Psychiatric Watchdog Speaks Out About Tom Cruise

Speaking Out; Warns

About National Crisis of Child-Drugging with 'Kiddy

Cocaine' and

Suicide-Inducing Antidepressants;

 

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a

psychiatric watchdog

group, said Tom Cruise's remarks on NBC's Today Show

(Friday, June 24)

represent a growing public awareness about the

national crisis of

children and adults being prescribed mind-altering

drugs. More than 8

million children in the United States now take these

drugs; millions

more abuse them. Today the group released a White

Paper on " Common

Psychiatric Drugs and Their Effects " that educates

people about the

physically and mentally damaging effects of

psychotropic drugs that are

often prescribed for a " chemical imbalance " medical

experts say doesn't

exist.

 

Accompanying this is a video documentary on the

group's website,

http://www.cchr.org, that includes prominent doctors,

neurologists and

psychiatrists debunking the hoax of mental disorders

being physically

based or the result of a chemical imbalance.

 

" The paper provides information that psychiatrists are

not going to

tell

people, enabling them to make an informed choice, "

CCHR's international

president, Jan Eastgate said. She slammed the American

Psychiatric

Association (APA) and affiliated mental health

organizations that tout

false statistics to the media about the number of

Americans suffering

from " mental illness " which she said is a fraudulent

misrepresentation.

 

Ms. Eastgate said, " The Today Show interview was a

warning that people

need to study psychiatry and its purported research

rather than

accepting at face value concepts such as a chemical

imbalance in the

brain is causing their problems, which can deny them

real help. In any

media interview with a psychiatrist he should be asked

what lab test he

uses to determine this. There isn't one. "

 

The " chemical imbalance " theory, popularized by

marketing, is " no more

than psychiatric wishful thinking, " the group's U.S.

president, author

and former educator, Bruce Wiseman says. " It has been

thoroughly

discredited by researchers, doctors and scientists.

The only reason it

exists is that it makes it easier for psychiatrists to

drug vulnerable

and often desperate individuals. It is driven by more

than billion in

drug sales each year. "

 

Appearing in CCHR's video is Dr. Julian Whitaker,

author and founder of

the highly respected Whitaker Wellness Center in

California, who says

that psychiatry is a pseudoscience. " There's no

pathology. There's no

blood test. There's no lab test. There's no x-ray.

Psychiatrists list

out and vote on clusters of behavior and call them a

disease. They are

giving drugs to millions of people who do not have a

defined medical

problem. "

 

Also interviewed is New York psychiatrist Ron Leifer

who says, " There's

no biological imbalance. When people come to me and

they say, 'I have a

biochemical imbalance,' I say, 'Show me your lab

tests.' There are no

lab tests. So what's the biochemical imbalance? "

 

Based on this false theory, millions of people have

fallen prey to

psychiatric treatment: stimulants and antidepressants

have induced

teenagers to go on murderous shooting sprees (8 out of

13 school

shootings, such as the Columbine High School shooting

in 1999, were

committed by teens on psychiatric drugs). Mothers on

these drugs have

killed their children or cut off the arms of their

baby while taking

these drugs. Electroshock-the firing of up to 460

volts of electricity

across the temples-is damaging the brains of over

100,000 Americans

every year.

 

Because of the influence of psychiatry in the nation's

schools,

hundreds

of parents have also been forced to place their

children on

psychotropic

drugs as a requisite for their education, an abuse

CCHR and others

countered with congressional support last year. The

Prohibition of

Mandatory Medication amendment now prohibits this

practice.

 

For 14 years, CCHR has also worked with parents and

concerned groups to

expose the violence and suicide-inducing effects of

antidepressants.

Last October, the Food and Drug Administration ordered

a " black box "

label for antidepressants that the drugs could cause

suicide. But these

reforms are not enough to curb what CCHR says is a

" national crisis " of

child drugging and psychotropic drug abuse.

 

The International Narcotics Control Board says that 80

percent of the

world's Ritalin consumption is in the United States.

