Today Show's sleep expert Elizabeth Shannon controversially explores the lies you are told by your doctor, psychiatrist and do-gooders. With 1 in 6 Australians taking antidepressants, over 35 million psycho scripts written annually and 95.2 percent of insomnia patients being prescribed medications, the days of "asking your doctor" are over. The drugs are not evidence-based, doubling the suicide rate in children, injuring babies and more. In April 2017 GlaxoSmithKline was ordered to pay $ 3 million after the suicide death of Stewart Dolin who was taking antidepressants. No longer the lucky country, we're the nutty country. Buy this Book. Wake Up. Save a Life. Health Care and Social Assistance is now Australia's largest employing industry. Is that a good thing? Lack of sleep effects your heart, weight, blood pressure, immune system - there are even connections to cancer. Are your increased bad moods, anxieties and stresses destroying your relationships and eroding your resilience? How long are you prepared to endure feeling awful, making mistakes at work and your increased risk of car accidents? The drugs you are prescribed are not the answer. They address the symptom not the cause, and they can be the start of the escalation of your problems. FAST RESULTS: Imagine if you could...
  • Sleep deeper and more effectively so that you can perform at your best at work, making less mistakes and concentrating effectively,
  • Be confident that your lack of sleep will not be adversely increasing your weight and probability of chronic health conditions,
  • Discover the secrets to better sleep. Get back to your positive, enthusiastic self again.
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND, OR CONTINUE TO HAVE THE INDUSTRY DICTATE TO YOU?
  • Understand "evidence based medicine". Don't get pushed into strategies that will adversely effect your physical and mental health by so-called-experts. (It's easier than you think.)
  • Learn what world leading organizations and people recommend for sleep and mental health: prepared to be shocked.
  • Why aren't you being told about the raft of dangerous side-effects of sleeping pills and anti-depressants/SSRIs?
  • Protect your children from taking the medicated route that is causing significant problems, even increased suicide rates.
  • Empower your health care decisions beyond sleep and mental health when you understand the problems that are entrenched in our flawed health system.
Easy to read, no jargon, even a few caustic cartoons! Natural solutions are evidence based. Implement quick and easy solutions today.

Product description

About the Author

Elizabeth Shannon is a sleep evangelist, researcher, educator, and outlying industry expert. She was introduced to brain wave technologies and meditation in 1978 at pioneering personal development seminars. This interest continued outside of her professional work at KPMG, Kellogg's and the NAB - as peak performance was not discussed in workplaces at the time. Her Compatibility Blanket(TM) bedding invention, which solves the nightly battle of the bedclothes for hot and cold bed partners, saw a return to sleep research in 2000. She hosted the 9 week "Sleep with the Experts" webinar series in 2009 which was attended by insomniacs and health care professionals from all 5 continents, and lead to the "Sleep Mojo" book, which has been updated and incorporated into "Alarming Sleep Secrets". Shannon is a regular on the Today Show, featured on 9am with David and Kim, Radio KPCC Southern California, 2UE, 3AW, 4BC, 6PR, ABC, the Sydney Morning Herald, Herald-Sun, The Age, the Sunday Telegraph, HC Online and numerous publications. Robert Whitaker's exceptional book "Anatomy of an Epidemic" deeply disturbed Elizabeth knowing the connection between lack of sleep and mental health problems, and the inadequacies of treatments. Peter Gøtzsche's 2015 presentation "Mental Health: Overdiagnosed and Overmedicated" in Sydney cemented Shannon's resolve to write another book, in straight forward language, to highlight the gap between what is being sold as "evidence-based-medicine" and the enormous harms being done. She makes no apology for not being a medical doctor or professor. "Alarming Sleep Secrets" highlights mismanagement, malpractice, conflicts of interest, professional negligence and corporate and government duty of care breaches. 'Qualified experts' created, represent, organize and actively support this fundamentally broken system that is costing many lives, and the lives of children. Clearly an independent review is what's needed, starting with a Royal Commission. An economics graduate from the University of Sydney, her interdisciplinary experience includes KPMG, NAB, DEC, Kellogg's, Network Ten, personal development, real estate, agriculture, horticulture, creative arts and not-for-profits. She has a son and lives in Sydney. Her next mission is a funny documentary.

She was introduced to brain wave technologies and meditation in 1978 at pioneering personal development seminars. This interest continued outside of her professional work at KPMG, Kellogg’s and the NAB – as peak performance was not discussed in workplaces at the time.

After marrying a grazier and moving to a remote sheep property, her Compatibility Blanket™ bedding invention in 2000 saw a return to sleep research.

Her "Sleep with the Experts" webinar program in 2009 was attended by insomniacs and health care professionals from all 5 continents, and lead to the "Sleep Mojo" book, which has been updated and incorporated into "Alarming Sleep Secrets".

"Alarming Sleep Secrets" highlights mismanagement, malpractice, conflicts of interest, professional negligence and corporate and government duty of care breaches. Qualified experts created, represent, organize and actively support this fundamentally broken system that is costing many lives, and the lives of children.

Noisy, funny, pragmatic, even caustic, she's guaranteed to wake you up about sleep and mental health issues.
