HOW THEY DESTROYED

THE U.K’s MOST WORKABLE SYSTEM

FOR THE COMMISSIONING OF

 

RECOVERY FROM DRUG ADDICTION.

(SOLELY TO MAINTAIN DRUG PROFITS.)

The Government’s Payment by Results (PBR) schemes are now estimated by the National Audit Office to account for over £15 BILLION of public spending.

These are outcome based payment schemes where payment of all or part of the agreed charges DEPENDS ON THE PROVIDER ACTUALLY ACHIEVING RESULTS specified by the national or local government Department contracting for the Provider’s services.

When, in the last quarter of 2010, the then Government recognised that since 1948 the National Health Service had for more than 60 years been paying for rehabilitation of addicted drug addicts - whilst receiving an actual delivery by a majority of Providers of only 3% of cured (i.e. long term abstinent) users, the Rt Hon Oliver Letwin and his team introduced probably the world’s most viable and promising addiction handling policy ever.

At that time, provision of rehabilitation was based overwhelmingly on Opioid Substitution Therapy (methadone and Subutex prescribing) and 12 Steps Mutual Therapy Groups (both residential and in-the-community), plus, in over 45 countries including the U.K., some Self-Help Residential Addiction Recovery Training Centres.

And the first revelation of the new policy was that whilst

(a) 12 Steps had – over periods of years – an apparent 20 to 30% chance of producing lasting abstinence - often with continued weekly application,

(b) N.H.S. O.S.T. prescribing was delivering only 3% of late-life abstinence, whilst,

(c) in three months across at least 45 nations, Self-Help Residential Addiction Recovery Training was delivering 55 to 69+% of former addicts comfortably abstinent for 9 months or more, and that they had been doing so since 1966.

In other words, with CONTINUING ABSTINENCE for its goal, the 2010 introduction of Payment by Results quickly revealed that there were actually little or NO RESULTS from the “flagship” psycho-pharm O.S.T. prescribing at an annual cost of over £47,000 per addict, a BETTER RESULT from much less costly 12 Steps, and a comfortably RELAXED LASTING ABSTINENCE RESULT from Self-Help Residential Addiction Recovery Training - at a ONCE ONLY cost of just over half the ANNUAL O.S.T. cost.

Rationally, what these revelations should of course have achieved, was a massive move away from O.S.T. prescribing and an equally large move towards 12 Steps and the world’s main Providers of Self-Help Residential Addiction Recovery Training – known as NARCONON® - which was established in the Arizona State Prison System in 1966 and which has been expanding across the world ever since.

BUT IT DIDN’T.

Solely because the psycho-pharmaceutical fraternity didn’t want to lose its highly lucrative O.S.T. methadone and buprenorphine prescribing business which it had built up over the previous 62 years, and which was costing the Government between £8.46 and £10.8 BILLIONS per year across all government Departments, for the 40 year life of the average prescribed methadone addict. 

(Figures obtained from the National Audit Bureau & Glasgow University)

Unfortunately the Government were persuaded by psychiatric Professor Sir John Strang’s psycho-pharm supporters that, because Payment by Results was “a relatively new idea”, it ought to be tried out in practice before being widely introduced.

Whilst PbR is of course merely a “payment system”, in the addiction recovery field it absolutely depends on first being able to deliver the LONG TERM ABSTINENCE RESULT required by the Government.   So for his four year “pilot” of Payment by Results, Strang quietly selected rehabilitation centres for his “pilots” which he full well knew could seldom if ever actually deliver a lasting abstinence RESULT.

Which absence of results, after completion of his “pilots”, he pronounced as an abject failure of the Payment by Results system, rather than as a failure of the O.S.T. prescription “management” system he had exclusively favoured and piloted.

It should be noted that he carefully excluded from his “pilots“ the one then 44 year established addiction recovery programme capable of delivering enough addicts to relaxed abstinent results to make a Payment by Results system actually WORK for the nation’s benefit.

Of all the commentators observing and measuring the U.K. addiction scene, the National Audit Bureau’s estimate of the cost of O.S.T. prescribing is the lowest per annum, at over £47,000 per addict per annum – likely for the next 40 years.

But a competent Self-Help three months long Residential Addiction Recovery Training Programme, when delivered on a Payment by Results basis, is priced at a once only fee of £29,000, of which £20,000 remains UNPAID until, as and if, the various desired degrees of relaxed lasting abstinence are achieved and medically approved by physician examination at three, six and nine months from the start of the Programme.

