Mental Health & the Brain, Gut Connection

It’s been my experience over the years that very few people really want to discuss the underlying issues of the mental health crisis in this country; most just want to point fingers and blame this or that and call for more people to be “on meds”…even though the drugs being used are clearly linked to violence in oneself and others. But no one wants to talk about that.
One has to wonder though…as we feed our precious children in this country total manufactured junk and crap every single day for decades now…then allow them to be insulted by pharma from the time they are 24 hours old…then drug them by the time they are five, six or seven…one has to wonder…what is everyone expecting? But no one wants to talk about that.
The Truth is…you can’t keep putting synthetic chemicals into the developing minds and bodies of children for decades of time like it’s no big deal, then expect them to be healthy and stable because it certainly doesn’t work that way. The tragedies we are witnessing aren’t just happening out of no where but rather have been coming for a long time and it’s fair to say…too many people were too busy to pay attention.
At the end of the day our most precious citizens, our children, have been hijacked by pharma and the food industry for profit and convenience and no matter what anyone wants to admit…you can’t raise healthy brains and stable human beings on a lifetime of crap, sugar and meds. At some point, the shit hits the fan.
Of course there are other factors playing a role in the decline of mental health but until we are willing to talk about the gut brain connection and the crap millions choose to indulge in daily, then the conversation is far from being a whole one or an honest one. The gut brain connection is where it all begins and we either begin to take our health seriously or our children will continue to pay the price as will all of us.
As always, my prayers are with all the children ’cause they deserve so much better than what we’ve allowed to happen to them. Peace.
