MENTAL HEALTH TRUST 'SPECIAL MEASURES'

HOW TO OFFICIALLY SAY

"WE ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION"

WHILST ACTUALY DOING

NOTHING EFFECTIVE ABOUT IT.

In Britain "SPECIAL MEASURES" are a status applied by regulators of public services to temporarily identify treatment or cure providers who are designated by inspectors as falling short of acceptable result standards.

In the field of Mental Health, one could be forgiven for expecting that an acceptable result would be early and accurate diagnosis of the patient's condition, followed by confrontable non-damaging treatment soon leading to a cure of the patient's adverse condition, and his or her discharge.

BUT NO !

Diagnoses often seem to be either instantaneous and "off the cuff", or, to take some time to be fully recognised, AND, are often revised, indicating no proper and agreed upon yardsticks for evaluation of patients' conditions.

The actual treatment also seems to be a subject for long discussion - and dissension - amongst psychiatric practitioners, varying between, enforced incarceration, Electro Convulsive Shock (ECT), Narcotic Shock (Deep Sleep), invasive pre-frontal Lobotomy and Leucotomy brain operations or - most commonly & increasingly - prescription for many years of multi-daily addictive life controlling and demeaning drug dosages, all paid for by U.K. taxpayers.

Although addiction to illegally procured drugs such as heroin is considered extremely harmful, addiction to equally damaging prescribed equivalents such as morphine, diamorphine and other pain-killers, are not condemned as dangerous ?

And you may well ask "why" ?

When you dig deeply enough, you find that the whole of psychiatric practice is slanted towards eventually providing patients with treatment based on so-called Mental Disorders, for which a majority of patients can be prescribed some form of profitable addictive drug by the manufacturing side of the psycho-pharmaceutical brotherhood.

But this is not safe or even comfortable treatment, because the well over four million N.H.S. patients on addictive medical drugs, in addition to suffering a huge variety of "side-effects" also suffer from devastating "cold turkey" withdrawal effects whenever they attempt to escape the side-effects.

And everyone who has faced "cold turkey withdrawal" well knows that it should

legally be designated for what it is, i.e. "THE INFLICTION OF ACTUAL MENTAL AND BODILY HARM", which is of course a very serious crime !

We should also note that whilst the status of "Special Measures" is assigned to provide improvements in patient safety, reduce serious incidents and reduce unavoidable death events, nothing is said about improving the patients' Mental Health or curing any Mental Disorders except - strangely enough - to say that Special Measures gives trust Executives and Staff "THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM PATIENTS AND FROM PATIENT'S DEATHS".

When questioned as to why such training is necessary, the response of practically all provider employees - especially executives - is: "We can't discuss individual cases or practitioners' decisions".

In many cases Special Measures leads to staff changes at various levels - including the very highest - and in severe cases there can be proposals for breaking down a Trust and reforming it in a different location, with different personnel and other re-organisation.

BUT - NEVER is there recognition of the following fundamental problem.

Namely that psychiatry falsely believes that Man is no more and no less than just another animal - but with a superior "Brain".

They have no recognition of Man's "Mind" or "Soul", both of which are demonstrably possessed by Mankind but NOT by animals.  As a result of which psychiatrists can NEVER EVER deliver a viable and caring modern Mental Health blueprint capable of correct diagnosis and effective handling of Man's Mental Health.

All because psychiatric research is nearly exclusively based on the study of millions of rats, mice, Pavlov's dogs and other laboratory animals.

And even though 300 hundred years ago, a wise Alexander Pope said:

"The proper study of Mankind - is Man".

SO . . . . the only Special Measures which are going to improve the Mental Health sector are: THE PHASING OUT of all animal behaviour based psychiatric, psychological and sociology procedures, training, counselling, diagnoses and treatment, whilst replacing them with modern science of mental health procedures developed by working with, examining and studying men and women who, unlike animals, can actually communicate their thoughts.

Human Beings who, in addition to an animal's Body, Brain and Reactive Mind, possess a much more significant Analytical Mind plus a governing and guiding Soul.

So that whilst psychiatry disagrees with practically every religion on the planet - the modern science of mental health validates the fact that we are - each and everyone of us - our own immortal SOUL.

Shouldn't We Now Start Training Addicts In Lasting Abstinence, Instead Of Just Going On Prescribing Addictive Killer Drugs as “Habit Management” ?

