Simply visit my disease mongering Engine and you can get filthy rich inventing your own fictitious diseases starting right now! I'm not the only one who has come up with hilarious ways to make fun of disease mongering by the drug industry. Justine Cooper created an entire website dedicated to a fictitious disease and a fake drug for treating it. The site, www.Havidol.com, claims to be a patient education site for Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder, or DSCDAD for short.

Health guru launches online disease mongering Engine that instantly generates hilarious fictitious disease names

By using an online software engine to generate disease names and descriptions that seem real, Adams hopes to demonstrate that just because a disease name sounds real doesn't mean it is. The disease mongering Engine can generate more than 73,000 unique disorders, syndromes and dysfunctions. Each one is accompanied by unique description, along with universal instructions for "getting filthy rich" by marketing the fictitious disease and selling FDA-approved pharmaceuticals to treat it.
REPPED: An online tool published today allows users to instantly generate fictitious disease names and descriptions based on terminology commonly used in describing psychiatric or behavioral disorders. The "Disease Mongering Engine" is available at www.NewsTarget.com/Disease-Mongering-Engine.asp and randomly generates diseases, disorders and syndromes that sound real, but aren't. The engine, created by author and natural health guru Mike Adams, is intended as a parody of conventional medicine and the over-diagnosis of Americans with fictitious diseases.

Justine Cooper created an entire website dedicated to a fictitious disease and a fake drug for treating it. The site, www.Havidol.com, claims to be a patient education site for Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder, or DSCDAD for short. Not surprisingly, the public bought it, and she has been contacted by hundreds of people wanting to know where they can buy the drug to treat their DSCDAD. (Didn't they get the drug name, "Havidol?" As in, "Have it all!"
If we don't put an end to this absurd disease mongering epidemic that is sweeping the world, it won't be long until we wake up and find ourselves chemical slaves of an all-powerful drug cartel that runs government, medicine, media and education. The time to stop drug companies is NOW, before they gain an even tighter grip over the laws, regulations and information outlets that dominate society today.

Psychiatry and disease mongering: Road Rage Disorder is latest spontaneously "discovered" disease

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
No bodily function, emotion or behavior is safe from Big Pharma's disease mongering racket. It won't be long before we hear about IFD. That's Intermittent Farting Disorder, in case you were wondering. It's the early expression of CFD, Continuous Farting Disorder, which is far more dangerous. Farting, you see, is a disease. You can tell by the way it makes you dizzy and socially unacceptable. Farting, the studies show, actually leads to Social Anxiety Disorder and, in extreme cases, paranoia. Fortunately, there are drugs available to help you.
Don't fall for the con of psychiatric medicine and its incessant disease mongering. There's nothing wrong with your head. You just need what we all need: Less stress, more exercise, better nutrition (especially the minerals), more time with nature and loving, supporting relationships. It isn't complicated. But if reality sounds too challenging, I'm sure there's a psychiatrist willing to medicate you instead.
If you give in and submit to their disease mongering, they trap you with such sweeping definitions of disease that practically everyone will eventually be put on drugs. But if you resist and claim that modern psychiatry is nonsense, and you don't buy into their pseudoscientific psychobabble, they can label you with a defiance disorder. Either way, according to modern psychiatry, virtually everyone is "sick" and needs treatment. This astonishing claim is the cornerstone of the psychiatric mantra you often find repeated in news stories: The plea for treatment.
And the quickest way to do that is through disease mongering -- inventing, then marketing non-existent diseases to a gullible population that has grown far too comfortable with the idea that every human behavior is now a disease. This is how we get Road Rage Disorder, Restless Legs Syndrome (an extremely rare condition that drug companies are now trying to push onto half the population) and even the idea that menstruation is now a "disorder" that can be treated with drugs to stop a woman's natural cycles from being expressed.
REPPED: disease mongering has reached a new level of ridiculousness with the widely-reported announcement that millions of American now have undiagnosed Road Rage Disorder, also sometimes called Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). Desperate to scrounge up new diseases that can be treated with high-profit prescription drugs, Big Pharma and its disease-pushing sidekick, psychiatry, is now pulling diseases out of thin air, making them up as it goes along, and hoping enough impressionable consumers (and journalists) can be hoodwinked into thinking every fictitious disease is actually real.
Don't fall for the false authority, the pseudoscience, the psychobabble, the drug pushing and the disease mongering that now defines modern medicine in the West. Mental health is a genuine problem for psychiatrists Although IED, ADHD and many other so-called diseases are consensus hallucinations, the obvious question is: Are there genuine mental health disorders? Sure there are. And the behavior of modern psychiatrists probably demonstrates several such genuine disorders.

