Am Pac Functional Tool: Fill & Download for Free

Yes. It's called neurofeedback (biofeedback). Without getting heavy into it.. Medicine is a great tool to avoid mania and psychosis.. If you find one or a combo that works for you, and you are satisfied with how you feel and function, awesome. For me, I never felt like myself when on mood stabs.. So a friend did me a favor and I did a new treatment. It's basically brain training with games (not like lumosity). Doc has your brain waves on his comp, you train each hemisphere of your brain individually with EEG nodes on either side of your head. Then a game starts, PAC man for instance (1st game I trained with). PAC won't move unless your are in the proper wavelength. Now the neurologist can see your A,G,B waves and over time makes it tougher and tougher on you to proceed. I know I'm not going into the great detail this answer deserves, but basically, you train a positive override you can employ at will to shut down an oncoming psychosis or rapid cycling. (I only progressed in my training by utilizing my purest and happiest memories and thoughts). What was that? Sounds dumb? When's the last time you forced yourself to think only pure and happy thoughts for an hour straight? It's not as easy as it sounds. I've used the override successfully twice since completing neurofeedback in 07. Once waking out of a really bad nightmare and the other when I was unusually depressed.As far as mania goes, I don't think there's a clear definition among beepers as to what is definitively mania. I will agree the major factors towards figuring your likelihood of being in a manic state are sleep, stress, and alc/drug intake. My trigger for mania is no sleep and uppers or ganja, but lack of sleep takes the highest precedence. Obviously, because of this, sleep is king in my life. Prior to being diagnosed in college at 19, I always had rapid thoughts. That was norm and still is (to an extent) to this day. (I live in so cal). As long as I sleep, I'm myself. I've only pushed myself once (32hr+) and because my sleep has been regimented, It was doable. Even with my training I would never stay up more than 36hrs unless it was life or death sitch.I think the common rational has been to trust psychs and only look at the mind when treating bp, when in fact you must look at the body and the mind. (I would include spirit/will here to account for stress as a factor towards mania, but to keep things simple lets include that as part of the mind).In the same way, I use my training when necessary to pull myself from psychosis, and I sleep well and take care of my body and soul to primarily combat mania.I must put a disclaimer here because I think its important to note. Even with successful neurofeedback (no more psychosis) and healthy sleep/diet (no more mania) - you will still have grandiose (save the world) and dark thoughts (suicide and anger permutations). You will still be looked at as different from everyone else. You will deal with stigma from family and friends. You may argue with all your shrinks over it. (I did). You will always have memories of your episodes as well as some crazy and eccentric thought flows.Then why try? Because once you can turn off the psychosis - it allows you the opportunity to come to terms with your life and what you want it to be - how you chose to view yourself. I can vividly remember the constant fear I felt of smoking weed or drinking or staying up late because of what could happen. I'm sure that stress only added to my cycling.I think its normal to have thoughts. I am blessed to know that I am more than my thoughts and my body. This makes it easy to let dark thoughts come in (what if I just used those scissors on the table to cut my wrist) and realize that's not me, it's just a thought passing through. Its not bad or unusual as long as it's not frequent. (Everyone thinks of killing themselves from time to time and just doesn't talk about it because its taboo - also most people are afriad of death) If you're thinking thoughts like this more than once or twice a week and/or they are followed by more severe negatives (I.e. Nobody will miss me, or I am worthless, etc.) Please seek help from fam/friends/psychs and if you have it, pop a zxprexa.I hate mood stabs but zxprexa was my old kill switch to reset my brain to even keel before neurofeedback. I'd usually sleep for 16hrs+ but I always felt normal after I woke.I believe having all of our thoughts regardless of their nature is a big part of what makes us whole. Meds shut down parts of your brain to prevent mania and psychosis, but usually turn you into a zombie version of who you are. Not a cool trade off if you ask me.I consider myself cured. I haven't had an episode manic or psychotic in 7 years and counting. Would my parents agree? No. But they don't know any better. Would my old psychiatrists agree? No. They don't want to recognize any non pharmaceutical/tech treatments for bp or anything else... And even if they did, neurofeedback is so new there are no long term studies on overall effectiveness in treating bp.. Yet. Their opinions will always be theirs, not yours. If you constantly live in a drug based fear coma afraid of your own mind.. I can't believe you are happy and satisfied with your life.So is there a way to fight bp without meds. Yes. It's called neurofeedback.P.s. It also treats ADD and is also used on patients who still experience pain after losing a limb.P.s.s. I know a hundred plus beepers and have scoured beeper forums and I still don't know anyone who's gone as long as I have without an episode and without meds.I hope this helps anyone looking for the way out of meds. It saved me.

