(PRWEB) October 23, 2006 -- Do you remember your childhood? Can you remember your first sip of cola or first bite of chocolate? How did you spend your paper route money? Did your first date buy you chocolate ice cream or cola? Those are questions you may want to ask yourself because sometimes it takes one person's bad experience for other people to learn something, and Ruth Whalen, a writer and medical technologist, recovered from a 24-year-course of caffeine psychosis and medical misdiagnoses, is educating people about the dangers of caffeine.
The author of "Welcome to the Dance: Caffeine Allergy, A Masked Cerebral Allergy and Progressive Toxic Dementia" (ISBN: 1-4120-5000-6), the first book detailing the true chemical imbalances of caffeine poisoning, caffeine allergy, and mental illness, with the foreword written by A. Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., FRCP (C), President, International Schizophrenia Foundation, Ruth states about caffeine's ill effects, "as the altered self deteriorates in its progressive physical and mental frenzy, individuals race from doctor to doctor, therapist to psychiatrist, from the emergency room to the pharmacy, saying, 'Why?' and 'There’s no mental illness in my family.' 'I can’t live like this… Help me!' And people go home and take prescription drugs — with the very substance that caused their physical and mental demise — and they never recover..." (From "Through the Gates of Hell: Stories of Caffeine Psychosis." Copyright © 2006 Ruth Whalen. http://www.throughthegatesofhell.com/thruthegatesintro.htm.)
Miss Whalen recently published "Through the Gates of Hell: Stories of Caffeine Psychosis"( http://www.lulu.com/content/444295). Released before Halloween and the winter holidays, when depression, anger, and suicide commonly increase — and ingestion of caffeine, a legal psychoactive drug, increases — "Through the Gates of Hell: Stories of Caffeine Psychosis" is a collection of 27 dark stories about the dangers of caffeine. The matter-of-fact, easy to comprehend fiction book entertains, indirectly teaching the public about caffeine's ability to cause mental illness and abnormal behavior, including obsession, violence, attention deficits, suicide and more. The book also tells why a SSRI drug should never be taken with caffeine. Professional photographer and urban explorer, recently featured on the Hallmark Channel’s “A New Morning,” Mike Dijital designed the book cover. Mike is known for his artistic talent.
