WHAT A CON AND A DISGRACE !

THE ALL PARTY PARLIAMENTARY

GROUP FOR PRESCRIBED DRUG

ADDICTION IS OPENING A PHONE

“HELP LINE” FOR SUFFERERS

IN PLACE OF THE REAL SOLUTION !

With three million U.K. citizens who are innocent Prescribed Drug Addicts, it is at first sight heartening to learn that the above APPG is reaching out to help them.

But when you examine the list of organisations the APPG has signed up to its “initiative” you find no offer of participation by the only organisations which can actually deliver a cure for existing Prescribed Drug Addiction.

Life spoiling medically induced drug addiction can obviously be “prevented” by stopping the prescribing of addictive drugs.  But it can only be “cured” by managed long term, small dose, step-down gradual withdrawal, based on maximum 5% step-downs at whatever time intervals the patient can comfortably confront.

This however necessitates the provision and easy availability of small doses of all the addictive medical prescription drugs.  All the Benzos, the “C” drugs, the “Z” drugs and the anti-psychotics, etc., etc., etc.

AND WITHOUT AN EASILY AVAILABLE SUPPLY OF THESE SMALL DRUG DOSES, ANY STEP-DOWN WITHDRAWAL WILL INEVITABLY FAIL.

But the pharmaceutical companies don't want to make them for three reasons:

1) They say: “they are both difficult and expensive to make”, and,

2) They say: “they are costly to stock” and “in any event there is no call for them”, but the truth is that

3) Their main concern is that by helping effective withdrawal they will lose a valuable consumer, dedicated to their product by irresistible addiction, and guaranteed paid for by the N.H.S.   A consumer they and their psychiatric running mates have worked long and hard to enrol as a lifelong easy income source.

As a result, without legislation to force the production of small doses suitable for comfortable step-down withdrawal, IT IS NEVER EVER GOING TO HAPPEN !

Is this because the Members of the APPG for Prescribed Drug Addiction are afraid of Big Pharma, or is it because some of them are part of Big Pharma, or is it because some of them rely on pharmaceuticals for part of their income, or is it because some of them value the pharmaceutical industries ?

In essence, it is for all four reasons.

National politicians amongst the APPG members value the employment opportunities and the taxes which the pharmaceuticals provide, and pharma factory bosses never hesitate to frighten local politicians with employee lay-off threats in order to defeat proposals they don't like.

Insofar as psychiatric and psychological APPG members are “pushers” of pharmaceutical drugs or are employed in pharma related jobs, they obviously have no wish to upset the apple-cart by supporting real and positive legislative measures if those measures are unacceptable to their pharma friends.

As a result, because of the above factors, much of the work of this APPG is focussed on pussy-footing around the Prescribed Drug Addiction problem in a manner calculated to look as if they are concerned whilst preserving the status-quo in terms of Big Pharma viability.

In other words it is no more than a P.R. exercise in mutual back-scratching, which will never produce the small doses that three million existing prescription addicts need in order to be able to comfortably withdraw from addiction, and which all U.K. taxpayers need in order to slash the overwhelming size of the N.H.S's huge and unnecessary drugs bills.

"WRONG TARGET" Mr HEALTH MINISTER !

THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE CAN NEVER

IMPROVE WHILST YOU GO ON MISSING THE

REAL REASONS FOR ITS FAILINGS.

You are either stupid, a criminal, or a misguided amateur, and most observers believe the latter, because you and other Ministers have been so beautifully and professionally conned by the world's P.R. and marketing propaganda experts.

Cost of premises, ambulances, nursing staff, doctors, surgeons, furnishings, beds, equipment, utilities, management and administration, etc., have all been blamed for the N.H.S. “needing” more money. But you have only to carefully examine the two wealthiest industries in the world – and why they are so profitable – to recognise the source of our economy's medical financing problems.

The nationwide addictive habit known as “boozing” overloads our A&E Services with dirty, smelly, noisy and undeserving clients every weekend of the year, whilst the increasing prescribing, throughout every year, of Billions of doses of addictive substances to millions of patients, daily drains the Department of Health purse to the point where other vital N.H.S. services have to be robbed in order to pay the pharmaceutical companies for their over-prescribed products !

The real and true problem is: “ADDICTION”, and far from being an “accident”, an unfortunate “side-effect”, a result of “MIS-use” or “AB-use”, its widening growth and usage is part of a deliberate marketing plot calculated to make U.K. Taxpayers pay for the inevitable transgressions of those millions of citizens greedily manipulated by profitable psycho-pharm policies into LASTING ADDICTION.

