George Carlin's Lost and Found:

From Dementia to Rementia

by

Dr. B.



Introduction

 

Today in the western world, Rich Man Diseases like hypertension and arthritis, diabetes and heart disease, stroke and cancer have become rampant. Sixty - 60 - percent of Americans have chronic illnesses. Then as we live in a medicalized society, sixty percent take drugs of one kind or another to “battle” those ills. "A pill for every ill."If we throw in over-the-counter meds, illicit drugs, and alcohol, the number of Americans being “medicated” is frighteningly high. 

“The person who takes medicine must recover twice,
once from the disease, and once from the medicine.”
William Osler, Father of American Medicine

We must add that around thirty - 30 - percent of American children are now being prescribed medications to be taken daily. Mental ills from school years on up are widespread and increasing. Consider reading Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker where mental ills are discussed from broad and wide angles.

At the other end of the spectrum, people are living longer which is part of the reason for the growing incidence of chronic diseases – mental ones are prominent among them. It is well understood that individual lifestyles and behaviors as well as community factors play important roles in the development of these diseases. 

In this context, we offer a broad perspective of modern mental challenges from Amentia to Dementia to Rementia. It does not take a medical degree to understand what is going on. The following book will make you more learned on the subject than many medical practitioners. At the same time, it will widen your horizons, expand  your understanding of spirit-mind-body, and give you Better Ways to turn problems into opportunities.

You can get your feet wet by going to the four-page Preview or jump in and start reading the text by proceeding to Part A.  George Carlin will be pleased to share the way with you. He had much to share for years and still does years after his passing.
