Bipolar? Do NOT Listen To This RUMOR
Published: Mon, 09/14/09
Hi ,
How's it going?
I have brought this topic up before
but I want to bring it up again.
Why? Because there is so much nonsense
on the internet that creates a huge problem
with information and bipolar disorder.
So today I want to talk to you about
something I call:
THE BIPOLAR RUMOR
The bipolar rumor is when one person
hears about someone they know claiming
to have heard about someone they know
being cured of bipolar disorder (did you
get that? I know, it sounds confusing).
Then they tell someone they know about
someone they know who knows someone
they know who was cured of bipolar
disorder.
Then they tell someone who tells
someone else who tells someone else...
Get the picture?
It reminds me of that commercial on TV
awhile back for some shampoo that
said , "And they'll tell 2 people...
and they'll tell 2 people...and
they'll tell 2 people..." and on and on
and on...
And all this telling people is all based
upon a RUMOR to begin with!!!
In my courses, I talk about how there
is no cure for bipolar disorder at this
time, but that doesn't stop some
people from seeking out "alternative
therapies." I even expose some of
these supposed "cures":

It's important to me for you to know
that there really is NOT a cure for
bipolar disorder at this time. That is a
sad fact, but at least there is treatment
for the disorder, and management of it.
But for people to claim some
miraculous cure should be illegal!
In fact, it is unethical, if not illegal,
when some company tries to sell you
some product that claims to cure
bipolar disorder.
You need to be careful of any product
that claims to be a "natural cure"
for bipolar disorder, because there
isn't one!
So you should KNOW that it is bogus!
It will never be able to say that it is
backed by the FDA (except as a FOOD
product, not as a cure).
But this is SO dangerous! I know of
one woman who believed in this
BIPOLAR RUMOR.
She believed in it so much that she
stopped taking her medication, believing
that she was CURED of bipolar disorder.
8 months later, she took a gun and
killed herself.
What was worse was that she not only
claimed this "cure" for herself (before
she died), but she told MANY other
people about it.
They, too, went off THEIR medication!
And they, too, went into bipolar episodes!
Luckily, they didn't kill themselves,
because they had good supporters, and
they realized they really weren't "cured,"
but just think about what could have
happened to them!
There really is NO CURE for bipolar
disorder at this time.
And anyone who claims that there is,
is NOT telling the truth - they are only
spreading a RUMOR.
A potentially deadly RUMOR.
If you have found yourself in this
situation, I BEG YOU NOT TO
LISTEN TO THIS RUMOR!
Please, please, DO NOT GO OFF
YOUR MEDICATION, no matter
what you hear!
I know, some of these claims can sound
really good.
In fact, I've read some of them myself
on the Internet.
There's one man who claims he was
able to go off his medication 5 years
ago and is still stable with his bipolar
disorder today.
And he is claiming that he is CURED
of the disorder!
Not only that, but he is claiming that you
can be cured, too!
And this is VERY dangerous.
Well, think about that.
Even if it were true that he is stable today
(after ONLY 5 years), what works for (only,
and I stress ONLY) one person, does
not mean it's going to work for another
person.
Secondly, he is trying to sell you something.
He is trying to make money off this
RUMOR!
And that is so dangerous, because if YOU
go off your medications, you can die!
So please don't listen to this deadly
BIPOLAR RUMOR, and stay on your
medications!
Have you ever seen these ads for natural
cures for bipolar disorder?
If you've ever been tempted to try them,
DON'T!
And even if you are, ALWAYS check with
your doctor FIRST!
NEVER go off your medication without
checking with your doctor.
