The Prime Minister Is Absolutely Right:

THE MENTAL HEALTH SECTOR

AND PSYCHIATRY

ARE BADLY IN NEED OF

 

TRULY MASSIVE OVERHAUL

Following Mrs May's recent speech, there can no longer be any doubt that the mental health sector needs a very long delayed overhaul.

And the main factor signalling this is: the totally appalling results being delivered in that sector by psychiatry.

Psychiatry has been “officially” in charge of making sure that our citizens are mentally healthy since the formation of the N.H.S. in 1948, and it is significant that, since that time, mental health statistics have done nothing but steadily get worse and worse and worse and worse.

NOT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE

ARE BECOMING MENTALLY ILL !

But for two other main reasons.

1) Because psychiatry is “diagnosing” more and more of our population as “mentally ill”, by defining an increasing number of normal everyday behaviour patterns as a mental “disorder”, thus labelling an increasing number of children, the elderly and other adults as “in need” of mental health treatment and care.

All in order to sell more and more profitable but spurious “treatments” based on addictive drugs, sectioning, Electro-Shock and Narcotic Shock “treatments”, as well as pre-frontal lobotomies, leucotomies and other unproven brain surgery.

2) And patient numbers are also increasing because none of these individuals labelled as mental patients are getting what you, I, the man-in-the-street and the Prime Minister would properly regard as “cured” !

(i.e. No longer in need of or receiving further treatment or care.)

There is no doubt that an individual experiencing mental or emotional difficulties does need help, but psychiatric “treatments”, involuntary addiction, enforced detention and various shock “therapies” have consistently proved likely to make a patient “much quieter”, suicidal or even to run amok with a gun or knife.

But, however, NOT CURED. 

 

As a result, the worldwide Citizens' Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) founded 48 years ago in 1969, is committed in the U.K. to:

* Helping those professionals who, instead of simply prescribing drugs or harmful invasive treatments, seek out and address underlying causes, the vast majority of which are in no way related to psychiatric theories or practices.

* Helping the Government to reduce N.H.S. overspending by exposing current massive mental health wastage.  At present, so-called Mental Health Disorders receive the largest share of the N.H.S. Budget (£11.2 BILLION PER YEAR) despite the fact that psychiatrists admit they have no cures for their patients.

* Ensuring that the facts are available to lawmakers to help them to stop the involuntary addicting of three million or more members of our population (as well as the drugging of others), plus the removing or destroying of parts of the brain via surgery and electric shocking of the elderly, pregnant women and even children, in addition of course to other men and women.

* Campaigning for jail sentences and major financial penalties for those who cause the deaths of their patients on psychotropic drugs, and for those who supply, sponsor or prescribe such deadly drug substances.

* Stopping the automatic screening, labelling and diagnosing of “mental disorders” listed solely on the “voting in” of mental criteria by Members of the American Psychiatric Association followed by some international psychiatrists

Approval of Drugs for Human Consumption:

Drugs are being “approved” and enter the market with 'approved for use' based upon as little as only two “good results” from trials.  Often numerous trials will be commissioned (and re-commissioned) until there are two sets of results available which can be used for approval of psychotropic drugs.  Rarely are long term studies done to show the damage or lifelong problems caused by the drugs.

More investigations need to be done in pursuit of legislation to control this situation, but care must obviously be taken to ensure that psychiatric and pharmaceutically orientated professionals are not in control of such investigations.  (N.B. the A.C.M.D. [Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs] is of course such a professional group overwhelmingly controlled by Psychiatrists and Pharmacists.)

Apart from invasive “treatments”,

Drugs have been made the First and nearly exclusive Mental Health Solution:

Today there is a psycho-pharmaceutical mental health monopoly which attacks and seeks to destroy any and all other possible solutions to mental health problems.

This monopoly advocates mental health “screening” (i.e. actively seeking behavioural patterns which the monopoly can label as mental disorders) to justify early treatment of children with psychotropic drugs which have the potential to increase violence, aggression, suicides and death.   Children also receive electro-shock “therapy”, which destroys healthy memory and results in the early death of those receiving it.

