You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

New Neal Fox video – “Ask Your Doctor” is a hoot

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Love this new video from Neal Fox called “Ask your Doctor”. Turn up the sound and enjoy!

Be sure to read the text at the end: 100,000 people die from “correct” prescription drugs in the USA every year. Neal posits that the purpose of the FDA is no longer to “protect the public”, but that the FDA’s purpose now is to “protect the drug companies.” I think he’s on to something there….

Overwhelming evidence that psych drugs cause suicide, murder, mayhem

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

This little database of about 1000 stories that have been carried by the media in the last ten years shows the overwhelming evidence of psych drugs (and trying to withdraw from them) being the CAUSE of extremely violent behavior.

It’s hard to read down through this summary and not feel outraged. Here are some random highlights from the long, long list:

  • 6 Year Old Dies on Psych Cocktail
  • 7 Year Old In Foster Care Dies From Poweful Antidepressant
  • 10 Year Old Girl Dies in Mother’s Arms From Toxicity of Antidepressant
  • 11 Year Old

What’s wrong with psychiatry? Let a psychiatrist explain….

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

This two-minute video from CCHR explains what’s wrong with psychiatry. It’s from Dr. Niall McLaren, who’s been a practicing psychiatrist for 22 years, and is the former head of the Dept of Psychiatry at Repatriation Hospital in Australia.

Bluntly, he says that psychiatry is pseudo-science and that all their bunk hangs from one skyhook, “that mental disorder is brain disorder”. And that there is no proof whatever to that premise.

As he says, “bugger the money” that’s being wasted on psychiatry and psych medicine. It’s the inability of psychiatry to actually help people, and the actual harm that it …

No more ADHD – Dr. Mary Anne Block tells why a diagnosis of ADHD is medically, scientifically bogus

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

This is an excellent little video from Dr. Mary Anne Block, Medical Director of The Block Center, describing why she wrote her book “No More ADHD” She succinctly describes what the real problems can be that psychiatrists label as ADD and ADHD, and then seek to mask or cover up their symptoms with drugs like Ritalin, that have serious side effects (including heart attack and death), and which can cause suicide when someone tries to withdraw from them.

Take three minutes and watch it.

Pfizer fined $2.3 billion for illegal marketing to doctors, called a “repeat offender”

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

In a win for the health care of Americans everywhere, and a “mega fail” for Big Pharma, Pfizer has been fined $2.3 Billion in by the Justice Dept for illegal marketing to doctors, including paying for their golf trips, massage and resort junkets.

A Justice Dept official said that even as Pfizer was negotiating deals on past misconduct, they were continuing to violate the very same laws with other drugs. Note this is their 4th such settlement in a decade for illegal marketing.

To prevent backsliding this time, Pfizer’s conduct will be specially monitored by the Health and Human Service …

Disease Mongering Engine – what a hoot!

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

This site makes tragic mockery of big Pharma, by helping you generate your own made-up pseudo-medical term for a bogus mental disorder, so you too can get rich quick off your harmful chemicals: Disease Mongering Engine.

If is quite funny, as it steps you through the paces of how to make a fortune from your own toxic, harmful chemicals.

Amy Philo speaks out against Mothers Act

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Here in her own words is Amy Philo, who survived her nightmare experience with psych drugs recommended to her as a new mother, and is warning other mothers and mothers-to-be to stay away from psych drugs.

For more information, or if you have a similar story and want to speak out, contact me or get in touch with CCHR here to Report Psychiatric Abuse.

Kid’s view of psych drugs

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

This video from CCHR gives some perspective from both the parent’s view and the child’s view of the harmful effects of the psychiatric drugs he was forced to take. The parent was forced to drug his child by the court system (he says so) or he would lose parental rights to the child.

I believe what they were forced to experience is wrong on so many levels it is hard to know where to start.

Parents should be making the decisions about what drugs to give their children, not their schools …

New video on mandatory mental health screening

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I’m of the opinion that mandatory mental health screening is nuts.

There are politicians and lobby groups from the APA and Big Pharma in Washington DC right now pushing “The Mother’s Act”, which should really be called the “Medicating All Mothers” Act. The real purpose of this lobbying effort is to get a whole new mandatory class of people who must take psychiatric drugs, to expand the market for Big Pharma and their incredibly profitable and dangerous psychotropic drugs.

Get informed, starting with this video from CCHR. Get active in calling and writing your elected representatives and tell …

Difference Between a Disease and a Psychiatric Disorder

Monday, April 27th, 2009

This is a short entertaining video from CCHR about the difference between a Disease and a Psychiatric Disorder

Love the “cha-ching” at the end. And how you can’t tell the psychiatrists from the drug company reps without looking closely.

So the next time a psychiatrist tells you your kid needs a psych drug to handle a “brain chemistry imbalance”, ask him exactly what lab test he used to discover this brain chemistry imbalance.