This is a drug

that

medical studies show can predispose children to later

cocaine use

because Ritalin and cocaine derive from similar

chemical properties. A

study of 500 children over 26 years by researchers at

the University of

California at Berkeley found that Ritalin is basically

a " gateway drug "

to other drugs, in particular cocaine. A recent survey

by the

Partnership for a Drug-Free America found 10 percent

of teens abuse the

stimulants Ritalin and Adderall. Between 1995 and

1999, the use of

antidepressants increased 580 percent in the under-6

population and 151

percent in the 7-12 age group.

 

In some communities, 20 percent of children are taking

stimulants,

according to Drug Enforcement Administration

pharmacologist Gretchen

Feussner. " That should be a wake-up call that

something isn't right, "

Feussner said.

 

" Psychiatrists are society's biggest drug pushers, "

Wiseman says.

" People do suffer from serious mental difficulties or

life- crippling

problems and their methods of coping with this can

fail. Psychiatrists

exploit this, marketing drugs for conditions they

admit they do not

know

the cause of or can cure. Fraud involves intentional

deception or

deliberate misrepresentation to secure money, rights

or privilege.

Americans are waking up to this psychiatric fraud. "

 

The group's White Paper, " Common Psychiatric Drugs and

Their Effects, "

and other website publications warn people that they

should not stop

taking psychiatric drugs unless it is under medical

advice and

supervision. They stress the need to find competent

medical (not

psychiatric) doctors who can do thorough physical

examinations to

determine what could be underlying and causing

emotional problems.

Good info Kel. I am getting caught up again and realize you posted this a couple of weeks ago.

 

My son was on Ritalin for 11 years. He hated it. I was thrilled to discover an ADHD protocol of nutrition had been developed with my own First Fitness supplements. I took Jason off Ritalin (without his doctor's advice, because I knew what the doctor would say!) and put him on the nutrition protocol. The progress he made with the nutrition was astonishing. I will write that out in a story when I have time and post it. Today, at age 22, Jason talks to everyone he can about getting kids off of drugs and on nutrition. We both push the nutritional protocol as much as possible to doctors, parents and anyone else who will listen. I urge everyone who has an interest to look at the website: www.ritalindeath.com. It is horrifying to think this could have happened to my own child. Thanks again, Kel, for this very important info. We have created a country full of drugged up, zombie kids. Jason wasn't able to join any branch of military service

because he took Ritalin beyond the age of 12. We crusasade to keep our middle school and high school aged kids off of drugs, but then we put our very young children (Jason was 4!) on drugs! Am I the only one who thinks something is wrong with this picture? I'm willing to bet I'm not!

Hi,

My son started having seizures a year ago after being hit in the head. I did try the whole alternative route for several weeks with good results, but I could not convince the world to not give him sugar, so therefore I was going crazy. Well as seizures persisted he ended going on Depakote. You want to see a fairly bright child sure take a dive school suffered, but he did not have another seizure after starting the depakote, he took it for several months faithfully, then it started becoming a hit or miss situation on taking those drugs. Grades dramatically improved. You have to remember this isn't my choose and it broke my heart, all these people have seen me heal myself and yet wouldn't help me out including my husband, just to follow a diet, NO SUGAR. Then I found out what a big deal that is to everyone.

Now for the rest of my story. No drugs this whole summer. I gave him Super food everyday and echinecea + for children and a herbal laxative for children occasionally. I agreed to not say a thing about what else he consumes as long as he took those things. He had two episode but I don't know if it was seizures or not. He threw up and then went right to bed and slept for awhile.

But I can only hope my son becomes advocate of not being on drugs, he sure did not like that Depakote, made him dopeyRenee Judkins <msfitnes01 wrote:

Hi Gina,

 

Alot of the consumers I work with in the mental

health job take depakote for seizure disorders. These

are all adults, they all hate it and don't feel they

need it. But it is an absolute requirement for them to

be on drugs in order to get mental health services

from the core providers, like Easter Seals. It makes

me sick! My son gets services from Easter Seals and

they insist that he be on Lexapro, even though two

other psychiatrists told him he doesn't need

medications within a month before he went to Easter

Seals. He takes the prescription and gets it filled,

but doesn't take the Lexapro.

