Five Dead In O-Hi-O

The death tally from a National Guard reaction to protesting students at Kent State University during the Vietnam War was four -- a number immortalized in the chorus of a Crosby, Stills and Nash that says, "Four dead in O-hi-o." That was a tragedy. But this week another example of that new phenomenon, the school shooter, took out not four, but five -- including his grandparents, his mother and two friends. Some of them were killed in their sleep, according to the news.

The news reports that there is a "mystery" as to why he did it, but we know the answer. The evidence hasn't appeared in the news yet, but it will. He was, in our opinion, on psychiatric drugs. That is almost always the case when these unexplainable incidents occur.

Anybody want to start a pool on how long it will be before the news comes out?

Speech By Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer

The following is excerpted from a speech made by Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer at a protest rally outside the annual convention of the American Psychiatric Association in Atlanta:

"Parental rights must be protected. Parental notification regarding children must be made a priority whether it is about clubs and organizations at school, abortion, surveys for children to answer, or health issues. Children belong to parents. Parents are responsible to make decisions regarding their children.

"Children and families are under dangerous assault today! Parents are coerced to put their children on psychotropic medications and children are dying from it.

"In the United States alone, 8 million children and adolescents are on mind altering drugs that put them at risk of violent and suicidal side effects, all while being told it is for your good. Behavior programs such as outcome based education, values clarification, mastery learning, psychological and psychiatric questionnaires, and self esteem are nothing more than a psychologically controlled environment to induce certain beliefs or politically correct thinking."

For Illegally Selling Anti-Depressants, They Made Him Take Anti-Depressants

In the St. Petersburg Times in Florida, the story is out about 52-year-old Kent Hamilton.

Hamilton was selling Xanax illegally, on the street. Xanax is a psych drug, in the same class with other anti-depressants such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox etc. This killer group of drugs poses innocently as a tool for psychiatrists to help people who are crazy. The truth is this class of drugs makes people crazy.

So they packed Hamilton off to jail for illegally selling psych drugs. But somehow, Hamilton got put onto psych drugs himself! When he got out of jail he was a real lulu. He was still on probation when he tried to stop taking his psych drugs. It is well known that withdrawal from these drugs is extremely difficult. Some people say it is more difficult than withdrawing from heroin. One only has to look up the chat/support sites for victims of these drugs to see the sordid world these people live in when they're trying to get off these drugs.

Next thing he's wandering around the neighborhood barefoot, dressed in his wife's pants, as his house is burning. Then they figured out that he (allegedly) set it on fire. Now he's up for arson, and the wife is off living with relatives. Their house burned to the ground.

Normally we feel a lot of compassion for people who are driven crazy by psych drugs. But in this case...

More On Psychiatric Misconduct from Phillip Day

More material exerpted from Phillip Day's excellent book The Mind Game:

WHEN IS A RAPE NOT A RAPE?
Psychiatry is naturally aware of the widespread sexual misconduct of its practitioners, but understandably fights shy of admitting rape. The term used to describe sexual intimacy between a psychiatrist and patient is the morally neutral 'psychiatrist-patient sexual contact'. Bruce Wiseman comments: "Like other 'non-judgmental' and 'values neutral' phrasing that psychiatry seems to enjoy, 'psychiatrist-patient contact' says nothing of the damage this activity inflicts or even whether it is good or bad…. Should we be surprised to find such a closet full of sexual abuse in this profession?

Perhaps not…. [Psychiatrists] have long preached the foolishness and stressfulness of morality. Their primary philosophy is that they are mere bodies ruled by biochemistry and, therefore, like all other humans, who are rife with irresistible impulses and diminished capacities, there are times when they cannot help themselves. The majority of the profession are atheists and agnostics, thus have no religious standards to answer to."

As we have seen, key leaders and 'founding fathers' of psychiatry have consistently preached sexual promiscuity and carnal relations with their patients, in brazen defiance of the Hippocratic Oath. Doctors who take the Oath swear that: "Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both male and female persons, be they free or slaves."

Yet many patients, as will soon become evident, walked into their therapist's office free, but became slaves and thus victims to the carnal and criminal depravations of the errant philosophies of psychiatry. And the example was set right at the top. In 1990, US News and World Report told the world: "many practitioners, among them some of Freud's disciples - even married former patients or conducted lengthy affairs with them in full public view."

In March 1988 an Australian behavioural science student named James Spencer sexually assaulted and penetrated a seven-year-old girl. He filmed the act on video. When brought to court, Spencer claimed that he had been conducting 'psychological research'. Dr Neville Yeomans, a Sydney psychiatrist, defended Spencer's actions by stating that child rape was perfectly permissible in certain psychiatric situations, and filming the experiment was proof that Spencer only had the interests of his science in mind. Besides, Dr Yeomans reasonably pointed out, the child appeared to be enjoying it. The judge didn't agree. Spencer was jailed for five years.

Child psychiatrist Dr Wuld Aschoff, former head of Germany's Albert-Schweitzer clinic, was charged in 1999 with photographing and videoing naked children and playing with their genitals. In police interviews, Aschoff claimed his therapy "helped his patients to get a more intense feeling for their body". Two days before his criminal trial, the German psychiatrist committed suicide.

James Tyhurst, a Canadian psychiatrist, was charged with sexual assaults on four of his female patients, who told the court Tyhurst had insisted they enter into slave/master relationships as part of the therapy. Tyhurst was a professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia. He denied whipping, beating and having sexual intercourse with the four women. He was sent to prison for four years.

In April 1988, Louis J Poetter pleaded guilt to 19 counts of sodomising young boys. As founder and director of the Anneewakee psychiatric centre for adolescents at Douglasville, Georgia, Poetter had encouraged sex between staff and children as 'good for the boys'. The settlement to resolve the eight lawsuits was a massive $35 million, believed to be the biggest in Georgia's history. Louis Potter went to prison for eight years.