When other viable and successful non-psychiatric solutions are offered, doctors and other practitioners are often met with character assassinations by the pro-monopoly media.  Their jobs are threatened, their studies do not get published in peer review journals or they find they cannot obtain research funds needed to show the effectiveness of their work.

Committals are far too easy under the new criteria for detention, which utilises Community Treatment Orders, (CTOs)  This is the procedure which was originally designed for the “few hundred” patients who were deemed extremely dangerous to themselves and others.

However, as predicted, the usage of CTOs has now become so commonplace, that thousands of patients are today being threatened with incarceration whether they have committed a crime or not IF they refuse the drugs that they recognise are making them worse rather than better.  Psychiatrists have become jailers to huge amounts of people merely for not complying with instructions to consume drugs which they totally believe are making them worse.  And this arises just because the psychiatrists literally have no other actually workable solution available.

The Psycho-Pharm Profit Advantages of Early Intervention with

Mental Health Screening:

A child committed to psychotropic drug usage at 6 years of age is a client vastly preferred by the psycho-pharmaceutical fraternity over an adult starting as late as 18 or 25 years of age.  Six and eight year olds deliver ten years MORE of profitable psycho-pharm business than a 16 or 18 year old.   Which is 3,650 more doses paid for by the NHS, if the prescription is for only one dose a day.

But it is most likely to be three times a day, which is 10,950 more doses paid for by the NHS, and of course the British Taxpayer.

If the patient examining, diagnosing and prescribing cost is only £1.00, plus the dispensing cost and plus £1.00 for the drug supplying cost, and together these costs are only as low as £3.00 (which of course is impossibly low) then a 10 year earlier screening intervention is a “nice little earner” for the pharmaceutical supplier of £10,950, plus relative amounts for the prescribing psychiatrists and the dispensing chemist's shop.

BUT THAT'S FOR ONLY JUST ONE CHILD !

Three times every day Ritalin (methylphenidate), which psychiatrists prescribe for ADHD, is currently received by some 800,000 U.K. children, and if only 20% of them were screened and “diagnosed early” (i.e. between the ages of 6 and 10), that's £1.752 BILLION MORE being paid out by the N.H.S. because of early intervention screening of young children for so-called mental disorders.

But hold on.   That's just in respect of Ritalin prescribing.   Also being prescribed by psychiatrists for ADHD are Dexamfetamine, Lisdexamphetamine, Atomoxetine and Guanfacine.

And of course they are also prescribing for many more so-called “mental conditions” IN ADDITION TO psychiatrically invented ADHD.

As a result, the above £1,752 BILLION of extra cost to the N.H.S. created by early intervention screening of children is likely double that figure.

And About Psycho-Pharmaceutical Results:

Although both psychiatry and their pharmaceutical running mates operate under a heavy veil of secrecy, we know from reports sent in to CCHR and others by disappointed and often damaged or severely injured patients (as well as some who have been sexually assaulted by their psychiatrist) that psychiatric treatments, including those based on psychotropic pharmaceutical drugs – JUST DO NOT WORK to deliver a cure in more than a very few lucky cases.

This is not only true of so-called mental disorder treatment, but also true of other psychiatric drug based therapies and treatments such as methadone and / or Subutex described as Opioid Substitution Therapy for drug addiction, which merely swaps an illegal drug for a medical drug supplied by the N.H.S and paid for by U.K. Taxpayers.

Psychiatric results were going down hill fast, until some 6o years ago when the pharmaceutical industry saw an opportunity to add the “treatment” of mental disorders to their physical health business, which had been blossoming since moving more and more to palliative dosing of symptoms, instead of seeking causes such as allergies, dietary deficiencies and excesses, hidden poisonings and injuries, etc., and also instead of then curing the causes.

WHY ?

Because the pharmaceutical version of a Health Service is palliative relief of symptoms by prescription treatment, because that way pharmaceutical producers seldom lose a patient by curing them, and so their business can only grow and grow and grow.  ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PATIENTS ARE NOT PAYING FOR THEIR 1, 2 OR 3 TIMES A DAY MEDICATION !