A QUICK, INEXPENSIVE & EASY 

WAY OF TRAINING INDIVIDUALS 

TO PERMANENTLY ESCAPE FROM 

DRUG ADDICTION WAS 

DEVELOPED IN 1966.

IT IS NOW AVAILABLE AT NEARLY 

ONE HUNDRED CENTRES

(Including Prison Units)

IN 49 COUNTRIES.

Why then are so many U.K. addiction rehabilitation workers, 

university researchers and local and national politicians 

DELIBERATELY having the existence of that hugely 

successful self-help addiction recovery training system

hidden from them, or having it falsely condemned ?

Is it in order to justify psycho-pharm pretend research into

 “treatment” of addiction BY DRUG PRESCRIBING ?

Because the reason is definitely NOT because of “RESIDENTIAL SELF-HELP ADDICTION RECOVERY TRAINING” failing to work.

QUITE THE REVERSE.

It is because giving addicts personal knowledge and responsibility for THE CONTROL OF THEIR OWN LIVES takes away their dependency on psychiatric rehabilitation professionals and on prescription habit management “treatments”, and it is that “prescription” component and that on-going “rehabilitation” which certain “addiction workers”, and particularly the pharmaceutical companies backing them, want to see maintained, because they mean psychiatric “fees” for many and huge “profits” for the drug producers. 

And we are NOT here talking about the rehab centre staffs who put in long caring hours to help addicts through their withdrawal and detox problems.  We are talking about the desire of some pharmaceutical drug producers, and their psychiatric allies, to go on profitably producing and prescribing methadone, buprenorphine, disulfiram, naltrexone and Suboxone, etc., and ridiculously pretending that “habit management for life” is “just as good as a cure”.

It was some 45 years ago, in the early 1970s, that a worried government, seeing addictive heroin usage increasing, asked psychiatrists and the pharmaceutical industry for help, in the absurd belief that, because they knew all about drug production and prescribing, they would also know how to to cure addiction.

(Which is just as bad as the equally absurd belief that the manufacturers of the sharpest knives and scalpels will be the best surgeons.)

AS A RESULT, THE PSYCHO-PHARMS DID NOT OFFER AN ADDICTION CURE, AND NEVER HAVE.   In fact they falsely claimed that addiction is incurable and that, as a result, “advised” that the best thing was to “manage” the addict's habit by providing him or her with free supplies of the addictive pain-killer: “diamorphine” (i.e. medical grade heroin).

Problem was, it quickly became clear that, because the effects of a heroin dose last only for 8 hours, three doses a day were required to “manage” each addict, and with the first dose at 8.00am, the next at 4.00pm and the last at midnight, there was a major dispensing problem, because you can never trust addicts with more than one dose at a time, as many will fail to resist taking an extra unscheduled dose, and are thus likely to become an over-dose emergency case and even die.

So the psycho-pharms instead proposed a 1937 German drug “methadone” because,   a) its effects last 24 hours,  b) it thus needs only one dose a day to be dispensed, and   c) one daily dose procedure is less costly and time consuming than three doses.

However, they failed to stress that because the methadone was stronger and longer lasting than heroin, it was also much more dangerous and addictive.

In fact to combat this unwelcome fact, they proposed that, after “maintaining / stabilising” the addict on methadone for a short period, the managing psychiatrist or doctor should put the addict onto “a small-dose step-down programme” over a period of several months, until the prescribed daily dose was small enough for the addict to completely stop using.

Unfortunately, over the years, the government's National Treatment Agency was only ever able to report a 3% withdrawal rate from methadone addiction.

And even that rate of withdrawal is the same as the natural withdrawal rate due to the development of tolerance.

We must therefore face the fact that, if the Government has been conned into accepting the psycho-pharm LIE that “addiction cannot be cured”, then we must continue to pay from Taxpayer funds the more than £47,000 the Government's National Audit Office reports it costs across all government Departments to maintain each and every methadone prescribed addict EVERY YEAR for the rest of their lives !

With approaching 200,000 such prescription addicts, that's a total cost EVERY YEAR of £9.4 BILLION !

And this starts to approach the same amount of money the N.H.S. are over-spending EVERY YEAR.

