Europe joins the fight to spread awareness about the side effects of psychiatric drugs
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Brian Beaumont, President of the Vancouver chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, is one of many public health advocates around the world now staging a fight against psychiatric drugs and their negative impact on human health.
In only the past year and a half, 18 government warnings by five different countries including Switzerland, England, Canada, the US and Europe have been issued on the previously undisclosed dangers of psychiatric drugs citing side effects of drug dependence, addiction, mania, hostility, aggression, psychosis, suicide and violence.
The latest inquiry came in the form of an FDA report this week.
It stated that 25 deaths from various psychiatric drugs have occurred between 1999 and 2003.
The drugs in question were amphetamines such as Adderall, and methylphenidates, sold as Ritalin, Concerta, Methylin and Metadate for children and adults with ADHD.
The FDA reports that, right now, about two million American children and one million adults are prescribed ADHD drugs each month.
On September 29 2005, Health Canada asked all the makers of drugs used for ADHD to submit data from all clinical trials and post-marketing reports by the end of 2005.
It was invented by a handful of psychiatrists by a show of hands at an American Psychiatric Association meeting in the 80's.
Since that time psychiatry has turned it's invention into a multi-billion dollar industry.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, Infants had six times the expected risk of developing the lung disorder which resulted from mothers who took the drugs in the second half of pregnancy.
The psychiatric drugs under scrutiny are selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft.
One prevailing psychiatric theory (key to psychotropic drug and amphetamine type drug sales) is that mental disorders result from a chemical imbalance in the brain.
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights.