A few cases from the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) investigations reveal that the abuse is constant and taking place at all levels of the psychiatric ladder:

In 1989, Dr Paul A Walters, psychiatrist in charge of student health at Stanford University, Massachusetts, and former head of Harvard University's Health Services' mental health Division, was forced to resign after allegations that he had 'frequent sex' with a female patient. The patient, who had been the victim of sexual abuse as a child, was awarded more than $200,000 in an out-of-court settlement. She said Walters had used her to perform oral sex on him 'sometimes as often as two out of three psychiatric analysis sessions per week'.

In 1990, Robert Ferguson, a psychologist, pleaded guilty to state child sex-abuse charges and federal charges of transporting child pornography.

In 1975, A New York Jury convicted psychiatrist Renatus Hartogs of malpractice, awarding $350,000 in damages to Julie Roy, a secretary at Esquire magazine whom Hartogs had seduced while she was his patient.

Early in 1992, John Hamilton, deputy medical director of the APA, stepped down from office and had his license suspended for only a year, after having sexual relations with a patient who, in turn, filed a complaint. Ironically Hamilton wrote and edited the APA peer review manual.

In 1991, Orange County, California, psychiatrist James Harrington White was charged with and convicted of the forced sodomy of a male patient. White was also found to have drugged young men, then videotaped himself having sex with them. The psychiatrist was also alleged to have sodomised his adopted son for years, drugged him, forced him to dress as a female, and to have given him hormones to make him look feminine. To guarantee the boy's co-operation and silence, the court heard how the doctor is said to have administered sodium pentothal and electroshock with hypnosis. Even when the young man finally left home and married, his psychiatrist 'father' continued the sexual abuse, ultimately castrating the young man when he discovered the man's wife was pregnant. James Harrington White was sent to prison for seven years.

In the US, Lisa Roth underwent 'therapy' at Jefferson County Mental Health Center for depression and alcoholism. Her 'treatment' involved sleeping with her female therapist. The therapist, Lynda Robinson, also invited Roth to sleep with her husband. During a 1994 civil suit by Roth seeking damages for this unorthodox 'treatment', Robinson's defence attorney stated that the therapist couldn't remember anything about the psychotherapy she had given Roth or any bedroom incidents because her silicone breast implants had leaked, causing toxicity in her brain and, conveniently, memory loss.

COWED INTO SILENCE
Many ask why the abused patients themselves don't go to the medical authorities or the police. Kenneth Pope and Jacqueline Bouhoutsos are two psychologists who have studied therapist/patient sexual interaction extensively. They have constructed a hypothetical model, based on the experiences and accounts of victims, of common circumstances that lead to psychiatric rape and the silencing of the victim:

"Karen is a 14-year-old victim of incest. Dr Louis, a hypnotherapist, is treating her for the incest trauma. He makes her lie on the couch and attempts to put her in a deep trance. She is so nervous that she is unable to concentrate on what he is saying. She does not trust him, does not want to be seeing him, and lies on the couch, her face covered by her hands, crying.

He says that it looks like she needs reassurance, and he lies down next to her. He tells her she has nothing to be afraid of, that he will protect her and comfort her. He presses himself against her and, before she can scream, puts his hand over her mouth. He holds her so that she can neither cry nor move. He rapes her.

When he is finished, he tells her it never happened, that she is crazy and imagined the whole thing. He tells her that if she tries to tell anyone, that no one will believe her. Everyone will believe that she is psychotic and needs to be put away in a hospital. If she tries to tell anyone, they will know that she was just making up stories about the incest, so they will either return her to her father or put her in jail. No matter where they put her, he will still be in charge of her treatment and they will always believe a famous hypnotherapist rather than a hysterical little girl who is always making up fantastic stories that show what a dirty mind she has.

He may even tell the authorities that she tried to seduce him and told him that she had made up the stories about the incest because she had been unable to seduce her father. He told her that if she tried to tell anyone what she had imagined had happened, that he would prescribe drugs that would make her a vegetable and might even operate on her brain. If he felt like it, he might arrange for her to die. As she got dressed to leave, he slapped her to stop her from crying. He told her not to be late for their next appointment."

WHERE ARE THE THOUGHT POLICE?
That charges of psychiatric rape should be glossed over by the American Psychiatric Association, or attempts made to trivialise the charges, is not so surprising, given the explosion in class action lawsuits and a commensurate rise in malpractice insurance that would inevitably result. Once again, the APA, and hence world psychiatry find themselves in the dock with an image problem. Why aren't psychiatric chiefs clamping down on the rank and file? Researcher Kenneth Pope offers one explanation. His 1988 American study discovered that a higher incidence of sexual abuse existed among prominent doctors in psychiatry - tenured professors and chairmen of ethics committees - than among the rank and file.

But some do speak out, and the extent of the problem has proven a monumental embarrassment and further tarnished the already tattered reputation of psychiatry. Psychiatrist Nanette Gartrell, a member of the APA Committee on Women, reports that increasing numbers of class action and malpractice suits are being filed as the wall of silence comes down: "It became clear that this was a problem which potentially was affecting large numbers of women patients throughout the country and undoubtedly larger numbers than we were even hearing about."

Psychiatry was still dismally failing to police itself in this area six years later. APA president Lawrence Hartmann told the Association in 1992: "For posterity's sake, I would like to record that perhaps never in the history of the American Psychiatric Association has an APA president been called upon to spend so much of his time considering psychiatrist-patient sexual contact as this year."

