Preschoolers used as guinea pigs in psychotropic drug tests

As ClinicalTrials.gov reveals, in 2005, Massachusetts General Hospital

conducted an 8-week trial study that recruited children as young as four years

old

to be drugged and monitored, including having their blood drawn, to see if

their tiny four-year-old bodies would tolerate a powerful psychotropic drug

(Seroquel).

 

Here's more from ClinicalTrials.gov:

 

This is an 8-week open-label study aimed at assessing the effectiveness and

tolerability of Quetiapine, in the treatment of preschool children aged 4 to 6

years with bipolar and bipolar spectrum disorder. This is an exploratory,

pilot study, seeking to determine whether Quetiapine is efficacious and well

tolerated in the treatment of preschoolers with pediatric bipolar and bipolar

spectrum disorder in this age group.

 

Ages Eligible for Study:4 Years - 6 Years, Genders Eligible for Study: Both

 

Subject must be able to participate in mandatory blood draws.

Chemical child abuse

 

In my view, this exploitation of young children for drug testing amounts to

nothing less than chemical child abuse. What possible medical justification

could these doctors, hospital staff and drug pushers have for prescribing

mind-altering drugs to four-year-olds? Even the " disease " being treated here is

entirely fictional. So-called " bi-polar disorder " was wholly invented by

psychiatrists with strong financial ties to drug companies. The purpose of this

disease

is not to help children, but to sell drugs to anyone and everyone, including

toddlers.

 

I often wonder when the rest of the country will wake up and notice that the

mass-drugging of our nation's children has gone too far. Why isn't the

mainstream media giving this front-page coverage? Why aren't lawmakers demanding

an

end to the chemical abuse of our children? Why isn't the FDA halting these

trials on toddlers out of plain decency?

 

You already know the answer: Because they're all making money from this

chemical assault on our nation's children. The doctors, hospitals, drug

companies,

psychiatrists and mainstream media all profit handsomely from the sales of

mind-altering drugs to children. Ethics will never get in the way of

old-fashioned greed, even when we're talking about the health and lives of

four-year-olds.

 

 

Modern psychiatry, with all its false authority, drugging of children and

rampant disease mongering, is an affront to all people who believe in honest

medical science and basic human decency. Armed with the DSM-IV, on-the-take

psychiatrists invent diseases out of thin air (like " bi-polar disorder " ), then

vote

official treatment protocols into the reference books. Yet a recent review of

such decision panels reveals that one hundred percent of the psychiatrists and

doctors involved in such decisions have financial ties to the drug companies

that coincidentally happen to manufacture the recommended drugs.

 

This is a life-threatening scandal of such proportion that it deserves a

Dept. of Justice investigation, complete with criminal charges being brought

against many of these so-called " doctors. " To characterize this as a crime

against

humanity is not an exaggeration.

 

Blatant quackery

 

Let's face it: Modern psychiatry and its incessant disease mongering amounts

to quackery at its worst. This group both invents the diseases, then hawks the

snake oil that " treats " those diseases. And underneath it all, there's

absolutely no physiological evidence of any such diseases at all. They can be

diagnosed in children on a whim, based on a mere sixty seconds of casual

observation

combined with the biased opinion of a drug-pushing psychiatrist being bribed

by Big Pharma.

 

This is not medicine, folks. And it's certainly not science. It's just plain

medical fraud. Yet the whole of conventional medicine goes along with it,

pretending that nothing is amiss. Doctors, hospitals, FDA bureaucrats, teachers

and even many parents just pretend that all these mysterious brain chemistry

diseases have spontaneously appeared in the world over the last ten years,

suddenly afflicting tens of millions of children. And thank goodness the drug

companies just happened to have invented all these treatment drugs at the exact

same

moment in history when these psychiatric diseases became so widespread!

Imagine the odds...

 

Where are the skeptics on this issue? Where are the quack busters on the

drugging of our children? The silence is deafening. They have nothing to say

about

the lack of science behind psychiatric disease mongering. They aren't

skeptical at all. Clear thinking, it seems, isn't allowed when the conclusions

might

question the institutions of modern medicine. And thus, the skeptics reveal

themselves as little more than purveyors of medical dogma; protectors of a

drug-the-children medical cult that demands unquestioning obedience to its

profit-minded beliefs.

 

Good science has long since left psychiatry. And if you want to know the

true, horrifying history of the mental health industry, visit the Citizen's

Commission on Human Rights http://www.newstarget.com/www.CCHR.org . Prepare to

be

shocked.

 

Born psychotic

 

Psychiatry believes there is no child too young to diagnose as having

psychiatric disorders. It won't be long before psychiatrists will be hanging out

in

delivery rooms, declaring children to be mentally diseased at birth (because

they keep crying, obviously) and immediately injected with powerful

mind-altering drugs. To psychiatry, human life has no value other than the

possibility of

creating a new paying customer, and every new birth is seen as another

opportunity for dispensing profitable drugs.

