  • A Review of a Culture's Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada
    IK: Other Ways of Knowing Book Review A Review of A Culture’s Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada Book Review by Kevin Feeney PhD. JD, Central Washington University A Culture’s Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada by Kahan, Fannie, edited by Erika Dyck. 2016. Winnipeg, MB: University of Manitoba Press. 130 pp. Paperback $27.95. ISBN 978-0887558146 doi 10.18113/P8ik360543 Fannie Kahan’s new book, A Culture’s Catalyst, provides a novel glimpse into an era when psychedelic research was at its peak, and when social fears about psychedelics were limited to the imagined orgies of peyote cults. Kahan’s original manuscript was completed back in 1963, but failed efforts at finding a publisher left the book gathering dust in the archives of the author’s brother, Abram Hoffer. The manuscript remained buried in papers until it was uncovered by historian Erika Dyck during investigations on the history of psychedelic research in Canada. Dyck has brought this manuscript to light by editing it for clarity and uniformity, and providing an in-depth introduction contextualizing Kahan’s work within the political landscape of the 1950s and early 1960s. Kahan’s book is largely built around a Native American Church peyote ceremony held during 1956 in North Battleford, Sasketchewan. A handful of White scientists attended the ceremony, including book contributors Duncan Blewett, Abram Hoffer, Humphry Osmond, and Teodoro Weckowicz. Kahan, who is a journalist by training, has assembled and presented what might best be characterized as a defense of peyotism, the religious use of peyote, with a text that veers between reporting and editorializing.

  • Anxiety Or Depression a New Look at Mental Health Issues from an Applied Kinesiology Perspective
    Anxiety or Depression A new look at mental health issues from an Applied Kinesiology perspective Chris Astill-Smith D.O., N.D. Diplomate ICAK Marlow UK chris@[email protected] Prior to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 44 million people in the European region suffer from depression and 37 million suffer from anxiety. High unemployment, social distancing requirements, isolation from family and friends, as well as other changes in response to the coronavirus crisis, have led to extra varying levels of uncertainty, fear and anxiety.* *https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/depression If you look actually at the statistics on the larger-selling categories of drugs, both anti- psychotics and antidepressants rank in the top five in terms of sales and profit. It is fairly obvious there is a huge incentive there. Vitamin P We all get anxious and depressed everyday for periods of time. But for most of us they lift when the event is over and we move on to other emotions hopefully more positive ones. This is natural and normal. 5 Senses Vision Event t Hearing Subconscious Touch conditioning Taste Your perceptiont Smell Mediated by Emotional changes due to the Hypothalamus Neurotransmitter imbalancet Change of Feeling due to Mediated by the HPA axis Hormonal imbalancet Loss of Muscle tone Physical symptoms due to Meridian / Muscle imbalance What is abnormal is if the anxiety or depression remain if the causal incident has passed or worse if we feel anxious or depressed and there has been no cause. This is probably indicative of a biochemical imbalance in our neurotransmitter and / or hormonal systems.

This month I will follow up on a theme from our Ninth International Symposium on Functional Medicine, which we held in May at the Diplomat Hotel and Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I refer to orthomolecular psychiatry, a topic Dr. Abram Hoffer brought to our attention at the symposium. Together with Dr. Linus Pauling, Dr. Hoffer was an originator of that field. I begin with a quote from an article titled "Orthomolecular Psychiatry," which was published in Science magazine in 1968.1 Dr. Pauling, the principal author of that article, won two Nobel Prizes, one for chemistry and one for peace. "The methods principally used now for treating patients with mental disease are psychotherapy (psychoanalysis and related efforts to provide insight and to decrease environmental stress), chemotherapy (mainly with the use of powerful synthetic drugs, such as chlorpromazine, or powerful natural products from plants, such as reserpine), and convulsive or shock therapy (electroconvulsive therapy, insulin coma therapy, pentylenetetraze! shock therapy). I have reached the conclusion, through arguments summarized in the following paragraphs, that another general method or treatment, which may be called orthomolecular therapy, may be found to be of great value, and may turn out to be the best

  • SUBMISSION of Douglas L
    SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON MENTAL HEALTH INQUIRY SUBMISSION of Douglas L. McIver ATTACHMENT E Orthomolecular Pioneers & Resources I think it reasonable to claim that during the time of my personal ill-health, the medical fraternal was becoming more aware of interactions between environmental factors and dysfunctional health, helped by the excellent pioneering work in the USA by Dr Theron Randolph, and his disciples. There are those in the Australian and New Zealand medical and health fraternity who are now more familiar with the benefits of orthomolecular medicine, assisted by the work and literature during the 1980s of Richard Mackarness, Abram Hoffer, Marshall Mandell, Carl Pfeiffer, Robert Forman and Alexander Schauss. During the 1980s and since, Dr Sherry Rogers, Robert Buist, Ian Brighthope, Avni Sali, Colin Little et al have done terrific work on chemical sensitivity and food intolerances in relation to health dysfunction. And the growth in interest in this field of medical endeavour can be seen in the establishment in our geographical region of the medical and health professional body known as the Australasian College of Nutrition and Environmental Medicine, and in Queensland, the Australian Centre for Complementary Medicine Education and Research (ACCMER). I refer the Senate Select Committee to the following for a selected list of literature, articles, websites and contacts. Literary References and Contacts Robert Buist PhD: Food Intolerance (Harper & Row Sydney 1984 ISBN 006 3120550) and Food Chemical Sensitivity (Harper & Row Sydney ISBN 0 06 312083 6).