CCHR reports: "A Los Angeles survey showed that 10% of male psychiatrists engaged in sexual contact with their patients. In a nationwide survey reported in a 1986 article published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, 7.1% of the male psychiatrists and 3.1% of the female - over 6% of the respondents overall - acknowledged having what is euphemistically called 'sexual contact' with their patients. Yet 65 percent of psychiatrists questioned said they had treated patients who were sexually involved with previous therapists. Only 8 percent reported the misconduct, which might serve further to illustrate how much responsibility is assumed by the profession's members in policing themselves.

Be that as it may, this casts a suspicious light on that 10 percent figure. In fact, in a 1990 US News & World Report article, experts put the sexual shenanigans at more like 25 percent, or one out of every four psychiatrists. And a 1973 California study claims the figure is an astronomical 51 percent."

HANDS IN THE TILL
But what are we to make of 'doctors' who believe they can get away with raping or sexually assaulting their patients, and then billing their time to their victims' insurance companies as 'therapy' services?

Dr Paul A Walters, a Riverside, California psychiatrist, was charged with 16 counts of 'inappropriate sexual activity', grand theft, fraud and prescribing drugs for no legitimate medical purposes. Lowinger billed medical insurance giant Medi-Cal for 'therapy' consisting almost entirely of having sex with his patients. The case was settled in August 1994 when a payment of $7.1 million was made to the plaintiff, ex-patient, Francine Rahn.

A New Zealand group of psychotherapists, headed up by psychiatrist Bill Rowntree and psychiatric nurse Bert Potter, was investigated by authorities for sexually abusing children in its care as 'therapy'. This service to the community was charged out at inflated rates. Potter presided over one incident involving a three-year-old girl performing oral sex on men, who was later given the drug Ecstasy as part of her treatment. Potter was also charged with having sex with an adolescent in his care to remove an 'emotional block' to her personality. Potter, in spite of being sent to prison for six years for his crimes, remained unrepentant: "Sexual activity initiated by the child and kept at their level is not harmful." Freud would have been proud.

Even psychiatrists who do not sexually assault their patients have discovered the tremendous cash benefits of 'creative accounting'. One scheme being bilked for all it was worth was the federal Civilian Health and Medical Program in the United States (CHAMPUS). CHAMPUS has been a veritable cash cow for psychiatry. Outraged US Congresswoman Pat Schroeder headed up an investigation into psychiatric fraud that was to have far-reaching implications for the industry. Addressing the House Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, she thundered: "We are here this morning to shed light on, and we hope help to put a stop to, one of the most disgraceful and scandalous episodes in the history of health care in America. I am referring to the unethical and disturbing practices in mental health care that are taking place from coast to coast."

David Mancuso, Assistant Inspector General for Investigations for the Department of Defense (DOD), was the administrative watchdog for CHAMPUS. During the hearings, Mancuso outlined several scams psychiatrists were employing to receive maximum payouts under the health scheme: "Investigations have disclosed a scheme known as 'contract max'. We have found the 'contract max' fraud in psychiatric care as it concerns hospital stays. Patients have actually been kept in the hospital for extended periods because the maximum stay allowed by their insurance had not been reached."

Louis Parisi appeared at the hearings to give testimony. As Director of the Fraud Division of the Department of Insurance for the State of New Jersey, Parisi rolled off a whole litany of schemes he had investigated within private psychiatric institutes. These included:

• Forcefully confining patients, often against their will, in private psychiatric hospitals until their insurance coverage had expired. Once expired, the patients were dumped out on the streets and pronounced 'cured'.
  
• Billing insurance companies for services not performed.
  
• Billing insurance companies for services provided by unlicensed, unqualified personnel, made to look like they had been carried out by doctors.
  
• Billing insurance companies for higher rates than patients without medical coverage.
  
• Billing insurance companies for an endless battery of tests without sound medical reasons to inflate the bill.
  
• Billing insurance companies for an endless supply of potentially harmful, mind-altering drugs which were prescribed to patients without sound medical reasons to inflate the bill.
  
• Organising bonuses for staff within the hospital, where those who kept the highest number of patients in the hospital for the longest period of time (until their benefits ran out) were paid the highest commission on top of their basic salaries.

Mancuso's appraisal was withering: "A situation has developed in this country in the field of medical care where some hospitals and substance abuse centres can achieve a reputation for professionalism and a high level of patient care and that reputation is only a façade. The reputation for professional medical care has been replaced with a reputation for a sure-win moneymaker for the principals involved in the stock ownership and upper management levels of these billion-dollar businesses."

Parisi cited many abuses, including how patients were often released on the very day their benefits expired. "We even discovered situations where the local municipal police were called to a hospital to remove a patient from the facility. The insurance benefits had terminated but the patient had not been successfully treated and did not want to return to a life of substance abuse uncured."

Texas State Senator Mike Moncrief presented his evidence as Chairman for the Texas Senate Interim Committee on Health and Human Services. Moncrief had received a pamphlet in the mail from an anonymous source. The material was entitled 'Books as Hooks'. The handout, commissioned by a national psychiatric health group, described how pamphlets such as these were highly effective, inexpensive marketing tools for increasing psychiatric patient intake. One substance abuse centre director especially was quoted: "We've been using these books for three years.… Families love these books and they do help us fill the hospital."

AIRPORT BLUES
At the time these investigations were being conducted in the United States, the Canadian government was doing its own research into excessive bills charged by US psychiatric hospitals to Canadian insurance companies. Canadian nationals were apparently being lured south of the border for their psychiatric treatment with complementary airfares, limousines and luxury accommodation in treatment programs in California, Florida and Texas.

Bruce Wiseman also investigated the scam uncovered by Moncrief: "It was a goldmine while it lasted. The aggressive marketing resulted in claims from US hospitals for Ontario patients alone increasing from $5.4 million in 1988 to $51.3 million just two years later. In 1990, approximately 2,500 Ontario residents were brought to the US for treatment. One man was referred to as the 'half a million dollar man'. He reportedly received more than 20 months of psychiatric treatment in five different Houston hospitals and returned to Canada a cocaine addict."