There is no incentive for either psychiatrists or pharmaceutical producers to cure anyone of anything !   Quite the reverse, because a cured patient is a lost client.

And when it comes to recognising illness, whilst we can all spot most physical problems, the defining (or more accurately – the invention) of mental disorders, is entirely in the hands of psychiatry, which is why the wealthy pharmaceuticals give so many “research grants” and other encouragement to psychiatric training institutions and support the training of increasing numbers of third world psychiatrists, whose considerable populations they look forward to supplying with more and more psychotropic drugs for more and more so-called mental disorders.

Drug addiction is not and never has been an accident.  It is part of a deliberate policy to create long term irresistible cravings for, and buyers of, addictive products – either from illegal or from legal suppliers – by handing out initially free samples or free prescriptions – because you can never become addicted to a drug which you never ever take.

But similar things are also true of Mental Disorders, vast numbers of which have been invented or exaggerated solely in order to justify psychotropic drug treatment – the prescribed products for which are mainly addictive or habit forming, and thus provide continuous massive profits and fees for pharmaceutical producers and psychiatrists.

DRUG ADDICTION AND INVENTED MENTAL DISORDERS TOGETHER ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF EVERY PROBLEM OUR “DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH” AND OUR “NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE” HAVE.

And neither of these situations are “an accident”.   They are as a result of cold calculated, deliberate policies initiated in the early 1900s by Rockefeller and Carnegie when they took over from the American Medical Association the training of all American medical doctors, with the intention of expanding their agricultural and industrial chemical industries into the pharmaceutical medical sector.

But that's another story – or would be if, as part of their extremely clever strategy, they had not also decided that all other forms of healing should be sidelined, marginalised, criticised, ignored, demoted, dumped, knocked, avoided, neglected, struck down, debarred or otherwise invalidated to ensure their lack of appeal to both public and professionals as well as political opinion and decision makers.

As a result, the truth stares us in the face today.

Striking junior doctors, nursing and other medical staff shortages, skilled surgeons seeking better employment abroad, overwhelmed A&E Departments, and a constant pleading for more and more Taxpayer money to pay for more and more addictive psychiatric drugs for the increasing numbers of permanent lifelong patients who are not getting cured, because that is no longer an N.H.S. target, because it is not a psycho-pharmaceutical goal !

ENROLLING PATIENTS TAKES TIME AND IS EXPENSIVE.

THEREFORE, FOR A PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCER

A FULLY CURED PATIENT IS A LOST PROFITABLE CLIENT.

MEANING THAT, FOR PSYCHO-PHARMS,

LONG TERM TREATMENT IS BETTER BUSINESS THAN CURING !

AND REMEMBER:

A NEVER ENDING DEMAND FOR MORE & MORE & MORE MONEY

- FROM AN ADDICT OR FROM A NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE -

IS A MAJOR INDICATOR OF ADDICTIVE DRUG CONSUMPTION.

You Cannot Become Addicted To A Drug Which You Never Use

BECAUSE IT IS THE

USE

OF DRUGS

WHICH ALONE CREATES

 ADDICTION.

Not misuse, abuse or a psychiatrically invented so-called

“addictive personality”.    Just straightforward USE !

The Home Office is likely the busiest, hard-working and most wide ranging U.K. government Department, covering, as it does, a majority of our home affairs and the protection of all our citizens against a variety of every day threats.

(Which incidentally is why many observers consider that the Home Office experienced Theresa May may well emerge as one of the best Prime Ministers we have ever had).

As a consequence, in order to cover policing, fire prevention, probation, prisons, addictive drug distribution and usage, border control, immigration, terrorism, alcohol strategy, crime reduction and prevention, etc., Home Office staff work with 28 different agencies and public bodies which are expected to be independent, expert, sometimes executive and occasionally advisory.

Into the latter category falls the ACMD (Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs), which carefully and cleverly fails to address more than one-third of the country's addiction issues, and thus avoids blaming Council members or their industry colleagues for their part in the acceleration and growth of addiction in this country.