You can never become addicted to a drug which you never ever take. Simply because it is the consuming of a drug which creates dependency on that drug.

And nobody creates more noise, more loud demand, more crime and more havoc than drug addicts desperate for their next dose !   Especially when the group of professional advisers, who wrote those addicts' original addictive prescriptions, is also the same lying group advising the Government on drug and alcohol addiction.

And look how beautifully simple their scheming is.

Some years ago, with the help of also manipulated ex U.S. President Nixon, they convinced the world to “Make War On Drugs”, and sold the idea to politicians around the world that addiction to illicit heroin is a crime, whilst even stronger more devastating addiction to prescription methadone is a valuable addiction “management” tool we should all be happy to pay for out of our taxes.

Look at that again - and think about it.

They have convinced governments the world over that addiction to a smuggled drug such as heroin is a vicious crime to be attacked in every way possible, BUT that addiction to the same drug, or some substitute such as methadone - WHEN PRESCRIBED BY A PSYCHIATRIST OR OTHER PHYSICIAN – is a valuable “treatment” for exactly the same condition. i.e. lasting life debilitating, costly and similar criminality prompting drug addiction.

And even though every single one of the near 200,000 N.H.S. supplied methadone drug addicts costs the British Taxpayer in excess of £47,000 per year for life (an ever-escalating annual total currently at over £9.4 BILLION) the psycho-pharm fraternity has our naively non-medical politicians falsely convinced that “because psychiatrists pretend addiction is basically incurable” the only way to handle the addiction problem is to make it “legal” – as long as it is prescribed pharmaceutical addiction paid for by the U.K. Taxpayer!

But it doesn't end there.

Sitting in nursing homes, care homes and in their own homes, we additionally have some three million mainly elderly citizens involuntarily addicted to three times a day doses of prescription drugs such as Valium and the other benzodiazepines, the “C” drugs and the “Z” drugs, etc.   All paid for by British Taxpayers.

And for what condition are these millions of patients receiving this multi-daily, expensive and continuous so-called addictive “treatment” ?

FOR NOTHING OTHER THAN MEDICALLY INDUCED DRUG ADDICTION !

This is how it works.

It doesn't matter what the reason is why a 7 day, 3 times a day, prescription is originally written for a patient.  Anxiety, bereavement, loss, shock, depression, etc.  It only matters that - when taken - 21 doses of one of the benzos or other addictive medical drugs will turn a majority of the individuals in our population into an involuntary prescription drug addict.

This means that that addict is daily taking an addictive substance which has two main properties:

1) It quickly relieves the patient's current craving for that drug, and,

2) A few hours later, it re-creates that same irresistible craving for that substance by triggering the same “cold turkey” withdrawal symptoms.

This is the prime example of a “vicious circle”, and the main unique sales proposition which the ruthless marketing of addictive products depends on to create and maintain irresistible demand – whether those products are illicit or legal.

Whatever the diagnostic justification for the addicts' original prescriptions, it is obvious that, when investigated, in 95+% of involuntary addiction cases, that reason no longer exists, and that the only problem the patient presently has is his or her residual and apparently inescapable addiction to a medical drug !

Which the British Medical Association and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain both very quietly admit in their joint B.N.F. “drug prescription bible” - can all be cured - if only they were to provide the essential “step-down” small dose units on which such cures depend.

However, because the psycho-pharms never want to lose this easy addiction driven business, rather than promoting such cures, they resist them.

And because these involuntarily addicted dependants' supplies are paid for by our taxpayers, and because they are long-term daily re-addicted and confused drug addicts, these often vegetative patients apathetically fail to campaign for and demand the cures which could so easily be implemented - given the political will to do so.

BUT GOVERNMENT SHOULD DEMAND THEM.

Not only because countless £Billions of Taxpayer contributed funds are being deliberately diverted to totally unnecessary addictive drug supply, but also because that addiction acts like an ever expanding, heavier and heavier ball and chain which slows and reduces the U.K's productivity and international influence.

Dementia can be prevented and avoided. Depression and other drug “managed” and “treated” so-called mental disorders can all be cured.

But no profit-focussed addictive pharmaceutical drug producer or their prestige focussed psychiatric drug pushers are going to let such turnover reducing activities occur, if they can avoid it. It is therefore going to take tough legislation to force the pharmaceutical producers who create addiction, to also start producing the cures.

