Making a Killing, Part 1
This is the first part of a frightening documentary, but a documentary you need to see.
A user calling him/herself "Truth" asked why the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights would be interested in prescription drugs. This video is the answer.

Who owns the Psychiatric Industry?
Who owns the psychiatric industry? When you see the statistics of how much money the pharmaceutical industry pours into it then the answer becomes obvious: Big Pharma.Here is another article that demonstrates that the psychiatric industry is not there for the benefit of people, but for the benefit of psychiatrists' pet theories and for the profits of Big Pharma: Psych Drug Handbook Written with Drug Industry Ties.
Not surprisingly we find that over 50% of the psychs who are creating the next edition of the "psychiatric bible", the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), receive money from Big Pharma.
Also, as the article points out, The conflicts of interest inherent in the DSM go beyond financial connections to drug companies, Grohol warned."Remember, many of the experts chosen to sit on these committees are the same professionals who have made their livelihood studying these disorders," he said. "Nobody's career is going anywhere if the disorder they've dedicated their life to researching is suddenly downsized or kicked out the DSM altogether."
Read the article and make up your own mind.

Boston Legal Gets it Right!
The Sept 29 episode of TV show Boston Legal really showed the truth about big pharma and their money making activities at the expense of true help. This article on the blog called "Side Effects of Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, Psychostimulants, Hypnotics and More", tells you even more about it: Big Pharma (PhRMA) Hammered on Boston Legal.
Here is one of the best quotes from the show:
Here is one of the best quotes from the show:
Alan, “The fact is the U.S. pharmaceutical industry spends almost twice as much on promotion as it does on research and development. That’s obscene! American television viewers see as much as 16 hours of prescription advertising each year. 16 hours! That’s more time than most people spend at the movies. The fact is that they invent diseases like Social Phobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, to sell mind altering drugs.”Wow! Hollywood gets it right.

Suicide Risk Increases With Medication, Not Just Anti-Depressants
More studies are coming out showing that drugs other than anti-depressants can cause suicide.
Regardless of the purpose for which a drug is prescribed, there is potential for psychiatric side effects if it passes the blood-brain barrier. Drugs for asthma, weight control, quitting smoking, and even certain heart medications may have potential for changing a person’s behavior and mood.Read this article and next time you are prescribed a drug maybe you might wish to explore other, less dangerous, treatments: Suicide Risk Increases With Medication, Not Just Anti-Depressants
Study: Psych Drugs kill 23,000 elderly in the UK every year
Here is an alarming article about a study done in the UK that shows over 23,000 elderly patients are killed by psych drugs administered to "keep them quiet".
These drugs are not only damaging to the brain but they also cause heart attacks and more and according to this study they actually don't help the people they are given to. Isn't it time we stopped drugging our children, elderly and ourselves just so drug companies can make huge profits?
Ballard and colleagues found that Alzheimer's patients who were treated with anti-psychotics had a significantly higher rate of death than those given a placebo. After 24 months of treatment, only 54.8 percent of the anti-psychotic group was still alive, compared with 78 percent of the placebo group. By 42 months, the survival rates had dropped to 28 percent in the anti-psychotic group and 60 percent in the placebo group.Those are frightening statistics. You can read the full story here: 23,000 Alzheimer's Patients Killed Each Year in the U.K. by Psych Drugs.

Prescription Drugs More Deadly Than Cocaine, Heroin, Amphetamines

Here is a startling article about just how deadly prescription drugs can be: Prescription Drugs More Deadly Than Cocaine, Heroin, Amphetamines.
More people die from prescription drugs each year than from cocaine, heroin and amphetamines put together! In fact the medical profession itself estimates that about 100,000 people die each year from "correct" prescriptions but critics estimate that it is much higher (See Death by Medicine for the details).
Hopefully this will make you think twice before blindly accepting the opinion of "authorities" regarding the safety of medical drugs.

More evidence that ADHD is a fake
Just published in the British Medical Journal are the results of a study that shows a clear connection between hyperactivity in children and chemical additives in foods.
Removing junk food from a child's diet is a simple treatment that has no side-effects and plenty of positive effects compared with drugs which have horrendous side-effects such as nervousness, insomnia, anorexia; nausea; dizziness; palpitations; headache, cardiac arrhythmia; abdominal pain etc., etc.
A study by the Montreal Children's Hospital found that after five years hyperactive children who received drugs (either Ritalin or Chloropromazine) did not differ significantly from children who had not received them. Although it appeared that hyperactive kids treated with Ritalin were initially more manageable, the degree of improvement and emotional adjustment was essentially identical at the end of five years to that seen in a group of kids who had received no medication at all.
Of course the big difference between the kids who took no drugs and those that took the drugs was that pharmaceutical companies made no profit from the kids who took no drugs. And the non-drug kids didn't get any of the horrible side-effects.
So why are these drugs used at all if the end result is the same as if the kids took nothing? As the legal profession says "cui bono?" (who benefits?)
