THE
GENIUS OF PSYCHIATRIC
PROFESSOR
Sir JOHN STRANG.
To
continually succeed, across many decades, IN CONVINCING VARIOUS U.K.
GOVERNMENTS that the prescribing of the licensed
psycho-pharmaceutical system of strong and deadly poisonous ADDICTIVE
DRUGS (known as O.S.T.) can cure addictions resulting from
illegal ADDICTIVE DRUGS consumption, HAS TO BE AN ACT OF GENIUS.
But
NOT in the field of lasting recovery to abstinence from drug
addiction.
QUITE
THE REVERSE !
His
genius lies in his ability to bamboozle Prime Ministers, Health
Ministers, other Ministers, senior politicians, Officials, other
physicians and even the Royal family, and to sell them the downright
LIE: “that drug addiction is incurable”, so that the
Government can be persuaded to go on “managing” addiction instead
of curing it.
And
now, he is at it again, as once more Chairman of the Working
Group of so-called “Independent Members” assembled to give weight
to his current revision of the 2007 CLINICAL GUIDELINES on Drug
Misuse and Dependency, which have for years been stopping the U.K.
Government from effectively handling its increasingly major drug
addiction problems OF ALL TYPES.
His
objective (for the 318 page draft new set of Clinical Guidelines
he is preparing for the National Institute for Health and
Clinical Excellence (N.I.C.E) to release later this year),
is to ensure that those “Guidelines” continue to promote
addictive and / or hypnotic drug production, prescribing and
consumption, as a result of “Habit Management” treatment
practices rather than delivering addiction cures.
To
lend weight to this revised document, Strang is circulating it to a
range of like-minded “Healthcare Professionals and Partner
Clinicians”, calling for them to make consultative comments within
the strict regime of an accompanying “proforma”, which tightly
restricts the nature of any “consultative” responses, and
strictly rules out the submission or even the mention of any
other provably successful addiction recovery programmes leading to
abstinence.
Programmes
which DO NOT prescribe pharmaceutical drugs !
Addictive
pharmaceutical drugs prescribed within the psycho-pharm Opioid
Substitution Therapy system of “addiction management”, were
reported by the National Treatment Agency (now Public Health
England) to deliver recovery to lasting abstinence in less than
3% of cases, and only after long tolerance building usage. Hardly a
viable programme of recovery to lasting relaxed abstinence.
The
12 Steps system of Narcotics Anonymous, used around the world
for many years and still very widely extant, gets no mention
whatsoever from Strang, even though it has a reported
success rate of 20 to 30%, as confirmed by notable figures such as
Lord Benjamin Mancroft, one of our country's few genuine authorities
on rehabilitation, a former Chairman of the Addiction Recovery
Foundation and now a leading representative of Mentor.
Professor
Strang, and his Working Group of so-called “Independent Experts”,
also make no mention of Narconon®
the self-help addiction recovery group of nearly one hundred charity
based training centres (including prison units) in 49 countries,
which has been expanding for 50 years on the basis of a success rate
of 55 to 69+% achievement of lasting relaxed abstinence by its
Students.
There
are of course two reasons why Strang would never mention Narconon:
a) Narconon
does NOT use any pharmaceutical drugs or psychiatric procedures in
its training programme, and,
b) Narconon
“kills golden goose”
customers for
pharmaceutical O.S.T. drug products by regularly curing them of
addiction, and thus reduces the size and profitability of the
psycho-pharms'
“Habit
Management” O.S.T. marketplace.
As
a result, whilst 12 Steps is basically ignored by Strang and his
gang, Narconon is - around
the world - actively
attacked, disparaged, criticised, ridiculed, marginalised, side-lined
and subjected to black propaganda by
psycho-pharms - especially
in political circles and amongst government decision makers and
Officials.
Nevertheless,
Narconon goes on expanding year after year in an increasing number of
countries, where it delivers not only lasting relaxed recovery to
individual addicts, but also training to other rehabilitation groups
in how to train individual addicts in self-help addiction recovery
training, delivering relaxed abstinent recovery.
The
much vaunted “independence” of Strang's “Expert Working Group”
is belied by the composition of that group.
He
himself is the Head of Department of the King's College London
Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, and also from
time to time works with or for various Pharmaceutical companies.
But
with 16 members (over 59%) of his Working Group either Psychiatrists,
Psychologists, Pharmacologists or Mental Health Nurses, how can they
possibly ever be regarded as “independent”. Even the Service
Users, Carers, Doctors, Nurses and other members benefit in some way
from association with the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries.
Even
if he balanced that current membership with a similar sized group of
12 Steps and Narconon qualified members, his insistence on the usage
of prescribed addictive pharmaceutical drugs as part of any so-called
“treatment”, would totally eliminate any chance of any addict
ever achieving recovery to relaxed abstinence.
THIS
OF COURSE REVEALS THE TOTAL LIE WITH WHICH HE PREFACES HIS DRAFT 2016
CLINICAL GUIDELINES.
Namely:
“Our
goal is for dependent drug users to overcome addiction and achieve
abstinence”.
