Change Your Brain

so weed doesn't harm me AWESOME

[KindaGamey]

@hempartist420 it expands your capillaries, but can actually reduce lung function to as low as 80% for some. nevertheless, search for the cure for cancer and you will find help oil treats skin cancers and eliminates them. video testimony and pictures. search for theyoungturks and marijuana exit drug and they cite a study that marijuana is not a gateway drug, it is an EXIT drug: it helped 100% (!) of the alcoholics that participated in that study to wean themselves from alcohol.

[KindaGamey]

@KindaGamey durr. hemp oil.

[hempartist420]

@KindaGamey thats why I vaporize, so I don't even have to deal with the loss of my lung function

[KindaGamey]

@hempartist420 sounds expensive, but delicious. best of luck to you and your limitation-free brain.

[blazeadam09]

@hempartist420 Actually, anything that is smoked contains carcinogens. However, it is not even close to other drugs harmful affects.

Bahai faith solves it all!! the Bahai laws are new that was not present in any other laws before and flexible. Now adays scientist say that generation might go back to cannibal living and need every era a new teacher!! I m a bahai and happy !!!

[KindaGamey]

@Wisdombluetooth I have great respect for Guy Murchie who wrote The Seven Mysteries of Life. He was of the Bahai faith. I still don't know much about it.

[jodascerote]

Americans are extremely addicted to caffeine, alcohol, moan/complain, sue and the dollar. Does that mean that their brain is out of place and damaged?

[KindaGamey]

@jodascerote Err... yeah, it kinda does. I'm originally British, but I myself am still a great lover of the first two and a half in your list.

[thisismyytname]

Sometimes we need to hear what we already know, for it to sink in!

Great edit! Love the way you cut out all the crap in between!

[benji3001]

Dr. D. Amen is my mentor. Thanks a bunch Dr.

[AmorVomnia7]

This guy is a fraud.

I watched this yesterday, he talked about how someone had a messed up brain, and showed the persons brain on the SPECT scan "2 days after he started 'treatment'", and it looked way healthier... Is it just me, or does that sound incredibly fishy?

Not only that, but the scientific community does not agree with his usage of the SPECT in diagnosing early Alzheimer's.

His whole spiel has as much credence as that of a televangelist/infomercial.

[lani0]

thank you for posting this. loved the video.

(while i'm going back to look for/at naked ladies, this video posting proves that you can use the internet successfully for something else too!!)

again, thank you.

[satothis]

I watched this as well on pbs. It is such good meat. When you look at what he's saying it has been proven time and time again. Look out there people that exercise, don't drink a lot, have good social skills, that don't smoke, and arn't fat, are sharper and do have better jobs and are more successful therefore having a better brain.

[vihena]

While what he says does sound cliche, sometimes with all the newfangled quick-fix techniques out there, we tend forget that the simplest, most cliched and common sense techniques are the ones that work.

[AmorVomnia7]

Besides his pseudo science techniques on preventing AD, all he's selling is stuff everyone already knows.

He's added nothing to the scientific community.

And he's hardly qualified to be considered a "doctor".

Unless you consider having a medical degree from "Oral Roberts University" is worthy of such a title.

[jasamurai]

everybody knows that you should eat healthy and exercise regularly. does that mean everyone does it? sometimes getting people to do things is a matter of finding someone or something that clicks with them. So yeah, maybe it's not original, but if gets someone to take care of themselves better, who are we to complain?

[AmorVomnia7]

Ah... So selling placebo's is a-ok with you.

[jasamurai]

Anything curable by a placebo isn't a "real" problem, at least, not in a physical since. I think there is a place for placebos. I'm not suggesting everything should be treated with them, but they do serve well in certain scenarios. There are many treatments out there that don't use pills to cure depression.

[jdavalon]

They sell flu shots to the gov....are they hoping for the "placebo" affect? Do you know why a drug trial is always pitted against a placebo? ....because a placebo will always show a response; frequently beating the "drug"

ps: Candice Pert wrote a book for you.....

[turdburglar316]

Thank you for posting this video. It was very helpful to me.

[GiulioTheBeast]

How can I contact dr amen?

[mathistle]

Total propaganda bullshit! He misses out the critique of the experiments and has anybody realized the editing!? What total crap

[KindaGamey]

Don't blame him; I edited the piece. I wanted to just cram all the facts together and cut out the hemming and hawing.

[BMWmotorrad14]

All this message to me is a boring cliche that everyone should know by now. I really don't see anything powerful or shocking here: a priori knowledge. The best type of meditation is called sleeping. Nothing works better than that...and if you can't do that, take a five minute break. No one needs pseudo science unless they are week minded and can be fix by placebos.

[johntguitar]

You're absolutely wrong about sleep equaling meditation. They are two totally different things - science has proven this through numerous, unrelated research and brain wave studies in over the past 30-40 years. A weak mind is one that is inflexible and resistant to possibilities beyond what is familiar.

[stretch4859]

Very good reply, very insightful too. I liked your response.

[stretch4859]

Meditation is a proven medical fact that it does relieve stress and can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol and increase brain activity, look up lectures by neuropsychiatrists and you will see that they talk about meditation and other big tips on memory tools to improve your memory and brian activity.

[mitts61]

Thank you Tom Cruise.

[DragonFly122]

This guy is a genius!

[ineptgod]

"emotional pandering"

sounds like something an overactive left brain would think

your emotions are your sense of CHANGE

daydreaming is the illusion not emotions

[mskimchd]

Dr. Amen, you are the man. All information is truly helpful. Thanks a million

[shannonm75]

I watched the program this afternoon. Very good information. I bought the book too.

[wkd793]

great information. I actually recorded this video from PBS as well! Thank you; i would love to see the whole seminar.
