ARTICLE BELOW by PETER BREGGIN
==========================================
They say that they key to the success of
cult-like brain-washing is in "first breaking
the person down," exactly like psychoanalysis
http://www.actionlyme.org/DIABOLICAL_PERVERSION_PSYCHOANALYSIS.htm
(which all psychiatrists are forced to go thru,
and which is the same as the Skull-and-Bones'
Naked Coffin Confessions) and then "filling
their minds with the new cult philosophy."
This is exactly how psychiatrists acquire
their loyalty to other cult members and their
refusal to deal with reality. This loyalty
to a fraudulent and contrived philosophy causes
psychiatrists to lie/perjure/defraud the self-alleged
courts on behalf of other psychiatrists, especially
in the cases of real brain diseases like Lyme Borreliosis:
http://www.actionlyme.org/BRAIN_PERMANENT.htm
demonstrated many times by IDSociety.org to be a
permanent brain infection, even when using
their bogus OspA primers.
By the way, I was asked what harm the malpractice
treatment of Lyme brainers with Lyrica would
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.diseases.lyme/browse_thread/thread/8b5536fc730b3dbc?hl=en#
do, and of course I had to reply that as a
GABA analog, Lyrica has applicability to treat
brain damage (the loss of dopamine receptors and
the KNOWN DAMAGE TO GABA TRANSPORTERS due to
the phenothiazine degradants) from the malpractice
treatment of Lyme brain:
"Effects of haloperidol metabolites on neurotransmitter uptake and
release: possible role in neurotoxicity and tardive dyskinesia.
"These results suggest that HP metabolites bind to the transporters
for dopamine and serotonin, but are not transporter substrates. In
contrast to their potent effects on amine release, HPP+ and HPTP were
unable to release preloaded GABA from cortical synaptosomes. The
implications of these results concerning a possible role of HP
metabolites in the development of tardive dyskinesia are discussed."

Over which my kids were kidnapped and
I was thrown in jail, labeled a terrorist):
http://www.actionlyme.org/BRAINDAMAGE.htm
DCF did not care about children with Lyme:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm
They were more worried about their liabilities
re the forced brain damage, as documented in
those scanned-in scientific journal articles
which discuss the BRAIN DAMAGE caused by
psychotropics, which happens to be the claimed
special area of Expertise of Ben Bunney, the
Chair of the Yale Psychiatry Department:

"Expertise
"Neurophysiology of Midbrain Dopamine Systems
" Pathogenesis of Psychosis
**** Biological Abnormalities of Movement Disorders****
"Achievements and Honors..."
So, that's Corrupticut for ya. Yale and the
State of Corrupticut will do anything they
can get away with with children:

Government employees tend to have a blind

are the worst. But we know this Over-Cop

They're triple-stupid, a way: 1) Already-dumb

The New Child Abuse: The Psychiatric Diagnosing and Drugging of Our
Children
Every society has found its own methods to abuse its most vulnerable
members: children; women; the elderly; ethnic, racial and religious
minorities; the poor; the mentally distressed or distressing; the
physically disabled; those with unconventional lifestyles. All of
these have been widely abused and all remain victims of abuse to
varying degrees in societies throughout the world.
Just as it is certain that these abuses can never be fully eliminated,
it is also certain that these same abuses will expand to the degree
that individual citizens justify or ignore them and fail to take a
stand.
In the past, the most rampant abuses have been justified on moral,
religious, patriotic or ethnic grounds. But increasingly we will see
the worst abuses rationalized on scientific and medical grounds. It's
the modern way.
Science and medicine have so successfully rationalized and justified
our society's most devastating and pervasive form of child abuse that
it remains almost wholly unacknowledged, though it is known to every
sentient adult and to most children. Probably every adult and half-
grown child in America knows and can identify at least one child who
is the victim of this abuse. Those who teach, coach, minister to or
otherwise serve children may know dozens or even hundreds of children
who are victims of the new child abuse.
Our society's particular form of child abuse is the psychiatric
diagnosing and drugging of our children.
The diagnoses are becoming almost innumerable including LD, ADHD, OCD,
oppositional defiant disorder, bipolar disorder, and Asperger's and
autistic spectrum disorders. Increasingly children also fall victim to
psychological tests that allegedly identify frontal lobe dysfunctions
characterized by inattention or flawed executive functions.
Like the diagnoses, the drugs administered to children have mushroomed
to involve every class of psychiatric medication, including
stimulants, antidepressants, tranquilizers, mood stabilizers and
antipsychotic agents. The FDA has increasingly given official approval
for giving children especially deadly anti-psychotics such as
Risperdal, Zyprexa, Geodon and Seroquel. Meanwhile, anything that can
sedate the child's growing brain from anti-hypertension drugs to anti-
seizure drugs are routinely dispensed with callous disregard for their
harmful impact.
It's not uncommon to find children subdued and crushed by multiple
psychiatric drugs. Probably 10 to 20 percent of our children will at
some time be diagnosed or drugged. This number includes nearly every
child in special education classes, foster care or on SSI/SSDI. Any
child singled out by child services and educational or psychiatric
authorities is likely to fall victim to psychiatric drugs.
The Psychopharmaceutical Complex is the source of these abuses: the
pharmaceutical industry, organized psychiatry and medicine, NIMH,
insurance companies and various other groups supported by the drug
companies. Few parents are abusers; they are misled and intimidated by
the "authorities" and often medicate their children against their
better judgment.
Two principles are self-evident: First, convincing children that they
have "something wrong" in their heads such as genetically crossed
wires or biochemical imbalances is the surest way to rob them of self-
esteem, personal responsibility, self-mastery and the hope of an
unlimited future. Second, convincing children that they have a
psychiatric diagnosis or treating them as if they have one and
teaching them to rely on psychiatric drugs is a prescription for their
becoming lifelong mental patients.
Two other principles require a little more thought or scientific
evidence: First, all psychoactive substances from alcohol and
marijuana to psychiatric drugs reduce and compromise the function of
brain and mind, and none improve it. Whether or not we like the
feelings we get from them, all psychoactive substances impact us
precisely by producing a partial disability of our highest mental and
spiritual life. More concretely most are poisonous to brain cells. I
call this "the brain-disabling principle" of psychiatric treatment and
have described and documented it in a lengthy medical text book with
more than 1,000 scientific references.
Second, all psychiatric drugs have potentially horrendous and even
lethal adverse effects from chronic depression and growth stunting
caused by stimulants to diabetes, severe obesity, disfiguring
neurological disorders and shortened lifespan caused by
"antipsychotic" agents. You can confirm and expand on these
observations by googling antipsychotic drugs or reading my various
books on the subject, especially "Brain-Disabling Treatments in
Psychiatry, Second Edition." The names of the diagnoses will change.
The chemical structures of the drugs will change. The promotional
strategies will change. But, in my opinion, it will always be abusive
to psychiatrically diagnose and drug children.
Now comes the challenge. Put yourself into the emotional and spiritual
life of a child who has been diagnosed and will soon be drugged. Be
empathic, but not in a disheartening way. Be empathic by connecting
with love to the child's inherent desire to love and be loved, to
benefit from rational discipline, to play and to have fun, to grow up
and to take responsibility, to learn, and to reach to his or her self-
determined stars.
Are you able to put yourself in that child's place? How does it feel
to be told you're not normal, that you have a disorder, that you're
special but not in a good or hopeful way? How does it feel to be
different, let alone mentally impaired? And what impact will it have
on you when the expectations of your parents and teachers are tailored
to your limitations?
Be genuinely empathic. Children will say almost anything to adults to
cover up their shame or to appease them. Beyond that, the medication
spellbinding effects of psychiatric drugs impair the individual's
ability to perceive or evaluate the emotional and cognitive disruption
that the psychoactive substances are causing. Put yourself in the
child's place and know what he or she must feel about being
stigmatized and marginalized by psychiatric diagnoses.
Now imagine yourself inside the head of the child being drugged. The
drug makes you feel different and you don't like it, but everyone says
you need it. You don't want to have to take a drug to make you normal.
But you're a kid and there's nothing you can do about it.
Gradually your brain and mind struggle to adapt to the brain-disabling
chemical that's crossed your blood brain barrier and disrupted your
normal biochemical functions. As an aspect of medication spellbinding,
you become so accustomed to your more flattened emotions and reduced
mental acuity that you hardly notice the difference anymore.
And now consider this: All these children will grow up with brains
drenched in toxic substances, literally polluted in the extreme. Think
about the known adverse effects and dare to imagine the even more
subtle changes in the function of the brains of each child, brains
forever chemically altered.
These children will never know what evolution or God really intended
them to become before these toxic intrusions.
Do not be misled that the medical and scientific authorities, and the
weight of the universities and government, wholly support this rampant
abuse of children. From the systematic abuse of women, children and
minorities throughout the ages to the institution of slavery and the
Holocaust, those in authority have condoned and benefited from these
abuses. Authority at the top of society always justifies these
widespread abuses, otherwise the abuses would never get started, nor
would they persist.
Reject the authorities. Rely on common sense, sound ethics and real
science. Allow yourself to become empathic toward these abused
children. Then become angry, energized, motivated and engaged. Educate
yourself. My books and those of many others will introduce you to a
new world of science, education and philosophy about childhood and
children. Find your own way to protest and to make a difference. Join
us at empathictherapy.com in our efforts to protect our nation's
children from psychiatric abuse and to offer them genuine love,
inspiration, service and education.
