Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Pleeeeeaaase nobody crucify me for this or call me a troll but I'm concerned about Trump's opinion of mentally ill people and these supposed tent cities and insane asylums he wants to reinstate. I am both an alcoholic and diagnosed bi-polar and my brainwashed mother fears for my safety. Can you explain the history of Trump's remarks about the mentally ill and if these tent cities are legit or just a scare tactic from the left? Please help me clear this up, I only started following GA and DJT in 2020. Thank you frens
Read this book...it will change your life...
"Nutrient Power: Heal Your Biochemistry and Heal Your Brain" by William Walsh
I have successfully used Orthomolecular Psychiatry or B3 mega-vitamin therapy (read Abram Hoffer's work) for schizophrenia and have treated my adult son's bi-polar with essential oils taken internally with good success. Walsh continued Hoffer's work. Some of my children have self-medicated with alcohol and have utilized AA to their benefit. We are still working on the physical aspects of this...I find the relationship with the MTHFR gene variant to be very important...that is a problem with methylation of folate or B9 and can be responsible for a myriad of physical/mental problems. You can be tested and treated for this. These are interesting videos by Gary Brecka concerning this info:

I have never met anyone that was sorry they quit drinking, but I have met a ton of people who have had serious consequences of using alcohol. I love that you have chosen sobriety, and I encourage you to continue on that path. The B Vitamins are very important and there is so much information on the causes and treatment (that don't include psychotropic drugs) of mental illness and alcoholism. God bless you on your journey. Remember knowledge is power.
Undoubtedly nutrition will play a large role in tent city rehab. Be interesting to see RFK Jr and DJT team up on this project!
Not after seeing how much Trump loves McDonald's...🤢...Kennedy looked absolutely horrified...but nutrition has successfully been used in prisons but then taken out because that system is set up for failure. Also, AA used mega B3 therapy successfully but discontinued and I have to guess someone from the gov't became involved. Personally I would welcome nutrition based foods in prisons, schools, the military, college dorms, meals on wheels, etc. but I will optimistically and cautiously watch and see what happens...time will certainly tell.
