This Week’s Breakthrough
Stressed-Out?
Here Are Some Solutions
Whether it be money, relationships, sickness, war, or the plethora of other potential stress triggers, modern man is more stressed-out than ever before. In the U.S., over $300 billion annually, or about $7,500 per employee, is spent on stress-related compensation claims, reduced productivity, absenteeism, health insurance costs, direct medical expenses, and employee turnover. It is predicted that 
depression, one of the manifestations of stress, will be the leading occupational disease of the 21st Century—responsible for more work days lost than any other single factor. (1)
In 2003, the British newspaper The Guardian published a report indicating that nearly 25% of the adult population of France are taking either a tranquilizer, antidepressant, antipsychotic, or other mood-altering prescription drug. In persons over aged 70, 40% are taking these drugs, as are 4% of all French children under age nine. (2) Although psychiatric drugs can be useful, various categories of these drugs have recently been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, blood clots and stroke.
Stress is the mental and physiological reaction to perceived demands of daily life that exceed one’s ability to cope or respond to the situation(s) in a reasonable manner. The symptoms of stress include anxiety, depression, insomnia and fatigue, and may lead to physical ailments ranging from the minor to the catastrophic. Medical researchers are now able to measure the direct detrimental effects of stress on the cardiovascular, immune, endocrine, muscular, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal systems, and on mental health (3).
Not to be surprised, the pharmaceutical companies offer many solutions aimed at making us more tranquil in the face of our daily challenges. If we’re too tranquil, i.e., depressed, the many varieties of anti-depressants (energizers) will lift us up. One pill makes us taller, and one pill makes us small—just ask Alice.
Tranquilizers are divided into two groups: Major tranquilizers include Clozaril,® Haldol,® Thorazine,® and Risperdal.® Minor tranquilizers have more familiar-sounding names: Ativan,® Librium,® Serax,® Valium® and Xanax® (street names include: “libs,” “tranks,” “benzos” and “vees.”)
Tranquilizers such as the Benzodiazepines can be addictive even at prescribed dosages if taken for extended periods. Withdrawal may include diarrhea, delusions, depression, flu-like symptoms, general pain, hallucinations, heart palpitations, paranoia, psychosis, and stomach cramps. Withdrawal from some Benzodiapines can be life threatening.
Minor tranquilizers are designed to induce feelings of calm and relaxation. On the other hand, if they don’t function as designed, one might experience blurred vision, disorganized thinking, dry mouth, hallucinations, headaches, hostility, impaired motor functioning, irritability, lethargy, memory loss, nausea, sweating and vomiting. (4)
These are the tranquilizers. War is peace.
Antidepressants, on the other hand, are “mood-brighteners.” You may need them if you have an adverse reaction to a tranquilizer. Two main types of antidepressants are tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs; and their next-generation offshoot, SNRIs, serotonin-norepinephrine uptake inhibitors). These drugs function by reducing the uptake of neuro-transmitting brain chemicals such as serotonin so that more of the chemical remains available.
Serotonin, denoted 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is the brain’s master molecule. Adequate levels produce feelings of calmness and relaxation. 
Low levels produce anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other negative feelings and behaviors.
Pharmaceutical antidepressants are effective for many, but when they’re bad, they’re very, very bad. While this classification of psychoactive drug is intended to help people, sometimes it has the opposite effect—with catastrophic results. As an example, many of the highschool and other senseless shootings which have plagued the U.S. and other countries were perpetrated by individuals taking the SSRI group of antidepressants.
The list of casualties includes such household names as Eric Harris (Columbine High; total killed: 13, wounded: 23; Harris was taking prescription Luvox®); Mark Barton (Atlanta day trader; total killed or injured at two separate brokerage firms: 22; he also killed his wife and two children; Prozac® was found in his car); Brin Hartman, wife of deceased Saturday Night Live comedian John Hartman, was also taking a prescription SSRI drug when she killed her husband; Joseph Wesbecker, a Prozac taker, killed seven of his co-workers at a Kentucky printing company with a semiautomatic rifle.
Before sitting down quietly in a chair to wait for the arrival of the police, 42-year old software engineer Michael McDermott killed seven of his co-workers using an assault-type rifle, shotgun and a semiautomatic pistol. McDermott was a Prozac user;5 and the list goes on. Heard that from your local (legal) drug vendor lately? (Other popular SSRI drugs include Effexor,® Paxil,® Seroxat,® and Zoloft.® ) To view an informative index of hundreds of violent SSRI-related incidents, visit www.ssristories.com
In January 2008, Dr. Erick Turner, Professor of Psychiatry at the Oregon State Health and Sciences University shocked the medical world when the New England Journal of Medicine published his article entitled “Selective Publication of Antidepressant Trials and Its Influence on Apparent Efficacy.”
In the article, Dr. Turner disclosed he had discovered evidence that the pharmaceutical firms who manufacture antidepressants maintained an ongoing policy of hiding from public and private view the results of clinical trials whose results are not favorable to the drugs being evaluated. Rather, only the studies showing positive results are published. The hidden trials Dr. Turner discovered showed that in 49%—nearly half—of these trials, the antidepressants had either negative or mixed results.
Because such negative test results can be withheld from public awareness—as if they never existed—the unsuspecting public has no idea that many/most people using these drugs experience no greater benefit than taking a sugar pill. This is particularly reprehensible given the advertising spin that surrounds this group of drugs via the direct-to-customer marketing methods now permitted.
Another unpleasant fact regarding SSRIs, as discovered by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, is that SSRIs depress levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine—the brain’s “feel good” molecule. Brains of individuals with Parkinson’s disease produce almost no dopamine, and it is the absence of this neurotransmitter which is related to many symptoms of the disease. The Harvard researchers reported that persons taking SSRI antidepressants were almost twice as likely to develop Parkinson’s as those not taking the drugs.
Because of the harmful effects experienced by so many users of the SSRI category of antidepressants, it’s best to avoid them in favor of more natural alternatives. It’s important to note, however, that the use of SSRIs should never be stopped immediately, and any SSRI should be allowed to clear from the body before other products are taken.
Tune in next week to learn about effective, natural treatments for stress.

