JAMA Report Takes On Anti-Depressant Deception
The Journal of the Medical Association (JAMA) has published a report revealing a major fallacy regarding narcotic psychotropic drugs. They don't work.
Is it any surprise unbiased reports reveal that, in relief from depression, a placebo is as much as you get, versus the much tooted anti-depressants which give little or no improvement in the symptoms. It would be more truth in advertising to sell the placebos.
Only in the most severe cases of depression was any significant improvement noted against the placebo, which would be in the upper range of the scoring scale of severity of depression, which is, roughly, 1/4 of all cases. For any milder cases and particularly the mid range cases most likely to be prescribed SSRI anti-depressants by medical doctors the results are negligible or non-existent.
We're talking about their cash hogs, genesis Prozac, such as Paxil, Lexaporo, and, by extrapolation, all of the derivatives like Zoloft that opened the flood gates to a long line of worthless psychoactive drugs. Not only worthless but actually dangerous in possible side effects like "drug-induced suicides, mania, drug-exacerbated depression, drug dependence, birth defects...". We can do without these effects for sure.
Treating symptoms is really off-the-mark malpractice. The real cause has to be found and handled to eliminate the effect. Depression is a symptom not a cause. A thorough Medical examination or consultation with holistic chiropractor can reveal actual causes. One's own Google research of effective solutions or the index of one of Adele Davis's books against one's own knowingness reaps a better prognosis than that of the shrink or his MD dupes. A walk across the street to the natural vitamin store reaffirmed for me the simplest of solutions can be the most overlooked. Often the culprit is simple nutritional deficiencies such as B vitamins, minerals or hormonal imbalances with herbal remedies. Even in the most severe cases of depression this would be the first place to look.
Do yourself a favor should you ever experience anything like depression: skip the psycho-babble, even when mouthed by a medical doctor, and get some better advice.
That the JAMA report is taken from some of the earliest studies on the substances before being buried and over larded by later deceiving reports is very damning to the the drug manufactures and a is notable recognition by the JAMA. One can only hope this will dampen the enthusiasm for medical prescriptions of psyche drugs. One still hopes these will be more than just Black Box Labeled but actually taken off the market.

Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Men
by Robert L. Gisel
Those spiritual words, Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards Men, oft repeated characterize virtues we could use a lot more of around the globe.
It takes an abundance of trust and high ability to grant beingness to others, to always embrace the benevolence, generosity and greatness to rise above baser emotions that wear on one and taunt like response.
When you would seem to be egged into a needless confrontation you would be advised to have no fear, look it in the eye, take a deep breath, count to 10, or whatever works for you to not bite when bitten. Yet in the world there are insane enemies sometimes about that need to be rendered ineffective to harm. These are too often themselves the unrevealed culprits the politicos and their mad dog press try to foist off on us.
The men of goodwill, those who pursue life honestly and ethically comprise 80% or more of the entire populace. This is who keeps life tenable and the life force moving forward. The Holiday spirit reaffirms this. The Hope is it will last throughout the year.
May you embrace the causes of Peace and Goodwill and be of such import yourself reaping an abundant and prosperous New Year.

