(NaturalNews) On the heels of shocking revelations that top psychiatric research Dr. Joseph Biederman secretly took $1.6 million from drug companies while conducting psychotropic drug experiments on children, it has been learned that Dr. Biederman is now one of the key collaborators behind the latest efforts to discredit St. John's Wort. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and widely reported in the mainstream media, Dr. Biederman and fellow cohorts "concluded" that the St. John's Wort herb is useless in treating ADHD in children.
What's astonishing about this study, as you'll learn in this article, is that all the children used in the study were given inactive forms of the St. John's Wort herb where the active ingredients had been oxidized and rendered useless! In other words, this clinical trial, which was widely reported in the mainstream media with headlines like "St. John's Wort Found Useless!" didn't test the herb's active ingredients at all! It sort of makes you wonder about the agenda of the people running the study, doesn't it?
Keep in mind that one of the study's authors, Dr. Biederman, is not merely on the take from drug companies that sell competing pharmaceuticals, but that he also lied about how much money he was being paid by drug companies, hiding the truth about his income by underreporting $1.6 million he took from psychiatric drug companies. See my report on that here: http://www.naturalnews.com/023408.html
Dr. Biederman has a clear financial interest in promoting patented prescription drugs for brain chemistry disorders while discrediting competing natural alternatives such as St. John's Wort. This blatant conflict of interest was not disclosed by JAMA, nor was it mentioned in the text of the study on ADHD and St. John's Wort. It appears Dr. Biederman would prefer his financial ties to Big Pharma continue to remain secret, even while producing questionable studies that desperately attempt to show that herbs don't work.
Testing Herbs to Treat Fictitious DiseasesWell, beyond the fact that the herb used in the trial was entirely inactive (meaning it was rendered useless even before the study began), there's also another burning issue that questions the credibility of the study: ADHD doesn't exist in the first place!
There is no such thing as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It's something that psychiatrists just made up and voted into existence in order to sell more drugs to children. There is no objective test for this "disease," nor is there any physiological evidence of any kind that it exists at all. Thus, to test an inactive herb on a disease that doesn't exist, and then declare the herb doesn't work is an outrageous example of extreme intellectual dishonesty. And yet it's precisely the kind of sleight-of-hand quackery carried out by modern psychiatry -- an industry that has nothing to offer society other than mind-numbing drugs, medication addictions and chemically-induced violence, obesity and diabetes.