Which once again puts out political amateurs up against the highly experienced political lobbying experts who have been winning these battles for decades.  Amateurs who must stay within the bounds of decency, fairness, justice and law and Experts who do not all have those words in their dictionary.

SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE - IF COMMERCIAL GREED

EVER ALLOWS US TO EVEN GET STARTED !

Congratulations Professor Of Psychiatry John Strang. A Truly Profitable Result !

BUT FOR WHOM . . . . ?

AND ONLY IF YOU REALLY DID

INTEND A 39% INCREASE IN DRUG

POISONING DEATHS, WHEN YOU

SET OUT TO KILL OFF THE LAST

GOVERNMENT'S SUPERB 2010

DRUGS STRATEGY WITH YOUR 

PAYMENT by RESULTS “PILOTS” !

LASTING RELAXED ABSTINENCE is the RESULT for which the 2010 government's fabulous Drug Strategy would have given PAYMENT to successful addiction recovery providers if Strang had not managed to get himself put in charge of that strategy's test “piloting” programme, with the intention of seeing it fail.

“Payment by Results” essentially means that the provider of residential addiction recovery services receives up-front remuneration ONLY for an addict's 3 months of bed, board and toiletries, and NOTHING for treatment or training until the passage of time over 3, 6, 9 and 12 months has proved by medical examinations that that addict has been free of addictive substance usage for the relevant period under test.

Since the moment in 2011 when Strang persuaded the then government to let him start a four year “pilot” to test the viability of residential recovery of drug addicts to lasting abstinence - on a “Payment by Results” basis - not only have the number of U.K. addicts rocketed, but the latest 2015 report from the Office For National Statistics also announces a 39% increase in fatal drug poisoning, based on “cause of death” reports on certificates from doctors' across England and Wales.

But even these appallingly bad results are being called into question by regular observers of the drug addiction scene in Britain.

The first reason is because, over the years, it has become very apparent that iatrogenic deaths (i.e. deaths caused by the medical profession) are often under-reported to a marked degree for rather obvious reasons. No physician likes to admit on paper that the medication he or she (or one of his or her practice partners) was prescribing for the patient - is what killed that patient. So the disorder for which they were being prescribed their benzos, opioid pain-killers or other drugs, is naturally most often assigned as “cause of death”, rather than usage of the drugs themselves.

A second reason is the division in politicians' minds which has been cleverly orchestrated by the psycho-pharm fraternity between “addictive ILLICIT drugs” and equally or sometimes more “addictive (and / or hypnotic) LEGAL drugs”.

i.e. The psycho-pharm community have made it appear O.K. to be addicted daily and for life to pharmaceutical drugs, but a similar addiction becomes a serious problem which needs desperate and expensive measures IF, AS and WHEN the substance involved happens to be criminally produced or criminally obtained.

And the desperate and expensive measures the psycho-pharms have persuaded the Government to adopt are: TO TAKE THE ADDICTS OFF THEIR ILLICIT DRUGS AND TO PUT THEM INSTEAD ON TO LEGAL DRUGS PAID FOR BY OUR TAXPAYERS AND PROFITABLY SUPPLIED BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES !

In other words, the psycho-pharm answer to drug addiction, instead of being “CURE IT” - is “LEGALISE ALL ADDICTION” by letting “us” supply each addict with a free supply – paid for by U.K. taxpayers – at our usual profit !

So today, in the age bracket from 16 to 59 the U.K. and Wales together have just over ONE MILLION addicts on a range of illicit drugs including amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine and heroin, etc., some 200,000 legal O.S.T. addicts on legal methadone and / or buprenorphine, and 2.4 MILLION addicts on legal benzodiazepines plus uncountable other old people on addictive opioid painkillers, and school children on behavioural management drugs such as Ritalin and Prozac, etc.

Assuming that the painkiller addicts can have NON-OPIOID painkillers prescribed for them instead, and because more and more parents are learning to say “NO” to A.D.H.D. psychiatric labels for their kids, this still leaves us with at least 2.6 MILLION N.H.S. patients consuming 7.4 MILLION additive drug doses EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR – and usually for life.

And, according to the Government's National Audit Office and University statistics, this costs the N.H.S. (i.e. the U.K. Taxpayers) £11.028 BILLION PER YEAR – EVERY YEAR – for an average of 30 years per addict.

