Ramtha on
Neuroscience and Prozac
Recent scientific research has
verified Ramtha's description of the effects and benefits of Prozac on the
brain. The scientific findings were led by Grigori Enikolopov at the Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory and were published in May 2006 in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences. Read the Article
David Biello, reporting these
findings for Scientific American magazine, explains, "New research in
specially bred mice has elucidated how the antidepressant Prozac works.
Scientists have long known that in addition to discouraging synapses from
reabsorbing the neurotransmitter serotonin, Prozac (known generically as
fluoxetine) also increases the number of neurons (neurogenesis) in the
adult brain. But exactly how the drug manages this multiplication trick
has proved difficult to pin down. Now researchers have traced the
development cascade of new neurons and determined where fluoxetine exerts
its multiplying — and beneficial — effect." Read the Article
Ramtha explained the mechanism and
benefits of Prozac on the human brain in May 1996, exactly ten years
before the scientists disclosed their discovery based on the study of lab
mice:
"I find the neurotransmitting
qualities of Prozac to be extraordinarily favorable because it
replaces what drugs and marijuana, too much hard drink, and too much
pollution does finally to the brain. It makes the synaptic cleft
incapable of pulling up and holding serotonin. Without serotonin
being held at the synaptic cleft, those who suffer depression and
erratic thinking cannot function correctly because the brain is
unduly starved and mutated by a severe amount of drugs. This
mercifully corrects the problem and allows serotonin to be taken up
into the neuron and held there without immediately being released.
This affords the neuron the ability to be a transmitter and a
receiver of thought. Prozac is what brings back a calming, logical,
flowing thinking, whereas marijuana destroys the brain. It destroys
the brain cells. The 'high' is the death of the brain."

Beyond Scientific Discovery
Ramtha's description of the effects
of Prozac goes far beyond what the scientists have been able to find and
verify. In the spring of 2000, Ramtha explained:
"Prozac isn't a drug. It is
an inhibitor. The part of your brain you use every day is your
'beefy' brain. It is the brain that takes the lion's share of
serotonin to get up and get moving those chemicals. If we are living
exclusively for our brain chemistry, we have a collapse of emotion.
Eventually we are going to get bored with what we are doing and we
are going to collapse and start being manic-depressive. What that
means is that no matter what you do, you see that you have already
done it so the joy is going to be short-lived. That is called manic-
depressiveness. It is a chronic condition."
"Prozac takes up serotonin
and holds it so there are new parts of your brain that actually come
alive. The old neuronet doesn't get the lion's share of serotonin so
you don't have a tendency to be depressed. You don't have a tendency
to be habitual. You will not have a tendency to overeat. You will
not have a tendency to be oversexual. You will not be violent. You
will not have fantasies that grow within 'the corral' over there.
You will start living from a new part of your brain. All Prozac does
is make sure that this new part of the brain takes up serotonin,
keeps it there, and uses it."

The Placebo
Effect and the Power of Imagination
An interesting study reported by
Kate Wong for Scientific American magazine describes how effective
placebos are in relieving depression and the part of the brain they
actually activate: "Scientists have recognized for some time that people
suffering from depression often experience a substantial reduction in
symptoms when given a placebo. In fact, this observation has led some
researchers to propose that up to 75 percent of the apparent efficacy of
antidepressant medicine may actually be attributable to the placebo
effect. According to a report in the January issue of the American Journal
of Psychiatry, depressed patients who respond to placebo treatment do
exhibit a change in brain function, but one that differs from that seen in
patients who respond to medication. Patients who responded favorably to
the placebo showed increased activity in a region of the brain known as
the prefrontal cortex. Those who responded to medication, in contrast,
exhibited suppressed activity in that area." Read the Article
A few final words
by Ramtha explain the importance of the brain and imagination for our
health and well-being, as some scientists are beginning to suspect:
"If we have emotions, we have
then only memory. In imagination, we are free from emotion. That is
why daydreamers resort to imagination to lift them up from
depression. If society's scientists and medical doctors,
neuroscientists, and neurophysicists destroy imagination, they have
destroyed the natural Prozac of human luster."

Objective/Subjective Mind and Imagination. Boktau IV, October 1,

"In the old days, really old
days, leaders of continents, nations, and principalities taught
people how to think. To help them along, they used to put an herb
called rauwolfia in the community water well. In other words,
quietly they endeavored to put the herb equivalent of Prozac in the
village water well. The reason they did that was because leaders of
peoples a long, long time ago had a very different responsibility
than the famed and fortunate ones of today. They had the exquisite
duty of reinstating confidence, protection, and equalness within the
people, and rauwolfia was a wonderful drug in water that relieved
people's insecurity."

Documented
Healing Experience at Blue College Retreat 2006
Email sent by Sue
Rakes to RSE on March 17, 2006:
I'm too excited to wait until I get
home. Here's the story:
I originally had gone to the doctor
to see if I qualified for in vitro and get a referral. In that process I
was found to be quite anemic right before the Blue College Retreat this
year. My hematocrit was about 29. The doctor described me as someone who
had donated five pints of blood. Did I notice anything?! I was off to a
hematologist to figure out why I was anemic.
These types of doctors also tend to
be oncologists, so I wasn't looking forward to this visit. It turns out I
couldn't get in until after the RSE Retreat. Of course with everything we
were learning, I was walking as vital health and that I had a body full of
healthy, iron-rich, oxygenated blood. "I have never been anemic. I have
always had a body full of rich, beautiful blood and, furthermore, I have
always been a leader to my own body."
I found two cards that event. The
first one was that I love myself into life, with a blue neuron on it. The
second card was my Blue Body® card. I continued the work when I got home
and went for my appointment on March 3. They took blood and ran all kinds
of tests. My follow-up appointment was today, March 17, and they drew
blood again.
You know what I'm going to say . .
. I'm absolutely NORMAL . . . smack-dab in the middle, not just edging
there — baby, I'm all over it! — both on the March 3 and March 17 blood
tests. Everything looks just GREAT. They can't find anything whatsoever.
I've got the numbers to show it. In four short weeks I went from five
pints down to just a healthy master!
It works, it works, it works! I was
so nervous sitting there today thinking I'd need to have the command of
JZ's mind to take on whatever they were going to tell me, and it would be
up to me. Then with a shake of the head the doctor looks at me and says,
"Well, everything is absolutely normal!"
It is no longer "we can do it" but
"let's do it," that kind of confidence. Wow! This just ROCKS!! Please send
my love to JZ and moving on to pulling down even greater and greater
realities! Yahoo!
All the best, Sue Rakes
