The holocaust is alive and well in the nursing homes. No guns, no gas. Only Crohns Disease produced by the use of anti-depressants and the mind connection. Deadly combination for the resident not on an anti-depressant.

Plonk... in all good humor. ;-)
news.chi.sbcglobal.net - 11 Jul 2008 21:31 GMT Bud, I expect all comments and you are welcome to put me on any list you have. I hope no one has crohns, but it is becoming a plague. Gail

Anti-depressants were never mentioned.

And as someone who lost most of her family in the Shoah/Holocaust, I am incredibly offended by your casual use of the Nazi greeting and analogy. Plonk.

I only wished to bring my message on strongly as I have a loved one in a nursing home and her condition is terrible, causing me untold anxiety. The administrator (owner ) of the home is exasperated with me as I keep at the anti-depressant subject. About the holocaust, there is one woman there who survived the holocaust, and is in the same nursing home and she used to stand in the small lobby (only 40 people in the home) and complain constantly about her stomach being swollen and not feeling well and not being able to eat much. She was very visual to everyone. I thought she was a kvetch, until one day I realized she really does not feel well, and I didn't think she deserves to suffer in the home after being in the holocaust. Well, she finally got to a bad stage, and now she lays in bed constantly with tubes in her. The crohns affected her legs and she couldn't walk. The administrator had the nerve to say, I think_________ is resigned to dying. I did not expect her to die if only she would get away from all the attention she received. But she never understood when I said don't talk to everyone. But the point is how dare the orthodox owner say she is ready to expire, when she has it in her hands to let her be well. Another comment by the administrator "Everybody has to die sometime" Don't we all know that, but not by her hands, but by G-d/s Sorry to be so talkative and blunt, but m heart is aching for the people that must be in the nursing home. That can be any of us so I feel it important that the homes ban all the anti-depressants. They are an elective med, and if no one is on them, no one will need them. They have a psychologist there talking to the people, who needs a psychologist himself. Forgive me, please Gail

Although the exact cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown, autoimmune and genetic factors are thought to play a role. Up to 5% of those with the disease have one or more affected relatives; Jewish ancestry is also a risk factor (its 2-3 times more common amongst people with Jewish heritage, and very rare among people with African heritage). In terms of age, Crohn’s disease is most prevalent in adults ages 20 to 40 - NOT in the nursing home crowd, you will note.

news.chi.sbcglobal.net - 12 Jul 2008 00:35 GMT I think you are wrong on the statistics But the cause is as I stated. Not genetic, etc. Maybe it seems like more Jewish people have it, but that is because their friends or relatives are often on an anti-depressant, so they inherit Crohns. Any age is susceptible. Indians (from India) seems (as far as I know) to be unlikely to have Crohns. They do not use drugs barely. Not marijuana, which I read grows freely in India, but nobody bothers with it. I do not know how much into anti-depressants people of African heritage are. I am 100% certain of my theory, as I have seen it often and experience it. I can give a world example, but I do not feel free to do so. Gail

I'm using google to post these days and there is no way to plonk the crackpots or nutters. I am just learning to develop a thicker skin.... but the killfile worked lots better :-)

I do not enjoy writing about crohns neither, but it is a subject that needs to be known. I would be happy if G-d would revoke the harm of anti-depressants. In the meantime, I pray that G-d would command the administrators of the nursing homes to return from their ininquity. They are killing people needlessly. Will I ever be successful. I doubt it. Anyway, just ignore me. I understand the dfficulty in reading such an unpleasant post, but I am experiencing it, It is not to make anyone feel guilty, as I have done much worse when I didn't know better. Gail