And he gets away with this lie
because he treats politicians and officials contemptuously enough to
expect them to believe that they can go on paying
to feed daily doses of
viciously addictive O.S.T. drugs - such as methadone - to dependent
drug users, and
EXPECT THOSE
ADDICTS TO THUS
BECOME ABSTINENT ! How ridiculously
absurd.
In
fact, it is because
this lie is so absurd that politicians and officials - who
are too often in
awe of medical profession secrets - just cannot believe that
physicians and chemists would ever attempt to mislead them.
But
THEY DO to the extent of at least £12 BILLION POUNDS every year.
YES, ONE BILLION
£POUNDS A MONTH: £33 MILLION POUNDS A DAY ! EVERY
DAY.
That
is what it costs the U.K. Taxpayer, via the N.H.S., to maintain 2.4
Million involuntarily addicted patients on various addictive medical
drugs such as the benzodiazepines, plus 200,000 former illicit heroin
users being “habit managed” on O.S.T. addictive drugs such as
methadone or buprenorphine, etc.
To
be clear – this is a
total of 2,600,000 U.K.
citizens, all daily addicted to viciously addictive and / or hypnotic
medical drugs. Addiction
victims which U.K.
taxpayers are keeping
supplied with one to three drug
doses a day for no
other reason than to keep them using those daily doses solely to earn
fees for the prescribing physicians, fees for the dispensers and
profits for the pharmaceutical producers and
suppliers.
NOT TO CURE THOSE SO-CALLED
“PATIENTS” OF ANYTHING AT ALL. Just to hold at bay the “cold
turkey” effects they
would suffer
if they make any
attempt to withdraw
from their addiction
(i.e. to
stop being a customer)
which can normally be
expected to continue for the rest of their lives.
This whole drugs marketing
set-up is mean, miserable, heartless, callous, life spoiling, life
threatening and even criminal, but as a Fellow of the Chartered
Management Institute and a retired Member of the Chartered Marketing
Institute, I have to say it is truly brilliant, and cleverly
deceitful as well as
unscrupulously
Machiavellian in its concept and application.
TO STOP IT, we have to stop
addiction, and to do that
we have to start by no longer allowing
our Government to abortively
pay for the
supplying
of addictive and / or
hypnotic drugs to
anyone – out of our
taxes.
At the same time, we have to
avoid suffering for our 2.6 million pharmaceutical addicts by putting
them on a small-dose step-down withdrawal programme to wean them off
their addiction over a three to nine month period, at the end of
which they will have recovered to a natural state of relaxed
abstinence.
UNFORTUNATELY, although the
pharmaceutical industry recommends small-dose step-down withdrawal,
by failing to manufacture
and make broadly available the
necessary small doses, it
does not actually
permit that vital
withdrawal to occur.
Simply,
because every comfortably withdrawn patient is no longer a lifelong
addicted consumer reassuringly
funded by the British
Government. THEY ARE
INSTEAD A LOST PROFITABLE PHARMACEUTICAL
CUSTOMER. And
what self respecting
chemical salesman or
M.D. wants that ?
Much of this whole addictive
drugs marketing structure is the work of U.K. psychiatry, led on
numerous occasions and in so many ways by Professor John Strang.
(Basically,
the
pharmaceutical industry's top
Whitehall based sales director.)
Pharmaceutical drug
pushing is the only
actually productive job which most
psychiatrists do,
because psychiatry itself has no real progress whatsoever to
demonstrate in
the field of Mental Health.
In fact, with 200
to 250 thousand prescribed O.S.T. addicts per year, and between
5 and 12 deaths per thousand over the last 5 years – all
as a result of
prescribed methadone consumption - that's AN
AVERAGE OF 2,000
BRITISH DEATHS PER YEAR DURING
N.H.S. O.S.T.
HABIT MANAGEMENT
TREATMENT.
In some American States,
professionals who
regularly and
deliberately supply
killer poisons to customers or patients, are starting to be regarded
as possible murder suspects, with the prescribing psychiatrists being
named as: “Doctors of Death”.
Certainly it reveals
psychiatric Professor
Sir John Strang and his
gang of prescribing fellow
psychiatrists in
a new and more sinister light, which MUST be handled.
But,
how we start to
dismantle this edifice of greed, profit and damaging practices is a
matter for another S.A.F.E.
blog-post.
Right now it is sufficient to
recognise John Strang's influence over the National Institute for
Health and Clinical
Excellence, and the resultant tunnel-visioning of Politicians and
Officials in regard to treatment of addiction with addictive drugs,
instead of residential
self-help addiction
recovery training, which returns an addict to the natural state of
relaxed abstinence into which 99% of the population are born.
At a ONCE
ONLY cost to the
Exchequer of 62% of what it currently costs the Exchequer EVERY
YEAR for the rest
of a methadone prescribed addict's lifetime.
It's the sort of abstinent
recovery bargain which John Strang and
most other psychiatrists want
NO
drug addict ever to have, because that
former
addict would
soon no
longer be using their profitable drug prescriptions.
And for Prof John, that really would be quite a disaster !
