Delayed Withdrawal Reaction (DWR) is a condition where the withdrawal of a medication or other agent (ie cigarettes) causes withdrawal symptoms months after the agent is reduced or stopped.
This can happen with many medications that are not considered addictive or dependency-causing. Examples include: SSRI’s, tramadol, some blood pressure medications, some antacids, and others.
Medications known to be addictive, such as benzodiazepams, sleep medications, stimulants, pain medications and others can also cause a DWR.
Peter Breggin has been writing this phenomenon for over 20 years, and yet is still unknown by most physicians including psychiatrists. Reducing medications by 25-50% per step over a few weeks can cause a DWR. Unless there is an urgent need to reduce a medication, it’s best to withdraw by no more than 5-10% per step.

Cervical Dysplasia is a pre-cancerous condition that is usually detected by a PAP Test. When a PAP test comes back abnormal, the typical process is to repeat it a few months later, since it can be caused by certain vaginal infections or other conditions.
The usual treatment for persistent cervical dysplasia is a Cone Biopsy or more extensive LEEP Procedure.
Holistic options exist for women who are motivated to avoid such procedures.

Pain: The Holistic Approach to Chronic Pain
Brain-Neuro-Psych Program
Pain by it’s essential nature is a psychological event, meaning that is is perceived by (in) the mind and is therefore subjective and cannot be measured directly.
Pain is defined as a negative sensory event, usually associated with a threat to life or limb. It is usually accompanied by suffering, which is the emotional response to pain (even non-physical). For example, anxiety is an emotional pain that is accompanied by the emotion of suffering.
Pain and suffering do not always occur in sync, as the pain of childbirth usually has positive emotions that override the negative, and the insignificant damage of being bopped by a sibling or being disrespected by a partner can cause much suffering.
