Full circle ADHD treatment
Posted: Sun May 01, 2016 1:48 pm
Where it is difficult to invent physical diseases, it is really simple to invent mental disorders.
DSDM PANEL
The DSM panel describes psychiatric diseases. With each new version of DSM mental disorders are updated according to the latest developments. Lisa Cosgrove concluded that most members of the DSM IV and DSM V panels are financially tied to the pharmaceutical industry: http://behaviorismandmentalhealth.com/w ... IV-COI.pdf
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article ... 001190.pdf
The DSM can even describe the effects of the drugs, not as side effects, but as the result of psychiatric disorders. All of these drugs affect the functioning of the brain, body and behaviour and make you stupid, demented (experts describe antipsychotics as a chemical lobotomy). Even if there really is a (short term) improvement in behaviour, this doesn't mean the brain functions better. Not one type of drugs has benefits in the long term.
ADHD - RITALIN
No child is born a slave and all of them resist to get brainwashed. If children refuse a little too hard, they “need” psychiatric treatment. In the USA schools are stimulated to sentence kids to AD(H)D by a child find bonus, and additional money for each schoolchild with AD(H)D: http://www.rense.com/general4/addd.htm
In Massachusetts 60% of the orphans and in Texas between 31% and 42% of the foster children receive psychiatric drugs: http://www.texastribune.org/2013/01/29/ ... igh-doses/
Ritalin is similar to amphetamine, a highly addictive hallucinant. Because kids get hooked, they could even say that Ritalin is beneficial (so they get their drugs). Quitting Ritalin leads to withdrawal effects, which is used as an argument for Ritalin (look what happens without Ritalin!). Nadine Lambert concludes Ritalin leads to drugs addiction: http://www.berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan ... talin.html
It is well known that using amphetamines leads to extreme and aggressive behaviour; because of Ritalin more people will suffer from attention disorders and hyperactivity.
A list of (side) effects of Ritalin – aggression, psychosis, depression, bad results at school, stomach ache, headache, seizures, coma and problems sleeping: http://web.archive.org/web/201801261817 ... ummary.pdf
The story of ADHD is that some children (especially boys of the lower classes) suffer from a chemical imbalance in their brain (that usually miraclously stops in adulthood), causing concentration problems - when they are boared - and makes them hyperactive. You might know the story that only children with ADHD improve on Ritalin (but others get hyperactive). According to L. Alan Sroufe, professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Child Development, Methylphenidate (Ritalin) was given to radar operators in World War II to help them focus on boring, repetitive tasks (is this an accurate description of school?): http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/opini ... .html?_r=0
The way to diagnose ADHD is not by measuring the chemical imbalance of the brain, but by studying behaviour. How ridiculous the story really is, becomes apparent when the lack of attention can also lead to exact opposite – really quiet behaviour - ADD (especially for girls of the lower classes). So this attention disorder leads to a whole spectrum of behaviour and psychiatrists can choose at will which (poor) kids are sentenced to AD(H)D.