Transactional analysis (TA) is a theory developed by Dr. Eric Berne in the 1950’s that involves a set of practical conceptual tools designed to promote personal change and growth.The goal of transactional analysis is autonomy, which is defined as awareness, spontaneity, and the capacity for intimacy. In achieving autonomy people have the capacity to make new decisions (redecide), thereby empowering themselves and altering the course of their lives.Eric Berne defined an ego-state as a consistent pattern of feeling and experience directly related to a corresponding consistent pattern of behaviour. So, Berne is saying that each ego-state is defined by a combination of feelings and experience that consistently occur together. Ego states, therefore, are a set of related behaviours, thoughts and feelings that make up our personality at a given time.The 3 Ego states used in TA are Parent, Adult and Child. Putting the three ego-states together, we get the three-part ego-state model of personality. This structural model shows what there is in each ego state. Because the three ego states are often labelled with their initial letters, the model is alternatively known as the PAC model.When someone is thinking, feeling and behaving in a way copied from their parent, or parental figures, they are said to be in their Parent ego state.A person thinking, feeling and behaving as they did during their childhood is said to be in their Child ego state.Behaviour, thoughts and feelings which are here and now responses are said to those of the Adult ego state.Often in everyday TA practice, we say simply that I am ‘in (my) Child’, ‘in (my) Parent’, or ‘in (my) Adult’.There are two separate ego state models used in Transactional AnalysisThe Structural Model (as mentioned above) is used to determine what is going on inside an individual, their thoughts feelings and behaviours and The Functional Model is used to determine social interactions in the analysis of transactions.The Functional Model still has the Parent Adult and Child but Parent and Child are subdivided. The Parent is subdivided with positive and negative Critical Parent and positive and negative Nuturing Parent. The Child Ego State is subdivided into Adapted and Rebellious Child and Free Child.

It’s funny you should ask that, because this actually happened a long time ago, when I was a young neurologist in Philadelphia. The entire world was completely free of disease and injury, but we still needed doctors everywhere.I mean it happened in the future, but I saw it a long time ago. No, the incident I’m talking about happened in the past… I mean… all right, okay, I know what that smile means, you think it’s my Alzheimer’s talking, don’t you?Well, for once, this old man has proof. You see that file? No, not that one, yes, no, ah, that one! Play it.<beep><static><time stamp initiates>State your name for the record, please.My real name is Marcus Arven Nitin. But your genetic directory will show that my name is Asher Nitin.Are you saying that you are not the person listed on the genetic directory?Yes.<murmurs, someone coughs>We will return to that. Sir, let me begin by stating the facts for your benefit as well as that of the investigation committee.By all means, major.Three days ago, at 10:20 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, a massive explosion occurred in central Boston, leveling two entire city blocks and resulting in massive loss of life and damage to property.NEST teams determined the explosion was non-nuclear in nature and found at the center of the detonation a crater 170 meters wide and 200 meters deep.At the bottom of the crater was this… structure, ah, on the screen.<murmurs, scratching of pens(?)>The outer shell was badly damaged, but thermal imaging revealed a signature within. We cut open the outer shell and found an inner shell with a hatch set in it. Beside the hatch were engraved instructions in English and Mandarin detailing the opening procedure for the hatch and a schematic explaining the contents. Upon opening the hatch, we found you strapped to a chair surrounded by what we presume to be life support systems. You were unconscious, mildly febrile, and on both feet, your little toe was swollen and red.I know. And I’d ask you where we are now, but I’m guessing you’d say that you cannot disclose that information for security reasons/Yes, sir, for security reasons.<subject laughs lightly>Then we’d better get down to it. I know how tacky this will sound. Half of you will pinch yourself ten seconds from now because you won’t believe this is real. The other half will suppress smiles because this will sound so tacky, but here it is, plain and straight: I am from the future and I have been sent to warn you.