Book excerpt: Sgt. Eric Weaver (Ret.) lives with mental illness and struggled with the issue of suicide on numerous occasions, including multiple hospitalizations, while serving as a police sergeant, pastor, and training consultant. Now he is a nationally recognized expert, speaker, instructor, and advocate on law enforcement mental health issues, including officer wellness and Crisis Intervention Team training. In Overcoming the Darkness, he gives a raw accounting of his own experiences coupled with knowledge and pragmatic advice gained from 20 years of instructing literally thousands in law enforcement about mental illness, cumulative stress, trauma, substance use, PTSD, and suicide. As he explains: "I wrote this book for my fellow colleagues in all walks of law enforcement, from patrol to corrections, as well as for their loved ones. These are the people who keep our world safe and often pay a high price for fulfilling their duty. We often think of that price in terms of physical loss, but what has been very clear to me over the years is that the price is equally steep, if not even more so, both mentally and emotionally."

This book was written to discuss the things people have always been afraid to talk about. From depression and PTSD to grief and suicide, this book dives headfirst into the taboo nature of mental health and delivers a path forward that few have been able to describe. Now as a Mental Health Coach, Dylan himself is able to reach into a place of human consciousness and deliver reality in a way that clarifies the pain, informs with perspective, and develops a clear sense of purpose in the face of some of the hardest questions life has to offer. Fun Facts: Dylan wrote 90% of Defy the Darkness in the first months of the Covid-19 shutdown while also posting daily on Tik Tok.

This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one needs to die! Overcoming the Darkness of COVID is about two doctors who used a treatment protocol early in the pandemic and early in treatment when the conventional wisdom issued was not to provide any treatment to patients and send them home until they got sick and then go to the hospital where they were then often put on breathing machines - many of whom died. To the contrary, every one of the patients Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed treated early in the illness recovered and there were NO deaths. They also treated those who were severely sick and only lost a few. The treatment protocol they used included pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients and has proven to be highly effective and safe with COVID, especially when caught early. This book is their story complete with testimonials from patients and other doctors, research studies, news clippings, and most of all, the reasons why this successful treatment was held back from the public. Overcoming the Darkness of COVID is a must read for anyone concerned about their health and successfully negotiating the pandemic. Dr. Fareed and Dr. Tyson have been on my radio and TV shows throughout the pandemic doing everything they could to inform the American public about the COVID-19 virus and their treatment protocols which have saved thousands of lives. Sean Hannity, radio and TV host How many more people would be alive today had the medical establishment followed the example of Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed instead of heeding arrogant bureaucrats who recommended no treatment for COVID-19 until it was often too late? Senator Ron Johnson, Wisconsin In Imperial County, CA, a hotspot for COVID in the US based on per capita COVID cases and deaths, our Church members took the protocol Dr. Fareed and Dr. Tyson recommended with amazing results- ZERO deaths!
