Ritalin stunts growth of children; long-term risk to children's health unknown

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Rather than pretending that these psychiatrists have any real medical authority, we should instead be locking them up and prosecuting them for these Nazi-style chemical assaults upon the population. modern psychiatry, through its rampant chemical poisoning of the people, has proven itself to be far more dangerous to the safety of Americans than any terrorist threat, and in any honest society, these people would be stripped of their right to practice "medicine," and denied access to children. We need a nationwide restraining order against practitioners of modern psychiatry!

Omega-3 supplements rapidly eliminate ADD, ADHD and bipolar disorder in children

Essentially, modern psychiatry believes that all such disorders are caused by a pharmaceutical deficiency. This belief conveniently serves the profit motives of the drug companies which now virtually run modern psychiatry.

Kevin Miller's New "Generation Rx" Documentary Exposes Mass Betrayal of Children by FDA, Big Pharma

A couple of CounterThink cartoons (by yours truly) also make the film, detailing FDA corruption, Big Pharma's junk science and the grand hoax of modern psychiatry. (See my most recent CounterThink cartoon, just released today: Fidozac, the antidepressant drug for dogs!) Only occasionally does the film retreat from its pressure-cooker drama. Chapter Three offers a series of personal testimonies on Prozac that goes on way too long, for example, but the timing of the film is likely to be tightened up before its final release.

Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill

Kelly Patricia O'Meara
See book keywords and concepts
It is important to understand clearly that modern psychiatry - and the identification of new psychiatric diseases - began not by identifying such diseases by means of the established methods of pathology, but by creating a new criterion of what constitutes disease ... thus, whereas in modern medicine new diseases were discovered, in modern psychiatry they were invented.

The week in review: Questions and answers on health freedom, the FDA and more

In fact, I know almost nothing about the organization other than the fact that I strongly agree with its position against modern psychiatry, as pursued by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (www.CCHR.org) On issues of religion, I happen to believe in genuine Freedom of Religion, and that means there's room in my belief system for other people to practice whatever kind of religion they want, even if it's eccentric or unpopular. I also believe in personal liberty, meaning that I respect individuals' rights to determine in their own personal way whatever system of belief serves them best.

Are antidepressant drugs an accomplice in the Virginia Tech shootings? (opinion)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Chemically assaulting these young, troubled brains with powerful drugs -- while denying them real mental health solutions based on nutrition -- is the bread and butter of modern psychiatry, an industry that in my opinion has sold its soul to drug companies and now serves primarily as a glorified system of legalized drug dealers that preys upon children and teenagers.

Ritalin stunts growth of children; long-term risk to children's health unknown

We need a nationwide restraining order against practitioners of modern psychiatry! I believe it is time we abolished the industry of psychiatry and its disastrous "treatment" of children with dangerous, mind-altering chemicals. If we continue to allow these profit-minded psych doctors to drug an entire generation with amphetamines, the long-term consequences to society will no doubt be devastating. Children do not need mind-altering drugs to demonstrate normal, balanced behavior.

Omaha Shooter Robert Hawkins Had Been "Treated" For ADHD, Depression

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

Hawkins may have pulled the trigger, but modern psychiatry drugged him with violence-inducing chemicals. The fact that such drugs promote violence isn't even disputed. It's printed right on the warning labels of those drugs! And as sad as this tragedy is for all those affected by this medication-induced violence, the truly sad part is that America still hasn't learned this lesson. If you drug the children with chemicals that cause violence, you're going to see more shootings. It's as simple as that. And if you take away the guns, you'll see bombs, knives or machetes used in these attacks.
NewsTarget deeply regrets the loss of life witnessed in this event, and we commit to doing our part to end these medication-induced crimes that continue to be perpetrated by Big Pharma and modern psychiatry.

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

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
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. It goes something like this: "Millions of people have this disorder, but are going without treatment. We must find a way to treat them!

With this film, courageous filmmaker Kevin Miller has catapulted a giant boulder of truth into the scum-filled pond waters of modern psychiatry, sending out a shockwave of ripples that threaten to finally expose this malicious branch of medicine that depends for its very survival on the chemical poisoning of childrens' brains. I give this film my enthusiastic support, and I urge every parent, lawmaker and doctor to view it.

Below, you'll learn why I feel so strongly that the scourge of modern psychiatry must be stopped. Mass drugging of schoolchildren remains dark secret of public education, psychiatry Believe it or not, until recently, it has been perfectly legal for schools to force school children to be put on psychoactive mind-altering drugs as a condition of attending that school.

How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace

Paul D. Blanc, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts
In the generation that followed Delpech, the neurological landscape began to shift, even if the earthquake of modern psychiatry had not yet struck.29 The field of neurotoxicology sat right on the fault line. The mental manifestations of toxicological insults were still of interest to the scientists of this period, but they were invoked only insofar as they might serve to reinforce grander theotetical constructs. Furthetmore, in the field of pto-topsychiatry as the 1880s came to a close, there was really only one critical doctrine, and its proponent was the great neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot.

The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing

It's a combination of the best of modern psychiatry, which includes the proper use of tranquilizers, antidepressants or other drugs, with proper attention to diet and the use of nutrients. Vitamin B3 is the main nutrient used in treatment. It is given in large doses. "It's not enough to give the tiny amount present in food," Dr. Hoffer says. "One will have to give many thousands of times as much in the standard dose. For the patients I work with, I give 3000 milligrams per day of either nicotinic acid or nicotinamide, which are both forms of vitamin B3.

