Hi Mark
I would like to know
if there is a group out there that can help with living and
dealing with people
who have Bi-Polar disorder
(not sure if that is the proper diagnosis). The problem is
with my Dad who's had this problem for about 20 years now if
not longer. I want to get help for my Mom who's practically
burned out to the point
where I'm concerned she's going to stress herself out.

Gambler found nowhere to turn
Amid cultural stigma, he
killed; others suffer
It's a slow Thursday night inside the MGM Grand Detroit Casino, but the
cards at the blackjack table are flying fast. The players wordlessly
smoking cigarettes are a mix of Detroit's melting pot -- Asian, Arab,
black and white -- in a room where money is the great equalizer.

In
the fall of 1934, a terminally ill man lay in a New York hospital
bed pondering his fate. He knew that there was no effective medical
treatment for his disease, and he was resigned to the dire
likelihood that he would die within months. As he later recounted
it, he asked God to intervene, saw a brilliant burst of light, and
felt immense peace. Days later he checked out of the hospital, free
of his sickness. When he finally died in 1971, he was considered a
saint by millions, and the treatment he devised remains the only
widely recognized approach to the disease that almost killed him.

"Amphetamine
is a stimulant drug," Dr. Halsey Hunt, the nation's
assistant surgeon general, told the House Ways and Means
Committee in 1955, "and as far as I know, it is not
addicting in the true sense of the word."
To
this, the chief narcotics consultant to the National Institute
on Mental Health, Dr. Kenneth Chapman, added:
"Amphetamine does not cause physiological
dependence." He noted, moreover, that amphetamines had
socially beneficial uses. |

Acupuncture can
work, and it's not just wishful thinking
There is nothing New Age about the
Lincoln Hospital Recovery Center in New York's South Bronx. Broken
glass glitters outside the main entrance, where drug-addicted men and
women wait in line for the clinic to open at 7:30 a.m. Inside, the
décor is institutional drab. Yet the treatment of choice might seem
more at home among the hot tubs of Marin County: a set of small
acupuncture needles in each ear.