Stupidly We Blunder
"The most reliable available figures show that prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease, cancer and stroke." Lee Euler, Cancer Defeated Newsletter
Apparently doctors are messing up considerably, psychiatrists notwithstanding. In this case mis-prescription of drugs that then result in failures and a considerable amount of death. This is from a group that is noted for being academically exceptional so stupidity is no excuse. The basic reason for this will be found in false data about life, the body and treatment of health.
First off, life is not what you address when you examine a cadaver in medical school. The being, spirit, elan vital, whichever you chose to call it is not the body. It leaves when the body dies. Furthermore, you exist - live - with or without a body. This is scientific fact. You may have even heard of stories where someone died and came back a minute or a few later. A large number of previously unexplained phenomena resolves thus.
The mind is not even the body or the brain. Mental image pictures, mental machinery, these things actuate functions within the body via the brain. The whole realm of of psychosomatic ails is only remedied by an accurate science of the mind and falls beyond the scope of pathology addressed by the physician. This is known by psychiatry, however, who perpetrates most of the false data, not just about the mind and psychosomatic ills but about the body as well.
Get this: psychiatry actually tries to foist on us that the ills of the mind is mental health disease. In other words, that it is pathology. The complete lack of any scientific studies to verify any kind of such disease speaks for itself. Psychiatrists themselves admit they have no idea what causes the "diseases", e.g., ADHD or ADD, in the DSM II, their diagnostic manual. How could you possibly treat something that you have no idea what it is or what causes it?
From psychosomatic ills to mental ills these are not pathology with known medical handlings, well within the province of the MD. But the former is not treated with prescription drugs where the later may be.
I have found an interesting curioso about planet Earth: what is needed has been provided. Drugs originally were provided at the apothecary where the pharmacist made up the formula from a number of herbs he kept in jars. The twist of synthesizing these chemically was not necessarily an improvement. Chemically manufacturing drugs that are purported to handle mental ills or psychosomatic ailments for sure will cure nothing and result in a notable amount of failures, and yes, deaths.
Now that's stupidity.

Were We Ever Like This?
An antisocial person can be expected to shoot the wrong target. This is an evidently unknown behavior trait that is destroying fair play in our schools.
In a Delaware school a first grader is given 45 days suspension for bringing his favorite camping utensils to school to eat his lunch. He is an alive, bright, and high IQ lad, I'd say, judging by his photo look. He looks a lot like myself as a first grader, when I topped all third graders in the county on my SAT scores.
Even then I was guilty in a first grade incident of bringing guns to school. Playing with my favorite 2-gun holsters, cap guns I won in the church bingo game, I forget I'm wearing these when I get on the school bus. At school, to cover up my embarrassment, I hide them behind the hot water heater in the basement. Great plan, until the teacher decided to have the students all help clean the basement for the upcoming box lunch raffle. When these are found and the question is put forth whose are these, in front of the entire school body I have to admit they are mine. Very embarrassing moment.
In today's school district I would have been suspended from school or expelled for bringing guns into the school. Zachary Christie, 6, was suspended for 45 days and relegated to the alternative school for grossly bad kids. All Zachory wanted was to eat his lunch with special three-way knife-fork-spoon utensil. Actually, I'm surprised he wasn't arrested, the way attitudes have degenerated so far in our school system.
A friend reminded me recently that when we were in Junior High in Alaska we'd watch the High Schoolers bring their guns to school for the fully sanctioned Rifle Club. I almost joined that one myself but was too busy working after school, participating in the bowling club and performing in our dance band and also a folk group. These students though, they'd walk into the school carrying their rifles which they would store in their school lockers until time for the Club meet. Then they'd take their guns out of their lockers and carry them through the Junior High School to the basement rifle range.
Try that today with Security standing guard at the door with metal detector screening and frisking. How did it get so crazy? Psyche influence.
This is a stark new reality previously unviewed. The sequence goes like this:
1) Trying to study past misunderstood word and concepts,
2) Nervous and other non-optimum reactions occur,
3) For which the psychiatrist gives a bogus prognosis of ADHD or ADD,
4) This is always followed by a prescription for psychotropic drugs,
5) Which cause more violent reactions like suicide or school shootings and
6) Now the school grounds are placed under martial law and cloaked in an atmosphere of intolerance.
There are very real physiological reactions proven to result from barriers to study. Studying past misunderstood and undefined words causes disinterest, a not-there-ness, and blankness. One can feel washed-out with a nervous sort of hysteria. After numbers of such bypassed definitions one gets pretty detached, starts looking out the window and then gets rather irritable, even quite critical of the subject and the area of the subject and you want to blow from the premises. Sound familiar?
The psychiatric solution is to label the student on the spot. With no testing or scientific support of any kind whatsoever. This process is so arbitrary it is genuinely crazy.
The handling is simple: ban the fraudulent psyches from the schools and refuse to allow psychotropic drugging of the students. Implement a scientifically correct study technology. Our schools would calm instantly and common sense would again prevail.
Zachary's mother refused to let him be degraded by the ready injustice at the school. My hat is off to her.