 

There's no end to the evil that psychiatry might do in the years ahead. As

long as society continues to give psychiatrists carte blanche to invent

fictitious diseases, there is no human behavior, emotion or condition that's

safe from

being labeled a pathology. So-called " adult ADHD screening tests " label a

whopping 80 percent of participants with the disease. Behavioral disorders

screenings for children demonstrate similar numbers. And the things that can get

you

labeled as " diseased " are all too mundane: Feeling overwhelmed, feeling

distracted by modern life, handling too many projects as once, being afraid of

public speaking, feeling shy in social situations... gee, is there anyone who

doesn't experience these sooner or later?

 

But it wasn't enough to attempt to drug up all the adults, you see. Modern

psychiatry had to expand its markets, and that meant reaching younger and you

nger " customers. " A couple of decades ago, they started drugging teens with

antidepressant drugs. Then they attacked younger schoolchildren with Ritalin.

Now

they're targeting preschoolers, and the trend is clear: Children will soon be

" born psychotic " if psychiatry has anything to do with it.

 

Years ago, the giant soda companies handed out baby bottles emblazed with the

logos of their flagship soft drink products. The idea was to get mothers to

feed their infants soda instead of infant formula, thereby altering the taste

of the infant for life, creating a lifelong consumer of soft drinks. When I

first uncovered this disturbing report, I thought it was perhaps the most evil

thing a corporation could do to the health of infants. But now, psychiatry takes

the prize.

 

Using four-year-olds as guinea pigs to test psychotropic drugs is more than

merely unethical; it's predatory. It's Nazi-esque in its use of human beings

for medical experiments, and yet it remains strangely acceptable across society.

Child Protective Services does nothing. Hospitals gladly run the trials (they

get paid, of course). Psychiatrists and doctors happily drug these children,

observe them, then draw their blood, all in the name of corporate profits. And

thus, they all join the long and sordid history of human medical

experimentation ( http://www.newstarget.com/019189.html ) that demonstrates

ethics, or

human lives, or plain decency will never get in the way of the forward march of

medicine.

 

The complicity of conventional medicine is astounding. The American Medical

Association, to my knowledge, says nothing skeptical about disease mongering by

psychiatry. Few doctors see any problem at all, and fewer still have the

courage to speak out. The FDA, which is supposed to protect people, gladly

approves one psychotropic drug after another, even for use on toddlers.

Lawmakers

take campaign finance contributions from drug companies and look the other way,

and the mainstream media continues publicizing fictitious diseases, lending

them false credibility and creating customer demand for dangerous drugs.

 

Only a handful of doctors, authors, organizations and celebrities dare tell

the truth on this issue, and they are singled out for incessant ridicule. Take

Tom Cruise, for example. Although he speaks the truth about the drugging of

children, he is endlessly dragged through the mud of public opinion simply

because he expresses authentic passion for ending this chemical child abuse.

Cruise

should be applauded for his efforts, not ridiculed.

 

Let's hospitalize the psychiatrists

 

When it comes to mental health, there is one group of people in this country

that truly needs to be drugged: The psychiatrists. Because to practice

psychiatry today, and to support the mass drugging of toddlers and

schoolchildren, is

to demonstrate a deep-rooted madness that may justify chemical restraint. To

drug toddlers, or to use them for medical experiments, should be rightly

regarded as a crime. And there's no question whatsoever that the children of our

nation would be safer, healthier and happier if the practice of modern

psychiatry simply disappeared.

 

Besides, the real cause of depression, mood swings, emotional disorders or

other so-called " diseases " mostly comes down to diet and lifestyle. Remove the

food additives and refined sugars from a child's diet, and he returns to normal

in about two weeks. Feed children healthy oils, live foods, whole grains and

superfoods, and you automatically create energetic, curious, fast-learning

children who need no drugs. Give children some sunshine, play time and some time

with nature, and you get balanced, healthy children. It's no secret, it's just

common sense.

 

But psychiatry has no common sense, and no one in the industry dares mention

that most so-called mental disorders are really just caused by nutritional

imbalances. Because to admit to the truth about the mental health of children

would be to render their careers irrelevant. And no psychiatrist is going to

commit career suicide by admitting that bi-polar disorder was just made up, or

that toddlers need good food, not expensive drugs. Just like conventional

doctors

, psychiatrists have to protect their egos and revenue streams, and that means

convincing parents that little Johnny has a brain chemistry imbalance and

he'll have to take psychotropic drugs for life. The parents, as gullible as

ever,

naively go along with the scam, usually after being frightened into

compliance by a psychiatrist who warns them what might happen to little Johnny

of they

don't drug him. " He might commit suicide, " they're sternly warned.

 

Will the scams of modern medicine never cease? Is there no child too young to

be targeted for medical experiments? Will the sinister desire for Big Pharma

profits ever be balanced against basic human decency?

 

Probably not. The world has, indeed, gone half mad. And psychiatry is

standing by, ready to drug everyone, regardless of their age or mental health

status.
