Mardy's Note, 2015.  The difference from my perspective at the time of the Newtown story and now is I'd have titled this with 'allegedly' before 'died'. Please see the end of the thread for my update 77 weeks after the 'events occurred'.  I'm very pleased that the action I took when the country was dumbfounded by the shocking story was to have this topic on the website by 4 pm the next day and that I was looking at mental health as the issue.  It was the start of the unfolding of things that would lead me to something called a 'false flag' that I'd previously never known of.  And so with that, I'll leave you to read the topic I created back then.  

I responded immediately when the Newtown situation occurred, because the country was shocked, and I was picking up on things being portrayed that didn't add up right to me. The following topic is what I created, and you can see the date and time. Today, May 14, 2014 ... 17 months later, I am going to edit in this preface and leave things below the line as they were originally presented.  I hope by doing so, YOUsers/readers will see that I'm growing in my knowledge of things just as everyone is who is making an effort to expand their fund of knowledge and become a more effective "YOU".  

I was disappointed and surprised in a way (and not in a way) when bigshots like Deepak Chopra said they were going to take a few days to evaluate the situation and formulate what they should say -- and that actually movitated me to say something and post that on social media ASAP. I feel that I made a balanced assessment of things in general and taking the approach to focus on how they were demonizing the alleged assailant, who had a mental health condition.

As you'll see, I went into information that is relevant for all people with brains -- about mental health and nutrition. In retrospect, that was a good approach, you'll see I was underscoring that much is going on in the news that is difficult to understand and do anything about but what you CAN DO is be in control of what goes into your mouth. (And on your skin and into your lungs too, etc. by the way, I like to put in those friendly reminders often.)  At least in general terms this is true, what's all in the products and air are sometimes not so easy to control, but doing your best or as best as you can muster at the time is beneficial moreso than not, it's THAT simple.) 

So you might go ahead at this time and read what I wrote, and get the information that at the time I provided, it's good information and nothing's changed about what I think about mental health situations that are in the news (or otherwise, for that matter). What HAS changed for me in the last year is that I became aware of the alternative information about this event and others. Talk about mind blowing. But I'd rather provide information to YOUsers on my topics that help EXPAND the mind, in a way that's effective and legitimate. I want to direct you then, to Sofia Smallatorm (whose website is www.AboutTheSky.com).  (When you go, I hope you check out the links about the rabbit hole  (www.aboutthesky.com/the-rabbit-hole) and consciousness (www.aboutthesky.com/consciousness).  Here's what you'll find at the rabbit hole link (an appetizer, trying to entice you to go and look around this topic, it will cover in a readable form with many photos, what is covered in the longer video too, so it gives you an overview in less time AND THEN also the video link there as well, for those who wish to do the video.) 

Enter. This is the world of the unveiling.  Everything that looked one way on the other side ... now looks different.  A thing becomes its inverse.  What you THOUGHT was the case is not the case.  As you wander in the warrens of The Rabbit Hole, you develop new vision.  How to see through the underworld. This section begins with some of the material.  There is much, much more.

What all this seems to add up to is not pleasant to contemplate.  Discussion of these subjects with friends and relatives may result in dismissal and rejection or worse.  However, the longer one spends in The Rabbit Hole, the more all the tunnels seem to connect to one another.  Most people on this planet believe in the essential goodness of life and that success comes to those who are dedicated and work hard.  Yet the issues outlined below all have one thing in common -- that the system and its technologies are set up to work against us.  We are being led by our innocence into what can only be summed up as our own genocide, and we are participating in the walk with ignorance and blind trust.

UNRAVELING SANDY HOOK

After many months of research and contemplation, here is a visual presentation of findings: .............

This is one of the TRULY most solid looking websites that I've seen in a long time in terms appearing well researched and executed, with a lot of interrelated information of this 'genre' all in one place. They have some really intersting products as well and it's not overwhelming, it was very educational too, the way things were presented. I'm pleased to see a website being a resource for our YOUsers who might be interestedin purchasing items along the lines of what we're about.