A New Hyper-Depressant Drug to Treat Depression
When someone is seriously depressed they will be emotionally in apathy or an attitude like "dying". In other words there is a high likelihood they could be suicidal. Obviously the thing to give them for this condition is a drug that increases the possibility of suicide, right?
Big Pharma thinks so and the FDA plays right along with that. One of the newest antidepressant drugs, Pristiq, has been recently released on the market with the approval of the FDA, who turns around and now black-box labels the drug for life threatening reasons.
The data is sketchy whether this is due to side effects now showing up, meaning adverse events on real patients in lieu of clinical testing now reveal the "oversight", or that the side effects were known from the original clinical testing, in which case the FDA neglected to read the findings when the approval was given. One other possibility: the FDA is staffed by dissolute and unprincipled traitors.
This new anti-depressant drug, Pristiq, has the usual psyche-drug side effects, such as increased tendency to suicide and violence, but it has some new ones I hadn't seen in predecessors. These include dangerously low blood pressure, abnormal bleeding, seizure, to name a few. FDA approved this for release? This is nuts.
Maybe we can call 911 and have the approving FDA officers arrested by a SWAT Team for collusion to sell illicit drugs.

Want to Bet it Was Meds?
This story, advanced as the story of a hero, has a hidden meaning.
A 14 year old girl boards a bus headed to school with a .357 semi-automatic pistol threatening to shoot. A high school football player bravely makes himself a target while he gets the younger kids out the emergency door in the back and talks the girl down until he tackles her and grabs the gun. Saves 22 school kids.
The question is, what would prompt a 14 year old girl to do that? Meds. Prozac. Ritalin. Zoloft. And a dozen dozen derivatives altered only enough to change the name while keeping the same destructive side effects.
Watch the news feeds. No doubt the story will out that she was labeled by the psyches and put on "meds". The same group of "meds" that have been attributed to all the other school shootings due to their side effects prompting homicidal violence and suicide.
When will they ever learn: these psychotropic drugs don't cure insanity -- they cause it.

Psychiatric Drug Death Rates Worsen In Children
by Robert L. Gisel
A new FDA study reveals alarming results of the use of Ritalin and like ADHD Drugs. The report? To quote Jenny Thomson in her HSI Alert,
"It showed that Ritalin and other ADHD drugs may increase the risk of SUDDEN DEATH in children by a staggering 600%!
"Let that sink in: A 600% increase in sudden, unexplained death... in children! From the FDA's OWN study"Even more alarming is the response by the FDA - discredit their own reporting methods rather than take the life threatening drug off the shelf.
The FDA has been quick to take off the shelves products such as tomatoes in a salmonella scare (when it turns out it had nothing to do with tomatoes after all). Ritalin and derivative psychotropic drugs have even been black box labeled by the FDA. With a side effect of a of possible sudden and "unexplained" death, statistically showing a 600% increase, one would expect these to be banned entirely. This is no minor issue and probably should be investigated as a gross malfeasance of office.
ADHD labelling itself is a farce. The use of narcotic psychotropic drugs to "treat" a fallacious and arbitrary diagnosis is criminal. The actual causes of the phenomena the drugs are purported to treat come from something else. In some cases the symptoms have simply been found to be related to school lunch menus that leave the students malnourished. Placing a child on a regular dose of drugs, listed as schedule II controlled substance the equivalent of heroine, on a psychiatrists opinion, based on no factual evidence or scientific study, is utterly insane.
Are you ready to risk the life of your child or grandchild on the high percentages that the treatment will kill him? Needlessly?
It is imperative that we speak out against this in every avenue. Your voice heard by one who tells one other and so on down the line will have an impact.