Unfortunately, whilst it is clearly great on “advice”, the ACMD is neither independent nor expert, and in its published “Work Programme”, basically misses the point in respect of WHAT THE COUNTRY REALLY NEEDS. Which is:

1) to actually REDUCE and AVOID the increasing devastating scourge of addictive drug usage of every sort, and consequent debilitating addiction, which attacks the economy, the life of the community and that of the individual and his or her family, and,

2) to RECOVER victims of substance addiction to the natural state of relaxed abstinence into which 99% of them were born, thus also salvaging the economy.

Even the very title: “Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs” tells us that the Council is not expected to actually achieve very much, and is not truly independent.

This is because psychiatric & pharmacological professionals, in order to avoid any blaming of the psycho-pharmaceutical fraternity's practices & products, have for decades been successfully accusing drug USERS (rather than the drugs) for causing their own addiction by so-called “misuse” and “abuse”. So the ACMD membership is in no way independent of their employers.

Significantly, over half the membership of the ACMD is comprised of pharmacologists and psychiatrists, the very professionals responsible for researching, inventing and MANUFACTURING ADDICTIVE DRUGS AND PRESCRIBING THEM.

SO LET US BE VERY CLEAR – BY DIFFERENTIATING PROPERLY.

The ACMD carefully advises ONLY on illicit drugs, because it is their professions which are responsible for the 2.4 MILLION involuntary LEGAL drug addicts they have already created in the U.K., and which they have no wish to cure (or even advise on or discuss) because it is those sales – via the N.H.S. and paid for by the U.K. taxpayer – which are their profitable addiction produced daily bread and butter.

And those 2.4 Million addicted patients are in addition to the millions of other N.H.S. patients who also gratefully receive doses of useful and non-addictive pharmaceutically produced and G.P. prescribed medicines, which are daily and helpfully dispensed to U.K. patients.

In other words, EVERY DAY, an additional SEVEN MILLION OR MORE PER DAY of ADDICTIVE pharmaceutically produced drug doses also go down the throats of N.H.S. psychiatrically labelled and prescribed “mental health” patients living at home or in care.

But if the involuntarily addicted are “patients”, for what condition are they being treated?  And the only honest answer is: “They are having their involuntary addiction “managed”  (i.e. the addiction which mis-prescribing inflicted upon them in the first place).”

And here we have the real MISUSE of drugs, because addictive drugs were never intended to be used as a means of ensuring basically automatic daily sales of well over seven million profitable doses each and every day for the rest of those patients lives – just to ensure a continuing market for profitable psychiatrically prescribed pharmaceutical products – usefully (from the suppliers' viewpoint) paid for in bulk by U.K. taxpayers, not by the individual patients.

Neither the Department of Health nor the N.H.S. are capable of curing drug addiction, a fact which is proven by their dedication to the commissioning of “providers” to “rehabilitate” (not cure) addicts, or just to “manage” their addiction.

Which activities seldom result in the production of lasting relaxed abstinence.

Yet the ACMD continues to lure the Home Office into the false belief that illicit drug usage is the WHOLE addiction problem, and that LEGAL MEDICAL drug usage should be ignored, because "that" is Department of Health business !

As a result we have a massive hole in our addiction policy.  Note that.  In our ADDICTION policy – not DRUG policy.  Because it is not medication which is the problem.  It is ADDICTIVE AND HYPNOTIC DRUG PRODUCING AND PRESCRIBING which is the problem, and whilst the producers know a lot about making drugs, they know absolutely nothing about addiction and how to cure it.

Expecting the manufacturers of drugs to know how to cure addiction, is like expecting the manufacturers of razor-sharp scalpels to be the best surgeons, or the manufacturers of bullets to be the best marksmen !

Drug addiction, and the damaging conditions it inflicts on the society, the economy and on individuals is a bigger problem than terrorism, because terrorism actually depends on addictive drug usage for much of the development and control of its “warriors”.

Committing a hapless individual to a life of addiction is a vile crime, when the pusher is a criminal looking for a quick buck.

But, persuading an individual that he can “solve his problem” with an addictive drug is the same crime, even when the pusher is a professional adviser, and especially when that psychiatrist or other physician knows full well that it is the usage of that drug over only a very short period which is, in the vast majority of cases, going to make that patient into a drug dependent addict for life.