Mainstream media criticizes Wikipedia because it represents a decentralization of their information monopoly

The press is big on disease mongering, for example. It will promote practically any disease, even if it's completely fictitious, as long as someone from a pharmaceutical company says the disease is real and that people should be afraid of it. Look at the hype over "Restless Leg Syndrome" for an example of the disease mongering carried out by the mainstream media. I'm not saying that the New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post or other newspapers never engage in real journalism -- clearly they do from time to time.

I say we take the profits out of medicine and end the intellectual property monopolies that have enabled disease mongering and the hyping of patented chemicals over every other form of medicine. Genes, seeds and medicines should not be patentable. They should belong to everyone. And if you're wondering where all the medicine would come from if patents were abolished, the answer is that all the medicine we need already exists in nature.

Look at the hype over "Restless Leg Syndrome" for an example of the disease mongering carried out by the mainstream media. I'm not saying that the New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post or other newspapers never engage in real journalism -- clearly they do from time to time. Those papers have occasionally produced some really outstanding stories and true investigative reports, and for that, they are to be applauded. But shouldn't that be what newspapers are entirely focused on doing? Shouldn't these national newspapers be held to the highest standards of journalism?

The false gods of scientific medicine revealed: It's a cult, not a science

The rapid rise in depression, ADHD and other mental or "behavioral" disorders is so large that it can only be explained by either an infectious epidemic (in which case the CDC should be involved) or rampant disease mongering where drug companies invent diseases and push them onto children and adults in order to sell more drugs. Anyone who believes that ADHD is a real disease that has inexplicably stricken 1000% more children over the last twenty years is kidding themselves.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation

It turns out that MoDed, as any reasonably intelligent reader would ascertain, was a spoof, created by a group of enterprising journalists and academics—who clearly did not suffer from MoDed—at a conference on "disease mongering." And The British Medical Journal, which has a tradition of running humorous pieces in its April i issue, went along with it. But the joke was not universally appreciated, apparendy; a number of respectable news oudets picked up the news release and published stories of the sensational new disorder "without a hint of skepticism.

Be sure to visit my interactive disease mongering Engine to invent your own fictitious brain chemistry diseases right now, just like the drug companies do!) Evidence of criminal conspiracy Generation Rx reveals startling evidence detailing the criminal negligence of the FDA. The highly corrupt Food and Drug Administration didn't "accidentally" approve psychotropic drugs that just happened to kill children, you see: The administration knew that SSRI drugs (antidepressants) were killing children for well over ten years!

Americans fed up with drug industry influence, FDA corruption, reveals remarkable Consumer Reports survey

See the disease mongering Engine to invent your own fictitious diseases and disorders right now!) The survey further revealed 54 percent of consumers think that viewing drug advertisements allows them to "take charge of their health care." The survey did not, however, reveal whether these people were in fact suffering from deterimental cognitive side effects at the moment they were taking the survey. Statistically, it seems reasonable to assume that approximately half of the adults taking the survey were on drugs at the time they were answering the survey questions.