51 years of history across charitably run addiction recovery centres in 45 countries adequately demonstrates that a trained addict who has comfortably abstained for six or nine month is seldom – IF EVER – going to again become an addict.

Obviously, because an addiction recovery training centre is a drug-free environment, any addict in study is going to gain three months of drug free living, or is going to fail, and in either event thus pay for no more than his or her accommodation, bed, board, laundry and toiletry costs, which have to be covered wherever they reside.

But the following three months as well as the next three months prove their relaxed abstinent condition and prove to the Commissioner that the Provider merits staged payments of fees based solely on the abstinence RESULTS achieved at each stage.

To offset the biased result created by Sir John Strang’s previous four year Payment by Results “pilots”, what is now required is a new set of “pilots” over a similar period based on a three months, 51 year tried and tested, Self-Help Residential Addiction Recovery Training Programme.

Insofar as the psycho-pharm fraternity have already spent the last half century trying to get rid of Self-Help Residential Addiction Recovery Training in every possible unfair and underhand way, it is clear that such a new set of pilots will be violently, overtly and covertly resisted in every manner, because the psycho-pharms just do not want our politicians to know the truth.

For turnover and profit reasons, the psycho-pharms do not wish to deliver cures for ILLEGAL addiction – mainly because they also CAN’T !

However, they CAN cure INVOLUNTARY addiction to prescribed medical drugs – but they seldom if ever do so, and they resist having anyone else do it, by neglecting to manufacture and provide the essential small-size drop-down dosages which comfortable withdrawal from medical drugs absolutely necessitates.

As a result, any government moves or proposals to avoid and / or cure either illegal or prescribed addiction will fail if psychiatric or pharmaceutical advice is sought on these subjects, because addiction in any of its forms is their favourite way of capturing and retaining new consumers of drugs and psychiatric services.

THE ABILITY OF HUMAN BEINGS

TO IDENTIFY, COMPARE & DIFFERENTIATE

IS WHAT MAKES US SUPERIOR TO THE REST

OF THE FLESH & BLOOD ANIMAL KINGDOM

- MEMBERS OF WHICH CAN ONLY IDENTIFY.

This is because, whilst all animals including Man have brains, Man provably has an extra Analytical Mind Function not possessed by the rest of the animal kingdom.

As a consequence, studying the behaviour of mice, rats, cats, Pavlov's dogs and other animals teaches us very little about Man and, regrettably, via psychology and especially via psychiatry, has steered the medical profession in a dangerous and damaging direction in respect of Mental Health !

A direction which MUST be re-plotted if we are to go on maintaining our superiority over matter, energy, space, time, other life forms and the evil men who want to make us all robotic slaves to increasing lifelong profitable addiction.

ALL flesh and blood body types HAVE BRAINS yet, after a century of research and investigation, the superiority of Man over the rest of the animal kingdom has yet to be proved as due to our having bigger or superior brains.

But, in addition to science, if we also look at religion, with its focus on the spiritual life and the existence in BILLIONS of people of an “eternal SOUL”, we would be looking at phenomena which the so-called “psych sciences” not only completely miss out but actively DENY the existence of !

In fact, the psychs also deny the existence of “mind”as well as “spirit” as shown by the following quotation from: “A DICTIONARY of the MIND, BRAIN and BEHAVIOUR “ (ISBN 0 09 918070 7).   This is the last paragraph of the half-page definition for “psychiatry”:

“The trouble with psychiatry today is that it is still without a working theory, not just of the mind, but also the disturbed mind.

Even a definition of mental illness is not so easy to come by, so perhaps it is not surprising that to this date psychiatric methods have inevitably been of a hit or miss variety”.

What psychiatry has in a sense essentially done for a couple of centuries is to study horses in an effort to find out why modern car engines don't start as easily as horses in cold weather, and why cars don't consume not one mouthful of hay - even when running flat out !

And we can say this because a study of ANIMALS which have NO Analytical Mind Function is not, cannot and never will be even a shadow of a proper study of Man who depends on that analytical function for his success and superior survival.

As a result, if psychiatry and its associated “psych sciences” disappeared without replacement off the planet tomorrow, we would see only improvement in “Mental Health”, for two main reasons:

1) 95+% of psychiatric treatments are either a total waste of time, money and effort, or are physically or mentally damaging, depending - as psychiatry does - far more on the concerned individual practitioner than on the so-called “science”, and,

2) The authoritative presence of these fundamentally fake sciences impedes the recognition and implementation of a modern science of mental health, especially as the psychs, in striving for their continual traditional dominance, actually attack modern mental health science in every covert way possible, in an effort to stop Government Ministers and Civil Servants from ever contemplating even listening to or talking with any Dianetics® or Scientology® practitioners.

