As I was reading the article I realized the "Freud" is just one letter from "Fraud".

Thank You for Smoking is also an excellent movie on the subject of "spin". Highly enjoyable.

Your completely unnecessary Freud bashing has me, someone who has subscibed to your newsletter for a year or two, absolutely livid. How dare you do a kind of bait and switch to give your quite interesting link more clout by pulling Freud into it needlessly, fueling people's uneducated and anti-psychology bias, which is so damaging to all perceptions of tragedy in this country. "He committed suicide because his girlfriend dumped him," or that guy shot all of thos people in the factory (just today) because he was laid off. People actually have no idea that there are unconscious problems and damage at work that are only triggered by momentary events. The goal of psychotherapy is to make the subconscious conscious so it no longer has control of you, it is in no way realated to a genetic predisposition as the last commenter intimates. Who is "confusing us with misinformation" now Dr Mercola, shame on you!

Personally I read about that years ago. The ideas of Freud were partly borne out of an intent to release a person from guilt. In an attempt to release people from the guilt they felt everytime they commited a sin, Freud sought to explain all actions from the point of view of the subconscious mind. So that your actions were not really you doing it, but your unconscious mind which you have NO control over.

The medical community has also latched onto this same fallicy which is why they're attempting to explain all disease that they don't want to cure in terms of "Genetic predispositioni", what a LIE.

It's the same idea, but instead of blaming the subconscious mind, they're now blaming your genes instead, attempting to remove personal responsibility and discipline from the equation altogether.

While there may be some truth to the subconscious mind and genes having an influence to some degree, it's no where NEAR the All Powerful influence that they're making it out to be.

Russ I agree the only one totally responsible for your own health is you. When you have children you are responsible for their health until they are grown. But you never stop caring about them. Always ask yourself these two questions about any advertising you might see. Who is doing the advertising. Do I really need this __________ or do I have something that works just as well.

Never listen to someone who is a morphine addict for medical or mental advice, as Freud was reported to be, I guess is the take away message here....

Of course, along with keeping the figurative kevlar jacket zipped, beware advice when it comes to hidden profit motive agenda's from your Uncle Sam, or those supporting Uncle Sam's employees, through corrupt lobbying...

Rely on the person you see in the mirror to control your own health and own well being....
