^ ^ ^ Psychopharmacologist + Hypnotherapist + Counsellor

I love Nutritional Psych 'cause there are many puzzles to solve + lots of people who've been shoved into the 'too-hard-basket' (poor ppl)

^ ^ ^ And Patrick, there's a Q/A Inventory from Uni Saskatchewan called the Hoffer-Osmond Diagnostic Test which does checks on Serotonin/Dopamine/Noradrenaline

5 Clinical scales.

Admissable in court - but usually as a companion to a Psych & Temperament Test like the MMPI (Uni Minnesota)

Last week I had to do a report for a guy in Long Bay after he'd been using speed > bashed up his ex-wife.

I don't write reports to get ppl off - just to give the judiciary a sense of clarity thru' diagnosis + conditional prognosis subject to sticking to a treatment regime. That's assuming of course that the treatment regime is correct.

I don't like court wk.

Barristers have a nasty habit of pulling rebuttal witnesses - some of whom believe their own furphys or like the limelight with their own agenda/egos.

so does this HODT and MMPI test cost much? where would i get it done over here? would be fun to do if it wasnt some crazy large amount of money.

ive only been to court for traffic matters but if its anything like that, no cant imagine it would be much fun!!

HOD Test only involves 1/2 hr testing & 1/2 hr scoring/interpretation.

Only consider an MMPI-IV (4-5hrs) if absolutely necessary.

For assessing other brain neurotransmitters, I do a computer test formulated by Dr Henry Osiecki Patrick.

Anyway, can discuss at Wakie. Cheers, T

MDMA probably won't do permanent damage so long as the person doesn't already have a genetic deficiency.

If the person does, then I'm afraid risk of permanent damage is quite high.

The thing I feel is super-tragic:- the person can pass the damage down to his/her offspring. :ermm:

Interesting to hear that from a medical profesional who specialises in the area.

How does this compare to some of the analogs and subsitutes you see people end up taking. ie BZP, TFMPP, 4-MMC, GHB, DXM and plenty of other horrid substances i wonder?

Lots of people have genetic deficiencies & sensitivities these days.

Why? Because their parents often used drugs - but their grandparents didn't.

Testing can differentiate as to whether those deficiencies are mild, moderate or severe.

I don't have to differentiate between GHB, THC, MDMA or Smack or yaddayadda > because if the Testing has good reliability & validity coefficients, I can plan a treatment regime from that common denominator. If the client is able to tell me what drug he/she has used, it only tells me that I should administer Testing and what Test. Besides, when a client has taken a recreational drug, he/she isn't to know if that is what the dealer says it was.

Another tragedy:- In all my years of (-well locum) pharmacy, guess how many times a parent has come into the chemist with their child to ask about the vagaries of taking 'drugs'?

Answer - Once!

Part-reason - I wish more pharmacies had a confidential consult'n area. Chemists need to be more approachable too. Too many chemists just call out patients' names and discuss openly, personal issues. I don't like that.

Another thing I don't like:- Out of all the health care professionals that exist like chemist/chiropractor/hypnotherapist/massage practitioner/bowen therapist/osteopath/acupuncturist/naturopath etc., the only one that does not require to do a senior first aid certificate is the pharmacist! Do you think that's fair?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
