SUPPLIED ADDICTION !
It
was 1952, and the hotel bar was filling up as delegates drifted out
of that day’s final session of the conference and looked around for
friendly faces or in hope of striking up contacts which might prove
useful for future business.
“The
trouble with these annual drugs conferences Bob is that most of us
sit down too long, drink too much and theorise too much – like you
and I might normally be about to start doing right now”.
“It’s
called: “networking” John”,
said Bob the CEO of Farmer, Suiticals & Co., on the next
bar-stool. “Like a
fisherman, you “work” your “net” and see who you can catch”.
“I suppose
that sums it up”,
replied his psychiatrist companion, “but
I was just about to say Bob that since we last met here in Harrogate,
I’ve been developing an idea you might actually find interesting
and useful.”
“Ah
ha, what’s that then John?”
“Well,
as you know, in psychiatry we have a variety of client types.
Leaving aside those who need a brain op or electric shock treatment,
we have those who come back to us for regular weekly counselling
sessions (going on for ages before we can finally fathom their
problem and apply treatment), and those for whom we can immediately
prescribe regular daily medication, usually for life”
Well,
in order to re-establish our authoritative position after that
Hubbard book: “DIANETICS: The Modern Science of Mental Health”
managed to madly rock the boat by staying up at the top of the New
York Times’ Best Seller list for the last two years, our U.S.
colleagues in the APA, have just produced the “Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 1952”, the first issue of
its kind to guide health insurers on the various diagnoses, available
therapies, likely treatment durations and costs, etc., and I have a
feeling that that manual can be made to also do a great selling job
for a large number of your medications as well as our psychiatric
diagnostic counselling.”
“That
could be interesting John, but what on earth does APA mean? Oh, yes,
of course - the “American Psychiatric Association”. But before
you go on first let me get you another gin & tonic to help keep
your words of wisdom flowing.”
“Thanks
Bob. In fact, I have a feeling you might want to treat me to
champagne when I’ve finished explaining.”
“Okay,
but this is going to have to be good John.”
“Now
correct me if I’m wrong Bob. Outside of industrial, agricultural
and veterinary chemicals, the bulk of pharmaceutical sales are in
medication for the curing of human PHYSICAL health conditions.”
“Yes
– roughly speaking”.
“Well,
my question is “why”?”
“You
mean why restrict ourselves just to “PHYSICAL” health
conditions?”
“Yes,
that’s one big factor Bob. But I also mean “why curing?” Why
- having spent marketing and promotional time, money and effort on
finding a patient - why lose them by curing them ? It makes far more
sense to go on “managing” that guy’s condition by “treating”
him or her on a frequent basis with supplies of pharmaceutical
medicines and drugs. In other words basically provide daily “relief”
which will go on for the life of the patient.
G.Ps
already prescribe daily multi-doses of insulin for diabetic patients,
as well as inhalers for through the day usage by asthmatics, and IF
this concept of daily "illness management” can also be moved into
our MENTAL health field, in my view we can all make a fortune !”
The
conversation broke off as new drinks arrived, after which Bob
confided to John that their researchers had tried experimenting with
some of the unexamined so-called “side” effects of their existing
“physical health” products on a few of the milder mental
disorders – worry, anxiety, nervousness, etc., with occasional
"interesting" results.
“That’s
a starter Bob”
said John, “and
what I’m also looking at is that for 4 years now, instead of
patients taking out insurance, etc., or paying for their own
treatment out of their own pocket, we have had the new “NATIONAL
HEALTH SERVICE” not only increasingly picking up all the treatment
bills (to keep the service free to the patient) but also as a result,
the DoH / N.H.S. is now very rapidly becoming likely the biggest
buyer of medical services and supplies in Europe.
To
me this spells “Opportunity” with a capital “O”, and the
greater the range of products & services we can offer the DoH,
along with offering treatments for a wider selection of patients, the
greater the rewards – especially when delivered on a DAILY “patient
management” basis.”
“My
God John. If I’m understanding you properly – what you’re
saying is:
Recognise
that with the advent of the N.H.S. “free” medical system, health
services provision is now wide open for bulk marketing exploitation
whereby (for hundreds and thousands of patients at a time) we
unfailingly get paid for supplies by non-other than the U.K. Treasury
itself, rather than by sometimes slow or non-paying individual
patients, doctors or hospitals, AND in
addition to current ranges of physical health products, you are
saying develop a wide range of products for the “MENTAL HEALTH”
marketplace, as defined by your Psychiatric Association, and,
By
aiming to deliver “illness and disease or sickness MANAGEMENT”
rather than “cure orientated treatments”, we will have more
patients, more products, more longer duration and frequent
treatments, lower production and delivery costs, lower debt
collection costs, lower marketing and sales costs, vastly increased
turnover and the prospect of much increased profits.
John,
what’s your favourite champagne?
You’ve
already earned it, and – very seriously - are you interested in
doing some consultancy work for Farmer and some of the other drug
production companies who I know will want a slice of this sort of
action.”