Want to learn the horrifying, yet true, history of modern psychiatry? Check out www.CCHR.org - the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights.

By the time you finish chapter three of the film (which contains the most jaw-dropping revelations of FDA corruption and scientific fraud), you'll cry out for the criminal prosecutions of key FDA decision makers, Big Pharma executives and the authors of the DSM-IV, the "bible" of modern psychiatry. Fifty-six percent of the panel members who created the DSM-IV are on the take from drug companies, pocketing cash, bribes, royalty payments or other fees from the very same companies that profit from the mass marketing of "brain chemistry diseases.

Feel Better, Live Longer with Vitamin B-3

The cost savings to the healthcare system are enormous. modern psychiatry argues that once schizophrenics have been stabilized on antipsychotic drugs, they must continue them for life because of risk of relapse. This is a new principle in medicine. One does not keep a patient who has been treated with penicillin for pneumonia on the antibiotic forever, just to prevent a relapse sometime in the future. For schizophrenic patients, it is better to have been well for a long time with a slight risk of relapse than be subjected to continuous drug toxicity.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation

Had Spitzer settled on, say, the word disease instead, it is conceivable that the whole course of modern psychiatry would have been different. Diseases are scary, upsetting, painful, often chronic, and potentially lethal. You stay in bed with diseases. People don't like to be around you when you have a disease. You generally don't look well when you have a disease. By contrast, having a disorder is, generally speaking, no big deal. It can mean that you're just a "little off," just need a little boost, that you'll probably be okay soon.
In shifting to the more common and "more lucrative" psychoneuroses, or to people who suffer from no illness at all, modern psychiatry has chosen to treat the "unhappiness pool" instead of the "illness pool."37 The British Medical Journal got it right: "a lot of money can be made from healthy people who believe they are sick."38 Indeed, half of all psychiatric patients are seen in (more lucrative) private practice, and almost half of all patients in private practices have symptoms that are not debilitating or profound enough to add up to illnesses.
What modern psychiatry has done, I am convinced, is to conflate and confuse the two, Depression and depression. David Healy calls it a "wholesale creation of depression on so extraordinary and unwarranted a scale" so as "to raise grave questions about whether the pharmaceutical and other health care companies are more wedded to making profits from health than contributing to it."31 To treat the moderately ill before the severely ill sets a terrible precedent. It seems to go against the basic medical ethic: triage. You treat the worst affected people first.

If the exchange sounds strange to non-Evangelicals, it should, for to say that modern psychiatry and modern Evangelical Christianity do not mix is like saying that the weather in Burma is often very warm. As recently as the early 1990s, the Reverend Jerry Falwell joined with Scientology to protest the onslaught of Prozac. In doing so Falwell had sounded the traditional Evangelic objection to modern psychopharmacology: it was, he said, a stalking-horse for secular paganism, offering a biological excuse for moral failings and insufficient Christian joyfulness.

Perhaps no story best describes the outright crimes against humanity committed by conventional medicine than the true story of modern psychiatry. What's happening right under our noses today, under the guise of "medicine," is a chemical atrocity that demands immediate grassroots action on our part to halt the exploitation of our children's minds and bodies.

Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill

Kelly Patricia O'Meara
See book keywords and concepts
Modern psychiatry has yet to convincingly prove the genetic/biologic cause of any single mental illness. Patients have been diagnosed with 'chemical imbalances' despite the fact that no test exists to support such a claim, and ... there is no real conception of what a correct chemical balance would look like." David Kaiser, M.D., "Commentary: Against Biologic Psychiatry," Psychiatric Times, Dec. 1996. "There is no blood or other biological test to ascertain the presence or absence of a mental illness, as there is for most bodily diseases.
Because modern psychiatry makes believe that psychological and spiritual problems, such as anxiety and depression, are caused by mechanical failures in the physical brain, and because psychiatry then attempts to correct these psychological and spiritual problems with physical interventions such as drugs and electroshock.

In my opinion, there is no segment of conventional medicine operated with more blatant disregard for the lives of human beings than modern psychiatry. This branch of medicine is now wholly owned and operated by drug companies, which leverage the psychobabble and murky theories of psychiatry to proliferate disease (and, of course, their pharmaceutical treatments). The history of psychiatry is replete with mad scientists, human medical experimentation, and the routine harming of patients who were viewed as guinea pigs rather than real human beings.

The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders

John E. Sarno, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts
It would appear that modern psychiatry has regressed back to the nineteenth century, when the predominant view of mental disorders was that they were either hereditary or due to brain disease. Freud had not yet introduced the idea that psychology, not physiology, was the important factor in mental disorders. So pervasive was the conventional view, however, that even Freud had trouble disavowing it.
Now, despite evidence to the contrary, modern psychiatry suggests that the psyche does not induce emotional states like anxiety and depression and prefers to view them as chemically caused— back to the old nineteenth-century physiology again, albeit in a more sophisticated form. One cannot help but suspect that much of this is simply a repudiation of Freud, which can be dangerous and short sighted. It's true enough that Freud may have been in error about some details, but his basic ideas on the workings and importance of the unconscious are sound.

Mass drugging of schoolchildren remains dark secret of public education, psychiatry Believe it or not, until recently, it has been perfectly legal for schools to force school children to be put on psychoactive mind-altering drugs as a condition of attending that school. The school administrator or counselor could simply insist that a certain child be dosed with mind-altering drugs. It sounds bizarre, but it was absolutely true until just recently.
