Lindsay the AlchemistSynopsis: Lindsay is an abscess human laying within a margin only few of us would understand and she is changing. It is this change and the threat she feels it presents that catalyzes her decision of self-imprisonment. Equipped with only the bare essentials for survival and a camera to record the artifact of her struggle, which becomes a literal video diary of her battle with something larger and potentially greater than herself. Movies are regarded in the sequence of Mythology, Stories and Drama, as expressions of often obscure fantasies in the people among whom they are produced and diffused. -Martha Wolfenstein and Nathan Leites. From Movies: A Psychological Study . Lindsay the Alchemist is a 20 Minute exploration of a disease. Developed through a combination of medical, theoretical and heuristic research. With a lot of attention placed on the character and themes of isolation. The medical research was organized around symptoms of Schizophrenia. The symptoms and disease pattern the films narrative, as a kind of fictionalized case study is transposed into film. The sole character (Lindsay) is designed without application of our most common assumptions of gender, mental illness, sexual orientation and ethnicity. The ambition of this being to disseminate a compelling character story without perpetuating and condoning the misrepresentation of abject people through the continued marginalization and defamation of the individuals circumstance. Lindsay, is an undifferentiated Schizophrenic, this is the foundation for every movement throughout the film. Each scene constructed around how the character reinforces the Schizophrenic's primary conflict (the core delusion or hallucination in which the Schizophrenic combats), with dialogue and incident contextualized through the variety of symptoms of Schizophrenia (i.e. disorganized thought, speech and behaviour; Alogia, avolition and social dysfunction).

(November 16, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Orlando - According to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association, heart disease patients find their risk of heart attack, stroke and death drastically reduced if they practice transcendental meditation. For nine years, researchers studied over 200 adult men and women suffering from heart disease, randomly assigning one group to practice transcendental meditation and the other to take part in a dietary modification and exercise program. They found that patients who practiced transcendental meditation had a 47% lower rate of heart attacks, stokes and death when compared to the other group. From Toronto - According to research published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice, a recent international study of schizophrenia has revealed interesting similarities of the condition regardless of region, economy and culture. Studying over 17,000 schizophrenic patients in 37 different countries, researchers found the following: only 19% of patients were in paid employment; 62% reported sexual dysfunction; nearly 70% lived in dependent housing; and 74% were taking additional prescribed drugs along with their antipsychotic medication. And finally, back to Orlando - Patients with heart failure and a normal left ventricular ejection fraction may find their heart rate has an impaired response to exercise, according to another report presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association. Researchers studied over 80 patients, comparing those who had heart failure and preserved LVEF and with a control group of healthy patients. Those with heart failure had lower peak heart rate response as well as lower change in heart rate during exercise when compared to the healthy group.

(October 23, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Philadelphia According to research presented at the American College of Rheumatology meeting, patients with lupus who suffer depression are at an even greater risk for cardiovascular disease. Researchers studied over 150 women with lupus and who had no prior history of cardiac problems. Results showed that lupus patients with meaningful symptoms of depression were nearly 4 times more likely to suffer atherosclerosis. From Montreal According to research presented at the International Diabetes Federation World Congress of Diabetes, having both diabetes and schizophrenia increases ones likelihood of suffering a cardiovascular event. Researchers studied the health records of over 125,000 diabetic patients, 2,952 of whom had both diabetes and schizophrenia. They found that patients with both conditions were at a 20% increased risk of heart disease, and also, 49% less likely to have revascularization to treat the cardiovascular event. And finally, from Sweden Even low alcohol consumption may be bad for ones general health, according to a report published in the journal Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation. Researchers analyzed the amount of medical care costs and events that were alcohol related, using information from the 2002 Swedish Social Cost of Alcohol Project. They found that men who drank at most 5 units of alcohol a day, and women who drank 2.5 units a day, were responsible for more health service costs than people who did not drink alcohol.