So around the world, whilst an increasing number of other countries are mending people's minds and curing their addictions with Dianetics, the U.K. National Health Service goes on spending nearly £ONE BILLION £pounds every quarter (£10.00 MILLION A DAY) just for the harmful addictive drugs they multi-daily feed to U.K. patients at U.K. Taxpayers' expense.

But Whitehall and Number 10 don't even want to know about this.  Because since 1948 they have been brain-washed in every possible way (including ridicule, bribery and blackmail) by the combination of psychiatry and pharmaceutical fellow travellers who basically run our Department of Health from outside it.

But learning “DIANETICS: The Modern Science of Mental Health” is amongst the most straightforward and coherent studies one could ever wish to learn, and the rewards in both Client and Counsellor satisfaction are probably the highest of all counselling professions, bringing as Dianetics does, a tremendously high level of word of mouth recommendations and referrals.

These counselling skills lap over into the field of addiction recovery services at Narconon®, probably since its founding in 1966 the most successful residential self-help training group of charitably based addiction recovery and addiction prevention centres in the world.

But as long as 69 years of psycho-pharmaceutical profit orientated dominance of the U.K. National Health Service is allowed to go on stopping those alternative organisations and technologies which ACTUALLY CAN CURE Addiction and Mental Health problems from even talking with our Government, then our society and our economy are doomed to continuing massive over-spending on medication, benefits, law-enforcement, early deaths and a poor future for our youth.

These “LET US TAKE EASY PROFITS FROM ADDICTION” psycho-pharms have deliberately misled Ministers, M.Ps, Local Authorities and Civil Servants in every possible way, and their most powerful black P.R. tool has been RIDICULE.

Based of course on lies, exaggeration, blackballing, marginalisation, side-lining, dishonest derision and covert anonymous propaganda - often told under the cover of the old school or university tie, or union or common society memberships.

Apart from the continuous wining, dining and conference treating in expensive tourist locations, there is evidence of other forms of bribery and most recently even blatant blackmail by the pharmaceutical industry trade body of the British government for its reluctance to spend even more on addictive medical drugs.

The idea that a “cure” involves getting the U.K. Taxpayer to pay for the substituting of addictive pharmaceutical drugs in place of smuggled drugs, is a brilliant profit-maker for chemical companies.

But what does it take to persuade an intelligent M.P. or government Official to accept that an addictive drug made in a pharmaceutical factory is any the less damaging to an addict, his life, his family, the society and the economy, than the same addictive drug provided by a Drug Baron ?

As long as U.K. taxpayers go on funding the N.H.S., it takes a wicked combination of government psychiatrists and pharmaceutical £MILLIONS, plus a clear disregard for the power of Parliament and the health and dignity of British patients !

WHAT A PITY IT'S SO DAMNED DIFFICULT TO SPEAK TO MINISTERS !

OR MIGHT THEY PERHAPS BE READY TO OCASIONALLY LISTEN ?

Yes Minister,

 

LET'S REALLY GET GOVERNMENT

SPENDING INTO PERSPECTIVE.

At Hinkley Point politicians talk about expenditure in BILLIONS, and rightly worry and fret about it perhaps becoming double the current build estimate of £18 Billions over the next 20 years.

BUT WHERE ARE OUR MINISTERS' SENSE OF PROPORTION ?

Hinkley Point is chicken-feed when compared to other totally wasteful government expenditure occurring right now, and year after year after year, to the detriment of the funding of the whole U.K. National Health Service.

Parliament's own National Audit Office (in respect of ANNUAL expenditure for the maintaining of 200,000 legally prescribed O.S.T. methadone addicts) reports that, on average, across ALL Government Departments, every such legalised addict costs the British taxpayers in excess of £47,000 annually - for likely up to 40 years.

Unless I have my decimal-point in the wrong place,

200,000 X £47,000

= £9.4 BILLION - not once - but EACH & EVERY YEAR for the next 40 years,

a 40 year total of £376,000,000,000 (HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS !)

But what problem is that super-massive spending supposed to be solving ?

Because of its well recognised long term fundamental dangers to both the economy and the society IT IS THE PROBLEM OF THE DAILY DEPENDENCY OF OVER 3 MILLION U.K. CITIZENS ON ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCES.

Addictive and / or hypnotic drugs already supplied to some 5% of our population by criminals, smugglers, psychiatrists, other physicians and pharmaceutical companies.

