"OVERCOMING ADDICTION!" with Dr. Donna Marks
Dr. Marks specializes in working with individuals who have been unable to break unwanted patterns of behavior by working through the internal obstructions that stand in the way of achieving one’s life goals. She believes that the combined methods of psychoanalysis and spirituality are a powerful method to not only heal the past and find freedom, but to also obtain meaning from all of those life events—the essential requirements for lasting change and a promising future.
From her article:
When writing, Exit the Maze – One Addiction, One Cause, One Cure, I discovered something so stunning, I could hardly believe my eyes.
Statistics from the World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control, National Institute for Health, and others, revealed the facts I’d always suspected, but never knew for sure. For years, we’ve been hearing that the three major causes of death are heart disease, cancer, and accidents, followed by lung disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Pneumonia, Nephritis, and suicide. But, unfortunately, we’ve been hoodwinked into a big illusion, and now I’ll explain why.
While it’s true that heart disease is the number one cause of death, what isn’t emphasized is the actual causes of heart disease.
And poor diet, smoking, lack of physical activity, caused by ingesting excessive amounts of sugar and fast foods, and toxic substances, which causes the symptoms; clogged arteries, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., are what cause the deadly illnesses. In other words, people are eating, drinking, smoking, and ingesting chemicals and foods to the extent that they are fueling their own heart disease without any conscious awareness!!!
But let’s not stop there, let’s keep going down the list. Cancer, lung and respiratory failure, Diabetes II, stroke, kidney failure — the research is the same: food, smoking, and substances, and lack of activity are the major causes. Accidents – many due to impairment or addictive texting. Suicide: substance abusers are at the highest risk.
Are you getting the picture? An addiction is anything that a person keeps doing in spite of negative consequences. Almost all illnesses are caused by a behavior that continues in spite of negative consequences (an addiction). And, ALMOST EVERYONE who is ill or dies from these top major illnesses, doesn’t even realize that addiction is what caused their deadly disease.
The time has come for us to Exit the Maze of denial and embrace the freedom of truth. Blame serves no purpose, but we can join together and save lives. Now is the time for freedom and the happiness and good health that we were born to have.

How Can I Keep My Baby Home? Twitter/X Space
Sunday Morning Live Twitter Space 6 July 2025
In this episode, I address the concerns around declining birth rates and their societal implications, emphasizing the need to focus on personal choices regarding family. I debunk the divorce statistic myth, advising men on how to reduce their risk through careful partner selection and conflict resolution strategies. We explore the importance of risk assessment in relationships, the impact of societal narratives on women, and the benefits of marriage for men’s mental health and financial success. Ultimately, I encourage listeners to critically evaluate their choices and engage in meaningful conversations about relationships and personal responsibility.

I heard it mentioned on a recent stream that Stef was looking for comments from women about postpartum depression. I’ve been hopscotching around on all the latest videos, so I might be very late to this party, but I did want to put in my two cents about what I think postpartum depression is. I’ve heard Stef theorize before that after a woman has a baby she reexperiences what it was like to be neglected and abused as an infant, and that is what triggers the symptoms of postpartum depression. But I have another perspective based on my own experiences. To be clear, I was never officially diagnosed by a therapist as having postpartum depression, but my infant’s pediatrician recommended that I see a counselor after the first few baby health checks, and years later after my second child when I did seek counseling, the therapist said that she believed I had had postpartum depression based on my description of my experience. So for me, I think postpartum depression is the despair a woman ...
Sorry but X/twitter I do not use for these things. I chose locals and that is where I spend my money. Not on a platform that not 3 months ago banned my 2nd account.
In no way can that be called a free speech platform.