<murmuring, chair scrapes><coughing>Do you have proof to back this claim?Yes. In my habitat in the survival system I was sent back in, you will find to the left of my harness a safe marked 6-EVIDENCE. Your EOD teams and analysts are still trying unsuccessfully to open them but by now have determined there are three objects inside.I’m giving you the code to the safe. It is this… draw this shape in the air… like this… in front of the safe five times and it will open. Inside you will find a bowl, a spoon and a pen. Chemically analyze all of them. They’ve been made of materials that do not exist yet.Isn’t there some rule against bringing back technology from the future? If we reverse-engineered it, wouldn’t it..If you reverse-engineered it, you’d gain five years. If you don’t, the plastic in that pen will anyway exist five years from now, the metal in the spoon and the ceramic in the bowl in four.We figured there were only two ways you’d believe I am who I claim to be.One: the technology, so we included objects that would disrupt the timeline as little as possible. Everything else in the craft is made from materials currently available.Two: my code.Clarify that for me sir.My genetic code is Asher Nitin’s. The records will show he died in 2046 ACE. And yet here I am, with his exact code in my cell nuclei. Once you’re done checking your directory for an error, you will conclude the only other way for that to happen is via technology that allows us to replace the entire genetic code.But there’s more. My actual code is still on me. We re-coded all the cells in my body except for the ones toward the tip of my little toes. My symptoms are because I’m running an…Autoimmune infection?…yes. You took a tongue swab the first time. Now take a biopsy from each of my small toes. Compare the code you get with every other entry in your registry. You won’t get a match. That should prove specificity and accuracy of technology, I think. Listen, captain, I’m…It’s Major, sir.…major, I’m tired, it’s the fever, so how about I give you the short version? I know nothing I say will carry any weight until you have finished verifying both my proofs. And that can take a week.Very well, sir. Make your statement.I have been sent to warn you this: do not scrap NASA’s <static> and put the funding into the WHO’s <static>.I don’t know what that means, sir. Are those science programs?<subject laughs>I know you don’t. But that man, and the man next to him, whispering in his ear, he’s stopped now, do. They’re in charge of it, they think it will be the next big multi-industry science mission of the century, after going to the moon. And the problem is they are right. It will work.And?And you will turn Earth into heaven, and then heaven into hell.You can’t see it now, but you will. It will set off a series of discoveries that will earn it’s participants a Nobel in Medicine, and their successors another three Nobel Prizes, in Medicine, of course, and one incredible guy two Nobel Prizes, one in Medicine and one for Peace. And everything will go to hell in a hand-basket from there on, because one century later…By 2037 ACE…Genetic engineering will identify all defective genes in the human genome and code healthy versions of the same genes.Scientists in biotechnology and virology will collaborate to create the first viral engineers. Viral engineers will be a step above attenuated vaccines. These are benign viruses that will be capable of invading individual cells and replacing defective sections of DNA with normal versions of the same genes.But the problem will be the cost. These things will be prohibitively expensive. So you’re going to try to cut costs by reusing the same viruses over and over again. Distributing them through the body is simple. Collecting them won’t be that easy.Advances in nanotechnology will result in nanobots small enough to enter a bloodstream and inject viral engineers in distributed doses throughout the body, then collect them and assemble in the urinary tract so they can be collected in the urine.You’ll tinker and adjust till the process becomes ridiculously cheap. And you’ll start the IDVP- the Intrinsic Disease Vaccination Program. And just like that, within three generations, 80% of all autoimmune diseases, 30% of all forms of cancer, 100% of all metabolic diseases and 50% of all neuropsychiatric diseases will disappear.30% of the population will resist, on grounds that this is tinkering with original design. You will call them a lot of things, none of them complimentary. Some you debate into submission, some you will bribe and coerce, some you will force, and some will kill themselves. That will trigger a PR war, and in the end you will create the genetic registry you’re using today, to identify the unmodified populace. It will sound like Nazism, except that they themselves will insist on it. Over time, their numbers will decrease and they will disappear.Meanwhile, all the money you will save from not having to treat these diseases will now get funneled into research on infections.A century later, one really smart team will finally isolate the immortality mechanism of HeLa cells.You will take another century to redirect it’s vigor so that it will merely negate infections.You will take another half-century to find a way to create a new spot in the genome, for the genes that will code for the proteins that give HeLa cells their near invulnerability.You will finally have the genetic code for a system of cell repair that will isolate diseased or damaged cells and induce cell proliferation of surrounding healthy cells to match the death rate of faulty cells. You will finally have the tool to end all disease. And your nanobot delivery systems from the IDVP will still be around.You will start the MEM-HHP, the Moon-Earth-Mars Human Healing Program, to fix everyone forever. You’re going to find this easier to implement because high literacy levels coupled with a high development index will ensure rapid dissemination of the service.This time, 30% of the population will resist, insisting on embracing their original imperfect state. Civil unrest will break out, but it will be largely one-sided, because the only people needing treatment for injuries will be the people protesting the vaccine. Everyone else will simply self-heal. Over time, you will simply list these people in the genetic registry and let them be.Now your civilization will accelerate, without disease to hold it back.The population will explode. I mean literally explode. Every country on Earth will institute population restriction programs. A couple will be allowed to have one child, But if they want two, they will have to apply to the PACs.Could you elaborate on th…Pregnancy allocation courts. Since so many couples will be applying at the same time for a limited number of second-child positions, they will have to demonstrate their natural superiority over their competition. Panels of psychiatrists will have to be allocated to interview and assess each couple and rate them. Once the winners are allotted RTSPs, rights to a second pregnancy, OB-GYN teams will track the pregnancy (because each second pregnancy represents a huge investment on the parent’s part) and assist with the delivery. Pediatricians will track the growth and development of the children, as they would with all children.Family Medicine specialists will monitor their sectors and report in on their populations, and epidemiologists will track the trends. Imbalances will be adjusted for within a single generation by varying the RTSP spots available in a country.Sounds like heaven to me. So why would it go to hell?Ah. Because human nature. We’re always striving upwards, always wanting more. And you see the problem with wealth because it’s quantitative. But it’s harder to see with progress because progress is semi-quantitative. In fact,we usually tend to think of it in qualitative terms.Yes, but…Don’t interrupt me. I’m tired now, and I want to be done with this. Where was I? Ah! Qualitative terms. You see, major, when you create a population without disease or injury, you open up possibilities for them that didn’t exist before. Now they’re going to want to go places we couldn’t go and do things we never did. Or do the same old things with less. You will enter an age of artificial augmentation. Surgeons will start trying to incorporate prosthetic technology into human frames. People are going to ask for eyeballs with a zoom function, and comm-links in their ears.Surgeons will now have to find a way to place an incision that will hold, in a body that insists on repairing itself. And then immunological rejection will come into the picture. So the immunologists will go back to the drawing board all over, to find a way to make our cells accept foreign bodies.And one of them will go too far, and create immortality.It will be illegal of course, but that won’t stop people from buying it on the black market and using it. And catching them will be relatively easy, because they will not age over time. So they will have to make frequent visits to aesthetic surgeons…I beg your pardon. Did you say aesthetic surgeons?I think the word for them in your time, now, is plastic surgeons. By then their job will be mostly cosmetic corrections for the face, mostly. These aesthetic surgeons will now operate at the center of a black market that will artificially sculpt illegal immortal’s faces to imitate ageing.The law will crack down on this, of course. Except, how do you stop an immortal person capable of self-healing? You need a new generation of weapons. Mechanical injury would not work unless it is tremendously destructive, which is always a problem because of the collateral damage to innocent bystanders. No, what you will invent then will be toxic darts. Pharmacologists and pathologists will design toxins so powerful they can override even those cells. Quick and neat, eh?It’s incredible! Go on!People are going to want to leave, of course. It’s just that second earths, you know, Goldilocks planets are so far and few between, that inevitably some groups of rebels will have to slum it, on a planet too heavy/light, too bright/dark, too hard/soft, or even toxic. Anatomists, physiologists and biochemists will have to redesign us to adapt us to our new environments.And it will work. We will branch out as a species, some of us opting for denser bones, some for faster metabolisms, some for sulphur-based central metabolic cycles.This is crazy!<subject coughs>That is why I am here. To prevent the craziness for starting. Once you go down that road, there will be only one end.Which is?The place where we started, major.It’s that cliched story that never grows old. Boy meets girl, they learn to love each other despite their differences. Except that the differences in this case will kill them. The term you have for such a coupling: inter-subspecies coitus, won’t even apply here. In fact, we’ve stopped using the word species. We say <static> but I believe the closest word in your vocabulary would be “model”.Disease would re-enter the world. Worlds, rather. We’d be spread out all over the place, desperately trying to make sense of a reality we never imagined even in our wildest dreams. How do you think most of us would handle it?Mass suicide.Government-sponsored euthanasia. General physicians will be the last to die, of course, after euthanizing everyone else.My god.We god, rather. By then, we’d be gods: a thing we were never meant to be.<chair scraping>I’ve had enough. Show me to my quarantine quarter, major, please. And call a surgeon, my little toes are worse now. And tell him it isn’t an unusual presentation of Gout, that he just has to…<timestamp ends><static><beep>Well? You have your answer. Now don’t just stand there. Say something.Edit: I’m adding this a week after I wrote this answer. Came across this today. Breakthrough Tech: Scientists Use Swarms of Nanorobots to Precisely Target Cancer CellsFiction my ass.