(I've seen that Ms Smallstorm routes people to the following as well: memoryholeblog dot com, JenniferLake dot wordpress dot com and SandyHookTruth, also at wordpress, Veterans Today which is James/Jim Fetzer, and NoDisinfo dot com. Now remember, YOU can find all the regular stuff the usual way on the Internet, I know that -- I'm trying to find some of the better information that's not so obvious, that's just the format at Lumigrate overall. )

 

On February 23-25, 2007, at the 911 Accountability Conference at the San Marcos Resort, Chandler, Arizona, Smallstorm, then known as Sofia Shafquat, born in Karachi, Pakistan, was billed as the creative force behind the video, 9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions. She presented a talk titled, Intellectuals Speak Out.

Apparently, according to one report, of November 28, 2009, Dr. Steven Jones supplied her with much of the scientific data that she used in her video. Air America interviewed her on 10/05/06 about her video. She was also instrumental in helping to launch the young men who made Loose Change. Dylan Avery, Director, Editor, and Founder of the group that produced Loose Change, Final Cut said in his remarks,

“In June 2005, my best friend Korey departed from the United States Armed Forces to come support the cause, and by July 2005, after a trip to California to visit KPFK 90.7 FM and Sofia Shafquat, it was apparent that Loose Change had taken on a life of its own.”

Her videos seemed to have functioned as the standard of belief, as least regarding 9/11 and now Sandy Hook. Her 9/11 video possibly provided a foundation for Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, a group founded by Richard Gage in 2006.

I consider there to be 28 victims in Newtown, Connecticut; naturally, the most attention has fallen on the 20 children and six adults who were at the school, doing their 'jobs' that day, learning, teaching, administering/leading/managing or lending their expertise about mental health as the psychologist who was among those killed was hired to do.

Many news reports listed 27 victims which includes the mother of the disturbed young man, Adam, who did the trigger-pulling. Other reports only focus on the 26 at Sandy Hook Elementary, and initially, I saw NONE saying 28, as they were not counting the shooter, who apparently killed himself at the school, where he managed to get through new security systems that were initiated by the principal, who is one of the 26, 27, or 28, depending upon how you want to tally things up.  Again, i view it as 28 and include Adam as a victim and I hope you will read why, and at least consider the information I present here. 

I am adding in a link to something which appeared after I wrote this, related to the way the media and people on Facebook/the public have gone offtrack realted to the autism aspect of this story. Please read it when completed with what I've presented here OR go and come back here and pick up where you left off. I highly recommend reading this blog at www.huffingtonpost.com/ariane-zurcher/autism-fear_b_2331797.html

I'm providing as references, below, only two articles of many from an educator contributing at Psychology Today, a site I very much like to support and link to.  Emily Deans, MD, is an 'evolutionary psychologist' who has an outstanding blogsite willed with clearly categorized information as well as her newer involvement at Psychology Today.  I find it an excellent website to go to today, and grew up being the one to get the mail most days, and each month when the new issue of the printed Psychology Today magazine would arrive, it was my favorite day of the month at the mailbox! (It was the Christmas gift to my family from my father's cousin, who was always thoughtful of holidays, birthdays and regular visits.)

Dr. Deans is a mother of a young child in addition to her work as a psychiatrist, and is delving into the issues of mental health and diet, in a field called 'evolutional medicine'; the "paleolithic diet" is perhaps a more commonly heard of concept within this realm of medical thought.  I encourage you to find Emily Deans, MD at her Evolutionary Psychology blog at Psychology Today as well as at her stand-alone professional website.  Links and excerpts below, to encourage you to go and check it out for yourself. 

Naturally, foods are one aspect of things, and I think about this as 'peeling the onion' as well as I can on the limited information available so far, but this is what I've done with my clients and patients for almost two decades now. I feel I am as frustrated at the inaction after year after year of proactivity and education to not only individual consumers of food, but the providers giving them outdated information and the medical industry 'upline' that isn't willing to learn and make progress, preferring to stay in the old track they're in.  