Moncrief reported that after the Canadian government moved to crack down on the US fraud, imposing strict limits to the levels of insurance reimbursement to US hospitals, reports were received of dozens of Canadian patients being taken to Houston airport by psychiatric hospitals in the region and dumped with no return tickets.

Moncrief's huge accumulation of psychiatric fraud evidence cited other instances:

· In San Antonio, Texas, 1-800 (free) numbers were publicised as 'suicide hotlines', which in turn referred the caller to a 1-900 (toll) number, "where they make $2.00 a minute off of your call while you're deciding whether to take your own life."
· Dozens of ex-patients provided testimony on how they were miraculously cured and suddenly discharged on the day their insurance benefits ran out.
· Others related how they voluntarily checked into clinics for eating disorders and other troubling ailments and then were incarcerated against their will.
· A bill was submitted for a patient for 36 prescription drugs in one day, including 8,400mg of the anti-depressant Lithobid, almost five times the maximum dose listed in the Physician's Desk Reference, and lethal had it been given to the patient.
· A mother who was persuaded to check into a Texas psychiatric hospital for a few days to be with her daughter, who, a psychiatrist had determined, may have been sexually molested by a family member. Both were covered by the federal CHAMPUS reimbursement scheme. The mother and daughter however were kept apart and only allowed to see each other at mealtimes. When the mother came to check out, testimony later given to the local Chief of Police stated that she had been overpowered by several hospital staff and given an injection. Both mother and daughter were later released after they contacted the local police department, who came to investigate.

MONEY FROM CHILDREN
But by far the most lucrative boost to psychiatry's social and financial fortunes has come from their ability to evolve the education system from one that teaches children the knowledge and skills they need to a system that minutely analyses the child population for evidences of eccentric or abnormal behaviour that may indicate the existence of a 'mental illness' requiring psychiatry's services. So much has been made of these 'childhood problems' in the media that the public has become resigned to accepting that a significant percentage of our kids 'must have something wrong with them'. And so, we defer to the experts. It is an indication of how much blind faith we place in these doyens of the mind sciences, that we allow our children and elderly folk to be medicated with highly addictive, behaviour-altering medications, all the while ignoring the ethical conflicts in the backs of our minds. After all we have learned so far, can we any longer fool ourselves, even for a fleeting instant, that psychiatry has any place in a modern, civilised society?

Phillip Day On Psychiatric Misconduct

The following is an exerpt from The Mind Game by Phillip Day:

Given the all-encompassing expertise on mental health apparently possessed by psychiatry, it would follow that psychiatrists and psychologists should be among the sanest, wisest and most stable of all the population, especially in light of the fact that they are responsible for our 'mental health' and constantly advise the public on what is best for us. It would follow that they would be paragons of mental stability, have great marriages, and set an enduring example to society which would prove that the tenets of psychiatry can stand the tests of pressure and time.

The truth is very different.

PSYCHIATRIST SUICIDES
In America, arguably the nation with the most 'medically developed' approach to mental health, psychiatrists commit suicide twice as often as doctors in general. This figure is five times the rate of the general population. During their residencies, psychiatrists are committing suicide almost nine times as often as the general population to whom they give mental health advice. Psychiatrist deaths are by far the leading suicides in any medical profession, and this suicide rate is quite stable. The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that "…the occurrence of suicides by psychiatrists is constant year-to-year, indicating a relatively stable oversupply of depressed psychiatrists from which the suicides are produced."

Other studies were to confirm this alarming trend: "A joint study carried out by the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association in 1987 confirmed that psychiatrists have the highest suicide rate of any medical profession. Researchers interviewing the surviving families found that by far the most common reason given for the death - in 94% of the cases - was 'to escape from mental pain', which, of course, is the very thing psychiatrists claim they can alleviate. Additionally, 'more than half (56 percent) of those in the suicide group had prescribed a psychoactive drug for themselves.' Forty-two percent had been seeing a mental health professional at the time of their death."

A Swiss study compares the military conscription records of those who later went on to become psychiatrists with those who later became doctors, internists or other medical specialists. Significantly more of the eventual psychiatrists had themselves been declared unfit for military service due to psychiatric disorders.

ALCOHOLISM
When the physician membership of Alcoholics Anonymous in the United States was studied, it was found that 17% were psychiatrists, even though psychiatrists in America make up only 8% of the medical profession. A similar study in 1983, this time reviewing female psychiatrists, discovered that 22.1% of the alcoholic female doctors were psychiatrists, even though they make up only 9.5% of women doctors. Whether male or female, psychiatrists appear to be twice as likely to become alcoholics than doctors from other branches of the medical profession.

GETTING HIGH ON THEIR OWN SUPPLY
Today's problem of drugs, of course, extends throughout society. Most however don't even consider the concept of drug-taking by physicians and psychiatrists. Phil Hammond MD states that substance abuse is often a 'safety valve' for the incredible stresses that build up among healthcare workers. Examining the problem in the UK, the famous British broadcaster reports: "Drinking and drug abuse are clearly coping mechanisms picked up in medical school, but it is impossible to predict which of the many heavy student drinkers will go on to develop a problem. The British Medical Association estimated that up to 13,000 practising UK doctors are addicted to drugs or alcohol. If each makes 2,000 clinical decisions a year, at a conservative estimate, that is 26 million decisions affecting patient care [including prescribing potentially lethal drugs] made by doctors who can't function without alcohol or other drugs."

