CCHR Backs Tom Cruise
Warning On Deadly
Psychiatric Drugs
Group warns about national crisis of child
drugging
with "kiddy cocaine" and suicide-inducing antidepressants.

Video exposes
the hoax of psychiatry's "chemical imbalance"
theory.
-
The Citizens
Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a psychiatric
watchdog group, said Tom Cruise's remarks
on NBC's Today Show (Friday, June 24)
represent a growing public awareness about
the national crisis of children and adults
being prescribed mind-altering drugs.
More than 8 million children in the United
States now take these drugs; millions
more abuse them. Today the group released
a White Paper on "Common Psychiatric Drugs
and Their Effects" that educates people
about the physically and mentally damaging
effects of psychotropic drugs that are
often prescribed for a "chemical imbalance"
medical experts say doesn't exist. Accompanying
this is a video documentary on the group's
website, http://www.cchr.org, that includes
prominent doctors, neurologists and psychiatrists
debunking the hoax of mental disorders
being physically based or the result of
a chemical imbalance.
-
"The paper
provides information that psychiatrists
are not going to tell people, enabling
them to make an informed choice," CCHR's
international president, Jan Eastgate
said. She slammed the American Psychiatric
Association (APA) and affiliated mental
health organizations that tout false statistics
to the media about the number of Americans
suffering from "mental illness" which
she said is a fraudulent misrepresentation.
-
Ms. Eastgate
said, "The Today Show interview was a
warning that people need to study psychiatry
and its purported research rather than
accepting at face value concepts such
as a chemical imbalance in the brain is
causing their problems, which can deny
them real help. In any media interview
with a psychiatrist he should be asked
what lab test he uses to determine this.
There isn't one."
-
The "chemical
imbalance" theory, popularized by marketing,
is "no more than psychiatric wishful thinking,"
the group's U.S. president, author and
former educator, Bruce Wiseman says. "It
has been thoroughly discredited by researchers,
doctors and scientists. The only reason
it exists is that it makes it easier for
psychiatrists to drug vulnerable and often
desperate individuals. It is driven by
more than $23 billion in drug sales each
year."
-
Appearing
in CCHR's video is Dr. Julian Whitaker,
author and founder of the highly respected
Whitaker Wellness Center in California,
who says that psychiatry is a pseudoscience.
"There's no pathology. There's no blood
test. There's no lab test. There's no
x-ray. Psychiatrists list out and vote
on clusters of behavior and call them
a disease. They are giving drugs to millions
of people who do not have a defined medical
problem."
-
Also interviewed
is New York psychiatrist Ron Leifer who
says, "There's no biological imbalance.
When people come to me and they say, 'I
have a biochemical imbalance,' I say,
'Show me your lab tests.' There are no
lab tests. So what's the biochemical imbalance?"
-
Based on
this false theory, millions of people
have fallen prey to psychiatric treatment:
stimulants and antidepressants have induced
teenagers to go on murderous shooting
sprees (8 out of 13 school shootings,
such as the Columbine High School shooting
in 1999, were committed by teens on psychiatric
drugs). Mothers on these drugs have killed
their children or cut off the arms of
their baby while taking these drugs. Electroshock-the
firing of up to 460 volts of electricity
across the temples-is damaging the brains
of over 100,000 Americans every year.
-
Because
of the influence of psychiatry in the
nation's schools, hundreds of parents
have also been forced to place their children
on psychotropic drugs as a requisite for
their education, an abuse CCHR and others
countered with congressional support last
year. The Prohibition of Mandatory Medication
amendment now prohibits this practice.
-
For 14
years, CCHR, which was established by
the Church of Scientology, has also worked
with parents and concerned groups to expose
the violence and suicide-inducing effects
of antidepressants. Last October, the
Food and Drug Administration ordered a
"black box" label for antidepressants
that the drugs could cause suicide. But
these reforms are not enough to curb what
CCHR says is a "national crisis" of child
drugging and psychotropic drug abuse.
-
The International
Narcotics Control Board says that 80%
of the world's Ritalin consumption is
in the United States. This is a drug that
medical studies show can predispose children
to later cocaine use because Ritalin and
cocaine derive from similar chemical properties.
A study of 500 children over 26 years
by researchers at the University of California
at Berkeley found that Ritalin is basically
a "gateway drug" to other drugs, in particular
cocaine. A recent survey by the Partnership
for a Drug-Free America found 10% of teens
abuse the stimulants Ritalin and Adderall.
Between 1995 and 1999, the use of antidepressants
increased 580% in the under-6 population
and 151% in the 7-12 age group.
-
In some
communities, 20% of children are taking
stimulants, according to Drug Enforcement
Administration pharmacologist Gretchen
Feussner. "That should be a wake-up call
that something isn't right," Feussner
said.
-
"Psychiatrists
are society's biggest drug pushers," Wiseman
says. "People do suffer from serious mental
difficulties or life-crippling problems
and their methods of coping with this
can fail. Psychiatrists exploit this,
marketing drugs for conditions they admit
they do not know the cause of or can cure.
Fraud involves intentional deception or
deliberate misrepresentation to secure
money, rights or privilege. Americans
are waking up to this psychiatric fraud."
-
The group's
White Paper, "Common Psychiatric Drugs
and Their Effects," and other website
publications warn people that they should
not stop taking psychiatric drugs unless
it is under medical advice and supervision.
They stress the need to find competent
medical (not psychiatric) doctors who
can do thorough physical examinations
to determine what could be underlying
and causing emotional problems.