But the psychiatrists and pharmacologists who are the so-called “experts” dictating the government policies which result in the spending of all these £BILLIONS, pretend that the problem has nothing to do with the 7.4 MILLION doses of pharmaceutical drugs they prescribe and dispense EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR to 2.6 Million of those 3 Million U.K. drug addicts !

Instead, they lay the blame on, and focus government attention wholly on, the 15% (a few hundred thousand) of people who are victims of ILLEGAL drug addiction, by issuing Clinical Guidelines on what they call “Drug Misuse and Dependency” which apply ONLY to that 15%, but which successfully diverts attention away from the 2.6 Million addicts they have created with medical prescriptions, and on whom the massive £BILLIONS are spent EVERY YEAR.

NOT TO CURE THEM.  But to “manage” their addictions to the further benefit of psycho-pharmaceutical turnover and profit.

Of course, those 2.6 Million involuntary addicts are not labelled as “addicts” by the psycho-pharm fraternity.

NO.  THEY ARE CALLED “PATIENTS”.  Because as patients, they can go on, day after day, month after month and year after year receiving daily psycho-pharm “treatment” in the form of more and more addictive pharmaceutical drugs paid for by taxpayers via the N.H.S's already overburdened budget.

BUT, as they are designated as “patients”, any Minister, other Politician, Civil Service Official or Member of the Electorate has not only the right, but the duty, to ask: “for what are all these “patients” being treated” ?

And, the honest answer is: “For their addiction to the medical prescriptions we give them every day in order to handle their somewhat disastrous “cold turkey” withdrawal effects, which we do by every day renewing and re-enforcing their addiction with each succeeding dose”.

Don't ask the physicians if they are curing the patients' addiction - because the honest answer is: “Well we don't fully know how to, and we don't really have the resources, and in any event, the pharmaceutical companies don't actually manufacture the small doses we need to enable us to start treating them with a small-dose step down withdrawal programme”.

In leading the on-going revising of the 2007 Clinical Guidelines Working Group on Drug Misuse and Dependency (in order to validate new drug treatments for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence [N.I.C.E.]) - Professor Strang is hoping to create more and more involuntary prescription “patients” / addicts by again ensuring that the Government's funded drug “misuse” addiction rehabilitation programme is based exclusively on the prescribing of addictive medical substitution drugs in place of “street” drugs.

But, because this cannot cure addiction, it will not reduce the number of U.K drug addicts and never will.   Quite the reverse.

It will also not reduce the number of deaths by drug poisoning, which have increased by 39% over the last five years.

And, it will definitely not reduce the burden of pharmaceutical drug expenditure on the N.H.S.  Again quite the reverse.

SO MINISTER, please tell me when is someone going to remove the blindfolds from your eyes and the propaganda headphones from your ears, and allow you to quietly talk with people like S.A.F.E., and thus know the truth about the International Narconon® Programme which has been curing addicts of substance addiction for fifty years at 98 centres in 49 countries on a 13 week residential programme and, if you so desire, on a Payment by Results basis.

The only thing wrong with the U.K. drug addiction scene is lack of communication between the right people in government and people - like the writer - who actually DO KNOW how to recover addicts from addiction without administering drugs, on a lasting relaxed abstinence basis and on a viable and economical cost level.

Because of those communication lines having been cut so expertly by black propaganda and condemningly dishonest P.R., most of what Ministers and their Officials "think" they know about addiction recovery and Narconon - is totally misleading and mainly false.

But the truth is available – not far from Westminster – and if you would like to learn more, feel free to phone on (01342) 810151 or 811099 any weekday after 11.00am and before 9.00pm.

Scientology® In The News Again

FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS

If you really would like to be attacked and vilified, blackballed, marginalised, criticised, falsely accused, lied about and ridiculed, etc., etc., 

TRY DOING SOMETHING DECENT !

Such as in 1950 exposing a massively damaging and money-making pseudo-science like “psychiatry”, by at that time introducing a modern science of mental health which actually restores a majority of mental health patients to a normal and healthy life in days and weeks, just by communicating together.

Instead of, like psychiatry, falsely evaluating patient's conditions, prescribing them addictive pharmaceutical drugs for life, or electro-shocking them, or opening up their heads and brains, and delivering “pre-frontal lobotomies” or “leucotomy” operations or “deep sleep” therapy, mainly at taxpayer expense and all with the main goal of quietening the psychiatric patient down !?

And if delivering better mental health is not enough to get you hated by some of the world's largest vested interests, then, 16 years later, research, discover and develop a quick and successful way to rescue a majority of victims of drug and alcohol addiction, by training addicts in a self-help addiction recovery training technology which helps them rescue themselves and continues protecting them for life.

