About

Bipolar Disorder and Depression are becoming worldwide epidemics. Ken Jensen, author of the book "It Takes Guts To Be Me: How An Ex-Marine beat Bipolar Disorder" is an ex-Marine Gulf War vet who fought and beat both, as well as numerous addictions. His life has been full of intense experiences, both in and out of the Marines. He has been a patient detained in a lockdown ward, arrested multiple times, and involved in brawls with both civilians and the police. He has even been clinically dead, twice. He has also worked within the mental health care system where he was forced to physically restrain people just like him. He watched dozens rotate endlessly, in and out of the psychiatric-care network, never getting better. Some actually died due to physical health illnesses associated with their mental troubles and some died from suicide. He feared becoming one of these people. Doctors gave him over one hundred prescriptions across a six-year span to help him get well but ultimately, failed to do so. His mind continuously got worse and his physical health soon followed. Because of this stunning lack of progress and an ever-growing fear of a horrible death, he was forced to find help outside traditional sources. He developed his own all-natural system just to survive. It worked fantastically well. Now he shares it with you.