What sort of head injury did your son have? What

did the doctors do (or what are they doing) about the

injury other than just prescribing depakote to control

the seizures? It makes me angry that doctors prescribe

drugs to deal with symptoms but fail to treat the

underlying cause of the symptoms. It seems if they

address the healing of the injury, the seizures would

stop and he wouldn't need the depakote! And a no sugar

diet is just a good idea for any child, especially a

child with ADHD. I just got something in my email box

from " Emotional Health " about ADHD in children too. I

haven't read it yet, but if it's good, I'll post it!

I think you are doing the right things with your

son. You are his mother and you know him better than

anyone else. When I work with the ADHD kids and their

families, one of the things I do with them is a colon

detox, like the herbal laxative you mentioned. It is

really beneficial to those particular kids. I'll post

the rest of that story soon. I was hoping to do it

today, but I got invited to go out and see Ted Nugent

tonight so I may not get to it until tomorrow! Anyway,

you keep up the good work with your son. Continue to

trust your own instincts.

 

Blessings, Renee

Hi Renee,

I know with my son the drugs made him drugged out, it slowed him down and my guess maybe it gave his brain a break enough to help it heal. Once in awhile he complains of headache, (like today) I don't know if he is crying wolf or not. He is fine right now( hour later) But as far as the injury he was elbowed by an adult right between the eyebrows and nailed the following week in the same spot with a baseball. When the seizure were over he was holding his forehead right were the injury happened. So after his headache episode I gave him another talk that I will help but he is going to have to take responsibility for what he is eating. When I tried to control that before I was going absolutely crazy, that wasn't good for anyone. And as far as the doctors I have not been back with him for a check up. From what I have learned it is better to just drop gently out, I am afraid it will make many upset.

What happened to your son?

Have a great time at the Concert!!

Hi Gina, Alot of the consumers I work with in the mentalhealth job take depakote for seizure disorders. Theseare all adults, they all hate it and don't feel theyneed it. But it is an absolute requirement for them tobe on drugs in order to get mental health servicesfrom the core providers, like Easter Seals. It makesme sick! My son gets services from Easter Seals andthey insist that he be on Lexapro, even though twoother psychiatrists told him he doesn't needmedications within a month before he went to EasterSeals. He takes the prescription and gets it filled,but doesn't take the Lexapro. What sort of head injury did your son have? Whatdid the doctors do (or what are they doing) about theinjury other than just prescribing depakote to controlthe seizures? It makes me angry that doctors

prescribedrugs to deal with symptoms but fail to treat theunderlying cause of the symptoms. It seems if theyaddress the healing of the injury, the seizures wouldstop and he wouldn't need the depakote! And a no sugardiet is just a good idea for any child, especially achild with ADHD. I just got something in my email boxfrom "Emotional Health" about ADHD in children too. Ihaven't read it yet, but if it's good, I'll post it! I think you are doing the right things with yourson. You are his mother and you know him better thananyone else. When I work with the ADHD kids and theirfamilies, one of the things I do with them is a colondetox, like the herbal laxative you mentioned. It isreally beneficial to those particular kids. I'll postthe rest of that story soon. I was hoping to do ittoday, but I got invited to go out and see Ted Nugenttonight so I may not get to it until tomorrow! Anyway,you keep up

Hi Gina,

 

My gosh, poor kid! Ouch! When my 5 year old had her

seizure about a month ago, she complained that her

head hurt just minutes before her seizure. My son is

autistic, very high functioning, and ADHD. He is 22

yrs. old now. He was on Ritalin for 11 years, starting

at age 4. He always felt drugged and zombied out. He

begged me for years to take him off the Ritalin. That

is the exact reason he won't take the lexapro now. He

still uses his nutritional protocol for both the ADHD

and for occassional depression. After my cancer he had

a rather serious bout with depression. But while I was

sick, he took over 110% of my responsiblities,

including becoming an instant 18 year old single

parent to his 8 yr old and 16 month old sisters for 7

months! It's no wonder he got depressed!