Kidsave, Children Available and Ready for Immediate Adoption - Make a Difference in a Child's Life
~ Families needed to host in December! Although it seems like the holidays are still far away, Kidsave is recruiting families for a December 2011 hosting program! If you are interested in helping an older Colombian orphan find a family this holiday season, please contact Nicole@kidsave.org. Summer Miracles: 66% success! After a summer of camps, pools and lots of barbecues, our Summer Miracles children got back onto airplanes, but this time with a little more hop in their step and memories that will last a lifetime. Through some tears, the Summer Miracles children kissed and hugged their new friends and future families goodbye. Most of the children have bright futures awaiting them. This summer, 66% of children have families pursuing adoption! Unfortunately, some children still need help. If you are interested in learning more about the kids who need a second chance, please contact Lauren@kidsave.org. Thank You! Kidsave would like to say a special thanks to our community coordinators, amazing host families and dedicated volunteers. Words cannot express our gratitude for those of you who have dedicated your homes, hearts and countless hours of time and energy to the children this summer. Without your thousands of hours of volunteer time, Summer Miracles is not possible. Kidsave also salutes community coordinators from the Metro DC Area, Andres Castillo and Jean Kim. After giving five summers to Kidsave -- recruiting host and adoptive families, supporting the kids and translating on top of it -- they are retiring. We thank them for their great service. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Weekend Miracles Los Angeles The Los Angeles Weekend Miracles program has been busy matching kids to host families! In July, older foster youth and prospective hosts had a fantastic time running relay races and playing flag football at an advocacy event at the beautiful Will Rogers Historic State Park. After a long day of activities, the kids and families enjoyed a picnic. In August, the Weekend Miracles kids and families were treated to a special cooking lesson with Chef Jose Melendez, Executive Chef of the award-winning West Hollywood restaurant, Boa Steakhouse. After enjoying a meal together, the children took home their own recipe books so they could put their new skills to work. Each event is followed by many conversations with social workers, kids and the event participants to try to match kids with people interested in hosting and mentoring them. In the past six years of the program, 4 of 5 participating youth have found permanent connections; 53% have achieved or are in process of achieving legal permanency and 27% are connected to a caring adult mentor. Of 65 participants who have had mentors, 49% maintained that relationship for a year or more; and 24% two years or longer. Most of these relationships continue today. Want to help older foster youth make lasting connections and meet potential adoptive families? Kidsave is currently seeking host families, volunteer drivers to help transport the kids to events, community outreach volunteers and event committee members. Contact Sybil@kidsave.orgor come to an upcoming orientation session to learn more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meet the U.S. Foster Youth in Need of Families and Mentors Matthew, born in 1995, is a quiet kid of Mexican and Greek descent. He is proud of his Greek heritage and wants to go to Greece one day to learn more about his roots. Matthew has a strong desire to be adopted and is willing to do whatever it takes to be part of a family. Like most boys his age, Matthew also enjoys baseball, playing video games and going to the movies. Matthew needs a permanent family to provide guidance and structure as he plays his way through life's riffs. Ninka's smile can melt ice. Her captivating personality greets you instantly, and you'll find yourself engaged at once. Ninka describes herself as being a nice and calm young lady who likes basketball, cooking and cleaning. She is focused on accomplishing her future goals of completing school and working with people. Ninka would benefit greatly from an adoptive family who can cultivate her natural talents and capabilities. To see all the children in need of families, click here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Randi and Tanya go to Russia The commitment for children to grow up in families is growing in Russia. While change doesn't come overnight, this summer offered hope. In August, the National Center to Prevent Cruelty to Children hosted a child welfare conference which engaged experts in child welfare from the United States and Russia. Kidsave's CEO and Co-Founder, Randi Thompson and Kidsave's Director of Russian Programs, Tatiana Stafford attended and shared what Kidsave has learned over the past 12 years of collaborating with the Russians. Along with a stellar group of child welfare professionals from the US and Russia, Randi and Tatiana shared experiences in Russia about family visits to help move children to permanent families, fundraising in support of adoption and Kidsave's Malenkaya Mama program, which is keeping babies out of the orphanages and helping prepare teen moms for life.

This summer the US and Russians also reached an agreement on the procedures for adoption of Russian children. The agreement was a long time in negotiation, but marks an important step between our two countries in helping give homes in the US to children who are not adopted in Russia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Support Kidsave - It's Easier than Ever! 7Laugh Phone App -- Download Now!

Children Benefit from Limiting Screen Time Limiting screen time is key for children's healthy development. Spending time in front of a screen can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with grown-ups and peers -- all of which encourage learning and healthy physical and social development. As children get older, too much screen time can interfere with being physically active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family. Learn more about recommended screen time limits, one of the five goals of Let's Move! Child Care, here. (http://www.healthykidshealthyfuture.org/activities/screentimes.html) Let's Move!