In fact when you take account of the other 2.4 Million of mainly older NHS patients in their own homes or in care-homes, and add in the £72 Million pounds worth of addictive drugs they are prescribed and dosed with EVERY DAY, you are looking at another £2.6 BILLION EVERY YEAR of wasted Taxpayer funds to add to the above £9.4 BILLION.

A total of £12 BILLION spent every year – NOT ON CURING PATIENTS OF ANYTHING, but spent solely on maintaining them all in a nearly vegetative state of daily addiction.

Yes.  £12 BILLION just on daily maintaining 2.4 Million involuntary addicts plus 200,000 much more costly former illicit addicts.

But this only takes account of the profitable 2.6 BILLION doses a year of pharmaceutical drugs that those 2.4 Million patients consume.  It is without taking account of their food and accommodation costs and the taxpayer paid benefits many of them receive.

Nor are we talking here of the not quite as massive NHS spending on legitimate and effective medication which is another separate set of costs.

We are talking only about £12 BILLION every year of N.H.S. spending JUST ON THE MAINTENANCE OF N.H.S. SPONSORED AND SUPPORTED DRUG ADDICTION.

AND THIS IS THE SOURCE OF ALL N.H.S. OVER-SPENDFING because it CURES NOTHING and is thus ALL WASTE.

It converts our National Health Service into a “National Wealth Service” serving the pharmaceutical industry and the psychiatric profession which pushes and prescribes that industry's products for payment by U.K. Taxpayers.

REMEMBER, WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT RESTRICTING ANY SUPPLIES OF GENERAL MEDICATION.

We are pointing out that supplies of addictive and / or hypnotic pharmaceutical drugs continuously maintain addiction in patients, cure no illness, disease, sickness or habit, achieve nothing else, and yet EACH MONTH cost the N.H.S. and the Taxpayer more than an extra £ONE BILLION POUNDS.

THAT is where the Department of Health, the National Health Service and Public Health England, etc., should be putting their attention.

Especially because the massive savings available would enable the Secretary of State for Health to better recruit and reward Junior Doctors, and to provide so many more resources to other sectors of our Health Service – AND STILL MAKE SAVINGS FOR TAXPAYERS.

But Ministers and Officials don't, and in many ways they can't, because they have for too long been quietly controlled by psychiatric and pharmaceutical advisers both inside and outside of Government.

The totally unnecessary massive spending on addictive and / or hypnotic pharmaceutical drugs which those “advisers” create, is the root cause of all the National Health Service's financial problems, because, in addition to curing nothing, that wasteful spending robs every other part of the N.H.S. and A&E Services of the resources essential to their effective and efficient operation – for the sake of “profit”.

£33,000,000 A DAY !

YES - THIRTY-THREE MILLION POUNDS A DAY – EVERY DAY !

One would expect that a live-wire Secretary of State for Health would have spotted this daily haemorrhaging of cash, because his post is concerned mainly with financial matters.

In fact he might have spotted it BUT, because he is skilled neither in doctoring nor in medication, he does not see the difference between a patient with a medical problem and an addict with a prescription problem, and instead continues to believe the profitable lies his friendly psychiatric and pharmaceutical advisers tell him !

Interestingly enough, some American States are now treating drug dealers who supply heroin doses which end up in a drug-overdose death as murder suspects.

But in the U.K., over the last five years, between 5 and 12 deaths per thousand as a result of prescribed methadone have been recorded. With between 200,000 and 250,000 a year of N.H.S. patients on methadone in that period, that's somewhere between 1,000 and 3,000 British addict deaths PER YEAR whilst IN N.H.S. TREATMENT !

That's more than deaths from heroin overdosing, but whilst the heroin deaths might increasingly be regarded as murders, the methadone deaths are probably better regarded as psychiatric executions in pursuit of pharmaceutical profits.

BUT A PROVEN PROGRAMME OF SELF-HELP ADDITION RECOVERY TRAINING, EFFECTIVE IN PROCURING LASTING ABSTINENCE IN 69+% OF CASES, HAS BEEN WIDELY KNOWN TO CURE BOTH HEROIN AND METHADONE ADDICTION, AT NEARLY 100 CENTRES IN 49 COUNTRIES, STARTING IN 1966 – 50 YEARS AGO !

As a result, those thousands of psycho-pharm methadone poisonings must now be regarded as a callous sacrifice of British addicts lives - solely to enhance psychiatric fee incomes and pharmaceutical profits.

IS THIS REALLY BRITAIN TODAY ?