All this seriously upsets pharmaceutical addictive drug producers - and the psychiatrists who prescribe and help market those drugs - BECAUSE EVERY CURED MENTAL HEALTH PATIENT AND EVERY ADDICT RESCUED FROM METHADONE MANAGEMENT THERAPY IS A LOST VALUABLE CUSTOMER OF THE PSYCHO-PHARM MONEY-MAKING FRATERNITY.

And here we have the reasons why L. Ron Hubbard®, Dianetics®, the Technology of Scientology®, Narconon®, Criminon® and the Church of Scientology® have all had to be so carefully and expensively protected over the last 66 years in courtrooms in country after country, against mainly INDIRECT invented accusations but also against DIRECT false reports from psychiatric and pharmaceutical attackers.

But, as ever, and in most parts of the world, right still triumphs over might, and truth prevails over falsehoods, because Man is inherently and basically “good”. (Notwithstanding that psychiatry considers him an animal, saved from the bestiality of the wild only by some mysterious thin veneer of “civilisation”, coming apparently from the Almighty, the existence of which psychiatry also manages mainly to deny.)

To list all such attacks, would require many dozens of volumes of court records, including record after record of Scientology wins after wins mainly based on dismissals of proceedings, withdrawals of accusations or clear proofs of innocence, revealing in case after case to be no more than time and money wasting procedures deliberately intended to discredit and weaken Scientology and its phenomenal expansion over the last half century.

That expansion has come about in spite of massive attacks over 66 years, solely because of the scientific veracity of Hubbard's monumental work and the fantastic personal benefits which members of the Church of Scientology and their families increasingly derive from their studies and other activities.

One massive and continuously prolonged attack started more than 20 years ago in Belgium, when Scientology opened new offices, and later a new Church, in Brussels – basically the Capital of the European Union.  This attack came to an abrupt official end this year on 11 March after a seven week trial in the Belgium High Court.

The news media which earlier had widely reported the original attack, when it came to reporting the result of the trial, were unfortunately too engrossed in covering the Brussels terrorist attacks going on at that same time, to have space to make more than minor mention of Scientology's latest triumph over the well known massive vested interests determined to preserve their failing (but still highly profitable) so-called “mental health management” and “addiction management” activities. (i.e. NOT cures).

After over twenty years of wasted Church and Belgium taxpayer resources, plus Scientology staff and congregation time, money and effort, plus the seven weeks trial, the court ruled that the entire case was a “serious and irremediable breach of the right to a fair trial”, and DISMISSED ALL CHARGES AGAINST THE CHURCH AND INDIVIDUAL SCIENTOLOGISTS.

With this case, and with help from a number of what can only be called “weird” but well funded attack “groups”, the Prosecutor attempted to put the whole Scientology religion on trial, clearly with a view to its destruction, (and it is not difficult to speculate on who or what might have prompted his suicidal action).

But after hearing evidence for seven weeks, the Presiding Judge simply said: “These Proceedings In Their Entirety Are Declared Inadmissible”.

His ruling is in line with the rulings of other Judges around the world and over the years, so that, whilst there may well be other attempts to attack Scientology by wasting its time and money plus the efforts and patience of its executives and staff, the likelihood of these commercial enemies (so often disguised as other “forms” of organisation) actually succeeding in Court - is low.

But such spurious legal attacks are useful in helping the psycho-pharms to go on convincing the politicians who currently support them, but who have the power to actually change the laws AGAINST psycho-pharm policies, AND to change the operational basis for addictive and hypnotic drug prescribing, and in respect of what currently masquerades as “mental health services”.

Psycho-pharm main attack strategy depends in part on the old adage that: “There is no smoke without fire”.   But the chemical industry knows very well how to supply an abundance of smoke – even without there ever being a fire !  Fortunately, in the cold light of court procedure, Judges seem to manage to see quite well - especially through false smoke screens.

In addition, their other attack strategy rests on” “if you throw enough dirt at a wall, some of it will eventually stick”.  But so far the clear sight of the Judiciary in numerous countries has not been able to discover any dirt.

If you would like to know more about Scientology and its increasing successes around the world, phone: (01342) 810151 between 11.00am & 9.00pm any weekday, to receive a free book or to be invited to make an obligation free visit to your nearest Scientology Church and Dianetics Centre, or to a Narconon self-help addiction recovery training centre.

None of the people you will meet look like criminals.

Simply because they are not, and Judges can see this for themselves.