A 1986 report in the New England Journal of Medicine provides a bleak insight into psychiatry getting high on its own supply. Nearly half the psychiatrists surveyed reported that they were currently taking self-prescribed psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs. The report also stated that "psychiatrists had much higher rates for all types of [psychotropic drug] use at any time (83%)… than did other groups of physicians."

One clinical psychoanalyst's view of his profession? "I question your calling it a myth that therapists are crazy because the fact is that most of them are. If you need any proof, let me tell you that every patient who comes into this office who has had a previous experience with another therapist has some kind of horror story to tell, about some major failing on the therapist's part, including, quite often, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, things that cross the boundary of mere bad technique and come pretty damn close to the criminal."

THE 'IRRESPONSIBLE' MILLIONS
How qualified, in the light of the above studies, are psychiatrists to analyse and 'cure' society's apparent rampant problems of mental illness? Consider that mental health promoter Tipper Gore, the wife of the erstwhile Vice President, is doggedly telling everyone that 28% of the American population is mentally ill because of problems outside of their control. This translates to over 70 million Americans not deemed responsible for their actions, an unsettling belief held by the wife of a one-time presidential hopeful aiming to lead the most powerful nation on Earth. Mrs Gore goes on to state that over a quarter of her country's population cannot help themselves and therefore are in need of the ministrations of the psychiatric profession, almost half of whose physicians are themselves apparently dependent on self-prescribed psychoactive medication.

"What do you do when you don't know what to do?" muses British psychiatrist R D Laing in 1985. "No wonder there are more suicides among psychiatrists than in any other profession."

SEXUAL TURMOIL
A survey in Medical Economics illustrates that the problems of psychiatrists don't end with alcoholism, suicide or drug abuse. Psychiatrists also lead other branches of medicine in marriage difficulties - including sexual problems. In a personal interview, Dr Al Parides, Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA in Los Angeles, declared that psychiatric values had been "very influenced, especially by the Freudian influence in regard to sex and morality generally…. If you look at the personal lives of all Freud's followers - his initial disciples - these people certainly have an unbelievable amount of particular problems in the sexual area… The amount of deviancy as far as their sexual behaviour and so forth is enormous. If you are saying that psychiatry promotes a certain form of morality that is a deviant morality in regard to many areas including sexual behaviour - yes, I would agree."

Today's psychiatrists, according to studies, have the shortest marriages of seven branches of medicine studied and are most likely to have extra-marital affairs, as are their spouses. But extra-marital affairs with whom… and where…?

"Barbara Noel felt herself floating towards consciousness. It was Friday, 21st September 1984, and she was in her psychiatrist's office in Chicago, waking from a dose of sodium amytal, a barbiturate he had been giving her in order to help her explore her subconscious. This morning though, instead of awakening dreamily by herself, she says she felt a weight on top of her. A man was breathing heavily onto her shoulder. Still sedated, Noel moaned and stirred. The breathing stopped, and the body on top of her carefully lifted away. Pretending to sleep, Noel opened her eyes a crack. She could make out a person standing at a sink with his back to her. He was bald, with a tanned back and stark white buttocks. Noel's heart stopped. The man, she says, was Dr Jules Masserman, her psychiatrist of 18 years."

Subsequent action against Dr Jules Masserman solicited a fervent denial by the latter of the charges. Psychiatry all over the world winced as they followed the descending fortunes of Masserman, the 1979 president of the American Psychiatric Association. The case was finally settled when Masserman agreed to pay malpractice settlements to Noel and three other women. He also signed an agreement never to practise psychiatric therapy again in the United States.

Now a man in Canton, Texas shoots his son's high school football coach. He is later found in the woods with self-inflicted wounds, including cuts to his wrists and thigh. Does that sound like Prozac to you? Or one of the other SSRIs?

The man has a history of anger problems. It's a safe bet that somebody thought he should get "help" because of his temper. Unfortunately, the "help" usually offered by today's psychiatrically-influenced community is SSRI-type drugs that make people crazy; drugs that make them kill others or themselves or both.

I say he was a victim of SSRI-type psych drugs, whether it's Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, or any one of several others in this category. In fact I'll say it's a fact. If somebody thinks it's not true, let him prove otherwise.

Since when did somebody lose his temper, shoot somebody, then go in the woods and start carving himself up with a pocketknife? Since SSRIs came into use as so-called "antidepressants", that's since when.

First They Go To A Psychiatrist, Then They Go Insane

First they go to a psychiatrist, then they go insane. Then while everybody else carrying out the bodies and wiping up the blood afterwards, they say, "Wow, he was insane! He was already going to a psychiatrist! They were already giving him drugs to try to stop this! They should have given him more drugs! They should have psychiatried him more!" But what they miss is he went crazy after he went to the psychiatrist. He went crazy after he took the drugs. Not before!

In the San Francisco Chronicle, Keith Hoeller wrote a great editorial on this subject.

"Another teenager has shot and murdered schoolchildren, and those who believe that "mental illness" is the cause of all our social problems have offered the standard explanation and usual solution: This child suffered from a mental illness, and if only someone had seen the symptoms and notified mental-health authorities, he would have received an accurate diagnosis and the proper medication, and the tragedy could have been prevented. If only Red Lake High School student Jeff Weise had been placed on antidepressant medications, psychiatrists say, then this murder/suicide would never have happened. The story is usually followed by calls for more mental-health screening and treatment of our nation's schoolchildren," says Hoeller.

"In most of the recent cases of school shootings, however, the signs were noticed: The child was reported to mental-health authorities, received a psychiatric diagnosis, was put on medications and was taking them when he pulled the trigger. It was true with Eric Harris of Columbine and Kip Kinkel in Oregon, as well as 10 other youths. This may be the tip of the iceberg, because this information is often kept confidential and out of the papers, even when a murder occurs.