IF YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU ARE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU'VE GOT.  It's that simple.  So YOU, as 'just one person' have the ability to learn some about it today, start to form an opinion, and when you have enough 'opinion' gathered to movivate you, take action/follow through in your actions. Start with personal responsibility for what you put in your mouth, and then tell others if you believe it is important for them to know, thereby creating change around you.  

I believe this is true no matter what your position in life is professionally or personally. If everyone did this, what would happen in the short, medium, and then long term? This is how these 'shifts' happen, in all things that have eroded our well-being, or benefitted it. 

As I went about my business Friday after news of this tragedy was broadcast faster than ever across the US and world due to the increasing numbers using the Internet in addition to the other media long-used in the US and beyond, I kept hearing people at a loss to understand 'why'.  And not just this one incident, but "what's with the trend which is seeming to be an exponential curve related to these 'crazy' incidents."  

I saw that experts like Deepak Chopra where taking a couple of days to prepare what to say, but I thought it was best to come out as soon as I could, for those who might want to read what I, in part, attribute this to, and why I think YOU and I can start creating change RIGHT NOW, which will turn the tide.  It has to do with what we eat, generally, in the US, and that is why I consider Adam at the top of the list of victims.  And his mother, and it became a 'trickle down' effect, tragically, for the 26 in the Sandy Hook school on Friday.  My deepest respect and condolences to all involved.  

I'm an occupational therapist at heart, having practiced for about a dozen years, including doing one internship in a public elementary school, as I thought it was an important facet to my education to become an occupational therapist. If you're one to watch television, I hope that you have caught 'the British invasion' about food in the schools, Jamie Oliver, who actually took on a whole town but with a focus on the schools. I participated with a booth at an event to raise money for a local elementary school creating an organic garden by bringing in Colorado's "Renegade Lunch Lady" in 2011. They had been turned down for funding from a nonprofit foundation with a focus on health because the school was in an affluent part of town and there were poorer children/families/schools elsewhere in town, I heard from someone reliable and closely involved with the garden organization.  That made no sense to me: What about the trickle down that happens when those who have the interest and groundwork done get funded, won't it 'spread' and be a model and make it easier for the more 'challenged' schools to do the same?

Through my interest in that project, I learned a great deal about today's 'systems', and what they are being served at school.  In my work as an OT with outpatients  from 2005 to 2008 and in my work with Lumigrate consulting with people about their function in what I call the occupation of health care information, I've seen how many people are starting to catch onto concepts about foods and their mental and physical well-being; the GF/gluten free revolution has lead to virtually all Americans with awareness about health knowing there's at least a debate going on about what we've been eating and thinking was good for us. 

In the process of becoming an OT, I also went to great lengths get an internship in the psychiatric unit of the VA hospital in Denver, Colorado, which is where I spent literally the easiest work days of my entire life, back in 1996. This was a complete shock to me since it was a locked unit with only the most mentally ill admitted, and this was a year after I had learned about foods causing inflammation and chronic diseases as part of my personal health issues which came on immediately after I started the intensive coursework to become an OT.  They basically weeded out the weak at the start with courses in cadaver anatomy and neurology courses which included brain dissection courses.  

Spending 2 hours a day, five days a week during the summer of 2004 with a human cadaver lead me to stop eating meat, and you might recall those were the days where 'carb loading' was a popular concept. I believe my health 'tipped from wellness to illness' at that time due to the combination of increased wheat from pastas and breads I shifted to in order to fill me up in the absence of meat protein, on top of the mental stress of the coursework which was extremely challenging for all of the students, along with my continuing to be very involved with extensive gym workouts on top of bicycling, in-line skating, hiking, skiing and Friday evenings spent with strong margaritas with dinner eventually. then off to dance the night away with friends and my significant other, on top of ALL the usual toxins and stressors.  

My being on the early side, in the mid 90s, of the wave about foods causing the body/mind to get inflammation and out of 'whack', lead me to go into my internships in physical and mental health at the VA with a different colored lens in my glasses, so to speak. Their patients were getting very nicely prepared meals, served with juices and milk and etc.  Most of which I'd learned were not foods that are good for you to eat of you're wanting to be chronically well and not chronically ill.  But the amazing staff providing medications,  surgeries, therapies and other treatments, such as electric shock to cause convulsions of the neurological system and 'reset' it in a way, were yielding pretty good results.  