They
dined together that evening, and the next day were still so engrossed
that they missed most of the conference’s last day’s sessions and
workshops as Bob introduced John to a small selection of conference
delegates, all pharmaceutical company executives, in a room separate
from the conference.
Less
than 3 months later, Bob and John presented the fleshed out anatomy
of their new psycho-pharm “mental
health marketing and expansion plan”
to the first meeting of what Bob called “Our
Joint Strategy Committee” at
a confidential week-end venue in a rather pretty part of southern
Germany”
Sixty
years later, that “plan”, and the steps subsequently taken to
develop and protect it, were described - via one Civil Service
Officer reporting to the group of Ministers concerned with reducing
the increasing incidence of drug and alcohol addiction - as follows:
“Any
and all business ventures continuously seek to expand their turnover,
profit and dividends year on year, and to do this their marketing
departments constantly endeavour by nearly any means possible:
a) to
expand their consumer and customer base,
b) to
increase their turnover with each consumer / customer,
c) to
maximise their profit margin on each transaction, and,
d) to
retain their existing consumers, at
all costs.
In
respect of pharmaceutical production and supply operations, this
means supplying increasing
quantities of psycho-medically prescribed drugs at top prices, to
an INCREASING number of patients,
whilst ensuring that customer payments are reliable and at the same
time also ensuring that they lose none of their regular or new
consumers.
In
addition to the marketing tools which practically every other
industry uses to achieve these goals, psycho-pharms
have developed five EXTRA drug
based
marketing strategies to help them reach their objectives:
1) Because
a cured patent is a lost profitable consumer, they have largely
abandoned the concept of cure and instead substituted “patient
management” as an operational prescribing basis giving rise to:
i) DISEASE,
ILLNESS and SICKNESS MANAGEMENT:
of anxiety,
arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, depression, diabetes types 1 & 2,
influenza, insomnia, migraine, etc.. etc.,
ii) HABIT
MANAGEMENT:
hugely expensive substitute
prescribing for drug and / or alcohol addiction, and,
iii) BEHAVIOUR
MANAGEMENT:
of invented
and / or exaggerated
youth and older age mental conditions and / or DSM-V so-called Mental
Disorders such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, ADD, SAD, Dementia and
Alzheimers, etc., etc., etc. . . . . ,
2) Based
on psycho-medico prescribing, they take advantage of the hypnotic and
/ or addictive nature of a large proportion of their products to
promote and maintain a chemically induced habitual demand from their
consumers,
(I.E. THEY ESSENTIALLY DELIBERATELY ADDICT THEIR PATIENTS IN ORDER
TO PROCURE DEMAND INCREASE – Directly
in opposition to the Government's “demand
reduction”
strategy !),
3) In
order to ensure full on time payment for their products and services,
they have persuaded successive governments that (via the NHS)
taxpayers at large
should fund these “treatments” - rather than the possibly
unreliable addicted patients themselves needing to pay,
4) To
divert attention away from their own self-styled “ethical”
addictive
substances SUPPLY activities,
they have persuaded national governments around the world to “wage
war” on competitive SUPPLIERS. (i.e. On criminal & terrorist growers, smugglers and hijackers
of a wide range of addictive chemical products.) A war which has
never actually been started, because it should logically be waged
AGAINST DEMAND (by curing consumers), rather than solely and only
against SUPPLY. A
war which officially and expensively attacks ONLY
NON-PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY drug suppliers,
and,
5) By
also establishing, developing and supporting the most sophisticated
system of PR and lobbying operations to be found in commercial
endeavour on Earth. i.e. A planetary-wide so-called “independent”
fraternity of service-user groups, charities, observers, drug
advisers, commentators, policy “commissions”, magazines,
seminars, conferences, standing committees, conventions, researchers,
action teams, psychological symposia, family counsellors and
psychiatric prescribers, etc., – all
with three goals directly or indirectly in view:
i) To
maximise the production, supply and consumption of pharmaceutical
industry drugs of all types,
ii) To
maximise the proportion of such supplies paid for by government from
taxpayer funds, and,
iii) To
ensure that any alternative successful
systems of healing, cure, diet, exercise, training, recovery and / or
rehabilitation, etc., are ridiculed, marginalised, black-balled and
side-lined out of existence, just in order to eliminate ANY
rehabilitative competition
effective enough to replace drug medication as a bona fide life long
cure or viable means of recovery from addiction.”
When
numerous, apparently
separate and independent organisations all promote one, two or all
three of the points 5) i), ii) & iii) above, politicians, Press
and public can be forgiven for believing that what they say is “the
truth” – which is exactly what Goebbels the Nazi propaganda
minister achieved in a similar way to justify and support the killing
of their Jewish citizens in Germany in the 1930s & 40s. Today its called "FAKE NEWS".
Such
artistic and effective marketing propaganda can be professionally
admired, but NEVER when it kills, or ensnares more and more
individuals in lifelong addiction merely in order to enjoy more and
more ad infinitum commercial turnover and profit.
However,
as mafia bosses have apparently so often claimed: “Its
nothing personal of course – just business”.
AND
THAT IN FACT IS THE PROBLEM.