"Now news reports indicate Weise, who murdered nine in Red Lake, Minn., before turning the gun on himself, had been suicidal and was committed to a mental hospital. He began taking an antidepressant last summer, and his dosage had been increased a week before the shootings, according to the New York Times."

So once again, we put the cart before the horse and say, "Why didn't they help him in the mental hospital? Why didn't they give him the drugs?

The answer is, they did.

Sooner or later it's gonna hit everybody like a ton 'o bricks. Psychiatrists and psychiatric drugs don't cure insanity -- they create it!

Killer Was On Prozac !!!

So it's out. The killer in Minnesota was on Prozac. We hope you didn't bet with us on that one. If you lost, mail your check to Citizen's Commission On Human Rights -- a group that works feverishly to fight the slide toward installing the psychiatrists as the High Priests, and drugging school kids.

According to the news, Jeff Weise -- the 16-year- old assailant -- was "a deeply disturbed youth who had been treated for depression in a psychiatric ward".

Once again we ask, If the psychiatric ward is supposed to help, why did he kill after he went to the psychiatric ward and not before!! We aren't going to stop asking that question, in spite of the fact it is now rhetorical (being asked for effect only because we already know the answer).

The answer of course is that psychiatry does not work. Psychiatric drugs make psychotics, they don't cure them.

He was on Prozac, and he had already been hospitalized once for suicidal tendencies -- another Prozac side-effect.

Much has been made of the rough lot he's had in life. His mother died. His father committed suicide. However, I know a woman whose father committed suicide. She and her siblings were raised at a subsistence level income by an alcoholic mother, and all three of them have college degrees and are doing very well. It's the drug, not the situation.

In fact, the next question we have to ask is, what psychiatric drug was his father on when he committed suicide?

10 Dead From Teen Shooter In Minnesota

Now we have another teen shooter. This one was in Bemidji, MN, and he killed 10 people before killing himself in a rampage through his school. Watching the news, we haven't yet see which drug he was on, but we can safely assume there was a psychiatric drug involved. We're making book on it. Wanna bet?

It isn't the first recent incident in that area. In nearby Cold Spring, MN, John Jason McLoughlin is awaiting trial for shooting two of his fellow students. We're still trying to find out what psych drug he was on, too -- but we're getting warmer; his defense is based on "insanity". To prove that, they'll have to expose his psychiatric history.

It never ceases to amaze us that the news people conspire to cover up this glaring datum; the guys (and girls) who do this stuff are victims of the school psychiatry/psychology systems, and they are on psychiatric drugs! That is what is causing this madness.

Anti-psychotics Cause Heart Attacks

Now we find out that anti-psychotics are associated with sudden cardiac death (physician-speak for heart attacks, I guess). And not just slightly!

According to the study at the above link, use of anti-psychotics was associated with a three-fold increase in the number of cardiac deaths. Or to be precise, "sudden" cardiac deaths.

It's poison.

A Little Humor

NCAA RENAMES MARCH MADNESS 'MARCH BIPOLAR DISORDER'

Under Pressure from National Institute of Mental Health, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) stunned the sports world today by announcing that its annual college basketball tournament, known to its fans as March Madness, will henceforth be known as March Bipolar Disorder.

The name-change, which both surprised and outraged devotees of the annual ritual, came after the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) demanded that the NCAA drop the "Madness" tag.

While fans across the country argued that "March Bipolar Disorder" did not have the same ring to it, a spokesperson for the NIMH said today that the new name was "more clinically accurate."
"Each year, the tournament produces extreme mood swings in both its players and its fans," said spokesperson Carol Foyler. "In our view, those symptoms are consistent with bipolar disorder."

Even as tournament purists complained that the NCAA had caved in to the medical community, sports marketing expert Colby Teague said that the name-change could open the door to new sponsorship opportunities from the manufacturers of bipolar disorder medications, such as Eli Lilly.

"I could see a scenario where next year it's called the Prozac March Bipolar Disorder," he said.

Psychiatry Makes A Hannibal Lecter

In London this time, a person who has been for years under the care of "mental health" people flew off the handle. Within hours of his release from a mental health institution, he killed a man, butchered him, then fried the man's brains in butter and ate them. He had been in the institution for a long time as a result of a previous murder.

Soo-o-o, since he killed and ate his friend, they popped him back into the mental institution, where nine weeks later, he killed a fellow inmate in a "medium security" part of the institution.

The take on this by a London Newspaper is that this unbelievable incident was due to "lapses in mental health care". This couldn't be more true, but we think our viewpoint might be a bit different that that of the newspaper. They probably thought the unfortunate fellow needed "more" mental health care. It would be our position that the current medieval mental health practices on this planet make killers like this. It is true, for instance, that this man committed a murder before he was most recently committed to the mental health facility. It is possible, even likely, that he was a victim of mental health even before that. If he had previously been given psychiatric drugs like Prozac or Paxil then he joins a group that is statistically more likely to commit insane acts such as these. However, he was treated at the mental health facility and released at which point he killed his friend and ate him for lunch.

Nothing could be a bigger indictment of the mental health system. They don't help people, they make them worse. They don't have a clue what really constitutes insanity. They don't have any way to determine whether a man or a woman or a child is truly insane. They have no workable technology -- only drugs, and methods Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition would have loved -- electroshock and brain surgery.

We will only restore sanity and safety on this planet when we end the sham called "mental health" and replace it with real care that recognizes that men are spiritual beings and that mental health is a spiritual matter, not a "chemical imbalance" or a "genetic flaw" or God forbid, a "life style choice". I for one have had enough of this.

Making Book: Prozac? Paxil?

Okay we have another one, this time in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Saturday the man walked into a church service and opened fire, killing seven others before killing himself. His name hasn't been released yet in the accounts I've read this morning. And they haven't released yet which psych drug he was taking.

