Expressing concern about "psychiatric risks", the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to change the
warnings for drugs used to treat
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The drugs they
refer to are amphetamine-like, Schedule II products: Concerta,
Ritalin, Adderall (an amphetamine banned in Canada but not the US)
and Strattera. The psychiatric side effects mentioned in the FDA's
release, "FDA: Concerned With Psychiatric Risks With ADHD Drugs,"
are "visual hallucinations, suicidal ideation, psychotic behavior,
as well as aggression or violent behavior." But these are not
psychiatric side effects at all—they are signs of intoxication,
poisoning and brain abnormality because they appear following the
administration of a drug, in subjects who were medically normal prior
to taking the drug.
How can I say they were medically normal prior to taking the drug?
They had ADHD, didn’t they? Psychiatry tells everyone that ADHD is a
"disease" and a "chemical imbalance" of the brain,
don’t they?
This brings us to the Tom Cruise—Matt Lauer debate on the
Today Show, Friday, June 24, 2005, in which Mr. Cruise charged,
most importantly, that, "psychiatry is a pseudoscience."
In a follow-up Today Show on Monday, June 27, 2005,
Harvard psychiatrist, Dr. Joseph Glenmullen—one of their own—
made clear that psychiatric disorders are not something abnormal
within the brain. While pharmaceutical ads and psychiatrist/physician
disclosures to patients for purposes of informed consent, routinely
portray psychiatric disorders as chemical imbalances/diseases, they
are not—not a single one! Not schizophrenia, bipolar disorder,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder,
oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), nor any
kind of depression.
Knowing these were the indisputable facts of the matter,
psychiatrist Steven Sharfstein of the American Psychiatric Association
had no rebuttal. Their "disease" lie was out of the bag. He
lamely stated hat insurance doesn't pay for anything but drugs as
though this is justification for drugging 20% of the nation’s entirely
normal schoolchildren.
Mr. Cruise has done incalculable good for the American people, who
are drugged to the gills in the name of "treatment" for
invented, fictitious "chemical imbalances." He has shed the
light of day on a fraud.
This brings us back to the FDA and their professed efforts to learn
the true "risk vs. benefit balance" for the drugs listed above
when used for the fictitious "chemical imbalance" ADHD. This
is no light matter considering that 6-7 million U.S. children have been
diagnosed/branded with this disorder. Virtually all of them are taking
one or more of these drugs which concern the FDA and which will be the
subject of a pediatric advisory committee meeting this Wednesday and
Thursday.
Now we know the child diagnosed with ADHD is a normal child, and that
the only potential for physical harm to them comes from the
drugs/chemicals/compounds/poisons, the FDA states are safe, effective
and necessary. When did the FDA cease to be a protector of the people?
When did they become a part of the industry they were to help regulate?
Through the years of the invented ADD and ADHD epidemics, the FDA has
joined psychiatry in speaking of these and all psychiatric
"disorders" as if they were actual physical
abnormalities/diseases, and drugging children with these addictive,
dangerous, deadly drugs, as if they were. But thanks now to Mr. Cruise
and to Dr. Glenmullen, we have had our eyes and minds opened to the
reality that psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a fraud and a
"pusher" of drugs and that there is no such thing as a
"chemical imbalance."