If
the psycho-pharms lose their methadone, Subutex, naloxone and
disulfiram “Habit
Management business”
to far more effective drug-free self-help addiction recovery training
systems, their fear is that that might also lead to a loss of their
enormous “Sickness
Management”
benzodiazepine turnover, and their escalating Ritalin and Prozac
“Behaviour
Management business”.
Which
is why we now have senior British psychiatric professors, front
organisations, P.R. machines and lobbyists all using every trick in
the book to protect their pharmaceutical fellow-travellers (or
are they in fact their “paymasters” ?)
from loss of business, and it is why they are generating what looks
like (but definitely isn’t) “widespread”
continuing
resistance to residential
non-medical recovery to lasting abstinence.
This
is because psycho-pharmaceutical “treatments” just cannot,
deliver the CURES which any sane "Drug Strategy" demands,
as their continuous regular treatment with
drugs is in direct
opposition to the lasting abstinence recovery which addicts, the
society and the economy all desperately need as a foundation for
wellbeing, employability and prosperity, etc.
And they attack "residential" forms of rehabiltation and recovery - simply because their psycho-pharm "treatments" are NOT residential !
The
psycho-pharms must therefore now be mainly ignored, so that 52 year
successful addiction recovery training methods in self-help
procedures may be widely and less expensively utilised in Britain.
HOWEVER,
CURRENTLY THE CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING ARE NOT VERY GREAT. Because
the psycho-pharmaceutical UK “experts” who have consistently
failed with their “treatments” to cure addiction for 66 years,
are too often the same people called upon by PSYCHO-PHARM MANIPULATED
GOVERNMENT to pronounce judgement on those alternative REAL experts’
programmes which can and do consistently bring addicts to lasting
abstinence in so many other countries - by training
them in self-help addiction recovery techniques.
Current Government policy writers and decision makers must
recognise that, IF THEY ARE EVER TO LEARN ABOUT AND OBTAIN DELIVERY
OF EFFECTIVE REDUCTION OF ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE DEMAND, they must
by-pass all psycho-pharm market manipulating endeavours AND
ADVISERS, and
directly investigate those addiction recovery training programmes
which can deliver lasting abstinence to a majority of their clients.
i.e. to 55 to 70% of their students.
Starting
52 years ago, and currently at 55 Centres (inc. prison units) in 49
countries, such programmes are delivered daily and, in spite of
extreme, covert and continuous efforts by global vested interests to
suppress them, have continued to expand year on year with more and
more local and national government support, and that expansion is
based solely on viable costs and successful abstinence outcomes.
So
much so, that questions have been raised as to whether this expansion
is just a fierce natural phenomena of addiction or whether it is
being encouraged by more than the activities of illicit drug pushers
and the addictive nature of the substances being used.
“REDUCING
DEMAND, RESTRICTING SUPPLY, BUILDING RECOVERY AND SUPPORTING PEOPLE
TO LIVE A DRUG FREE LIFE”
were the main features of the Government’s 2010 Drug Strategy,
BUT
the first item – REDUCING DEMAND – which has been neglected for
66 years, today continues to be the Cinderella of those Departments
and Officials charged with piloting and implementing the Government’s
excellent 2010 policies.
It
does not seem to have been understood by the psychiatrists and DAATs
together co-designing and running the failed Payment by Results
"pilots", that DEMAND REDUCTION depends on REDUCING
THE NUMBER OF EXISTING
ADDICTS,
which in turn means fully recovering those addicts from their
addiction, and which logically and humanely means returning them to
the natural state of lasting abstinence into which 99% of the
population are born.
THE
ABOVE ARTICLE HAS THEREFORE NECESSARILY EXAMINED WHY BRINGING ADDICTS
TO LASTING ABSTINENCE HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY
AVOIDED
FOR THE LAST 66 YEARS - AND WHY THAT CONTINUES TO BE THE SITUATION.
AND
THE ONLY REASON WHICH ANSWERS THAT QUESTION IS:
BECAUSE
ILLICIT CRIMINAL ADDICTIVE DRUG USAGE AS WELL AS FIVE TIMES GREATER
LEGAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG CONSUMPTION - WHEN ONCE ESTABLISHED IN A
PATIENT - REQUIRES NO FURTHER EXPENSIVE PROMOTION OR MARKETING,
BECAUSE THE DRUG ITSELF DAILY CREATES NEW COMPELLING DEMAND FOR ITS
USAGE.
IN
ADDITION, THE PRESCRIBED SUPPLIES WHICH SATISFY THAT DEMAND ARE PAID
FOR IN FULL BY U.K. TAXPAYERS - SO AS TO SAFE-GUARD PAYMENTS TO
PROFIT-SEEKING PSYCHO-PHARMS, WITHOUT THEM NEEDING TO CHASE ADDICTED PATIENTS FOR PAYMENTS !
Please
Recognise: There is no such thing as "ACCIDENTAL"
addiction. Every
addict - criminally supplied or supplied by prescription is a victim
of deliberate
intention
to create drug consumers who cannot say "NO" !
(Just
think. If you or I had thought all this up, we would be Billionaires
today !)