  • Treating Dementia with Vitamin B3 and NADH
    JOM Volume 26, Number 4, 2011 Review Article 163 Treating Dementia with Vitamin B3 and NADH Jonathan E. Prousky, ND, MSc1,2 1 Chief Naturopathic Medical O!cer, Professor, Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, 1255 Sheppard Avenue East, Toronto, Ontario, M2K 1E2, Tel: 416-498-1255 ext. 235, email: [email protected] 2 Editor, Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, email: [email protected] Abstract Dementia a!ects approximately 5 million people in the United States, and about 475,000 elderly Canadians. Dementia is a debilitating and often progressive illness. "e most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, followed by vascular types. "ere is a need to investigate novel treatments because the current crop of medications have limited value. Niacin might be a worthwhile treatment to consider. Research has shown that the risks of incident AD increase when patients have insu#cient intakes of niacin from diet or medical conditions that precipitate niacin de$ciency. Clini- cal reports have documented therapeutic bene$ts when patients receive optimum daily doses of niacin. Preliminary trials evaluating the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) found it a safe and e!ective treatment for AD. At present, research evaluating the therapeutic applications of niacin and/or NADH for dementia is at a standstill. However, niacinamide is being evaluated in a clinical trial to determine if it is safe and bene$cial for patients with AD. Hopefully, the forthcoming results will encourage researchers and clinicians to study niacinamide further, and revisit the therapeu- tic potential of vitamin B3 as a safe and an e!ective treatment for dementia.

  • The Original Captain Trips
    The Original Captain Trips by Todd Brendan Fahey Before Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band...before Timothy Leary...before Ken Kesey's band of Merry Pranksters and their Electric Kool-Aid Acid Tests...before the dawn of the Grateful Dead, there was Alfred M. Hubbard: the Original Captain Trips. You will not read about him in the history books. He left no diary, nor chatty relatives to memorialize him in print. And if a cadre of associates had not recently agreed to open its files, Captain Alfred M. Hubbard might exist in death as he did in life--a man of mirrors and shadows, revealing himself to even his closest friends only on a need-to-know basis. They called him "the Johnny Appleseed of LSD." He was to the psychedelic movement nothing less than the membrane through which all passed to enter into the Mysteries. Beverly Hills psychiatrist Oscar Janiger once said of Hubbard, "We waited for him like a little old lady for the Sears-Roebuck catalog." Waited for him to unlock his ever-present leather satchel loaded with pharmaceutically-pure psilocybin, mescaline or his personal favorite, Sandoz LSD-25. Those who will talk about Al Hubbard are few. Oscar Janiger told this writer that "nothing of substance has been written about Al Hubbard, and probably nothing ever should." He is treated like a demigod by some, as a lunatic uncle by others. But nobody is ambivalent about the Captain: He was as brilliant as the noonday sun, mysterious as the rarest virus, and friendly like a golden retriever.

  • Video #4 – Drug Therapy Script You Could Argue That Drugs Have Always Been a Part of Mental Health Care. People Have Experimen
    500 Church Street, Penetanguishene ON L9M 1G3 500, rue Church, Penetanguishene (Ontario) L9M 1G3 705-549-3181 www.waypointcentre.ca Video #4 – Drug Therapy Script You could argue that drugs have always been a part of mental health care. People have experimented with different sedatives and stimulants throughout history – including nerve tonics, alcohol, cocaine, morphine, and laudanum. But it was the discovery in 1951 of the first antipsychotic medication that truly ushered in the “drug era” of mental health care. I’m John Leclair and this is “Keys to Our Past.” Please join me on this voyage of discovery as we explore the history of mental health care in Canada, through the drugs we use to treat and understand it. Hello, welcome to my study. In December of 1951, while searching for new anti-histamines, a pharmaceutical company in France first synthesized chlorpromazine. Within a few months, a group of French army doctors started to realize the potential psychiatric benefits. Clinical investigations began soon after with the results being a calming effect on even the most agitated patients. Within three years of its discovery, chlorpromazine had transformed mental health care around the world. Chlorpromazine entered mental health hospitals at a time when therapies were time consuming and labour intensive. Shock therapies and leucotomies required many hours and several staff members to administer. Part of the appeal of the new drug was that it didn’t require much time or effort to distribute; it was also considered to be less dangerous than the other therapies. Of course, chlorpromazine was not without its side effects – it caused patients to be drowsy, created movement problems, and resulted in unhealthy weight gain.