This tragedy plays over and over, and it accelerates as more and more people are put on the class of psych drugs that includes Prozac, Paxil, Luvox etc., known collectively as "SSRI" drugs. These drugs cause insanity, but they are being sold, at great profits, as a way to cure insanity. The result is you take a guy or gal that's a bit unstable, tell them you're going to "help" them, and drive them around the bend with a drug that makes them insane.

We don't yet have the hard evidence that this killer is a victim of psychiatry and psych drugs. But we will. Stay tuned.

FDA Determined To Protect Reputation As Most Slimeball Government Agency

Let's move away for a moment from considering Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox and the other psychiatric drugs designated as SSRIs. These drugs are the main focus of this blog because of the mind-numbing fact that although they cause insanity, they are being used to treat insanity.

But the underlying issue is the question of what the FDA is thinking when they approve killer drugs.

Many years ago, when Prozac was rejected in Germany and England because of its suicide-related side effects, the FDA happily approved it, breaking the back of what should have been a universal rejection of the drug. Soon thereafter, a top exec at the FDA retired to a posh job at Eli Lilly, the drug company that makes Prozac. This was the beginning of the FDA's slide into the gutter. At first it looked like a few unethical mavericks had managed to line their pockets by sliming an agency that had always had the respect of Americans. But as the years have gone by it becomes more and more obvious that the FDA has completely dropped any pretense of respectability. It now moves by night under dim street lights wearing a short skirt and no underwear and way too much lipstick.

Sincere people are trying to prop up the reputation of the FDA but every best effort is undermined by repeated episodes of the FDA staggering home after midnight smelling like cheap whiskey. The latest such episode is incredible. It has to do with the Vioxx-type painkillers. When it came out that Vioxx sharply increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, the FDA quickly tugged her skirt hems down in an attempt to achieve some level of respectability, and rushed to the microphone with furrowed brow. "We'll investigate!" she said, to a grateful nation.

The investigation was shortly completed shortly thereafter. "Vioxx and it's blood brothers Celebrex and Bextra have been thoroughly investigated and they are innocent," piped the FDA, "Our blue-ribbon panel has spoken! No charges will be filed."

But this isn't our first picnic. We didn't just fall off the turnip truck. So we take a look at the FDA's blue ribbon panel. Of the 32 people on it, 10 had close financial ties to the drug companies that make these drugs. How did this affect the proceedings? An example was the vote that cleared Bextra. The big pharma 10 voted 9-1 in favor. If it wouldn't have been for this lopsided side show, the vote would have shut the drug down.

The interesting comments came from panel members whose strings aren't being pulled by big pharma. One MD said that as many as 50 people per day are dying from taking these drugs.

But let's wind down this little FDA indiscretion. The truth is the only people who die from these painkillers are the people who use them. They may ruin a few lives and leave behind some devastated relatives -- at the rate of 50/day. But that's kid stuff to the ruined lives created by the epidemic of SSRI use. It's one thing to have Daddy die of a heart attack, and another thing altogether to have Daddy hang himself or blow his brains out -- or storm into his place of work and kill his boss and co-workers before killing himself. It's one thing to have Mother suffer a stroke and wake up with one side of her face not working. It's another thing altogether to have Mother drown her four kids in a bathtub or chop her children up -- two deeds done by SSRI-soaked U.S. mothers did. Or blow away grandma and grandpa with a shotgun as a 12-year-old on Zoloft did recently. SSRIs are criminal and so are the people who covered up their side effects. And so are the people in the FDA who put their personal gain ahead of the sacred trust they have abandoned.

Psychiatric Commitment Used To Shut Up Whistleblower

An Army sergeant in Iraq was tucked away in a psychiatric ward for complaining about crude treatment of detainees under interrogation, in spite of the fact that he was labeled as normal in his initial evaluation. Regardless of this, he was shipped off to a psychiatric ward in Germany for "evaluation" for an indeterminate time.

This was reported today in a Washington Post article.

This is of course the way dissent was suppressed in Russia during the dark years of the U.S.S.R. Dissenters were famously sent to "Siberia". The usual excuse was insanity. The government would declare them insane and pick them up. Their family might see them again years later or never, depending on the circumstances. The same tactic was used in Nazi Germany, and in most earlier cultures in one way or another. There was always an Inquisitioner or High Priest or Witch Doctor willing to fulfill the need of those in power to shut up the opposition.

The US is increasingly subject to this kind of thing. The move to initiate involuntary psychiatric testing for citizens is the subject of more than one failed bill in Congress over the last few years, and is on the table again this year in the form of the "Universal Mental Health Screening" initiative. This would create a file on every citizen. Given the penchant of psychiatrists to define everything from drinking coffee to picking your nose as a mental illness, it would be only a short step to define someone as "insane" and haul them off. This might seem ridiculous, but is not. It has already happened in isolated cases. During the reign of Janet Reno, there was the incident where the relatives of an old lady living alone got a judge to rule that she should be committed to a local hospital for a 90-day mental competency evaluation. This woman had no criminal record and according to friends and neighbors had never hurt anyone. She refused to go along with the game, though (which would have almost undoubtedly resulted in at least forced drugging if not worse) and the FBI wound up having to shoot it out with her as she defended her house with her husband's old shotgun.

The bottom line in the US today is you can be imprisoned without due process -- without committing any crime -- if the judge declares you mentally incompetent. Or even if the judge declares you should be taken away and evaluated for competency. This is not constitutional, and it's not safe for thee and me. It's time to tell our legislators that spiriting away people in the middle of the night without due process in the name of "mental health" is not to be used to coerce the populace.

