How can the Mad Pride (or psych rights) movement benefit from a new, holistic, more health-conscious perspective which emphasizes more natural solutions in response to emotional trauma and depression? Many supporters of psychiatric rights are already leading the way in the effort to include nutrition, meditation/prayer and communing with nature as important elements of a better way. Whether they are looking to avoid devastating depression or recovering from the abuses of a system that relies too much on drugs, many people are finding great results through natural healing modalities. Is it possible to even leave powerful psych drugs out of the equation entirely? After hearing Oregon-based nutrition advisor James Jordan, we think you’ll find his reasoning sound and his hope contagious! James Jordan, CNC, is among Southern Oregon’s most respected and experienced nutritional consultants and has just released a new book, “Your Health Is In Your Hands: The Three Reasons You’re Not Well and What to Do About It.” Tune in Saturday, January 24th (11:30am PST/2:30pm EST) to MindFreedom International's special edition, hosted by Board President, Celia Brown. Celia will welcome James to talk about his new book, “Your Health Is In Your Hands,” and his unique perspectives on health and protecting yourself from the stresses of life in a polluted, alienating society with little support or community. 01:01:00Celia Brownnonutritional approach,James Jordan,Your Health Is In Your Hands,Celia Brown“Challenging the movement to think outside the box,” a LIVE interview with nutrition and natural health advocate, James Jordan, CNC, JD.

Oaks Listeners of MindFreedom's BlogTalk Radio Show are no doubt aware of the work of David Oaks, MindFreedom's co-founder, and know about his 40+ years of tireless dedication to the movement for a non-violent revolution in the mental health system. Many of you have also followed the story of his tragic accident last December that has left him paralyzed and a wheelchair user. He is now back to his family and friends in his hometown of Eugene, Oregon after a 3-month stay at Craig Rehab Hospital in Colorado and, as the saying goes, he is bloodied, but not bowed. David is determined to continue contributing to the success of the movement for psychiatric patients rights and he is as sharp and determined as he ever was! In his homecoming speech given to friends, family and supporters in Eugene on May 18th, David asked people to "open up the circle" to include more people into his call for a nonviolent revolution in the whole world. He's not just talking about a revolution in the mental health system any more. Tune in Saturday, June 8th to MindFreedom International's special edition, hosted by blogger and MFI staffer, Sophie Faught, who will welcome David back to the movement's stage. David and his brother Tony will talk about David's narrow escape from death and his struggle to survive his long journey back to recovery from breaking his neck on December 1st last year. David will also talk about the future of the revolution in the mental health system and, of course...we'll take your calls.

Find out why and what you can do to fight it! Sophie Faught, MindFreedom Communications Director, talks about forced drugging in the psych system and the dangerous precedent of proposed legislation in Texas: HB 2212, which makes forced outpatient commitment possible in Texas. Her feautured guest is Lise Zumwalt. Ms. Zumwalt has been making documentary films for 25 years for National Geographic Television, PBS, WNET, BBC, The History Channel and Discovery traveling from South Africa to the Baltic and from the Canadian Rockies to the South Side of Chicago. In every film, Ms. Zumwalt looks for the opportunity to reveal human character and gain insight into how public policy affects our lives. That's Crazy, Lise's first feature film documents one man's decision to take his treatment into his own hands, defying a commitment order and an order to treat while searching for recovery. Sophie will also be joined by MindFreedom member Ryan, a survivor of outpatient forced drugging. He will lay out the threat to our liberties posed by the expansion of forced drugging laws in this special edition of MindFreedom Radio dedicated to the topic of forced outpatient drugging. 2 pm Eastern Standard Time or 11 am Pacific Standard Time For background, read this recent blog about Texas House Bill 2212: http://www.madinamerica.com/2013/05/oppose-hb2212/   01:13:00Celia Brownnoforced drugging,psych drugs,Lise Zumwalt,psychiatric drugging,psychiatric drugsForced psychiatric drugging is on the rise in America.