The MTA study compared different kind of treatments, including a large group that got no drugs, for 579 children diagnosed with ADHD according to DSM and ran for years. In the first 14 months the hyperactive behaviour of the children with ADHD notably “improved”, but from 3 years on the group on Ritalin was just as hyperactive as the group without (drugs). After 8 years: 70% of the group didn’t show hyperactive symptoms. After 6 years the group that got no drugs showed less: 1) depressions or anxiety disorders (4.3% compared to more than 16.4%) and 2) psychotic or manic disorders (0.9% compared to more than 2.0%). Another important conclusion is that the group diagnosed with ADHD was less successful. See Molina et al “The MTA at 8 Years: Prospective Follow-Up of Children Treated for Combined Type ADHD in a Multisite Study” (2009): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article ... 271449.pdf
Over the years some retired psychologists put their reputation on the line by revealing ADHD as a prime example of a fictitious disease, for example: Leon Eisenberg (who played a part in inventing ADHD) and Dr. Jerome Kagan (of Harvard University). Here an interview with Kagan: http://www.spiegel.de/international/wor ... 47500.html
MANIC/PSYCHOTIC/SCHIZOPHRENIA - ANTIPSYCHOTICS
Giving millions of children Ritalin is like a time bomb leading to a large increase in psychosis related illnesses (according to the DSM these are also caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain ... using drugs of course creates a chemical imbalance). If your (future) work is the treatment of psychotic patients you should read the scientific reports referenced by Robert Whitaker: http://psychrights.org/Litigation/WhitakerAffidavit.pdf
1) Psychiatry in the “developed” World is worse than (the lack of treatment) in the third World - Leff et al “The international pilot study of schizophrenia: five-year follow-up findings” (1992): http://psychrights.org/research/Digest/ ... y/who1.pdf
2) Antipsychotics (Haldol, Risperdal (Risperidon) and Zyprexa (Olanzipine)) frustrate the recovery of people with mental problems - Lehtinen et al “Two-year outcome in first-episode psychosis according to an integrated model” (2000): http://psychrights.org/Research/Digest/ ... grated.pdf
3) Antipsychotics have terrible (side) effects like shrinking of the brain - Gur et al “Subcortical MRI volumes in neuroleptic-naive and treated patients with schizophrenia” (1998): http://psychrights.org/Research/Digest/ ... rtical.pdf
4) Because of antipsychotics patients die younger (murder by prescription): Waddington et al “Mortality in schizophrenia” (1998): http://psychrights.org/research/Digest/ ... (1998).PDF
PARKINSON & ALZHEIMER – FULL CIRCLE
One of the main effects of antipsychotics is Parkinson, so they need anti-Parkinson drugs like Akineton (Biperiden). Akineton is an addictive hallucinant leading to dementia (cognitive impairment) making the treatment full circle. Where the madness started by prescribing the addictive hallucinant Ritalin, the madness ends (or continues) with the addictive hallucinant Akineton. In a recent study by Loyola Medicine and Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine in the journal Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics they concluded that anti-Parkinson agents lead to impulse disorders, like gambling, compulsive buying and sex addiction: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 161348.htm
Here's an example of the terrible effects of Akineton – addiction, not being able to perform the simplest tasks and dementia - Espi Martinez et al “Biperiden Dependence: Case Report and Literature Review” (2012): http://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/c ... 949256.pdf
All of these drugs affect the short term memory (cognitive impairment), so the victims of psychiatry get Alzheimer’s disease. Now the rich (psychiatrists) say mental diseases are hereditary and the lower classes are inferior because they suffer more from psychiatry.
You might think: fortunately I’m not crazy so there’s no risk of being tortured by psychiatry. Better think again, there is only one psychiatrist needed to sentence you to a psychiatric disorder and you have no choice. If you think: but I’m not aggressive, dangerous or suicidal, you’re missing the point - the psychiatrist is the expert, so he can say: because of the mental illness there is a high risk.
If you do not believe me: in 1972 in the Rosenhan experiment 8 mentally sane pseudopatients complained about voices in their head and were admitted to institutions. They behaved “normal” but the only way to escape from the claws of psychiatry was to admit they were sick and take the medicine (which they dumped in the toilet). They eventually escaped with the diagnosis “schizophrenia in remission”; one of them was locked up for 52 days.
In January 2008 they locked me up in a psychiatric hospital, where 1 of the political prisoners clearly stood out for being more sane than the people walking in the street. He used to be director of Amnesty International Nederland and told me they locked him up (with his consent) so he could investigate how patients in psychiatric hospitals are treated; of course the psychiatrist didn’t believe him and he had a hard time escaping. After only two weeks he already deteriorated.
In 1943 Ezra Pound was sentenced for treason for his support of fascism in the 1930’s and 1940’s while living in Italy. Instead of standing judgement, he was declared insane and locked up in St Elizabeth’s hospital from 1945 until 1958. Pound has been called a terrible traitor to the USA (“worse than Hitler” according to Arthur Miller), fascist and anti-Semite but completely insane (can you imagine, he wanted to stop the usurping banks?). Judge the transcripts of his radio broadcasts for yourself (EDIT - "new" link): http://www.whale.to/b/pound.html#72_(Ma ... U.S.(C24)_
