This trailer for a new movie, called “Generation Rx” is generating some buzz. The movie itself has already garnered some great reviews. Paul Haggis called the film “A powerful and often chilling eye opener. The stories continue to haunt me.” The film will be released within the next few months, if all goes well in post production. Take a look at this trailer for Generation Rx and let me know what you think:

A new hard-hitting anti-psych video from CCHR, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, of which I’ve been a member since 1972, highlights the firm link between school shootings and the drugs that the shooters were on. Drugs like Ritalin and Prozac ARE the reason these school shootings are taking place. These drugs need to be outlawed and the criminal drug company executives and FDA officials that have conspired to keep the public in the dark so they can keep raking in their profits need to be tried and imprisoned for their complicity in these murders. The psychiatrists who have been prescribing …

This article from London’s Daily Telegraph reports that a psychiatrist often picked by the BBC as a talking head Tonmoy Sharma is being struck off the medical register for fraud and misconduct, including pretending to be a PhD when he wasn’t. After a ten-month hearing process, he was found guilty of “serious professional misconduct”. He was found to have acted unprofessionally in relation to five major studies between 1997 and 2003, involving four Big Pharma companies, including Eli Lilly and the Janssen Research Foundation.

Received a funny email today about Caffeine-related disorders.

In the clinician’s handbook for diagnosing mental disorders (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, known as the DSM-IV-TR), caffeine-related disorders are classified under the category of substance-related disorders. DSM-IV-TR specifies four caffeine-related disorders:

• caffeine intoxication
• caffeine-induced anxiety disorder
• caffeine-induced sleep disorder
• caffeine related disorder not otherwise specified

What a pantload of crap!

It’s true that caffeine is a mild drug with euphoric symptoms, which can be abused. Those who drink more than a cup or two a day are caught in some cycle of highs and lows. And over the long term, coffee is bad for your …

Dr. Al Sears, an MD from Florida, reports that:

Chances are you know of a child on Ritalin or some other prescription drug for “attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder” (ADHD). But did you know that these drugs can keep children from growing normally? Meanwhile, there are plenty of safe, natural ways to help these children that you won’t hear about from the mainstream medical community.

In a recently published study, a team of American scientists discovered that while Ritalin and similar prescription drugs like Adderall and Dexedrine might help some kids in the short term, over a three-year period they had no beneficial …

My friends at CCHR report:

Connecticut is joining at least nine other states suing drug maker Eli Lilly and Co. over the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa.

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal says Connecticut’s lawsuit seeks to recover more than $190 million that that state’s medical assistance program spent on Zyprexa over more than a decade.

The lawsuit accuses Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly of running an illegal marketing campaign to promote Zyprexa for unapproved off-label uses, including treating children.

Blumenthal says the campaign also concealed risks associated with the drug, including diabetes, weight gain and cardiovascular problems.

A court in Alaska is currently hearing that …

Little Cheyenne Delp was first taken by her foster mother (Sherri Mathis) to see a psychiatrist at 5 years of age. She left with prescriptions for three psych drugs for the child. By the time Cheyenne died a year later, apparently strangled to death by her foster mother in 2004, her psychiatrist had her taking *four* psych drugs.

Cheyenne’s foster mother is on trial for murder. Shouldn’t her psychiatrist also be on trial right along with her? That would be Dr. Saran Mudumbi, shown here testifying about how he kept changing around her drug cocktail, increasing the dosages for because for …

Antidepressants Hardly Help according to an article in Time Magazine. I rarely trust any information provided by what is usually the central mouthpiece for Big Pharma, and the trumpet of the AMA and APA, but in this case they seem to have let some actual science slip through in their reporting. Prozac, Effexor, Serzone, Paxil and Seroxat, the SSRI drugs, are basically about as effective as a placebo sugar pill for all except the most severely depressed. So why have 50 million people been taking these drugs worldwide? Because they drug companies only provide the POSITIVE results of their drug trials …

The manufacturers of Risperdal and Seroquel, widely-prescribed anti-psychotic drugs, have been sued by the Montana Attorney General for injury or deaths of Montanans.

I hope more state Attorneys General will get on this particular band-wagon. These drug companies have very deep pockets (billions of dollars of profits per year) and are using extremely aggressive marketing campaigns to get doctors to prescribe these drugs off-label, for things that they were never approved to do by the FDA. The pseudo-science of psychiatry is in bed with Big Pharma on this, and are guilty of pushing the whole “bad brain chemistry” myth, for which …

I received a press release today concerning a new book by Beverly Eakman, a whistle-blower working with CCHR, working to expose to the light how psychology has corrupted the American educational system. She says:

“I take issue with teaching methodologies whose primary purpose is to target the emotions rather than challenge the intellect.”

Walking Targets points to an agenda where “educators often think that they are using scientific methodology to transmit ‘thinking skills’ or that they are “empowering pupils to be ‘decision-makers.’”

In “Bushwhacking Johnny,” one of the 40+ articles in her book, Eakman explains that teachers should not exist to strip …