FDA Raids Paxil

The FDA seized existing US supplies of Paxil and Avandamet, drugs manufactured by UK drug giant GlaxoSmithKline. Glaxo said they have temporarily halted distribution of the drug pending settlement of the matter, in which they are accused of "continued violations" of quality tests.

According to CNN, FDA and the Department of Justice will not allow drug manufacturers to ignore our high public health standards for drug manufacturing," said John Taylor, FDA Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs.

We applaud the FDA for taking even a small amount of the killer drug Paxil off the market. However, we now we want to know the answer to the next question: is this really a tough, new and more perceptive FDA, or is it the same old whoring FDA, attacking a British competitor to their darling American manufacturer Eli Lilly, maker of the Paxil competitor Prozac?

Paxil vs. Natural Remedies

Jenny Thompson at HSI came up with this one. You might like to subscribe to her great newsletter.

The medical mainstream HATES this kind of thing.

In a recent trial that tested St. John's wort against the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine (better known by its U.S. brand name Paxil), St. John's wort produced better results and fewer adverse side effects.

Over a six-week study period, 122 patients with moderate to severe depression took a 900 mg St. John's wort extract daily, and 122 similar patients took 20 mg daily dose of Paxil. Results showed that about half the subjects in the St. John's wort group experienced relief from depression, while only about one-third of the Paxil subjects experienced relief.

As reported in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), about 170 adverse side effects occurred in the St. John's wort group, and nearly 270 side effects in the Paxil group. In both groups, stomach disorders were the most common complaint.

These results aren't a complete surprise. We've seen St. John's wort perform better with fewer side effects when pitted against pharmaceutical SSRIs in previous studies (although usually in subjects with light to moderate depression). Yet, what I found most interesting in this case were two comments about the study posted on the BMJ web site.

The first comment comes from Tim Watkins, the director of the Depression Alliance in the UK. He says he detects a hidden agenda in the study because the researchers (funded by a manufacturer of herbal remedies) chose Paxil instead of another SSRI. Paxil, he points out, has the worst reputation for side effects in this class of drugs. He says the researchers "must have known" that St. John's wort would produce fewer side effects than other SSRIs.

I can't agree that the researchers "must have known" how the side effects would stack up. These studies have a way of often producing surprise results. Just look at all those HRT studies that blew up in the researchers' faces.

And don't feel too sorry for poor beleaguered Paxil. GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Paxil, reports that the drug brought in more than $2 billion in sales last year. In other words, there are a LOT of Paxil users out there. So in spite of the unfairness perceived by Mr. Watkins, the trial actually provides a service to any Paxil user who may be suffering from some of the more severe long-term side effects that have been associated with the drug.

The second BMJ comment comes from Jane Robertson, a reader in Australia. Jane is not a health professional, but she is a St. John's wort user. She writes that after spending 20 years in counseling to address chronic mild depression, she began using St. John's wort three years ago, and is now "leading a mentally healthy life without the agonized thinking I spent so long trying to sort out." She adds that her life has "been changed" by St. John's wort and is grateful that extracts of the herb are available over the counter.

'Nuff said. I will add, however, that St. John's wort should be taken with caution, especially by those who are also taking prescription drugs. St. John's wort has been shown to interfere with the effectiveness of some drugs. It is also critical that you not take yourself off of an SSRI without working with your doctor, especially if you are planning to substitute with St. John's wort or any other herbal or dietary supplement.

Another Zoloft Crime

Ann Tracy writes:

At the September FDA hearings I met Raul Laguerre. This very kind soft spoken man from upstate NY had come to learn what he could, to share his family's tragedy, and to meet other parents in the same position. He sobbed as he told me he had brought his family to America to give them a better life and instead he felt this action destroyed his son's life.

Just 15 at the time, young Raul, Jr's experience rings a far too familiar bell - as he began to rapidly have adverse reactions Zoloft, the doctor increased his dose and added more medications. In the end Raul was taking THREE powerful serotonin reuptake inhibitors: Zoloft, Risperdal and Strattera. The problems the doctor was attempting to address with these drugs were depression, nightmares and symptoms of attention deficit disorder - as if a serotonin reuptake inhibitor would actually help any of those conditions! When we know from medical research that impairment or reuptake of serotonin metabolism produces: horrifying nightmares, depression, mental retardation and Alzheimer's, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor would clearly only worsen any of those conditions.

Raul and his family were shocked beyond belief when he was arrested for the sodomy of a neighbor in 2003.

This is a boy who was a model son, who had never been in any trouble at all before this. And he had no memory of committing this crime. The only recall he had of the incident was a nightmare or what he thought was a nightmare of something like this happening. As you will note in the article below Raul's lawyers contend that he wasn't responsible for his actions that night because he was acting out a dream while living in a state of hypersexual arousal caused by an adverse reaction to such an unbelievable combination of medication.

The truth is this boy is lucky to be alive since using just two of these drugs together would have been enough to produce a reaction called Serotonin Syndrome which could have killed him within a 24 hour period. In his case his brain suffered the most toxic effects before his body did causing such out of character, bizarre behavior instead of the multiple organ failure that takes your life with this much too high a level of serotonin known as Serotonin Syndrome.

To the amazement and delight of the defense, the prosecutor's own expert witness in this case agreed with the defense that the drugs had caused young Raul to do this. It is almost unheard of that an expert called by the other side would agree so completely with a defense expert. But even more amazing than that is the fact that the jury then found him guilty!

Of course there is already talk of an appeal. In the meantime we need as many letters as possible going into Judge De Rosa before the sentencing of young Raul Laguerre, Jr. Judges have got to understand what it is they are dealing with so often in cases like this! The more judges that begin to get an understanding of this the sooner this insanity will be stopped. Clearly this judge needs to see that more than anything this boy needs counceling, not more medication!

Letters should be sent to:

Judge De Rosa
