Subject: Bagging Lisa Masterson over chronic Lyme and Gulf War Illness
Date: Mar 11, 2008 8:57 PM
Lisa Masterson was stalked, harassed, her kids were DCF-kidnapped, she
was falsely
accused of "Munchausen's by proxy" by duh British DCF-tards, who then
changed what they were charging her with to "psychologically inducing
symptoms
in her children," and then, when she organized a protest of Simon
Wessely,
who clearly abused Gulf War Illness Veterans for years (link and
story, below),
she was falsely arrested and thrown in a psych klink (sound familiar?)

Starfleet Academy Science:
Perform scientifically valid tests on persons who complain of illness.
It's 17th century rocket science, that we would like to introduce to
psychiatry:

Please note: if you are simply too ill to come, you may send instead a
short essay
explaining how Wessely's theories have damaged your life - these will
be on display
outside the College. You do not need to give your real name. See below
for details.
What:
Professor Simon Wessely's name is known to the thousands of sufferers
of chronic
illnesses in Britain and abroad who have been hurt by his philosophy.
A psychiatrist,
for years Wessely has been the outspoken proponent of the view that
chronic physical
conditions such as Gulf War Illness, ME/chronic fatigue syndrome,
fibromyalgia,
Lyme disease, multiple chemical sensitivity and others are simply "all
in the
head" of the sufferer.
This view has received great support from the Government and from the
Army, both
here and in America. It has also been enthusiastically promoted by
insurance companies
and the Dept of Work and Pensions. Millions in public research funds
have gone into
the pockets of psychiatrists following the Wessely school of thought.
The result : seriously ill patients have been denied recognition and
treatment,
disability benefits and dignity. They have been ridiculed by doctors
and vilified
in the press.
Stigmatised by Wessely and his followers as malingerers,
hypochondriacs, or simply
"mad", sufferers of chronic physical illness have been left untreated
for years, sometimes ending up paralysed, amnesic or even dying. Some
commit suicide
under the pressure of isolation and never-ending pain.
Providing no evidence base for his conclusions, Wessely nevertheless
rides roughshod
over published medical studies linking vaccine damage, chemical
exposure , depleted
uranium etc., with Gulf War Illness; toxic chemical exposure, viruses,
Lyme disease
bacteria, hormonal, genetic and other causes with fatiguing illnesses.
He does not
disprove the evidence of physical causes for these disease - he just
ignores it.
Perhaps the most tragic consequences of all are to be seen in the
children whose
serious but difficult-to-diagnose physical illnesses are
misinterpreted as "somatisation",
"acting up", or even "mental illness", as a result of the dominance
of Wessely's views. They may be ridiculed at school, taken out of the
mainstream
and placed in psychiatric units, told their symptoms are their own
fault, forced
to do exercises that are beyond them and which worsen their condition,
and even
taken into Local Authority care if their parents oppose a psychiatric
treatment
approach.
It is difficult to see how Prof. Wessely can be an objective
commentator on chronic
illnesses in veterans when his research on them has been funded by the
MoD, American
Dept of Defense and US Navy. He also works for NATO, currently
chairing a committee
on psychological responses to WMD. Moreover, the fact that he receives
wide support
from powerful insurance corporations such as UNUM, and sits on the
board of Prisma,
a multinational company administering "cognitive behavioural therapy"
to patients surely call into question his suitability to decide
whether chronic
debilitating illnesses are "real" or not.. Recipients of this
"therapy"
are told they must re-educate their minds to believe that they do not
really have
pain or disability. To a sufferer of a physical illness, this is
damaging and abusive.
On 25 January Wessely will address the public on the subject of "The
Real Story
of Gulf War Syndrome". Come and help us show the public the "Real
Story
of Simon Wessely". If you are too ill to come yourself, ask a friend
or relative
to attend on your behalf. If you have no one, please send in a brief
(200 - 300
word) statement explaining how you have suffered as a result of the
Wessely dogma.
You do not need to give your real name - you may leave a pseudonym,
initials etc.
Photos are useful but only if you wish. We will mount all the stories
on a display
in front of the college where Wessely is due to speak, so they may be
seen by the
attendees, the public and the media.
Please email your stories, photos etc to:
