Description

This book is a compilation of what a neuropsychiatrist learned about the causes and cures of human diseases in his 41 year medical practice. I treated 25,000 of my fellows and wrote 1,000,000 Rx in the process. The book is divided into 51 Topics (chapters) and contains over 100 references. It serves as an historical review of the field of stress research as well as animal crowding research, as the two morphed together in my theory of "population density stress". Human overpopulation is a fact, as we have far exceeded the earth's carrying capacity for our species and mother nature is attempting to cull our numbers through our multitude of "diseases of civilization". Our hunter-gatherer contemporaries, living in their traditional manner in their clan social groups widely distributed in their ecosystem, have none of our diseases. As our extreme gene based altruism has brought us tremendous compassion and technological advances in caring for the diseases of our fellows, it has also brought us tremendous overpopulation and brought us near to ecological collapse. We must face our need to restrict our reproduction or mother nature will do it for us. A case in point: infertility in America has increased 100% in just 34 years, from 1982 to 2016. During the same period, our sperm counts have fallen 60%. No-one is willing to look at the obvious cause: neuro-endocrine inhibition of human reproduction resulting from population density stress. If any of this touches a nerve, please find the time in your busy, stressful day to stop for an hour and read this ground-breaking book. You may never have heard any of this information from any of your healthcare providers or the mass media. Big Pharma rules the minds of your healthcare providers and the mass media. At the end of my career as a practicing psychiatrist, I had become little more than a prescription writing machine and was actually instructed to "stop wasting time talking to your patients and just write their prescriptions". So, I retired and spent the next 5 years writing this book. I hope you find it as illuminating as I did doing the research on our epidemic of stress diseases. No wonder that we are ever more anxious and depressed, in spite of taking our 4,300,000,000 Rx every year! The real cure for our diseases of civilization must be a worldwide reduction in family size and a concerted effort to increase the opportunities for women to access education and work, as well as birth control. The alternative is increasing human disease and infertility from population density stress. Please read this book and tell me if you don't agree with my surprising conclusions. Good luck and God bless us one and all!

Author Biography:

I am a 72 year old retired neuropsychitrist who was born in Topeka, Kansas but raised in my parents' home state of Ohio. I attended Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, receiving a B.A. in chemistry, with a minor in biology. I then entered Medical School at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin, after a summer fellowship in cancer research. I graduated in 1972, completing psychiatry residency training in 1974. I held several academic positions and and treated 25,000 patients in several different practice locations, concluding in West Michigan in 2012. I have always had a keen interest in medical science, as well as all aspects of human history and prehistory. I am now retired and living in a small town in southwestern Wisconsin, where I can finally relax, hike in the forest, and enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The internet gives me access to all the many wonders that modern science continues to uncover, but I can turn it off and take a walk whenever my body tells me I've been sitting too long, like right now, for instance! Keep smiling, I do!