Tom Cruise
may be the most obnoxious, revolting glam-boy
of the hollyweird elite, but in this case
he's dead right -- and maybe some of that
star power will get people to listen before
their kids, their wives, their husbands,
their aging parents are sent on a dark
right into madness and chemically triggered
psychosis leading to suicide/homicide
induced by these powerful mind altering
substances being dispensed like candy
by physicians around the globe. It's pretty
pathetic when upstart cult (scientology)
cupie dolls like Cruise know more about
the dangers of psychotropic pharmeceuticals
than the APA/AMA (will admit).

Psychiatric
drugs have been around since the l950's.....They
were first tried on prisoners who volunteered
to test them, but NO ONE was able to say
why they worked or if they were really
effective.
-
It is important
to note that untill l983, science and
doktors believed that the human brain
was the only organ of the human anatomy
that did not regenerate itself. There
was no way to see the function of the
brain or the administration of psychotropic
or neuroleptic medication.
-
The University
of Seattle, Washington, developed the
first and only instrument that will not
only show mental illness, and physical
brain diseases, but can also measure the
results of medication that is for the
brain. This amazing and wondrous medical
tool is called Positron Emmission Tomography.
-
PET scans
are the only way that one can measure
if, indeed, there is a brain imbalance.
However, there are only four of them in
the US. (I have not researched Europe
for one and the USW staff does not answer
mail.
-
It was
the first time that mental illness could
be seen or measured. It is very effective
and costly. That is why there are not
more of them available to the public and
medical care providers.
-
Schizophrenia,
and bi-polar disease were first seen in
the studies that the university did prior
to showing the world their new diagnostic
tool. And the administration of the drugs
that help those diseases.
-
Most of
the psychiatrists I worked with became
so, because they did not like the smell,
blood, and various unpleasant odors that
accompany real medical care providers.
They do not want to get dirty
or to
actually get to know their patients,
but then neither do medical doktors
today. In fact, we have reached a place
where Doktors do not want pro-active
patients, they want compliant patients
that will hold still for any treatments,
meds, or procedures that the Doktors
want to administer.
-
Like good
little hamsters, guinea pigs or monkeys.
-
Patients
are apparently too stupid to give accurate
histories of the diseases of the past
and they cannot be expected to understand
anything but taking orders.
-
Sounds
awfully fascist and dictatorial at best.............

But then
I am just Wun Lun Ran Ting.
