What is one of the most destructive things in our world today? If you answered drugs, then you share that view with the majority of people in your community. Illegal drugs, and their resultant violence and crime, are recognized as a major threat to children and society. However, very few people recognize that illegal drugs represent only part of today's drug problem. During the last 40 to 50 years there have been major worldwide changes in our reliance on another type of drug, namely prescription psychiatric drugs. These are drugs with documented side effects such as mania, psychosis, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, heart attack and sudden death—yet they bring in over $80 billion in sales each year. People have been deceived into thinking that the best answer to life's many routine difficulties and challenges lies with the ''latest and greatest'' psychiatric drug. This week's guest is Dr. Jannell White, a former pharmacy tech turned chiropractor who found there are natural alternatives to the widespread psychiatric drugging of our population.

Individuals prescribed antidepressants or other psychiatric drugs are rarely told about the potential dangers of the drugs, especially if they try to come off of them. Antidepressants such as Prozac or antipsychotics such as Zyprexa have serious side effects on their own, but the withdrawal effects if one tries to come off of them are severe and are rarely shared with the patient. Many patients trying to come off of these drugs have found the withdrawal effects so severe they have been unable to stay off of them. There are solutions for such people and Jim Harper, founder of The Road Back Program and author of several books including How to Get Off Psychiatric Drugs Safely has vital information on how to get off of psychiatric drugs, in this 37-minute show.

There are over 56 million Americans taking psychiatric drugs, yet there are no tests in existence that can prove mental ''disorders'' are medical conditions.  This week's guest is Don Walker, exercise physiologist, who discusses the many ways that can help people achieve mental stability without such drugs.

There are very few families today whose lives have not been interrupted in some way by the widespread drugging of children with prescribed, mind-altering drugs.  This week's guest is Leslie Darr, a mother who was pressured to drug two of her sons, both who had serious side effects.  She's speaking out to ensure other families get the true information on the dangers of these drugs.

ADHD diagnoses are based solely on symptoms – not lab tests or brain scans showing a physical abnormality of the brain. So why are children being put on powerful stimulant drugs? Because ADHD is a marketing campaign—not a diagnosable disease. This week's guest is Steve Plog, founder of The Results Project.  He discusses his nutritional approach to behavioral symptoms.

Contrary to the public's perception, the clinical trials for psychiatric drugs don't last years. At most, they last eight weeks. The true dangers of a psychiatric drug however aren't fully known until consumers—you, your children or other loved ones—have been taking it for considerably longer. But even if serious effects occur in the testing phase, pharmaceutical companies are quite adept at ensuring their drugs approval by obscuring and manipulating trial data. With headline news in recent years about one drug company that settled 30,000+ lawsuits for the diabetic side effects of their antipsychotic drug, to an antidepressant manufacturer's early undisclosed knowledge of the potential birth defects for which they now face 600 lawsuits, it should be apparent that psychiatry and the pharmaceutical companies don't care too much about our health. Such manipulations include conducting studies until the company has enough positive ones (discarding the negative ones) for approval and removing people from the study who experienced negative side effects. Psychology professor Timothy Scott, author of America Fooled – The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We Have Been Deceived, exposes how we've been deceived by the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry in this 37-minute show.

There are numerous alternatives to psychiatric diagnoses and treatment, including standard medical care that does not require a stigmatizing and subjective psychiatric label or a mind-altering psychiatric drug.   Psychiatric drugs directly affect the brain and central nervous system in ways even psychiatrists admit to not understanding, yet they freely prescribe them despite their devastating side effects.  Dr. Gary Kohls, a family practitioner that specializes in holistic and preventive mental health care, describes the difference between using non-harmful, non-psychiatric medical treatments instead of dangerous psychiatric drugs to handle problems of mood, behavior and attention in this 34-minute show.

Psychiatrists commonly claim today that mental disorders are just like physical illnesses, like diabetes, heart disease or asthma. Nothing could be further from the truth. Psychiatrists not only admit that they have no idea of what causes these supposed ''diseases,'' they have no scientifically validated proof whatsoever that they even exist as discrete physical illnesses. Patients are betrayed when told their emotional problems are genetically or biologically based. This week's guest, Georgia Janisch, a registered dietician, will discuss what you can do to find the real underlying medical conditions.

From the ages of 12–18, Tonisha Robinson was in and out of psychiatric facilities while in foster care, taking many harmful psychiatric drugs. She was vocal about abuses she witnessed and was often singled out and put into a padded seclusion room. She was forced to take over 15 drugs orally and when she refused, she would be given a muscular injection.  This week, Tonisha tells her story.

Diet and nutrition are important to a healthy lifestyle. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, ''People who get regular exercise, eat healthy have… reduced rates of disability, better mental health and cognitive (reasoning) function, and lower health costs.'' Medical studies have shown time and again that for many people, what appear to be mental problems are actually the result of an undiagnosed physical illness or condition. Yet, psychiatry ignores this weight of scientific evidence, assigning all blame to illnesses and supposed ''chemical imbalances'' in the brain that have never been proven to exist, and limits practice to pharmaceutical and other treatments that have done nothing but damage the brain and the individual. This week's guest is Tracy Conner, owner of Infinite Wellness, a program that provides healthy natural alternatives to such psychiatric ''treatments.''