The pharmaceutical producers know this, and ENOUGH OF THEM USE THIS FACT TO MAXIMISE THEIR SALES AND PROFITS, AND SO ARE JUST AS MUCH CRIMINALS AS THE ILLICIT GROWERS AND SMUGGLERS.

However, they are not regarded as part of the massive addiction problem on which the Home Office SHOULD be taking genuinely independent advice in an effort to reduce the threat to the U.K's population posed by addictive behaviour.

Far too many politicians and civil servants, and especially the Home Office, still seem to be blind-folded and ear-plugged on this subject, so that more and more policy-makers need to recognise the direction in which addiction is inevitably taking our families and communities, and become aware that:

* Addicts cause the most accidents at work.

* Addicts mug and rob old people.

* Addicts and drunks cause most road accidents.

* Addicts sell drugs to children (and others).

* Addicts increase the numbers of prostitutes and

‘toy-boys’ in our towns,

* Addicts disrupt our schools, the education of our

children and the life of our communities,

* Addicts bankrupt businesses and destroy jobs.

* Addicts break into and burgle peoples' homes.

* Addicts spread HIV, AIDS and hepatitis.

* Addicts waste our tax money and other resources.

* Addicts and drunks commit the most crimes,

* Addicts (even if involuntarily addicted) cause a bigger
                                  drain on the N.H.S, than any other set of patients,

And addicts are undoubtedly the real current threat to our lives and to everybody’s future. (And that includes addicts on illicit, legal, licensed and prescribed drugs.)

This is because their addiction controls them, and THIS AFFECTS EVERYBODY,

EVERYONE’S FAMILY, EVERYONE’S INCOME, EVERY JOB, EVERYONE’S HEALTH AND EVERYBODY’S HOME !

It therefore follows that in a country like the U.K., its Home Office, which claims responsibility for protection of the population and its future wellbeing, should be the Department which enforces on all other Departments those policies that:

1) reduce the number of individuals starting on drug usage, by providing effective addiction prevention and usage avoidance training, and,

2) those policies which provide effective cures for existing drug addicts, including recovery to the natural state of relaxed abstinence into which 99% of the population is born.

Without these policies being widely and effectively implemented the Government will inevitably continue to create a nation where the majority of its citizens will eventually become addicts, and thus all eventually be bio-chemically controlled zombies.

Even if there were no existing cure for drug addiction, the above indicated current government attitude towards addictive drug production and prescribing would NOT be of any use to a society which needs and wants to be addiction free - unless factions within our Government covertly seeks population control by drugging ??

But there has been a sure cure for drug addiction for over 50 years which, via black propaganda, covert attacks, criticism and ridicule, etc., international psychiatry and pharmaceutical interests have been determinedly trying to have shut-down and made unbelievable and unapproachable for 66 years.

Nevertheless one residential self-help addiction recovery TRAINING programme has been expanding across the world since 1966, and today has nearly a hundred centres (including prison units) in 49 countries.  But the ACMD doesn't want representatives of that programme advising the Home Office, because the harsh light of truth they would shine on the U.K. addiction problem, “would not be good for the business of psycho-pharm interests.”

Unsurprisingly, one professional acquaintance, whose application to join the ACMD was refused, said that, in his experience and opinion, the initials more accurately stood for All Completely Misleading Delegates !

The Professor's Actions Speak Louder Than His Words.

FROM THE “U.K. DRUG POLICY COMMISSION” WEBSITE:

PROFESSOR JOHN STRANG: (Former Member of the Commission)

* John Strang is the Director of the National Addiction Centre (Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College, London) where he leads the multidisciplinary research activities including treatment studies, investigations of non-treatment samples, studies of overdose risk and analyses of public policy.

* He is also Clinical Director of the Drug, Alcohol & Smoking Cessation Services of the London & Maudsley NHS Trust and a member of the EMCDDA Scientific Committee, specifically responsible for methodological issues.

* He has worked in the addictions field for 25 years, in statutory and non-statutory settings, as trainee and trainer, as clinician as well as researcher, and in policy formation as well as practitioner capacity.