The hoax of modern medicine: Seven facts you need to know

The 4000% increase is due entirely to clever marketing, disease mongering and the takeover of psychiatric medicine by Big Pharma. Modern medicine is the cause of disease It increasingly seems like the only real disease in this country is the sickness of believing in pharmaceutical medicine. It's a kind of madness, actually: Thinking that a synthetic chemical can solve all your problems and put your life in perfect order like those actors shown in pharmaceutical television ads. I believe it will one day be viewed as a kind of cultural mass psychosis.

Absurd vaccine marketing calls for cervical cancer vaccinations for young boys!

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
It mostly comes down to brainwashing doctors, playing mind games with the public and controlling the media. disease mongering is rampant, and drug companies are now resorting to the most absurd, ridiculous leaps of the imagination to try to convince people they need more vaccines and medications.
Even the idea of mandatory vaccinations for teenage girls is little more than desperate disease mongering designed to sell vaccines. Carrying HPV doesn't automatically lead to cervical cancer any more than carrying chicken pox turns you into a walking biological weapon. Most people who carry the virus show no symptoms at all, and girls with healthy immune systems and healthy lifestyles (diet, nutrition, etc.) have a near-zero risk of ever developing cervical cancer, even if they're exposed to HPV on a repeated basis.

Whistleblowers wanted: Truth Publishing seeks insiders to speak out about drug companies, health insurance and conventional medicine

When launched over the next 1 - 2 years, these will rattle the very foundations of conventional medicine and wake up the public to the truth of what's going on with rampant disease mongering, the drugging of children, medical experiments on humans, profiteering by drug companies, and the FDA-enforced monopoly drug racket that keeps Americans diseased and broke. The truth is coming out, and people will be shocked. It's like Hitler's suicide and the surrender of the Nazis in World War II. Suddenly, the German people woke up and realized they had been following a madman.

Outrage! Preschoolers used as guinea pigs in psychotropic drug tests

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
The American Medical Association, to my knowledge, says nothing skeptical about disease mongering by psychiatry. Few doctors see any problem at all, and fewer still have the courage to speak out. The FDA, which is supposed to protect people, gladly approves one psychotropic drug after another, even for use on toddlers. Lawmakers take campaign finance contributions from drug companies and look the other way, and the mainstream media continues publicizing fictitious diseases, lending them false credibility and creating customer demand for dangerous drugs.

Their endless quest for corporate profits at any cost has driven them to medical madness through disease mongering, the drugging of children, and conspiracy with the FDA (and other industry organizations). These excesses expose the weak underbelly of this beast, and it will only take one well-placed thrust of the sword to slay this dragon. That's what the right whistleblower can do. Conventional medicine may seem powerful, but it is weak, exposed, and ripe for revolution. Its excesses are indefensible. Its crimes are inexcusable. And its true nature cannot be concealed any longer.

Outrage! Preschoolers used as guinea pigs in psychotropic drug tests

They have nothing to say about the lack of science behind psychiatric disease mongering. They aren't skeptical at all. Clear thinking, it seems, isn't allowed when the conclusions might question the institutions of modern medicine. And thus, the skeptics reveal themselves as little more than purveyors of medical dogma; protectors of a drug-the-children medical cult that demands unquestioning obedience to its profit-minded beliefs. Good science has long since left psychiatry.
Blatant quackery Let's face it: Modern psychiatry and its incessant disease mongering amounts to quackery at its worst. This group both invents the diseases, then hawks the snake oil that "treats" those diseases. And underneath it all, there's absolutely no physiological evidence of any such diseases at all. They can be diagnosed in children on a whim, based on a mere sixty seconds of casual observation combined with the biased opinion of a drug-pushing psychiatrist being bribed by Big Pharma. This is not medicine, folks. And it's certainly not science. It's just plain medical fraud.
Modern psychiatry, with all its false authority, drugging of children and rampant disease mongering, is an affront to all people who believe in honest medical science and basic human decency. Armed with the DSM-IV, on-the-take psychiatrists invent diseases out of thin air (like "bi-polar disorder"), then vote official treatment protocols into the reference books.