Over that same period, for only £967 MILLION A YEAR (less than 1/10th of all current departmental annual “drug spending”), every single U.K. addict of every type – illicit & legal – can be put through a residential addiction recovery course on a “Payment by Results” basis (proven over 50 years at 98 charitable training centres and prison units in 49 countries) with a success rate of better than 69%.

But what was the result of Professor John Strang's four year “piloting” of Payment by Results at eight very carefully selected rehabilitation centres ?

From his interim report, we know that, instead of test piloting - as one might well have expected - with a selection of eight carefully separated DIFFERENT types of programmes, he chose only two – based mainly on Opioid Substitution Therapy, but which was also occasionally combined with some elements of the Narcotics Anonymous and Cocaine Anonymous “12 Steps” programmes.

Strang has for decades been a long term campaigner for Opioid Substitution Therapy which was quickly and optimistically cobbled together over half a century ago to try and “manage” addiction rather than to cure it.

He therefore knew before he started his “pilots” that it is totally impossible to bring an addict to long-term abstinence by feeding him daily doses of ANY addictive drug, because he knew beyond doubt that one cannot cure a drug addiction with doses of addictive drugs – as it is a contradiction, not only in terms, but also in science and technology.

But he also wanted to “buy time” for his pharmaceutical O.S.T. suppliers as he also knew before he started that if one cannot bring an addict to lasting abstinence THEN one can never deliver the abstinent result for which “Payment by Results” grants payment.

As the senior U.K. Psychiatric Professor promoting pharmaceutical prescribing above all other forms of treatment, addiction rehabilitation and residential recovery, he knew that his PbR “pilots” had to convince Ministers of the following:

1) THAT SUBSTANCE ADDICTION IS “BASICALLY” INCURABLE, and, that when this LIE is accepted, it can therefore hopefully follow:

2) That “Payment by Results” for the residential recovery of substance addicts to the natural state of lasting relaxed abstinence – should be abandoned as (in his opinion) “basically unworkable”, and that government attention should be focussed on “a more rigorous implementation” of the Opioid Substitution Therapy which he, and other psychiatrists and pharmacologists claim to have “proven over years !”, and,

 

3) That, whilst he acknowledges that addicion habt "management" by O.S.T methadone, buprenorphine, naloxone, suboxone and other drugs might not be the perfect answer (because they can never support a Payment by Results system of rewarding effective rehabilitation providers) – “they are the best we currently have Rt. Honourable Ministerial Ladies and Gentlemen”, and we must therefore “obviously drop the understandably preferred “Payment by Results” initiative in favour of continuing prescribed O.S.T.

No one seems sure that Tony Blair should be blamed for the Iraq conflict and if David Cameron should be blamed for the dysfunctional state of Libya today.  But, if we are allocating blame solely to individuals, there is no doubt that psychiatric Professor Sir John Strang is the man most responsible for the level of drug addiction and the mounting number of drug poisoning deaths in the United Kingdom today.

Strang did not include the international 50 year proven Narconon® Programme as one of his four year “pilots”, because he well knew, from Narconon's worldwide statistics, that its residential self-help addiction recovery training programme actually helps addicts to lasting relaxed abstinence in approximately 13 weeks, and so is a valid system for the delivery of addiction recovery on a Payment by Results basis – something he also knew NOT ONE OF HIS PET PHARMACEUTICAL DRUG PRESCRIPTION TREATMENTS COULD EVER ATTAIN.

So to allow Narconon to even be mentioned as a possible viable method of curing substance addiction is, for Strang, a “shot-in-his-foot” action AGAINST psychiatric prescribing and pharmaceutical drug sales.

Instead, across all forms of media and the world wide web, deliberate, totally undeserved, scurrilous and untruthful attacks are daily launched against Narconon and its Founder, in an attempt to slow down its escalating success everywhere – a success based on results and increasing government support in more and more countries.

Let's hope that Mrs May, with her sagacious & penetrating view of affairs in general, will see through the black propaganda directed against Narconon and its Founder -  expressly to keep influential politicians from talking to its executives and staff, and thus learning the truth about recovery from addiction.

This deliberate denial of face to face communication with Narconon is continuously perpetrated in every way possible, because the adoption by the U.K. Government of the Narconon Programme would, by virue of its considerable success, result in a truly massive loss of turnover, bonuses, fees, profits and dividends for psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies.  

(And incidentally also result in a similar massive saving for the National Health Service and U.K. Taxpayers.)
