  • 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.

  • List of Phobias and Simple Cures.Pdf
    Phobia This article is about the clinical psychology. For other uses, see Phobia (disambiguation). A phobia (from the Greek: φόβος, Phóbos, meaning "fear" or "morbid fear") is, when used in the context of clinical psychology, a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational. In the event the phobia cannot be avoided entirely the sufferer will endure the situation or object with marked distress and significant interference in social or occupational activities.[1] The terms distress and impairment as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR) should also take into account the context of the sufferer's environment if attempting a diagnosis. The DSM-IV-TR states that if a phobic stimulus, whether it be an object or a social situation, is absent entirely in an environment - a diagnosis cannot be made. An example of this situation would be an individual who has a fear of mice (Suriphobia) but lives in an area devoid of mice. Even though the concept of mice causes marked distress and impairment within the individual, because the individual does not encounter mice in the environment no actual distress or impairment is ever experienced. Proximity and the degree to which escape from the phobic stimulus should also be considered. As the sufferer approaches a phobic stimulus, anxiety levels increase (e.g. as one gets closer to a snake, fear increases in ophidiophobia), and the degree to which escape of the phobic stimulus is limited and has the effect of varying the intensity of fear in instances such as riding an elevator (e.g.

  • 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 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).