I wished I could have done an experiment where half of the people in both facilities didn't change how they ate, and the other half at the way my integrative MD from 1995 taught me to eat related to IgG food allergy testing I undertook and paid for out of my pocket.  Insurance has not yet accepted these forms of medical testing or treatment, you see, so if you want it you have to pay for it on your own.  Hence it's not exactly 'caught on', and that is why I put Adam and his mother just as much on the list of victims in Newtown as the 20 children and six adult workers at the school.   

I'd like to add that I was two degrees away from many people injured or killed at 'Columbine', with a personal friend's son being the youngest to die, and many of my clients at the time being Columbine students having challenges with learning to drive, hence their being routed to me for strategy sessions to peel the onion about 'why' and offer a treatment plan for them to work on to become successful drivers. This has been 'on my radar' big time since then. And just as the people who have clearly gotten frustrated with the situation about mass shootings, for good reason, I've been consistently putting efforts in for all these years related to FOODS and what people are EATING and what that is doing to their BRAINS and other parts of their BODIES. 

About Asperger's, Which Adam Allegedly Was Diagnosed With

It was at that job that I worked with my first young man who had Asperger's symptoms, who was undiagnosed perhaps due to the family's decision to home school early on when he 'wasn't fitting in at school'.  I fortunately had another client come in who was similar in behavior and dress (think of Sheldon on the comedy TV show Big Bang, if you're familiar with it), who had been not only diagnosed but his mother, who came with him, became a graduate degree and become a specialist in Asperger's.  The provider/client relationship  IS a 360 degree give and take of teacher/student, so that was fortunate for me to start learning about this condition back in the 1990s.  

I wish I could go back and know then what I know now related to diet and the gut, and the relationship of the gut and the brain. At least a popular brand of (not very good quality) yogurt has made the average American aware today of bacteria in the gut and supplementing with probiotic.  There's a whole other facet about prebiotic as well, and many people are aware of that today as well.

As for my not having done more in the past with the clients I had in my time at the driving school related to the food/gut connection, I simply repeat Maya Angelou's words of wisdom: "When you know better you do better." I encourage you to learn and know better and do better as well.  I am recommitting myself to doing so today and going forward, it's an ongoing process of being a life-long learner and teacher, now from the platform of Lumigrate.com.

So I hope that if you're reading this article and it resonates for you and there are others around you who might benefit from the information, please forward it on. Become an educator and a teacher to them, by promoting information you are learning about now.  It's THAT easy to spread the word. It's a little more difficult to change habits about eating and drinking. (And there is also the topical toxin component as well, the skin is the largest organ of the body so what we put on it is important to well-being.) 

I encourage people to think "MANY THINGS add up and lead to MANY OUTCOMES or ONE OUTCOME" instead of ONE THING leads to ONE OTHER.  People in the US (and beyond) tend to have a mode of thinking that we have been trained in recent, modern times to have, that came from the era when science was 'taking off', fueled by the discovery of 'pathogens'. Researchers would find a 'bug' and say 'this bug causes that disease', but they weren't looking at the overall whole of the organism. We're still inundated at this time of year to 'get your flu shot' and NOT inundated with information about THIS, THAT, and the OTHER THINGS to keep your immune system up. In other words, the focus is still upon ONE thing.

So when it comes to examining WHY the tragedy occurred in Newtown, CT, and WHAT this trend is about, I suggest people look at MANY factors.  And chose the ones YOU can DO SOMETHING ABOUT.  I offer something YOU can do TODAY to start things turning around in the overall community, and naturally, you can also spend time/energy/money doing other things you believe in related to political activism, etc.  

In my consultations with people, I teach them to "peel the onion" of their wellness, or the wellness of whomever they are consulting about. I use a 7-factor approach related to environmenal, social, emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual, and occupational (which includes making money and vocational).
