Thanks for posting such an interesting article. Although I am still unsure that I agree with the message completely it definitely provides food for thought.
Yea unfortunately this "warfare state of mind" is a normal thing for many people in the world...it is a good thing to be alert about things that happen around you, but i think there is a difference between a calm alertness, and the state of mind where you always expect something bad to happen in the next second. The type of alertness I have when I walk alone on a dark street at night. You are right, it is amazing what the human mind can adapt to.
It's a sad thing that prison seems to be the place where all the doctors go that con't make it anywhere else. Just because you go to prison shouldn't mean that you should loose all your rights as a human being, which includes the right to receive adequate medical care, but I guess this is exactly what happens. There are lots of doctors even out here who do it just for the money and do not enjoy their profession one little bit. Many times they actually work together with the drug companies and just prescribe people as many drugs as possible to make profit. They do things like putting little kids on psychiatric drugs when the parents report they are acting unusual or are hard to deal with. It is ridiculous. You could say, I have lost much faith in doctors and general so I am actually not surprised that the situation is even worse in prison. Probably the best thing to do is to try and do everything possible to avoid the need for a doctor, even if this is not always possible, especially in a situation like prison, but you can still try to avoid the worst junk food, exercise and keep a positive mind set which goes a long way in keeping the body healthy as well (I have made myself sick from stress before- the mind is a powerful thing).