When I took Jason off Ritalin when he was 14, I

didn't tell his doctor either. I know what he would

have said. Doctors want people on drugs. They get

perks from the pharmaceutical companies for

prescribing their medications. And don't even get me

started on those other rip off artists who prey on the

needs and desperation of sick people - the

pharmaceutical companies!!!

Jason now talks to everyone he can, doctors,

parents, teachers - anyone who will listen, about

getting kids off of drugs and putting them on

nutrition. He relates his own experiences to them. The

progress he made after stopping the ritalin is utterly

amazing. I believe the nutrition also helped with some

of the characteristics of the autism too, because he

is so much more social and willing to talk to people,

even strangers!

When my daughter was born with a sacro-coccygeal

teratoma tumor, which was surgically removed at 3 days

old, I started giving her 3 of my supplements as soon

as I got her past the doors of the NICU! I never told

her doctors either. But when they commented on what a

remarkably fast recovery she made, I just gloated in

silence!

I must run for now. Ted Nugent is waiting for me!

(yeah, right!) I'm long overdue for a night out with

no kids! I value every precious second I have with my

kids because doctors told me I wouldn't be here today

to raise them. But I still need a small break every

once in a while! You're a good mom, Gina. Keep up the

good work and don't waste anymore mental energy

worrying about what anyone else thinks! God Bless!

 

Blessings, Renee

Thank You so much. I needed to hear that, it brought tears to my eyes. Does you son have a website? Just out of curiosity if you were close I loved to hear your son speak. Can I ask you what state you live in?

Hi Gina,

 

I am in Michigan, Oakland County, close to the city of Pontiac. If you're not close perhaps I can have Jason post his story in his own words here. And, like me, he is always available on the phone. He does have a First Fitness website, but that is pretty much the same as mine. It's basically the company website for independent distributors. Jason did, however, create the website for the whole special education department of the South Lake School district, where we lived in St. Clair Shores while he was in high school. So he really should create his own web site in regard to autism and ADHD. I don't know why I never thought of that before (chemo brain!)! He keeps telling me "Mom, you're gonna have to stop using that chemo brain excuse and admit that it's your age!" I tell him as long as I can use chemo for an excuse, I don't have to admit anything about my age!!! Anyway, Jason's website is www.firstfitness.com/jchilton. And you are a good mom who is doing the right things for your son, in my opinion. Don't ever let anyone tell you differently. And if anyone does, oh well, that's their opinion, so don't let it bother you. Because someone else says something doesn't necessarily make it true! Let me know if I can put you in contact with Jason somehow. He would be very open to it.

Hi Gina,

 

I would love to see your website. Thanks for sharing it and for the info on how J might start one of his own. Yes, it's a small world, but often way too large as well! Ted was great. He is no longer a Michiganian either, but a Texan now. He had to leave his house in Chelsea because of black mold. They had to leave everything they owned behind, including his gold records, guitars, bows and guns for hunting, all their clothes. If they took anything from the house, they risked taking the mold with them as well. They ended up in Texas because his wife, Charmaine, got really sick from the mold and her doctors are down there.

The show was great. You couldn't move your foot on the hill at Pine Knob without stepping on someone. He did all the old classics though and everything else right to present time. He shot Saddaam Hussein with a bow and arrow, which I thought was great because I am an archer too! He's a great shot! And an awesome guitarist. I was home by 11:30 p.m. though. Big night out! I had fun though! I'll have to tell you sometime about how I was having breakfast with Bob Seger's wife and planning class parties and events for our children's 5th grade class for a full half of the school year before I knew who her husband was. They are just the coolest people. You would never know he's a rock n roll hall of fame legend, to just hang out and socialize with him. Anyway, I felt like an idiot because everyone else knew who Nita was but me! I never put the 2 and 2 together knowing her last name was Seger!

And you are a good mom who is doing the right things for your son, in my opinion. Don't ever let anyone tell you differently.