* In his capacity as Consultant Advisor to the Department of Health, he chaired the Working Group which prepared the “Orange Guidelines” published in 1999 by the UK Departments of Health, and chaired the NTA / DH Working Group (2002 / 2003) which prepared guidelines for the recommended new specialist modality for future injectable heroin and methadone prescribing in the UK. [i.e. prescribed addictive drug usage.]

(End of the UKDPC Biography)

Strang is acknowledged by others as also a tireless worker in the pharmaceutical marketing field, and as a leading authority consulted by Government in respect of research, drug addiction policy & prescribing.

For 20 years, he has posed as, and also been wrongly assumed by many to be, THE U.K. authority on addiction, and recently continued (in the running of his failed Payment by Results “Pilots”) to strongly and exclusively promote the prescribing of useless, failed and addictive medical substances as “treatment” to “rehabilitate” addicts.

But, the carefully hidden truth is that HE ACTUALLY IS the U.K. authority on the CREATION (not the cure) OF LIFELONG ADDICTION of millions of U.K. N.H.S. patients and thousands of illicit recreational drug users.

Such pushing of addictive drugs to impossibly “treat” addictive drug use is why his methods, whilst selling psychiatric services and pharmaceutical products IN DAILY HIGH VOLUME, claim a less than 3% success rate in actually bringing addicts to abstinence – coincidentally the same rate as natural quitting with ageing !

Whilst around the world, some 98 self help recovery training centres (inc. prison units) in 49 countries have for 50 years brought 55 to 69+% of addicts to lasting relaxed abstinence, Strang’s Opioid Substitution Therapies DO NOT and CANNOT ever actually cure, because their intention is to “manage” continuing addiction on a basis which creates profitable daily sales of pharmaceutical drug products to MILLIONS of addicts - ALL PAID FOR BY U.K. TAXPAYERS !

IN SPITE OF THE ABOVE BIOGRAPHY OF IMPORTANT SOUNDING APPOINTMENTS, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT JOHN STRANG, HIS PSYCHIATRIC METHODS OR HIS MEDICATIONS HAVE EVER DIRECTLY CURED ANY ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE USER OF CONTINUING ADDICTIVE USAGE.  AND THIS IS BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HIS GOAL.

As indicated repeatedly (by Jim Dobbin, MP, former Chairman of the All Party Group on Involuntary Tranquilliser Addiction, and just as often by Barry Haslam, a long-term sufferer from John Strang's methods and medication, and never denied by Professor C. Heather Ashton, Britain's great practical campaigner against involuntary addiction) John Strang's main goal is NOT the curing of addiction to illegal or legal drugs, but is the promotion of prescription drugs of an addictive and hypnotic nature to the hugely profitable benefit of the pharmaceutical industry which Strang serves far more than he serves our Government or our peoples.

AND NOW, OF ALL THINGS, WE HEAR THAT 10, DOWNING STREET PROPOSED STRANG FOR A KNIGHTHOOD IN THE MOST RECENT BIRTHDAY HONOURS LIST ! ! !

If our recently retired Prime Minister, for whom I have always had the greatest respect, personally and freely chose to honour the psychiatric professor who, nearly single-handedly, created more U.K. drug addicts than Roger Howard, DrugScope, the UKDPC, the NTA, the ACMD and Mike Trace put together - then David Cameron is regrettably headed for a similar miserable post P.M. reputation to that now enjoyed by Tony Blair as reward for his mistakes.

The Strang award is listed as being, amongst other doubtful achievements: “FOR SERVICES TO ADDICTIONS”.

But that only makes sense if David Cameron wanted an increasingly addicted population, which I cannot believe.

So then it raises the question of: “What did Psychiatric Professor John Stanley Strang actually DO FOR David Cameron ?”, and here again, my faith in David leads me to believe that he was seriously misled by some psychiatric or pharmaceutical biased or paid adviser amongst his senior staff members.

And if that is the case, then it is essential that psychiatrically and pharmaceutically biased or bought officials or other advisers in a position to influence the Prime Minister be kept well away from 10, Downing Street, because Theresa May's own straightforward character deserves honest advice and information upon which to base her vital decisions.
