The Road Back Basics

“When I first read your website, I thought no way.  This is too simple.  Barley? Give me a break.  I figured I really didn’t have anything to lose, I felt like crap warmed over anyway.  Two weeks later and I mean two weeks later, I am a new man!  The fog has cleared, the depression is gone, and my wife has a husband again.  Barley, who would have thought?  Needless to say, I was not surprised when the Omega 3 and Body Calm did exactly what you said they would.  Thank you from the bottom of my big Texas heart.”

People from all over the world send in testimonials like this every day, praising The Road Back Program and how it has helped them regain their hold on life. Often, as this man said, the program at first seems too simple. When something is simple, there could be a tendency to disbelieve results. Nevertheless, the Road Back Program IS simple, while also highly effective when followed using the correct supplements, and completing all steps.

The Road Back Program is a very specific, heavily researched, proven program. As noted above, I formulated this program to help people get off all kinds of drugs, while reducing to almost zero the crippling side effects often associated with coming off the drugs.

Newly formulated psychiatric medications seem to incessantly roll out of research labs into distribution. But I have found over the years that no matter what the drug’s formulation, The Road Back Program is still effective. Since you are reading this book you most likely understand, firsthand, the devastating side effects of psychiatric medications. As of today, tens of thousands of people over the world have used The Road Back Program to free themselves from those crippling bonds.

Which Side Effects Are You Suffering From?

Due to the widely varying circumstances of the many people who will read this book, I have outlined several scenarios delineating where you might now stand, and how The Road Back Program will apply to you. Establishing your current particular circumstances will be of great benefit and provide a starting point for your progress on The Road Back Program.

Scenario One:

You are not on any psychiatric medications, and never have been, but are thinking about taking these medications:

 

Debate and statistics hit the news nearly every day about the effectiveness or potential harm caused by psychiatric drugs. The confusions tend to mount further when the latest clinical trial results counters the evidence published just last month.

 

I am not about to enter the fray of the psychiatric drug debate with this book. The intent here is to offer hope and solutions for those desiring to safely taper off psychiatric medication as well as offer a few solutions to those seeking an alternative to psychiatric medication.

 

If you are looking for a solution rather than taking a psychiatric drug, this book offers nutritional answers and a simple blood test that may provide the better way you are seeking. That word “may,” should be capitalized, italicized, underlined, put in bold type and double-sized.

 

Certainly, while nutrition is not the answer for all of the ills that might beset our lives, neither is a drug the answer.

 

If your symptoms are caused or perpetuated by deficiencies in a specific or broad range of vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes, protein, etc, then this part of the program will probably be the answer for you.

Scenario Two:

You are on one or more psychiatric medications and want to withdraw from these drugs:

 

You are a prime candidate for The Road Back Program. You may or may not be experiencing side effects from your medications. You may or may not have tried to taper before. You may have been on your medications for a few days or many years.

 

You will find tremendous benefit and success with The Road Back Program.

Scenario Three:

You have started to taper off and are suffering:

 

Dr. Donald E. McAlpine, Psychiatry and Psychology, Mayo Clinic notes: "It's important to taper off slowly, extending the taper over several weeks under your physician's direction. When you stop too quickly, you may experience so-called discontinuation symptoms, which can masquerade as relapse."

 

The Road Back Program has been designed to help you get back on track and succeed with the tapering process. This can take a little more time initially, but there IS a way back.

Scenario Four:

You have already tapered off your medications and are still suffering, or stopped medication “cold turkey”:

 

Due to the nature and composition of psychiatric medications and their effects on the body, withdrawal side effects can plague you long after complete withdrawal. Such “protracted” or continuing withdrawal side effects are probably the most difficult situation to deal with. The Road Back Program can be effective and successful in eliminating these side effects from your life.

 

Stopping your medication “cold turkey” or tapering off too quickly cause many of the same side effects, and often to the same magnitude. This situation usually requires the longest road back, but can be accomplished. Many people start to feel better one week into the program and reach a major positive change by the fourteenth day of the program.

Scenario Five:

You have all four of the points listed below:

 

In the past, The Road Back could not help a person who fit the following four points. Today we have a program for you as well.

 

These four points are:

  1. You are sensitive to all supplements and most foods.

  2. You came off your medications and suffered extreme withdrawal symptoms.

  3. You are still experiencing “protracted” withdrawals, even though off your medications.

  4. You have been off your medications for at least six months.

 Continue reading the book to Chapter 6 to understand the basics of the program. Then purchase the needed supplements. The supplements mentioned in this book are available at TRB Health .

 

I urge you to not give up hope. This program will get you fully recovered from the medication.
