UPDATE 2: Woman Who Admits To AIDS Hoax Speaks, Claims To Want To Spread Awareness!!

admin — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 17:08:18 +0000

The woman who caused a stir on the Internet this week with a video in which she says she has infected more than 500 people with HIV told The Detroit News today that she does not have the virus.

“I don’t have AIDS,” Jackie Braxton, 23, said in an interview. “I made the tape because I wanted to raise awareness about AIDS.”

Police picked up Braxton at a college she attends downtown and immediately took her to the city’s health department to be tested for the virus that causes AIDS. The test results are confidential, but Braxton said she does not have HIV.

The video, posted on Mediatakeout.com, generated several calls to the Detroit Police Department on Wednesday and Thursday.

Braxton said she feels “bad” about making the video that has spread panic among Metro Detroiters and others around the country. But, she said she felt her tape served its purpose when she went to the city’s health department this morning and saw people waiting to get tested for AIDS.

Braxton, who uses the stage name “Fame” and has a 5-year-old daughter, admitted she made the videotape to market her own site, which she says she operates with her husband. Braxton’s video on the Mediatakeout.com site had recorded more than 430,000 hits by Thursday evening.

Braxton also told The Detroit News she makes videos with her husband.

Police do not know yet if criminal charges can be levied against Braxton because they don’t know if she has broken any laws. Failure to disclose to a sex partner that you have HIV/AIDS is a felony.

“We are 100-percent positive it was a hoax,” said Deputy Chief James Tolbert.

The Truth about Mental Disorders.

Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses how mental disorders are created by the American Psychiatric Association and listed in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders.

Disorders such as bipolar, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety Disorders, etc. are voted into existence by APA committees.

The underlying assumption of biological psychiatry is that mental illness is biologically based despite the fact that no solid science has been able to identify biological markers for mental illnesses.

Stockton Mental Hospital – 30 Bodies found in Mass Gravesite

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 08:38:41 +0000

Stockton Mental Hospital –in Dec. 2005 over 30 bodies were discovered buried in an unidentified mass grave site in Stockton, CA. Grupe Construction was re-developing an area on the former Mental Hospital grounds now the location California State University Satellite office. We are attempting to locate Elizabeth Rathjen who was one of the former patients who we are seeking supposedly walked away from the mental hospital in Feb. 1956. We believe one of these bodies could be her and want the State Dept. of Mental Health Department to do what is right and to pay for the DNA testing so the people in the mass grave will have a name again and the families can have closure and give their loved ones a proper and dignified burial.

Donald the man you hear in the video was a former patient at the hospital and has insight on the terrible inhumane way the patients were treated. He has been instrumental in organizing a group called California Memorial Project that help give the people who died in the mental institutes a name and a dignified and proper burial.

In 1990 over 2,238 bodies were removed from Stockton State Mental Hospital grounds and moved to the Rural Cemetery and placed in 1 burial site with a headstone that reads “Unidentified Persons”.

The Mental Hospital facility sold for approximately 9.3 million dollars for the property but they can’t afford to pay for DNA testing. Grupe Construction found the bodies while digging out a pond on the property and claim they are not responsible for the DNA testing; State Mental Health Dept. say it’s not their responsibility; the City of Stockton say it’s not their responsibility … and no one wants to claim jurisdiction. Bill Holland from the Mental Health Department told Joyce who is the daughter of Elizabeth Rathjen she could pay for DNA testing on the 30 or more bodies found if she wanted to. Otherwise the bodies will be quietly moved in May, 2007 to the Rural Cemetery and listed as “Unidentified Persons” as well.

If you have knowledge pertaining to Elizabeth Rathjen or have family or friends who entered the mental health facility and were never seen again please contact me with your story. Please help us urge the State to do what is right and perform DNA testing and give these people a name and proper burial. Contact your local Senator, Congressman, Assemblyman or Representative and make your voice be heard. Tell them you want to Plea to them to pay for DNA testing on these bodies. If you would like to donate money to help pay for this cause you can also do that as well. Thank you for taking action in this matter.

Nutrition by Natalie

Nutrition and Your Mental Health

What does nutrition have to do with mental health? You might be surprised to find out the truth behind what happens when a person has a nutritional deficiency.

Nutritional deficiencies can cause all sorts of psychiatric symptoms including apathy, low energy, irritability, insomnia, low energy, agitation, fatigue, concentration problems, aches and pains, weight changes, including weight loss or weight gain. Sound a lot like the symptoms of depression? The truth is the average American diet of fast food is low in vital nutrition that you need for your body to function correctly.

This isn’t to say that all depression is caused by bad nutrition but it’s certainly a contributing factor in many cases and poor nutrition will always make depression worse. Antidepressant drugs also do not correct nutritional problems. So if your depressed because of nutritional problems an antidepressant will only partially cover up the problem and you body still won’t function correctly.
