Proof That Doctors Believe They Are GOD;  AND, how to escape the grip.

The wave of evil washes not only the financial-industrial complex, the military-industrial complex, the energy-industrial complex, and predatory executives at AIG, Citibank, Halliburton, Blackwater/Xe, Enron, and Exxon. The pharmaceutical-industrial complex has virtually annexed the mental health profession, whose all-star opportunist team is captained by Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Biederman, the high-profile doctor most responsible for the explosion of kids on psychiatric drugs, first for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and then for bipolar disorder.

In 2008, Biederman was nailed by Congressional investigators for taking $1.6 million from drug makers from 2000 to 2007 and failing to report most of this loot to his university, a major conflict of interest in violation of the rules. In a February 26, 2009 deposition given by Biederman to several states attorneys (who were claiming that makers of antipsychotic drugs defrauded state Medicaid programs by improperly marketing their medicines), Biederman was asked what rank he held at Harvard.

“Full professor,” Biederman answered.

“What’s after that?” asked one state attorney, Fletch Trammell.

“God,” Biederman responded.

“Did you say God?” Trammell asked.

“Yeah,” Biederman said.

As part of this legal proceeding, Biederman was forced to provide documents relating to his interactions with Johnson & Johnson, the giant pharmaceutical company. These documents included presentations he made over several years summarizing the work of his center financed by Johnson & Johnson. On March 20, 2009, the New York Times reported that Biederman pitched Johnson & Johnson that his proposed research studies on its antipsychotic drug Risperdal would turn out favorably for Johnson & Johnson — and then Biederman delivered the goods. The Times also reported that in 2005 Biederman proposed a study on adolescents using the ADHD-drug Concerta, manufactured by Johnson & Johnson, and he assured the company that his study would “extend to adolescents positive findings with Concerta.” And in 2006, Biederman was co-author of a study showing that children given Concerta for a prolonged period did not have reduced growth, allaying a significant concern about the medicine — but in contradiction to what has now been established.

For decades, the majority of American doctors, mental health professionals, the media, and the general public have yielded to the disseminations of Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Biedeman who successfully evangelized for more children — and younger children — to be medicated with powerful psychiatric drugs.

The blowback from ADHD drugs is reported in the current July 2009 Scientific American Mind article “Do ADHD Drugs Take a Toll on the Brain?” a comprehensive report of the long-term dangers of ADHD drugs such as Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, and Vyvanse.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated in 2005 that 9% of boys and 4% of girls in the U.S. were taking ADHD stimulant medications; and according to a 2007 study, ADHD-drug prescriptions rose by almost 12 percent a year between 2000 and 2005.

ADHD drugs are either the “amphetamine-like” methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin and Concerta) or actual amphetamines (e.g., Adderall and Vyvanse), so it should not be surprising that long-term use is associated with many hazards. The current Scientific American Mind piece, authored by Edmund S. Higgins, clinical associate professor of family medicine and psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina states, “Methylphenidate has a chemical structure similar to that of cocaine and acts on the brain in a very similar way.” In February 2009, neuroscientists at the Rockefeller University reported cocaine-like structural and chemical alterations in the brains of mice given methylphenidate.

It is common for cocaine addicts to experience depression, anxiety and cognitive problems, and mental health authorities have long reported that ADHD as a “risk factor” for other mental health problems but have neglected to take seriously the possibility that it is the ADHD-drug treatment itself that contributes to higher rates of other emotional and cognitive difficulties. The current Scientific American Mind article reports: “At least three studies using animals hint that exposure to methylphenidate during childhood may alter mood in the long run, perhaps raising the risk of depression and anxiety in adulthood.”

“Amphetamines such as “Adderall” could alter the mind in other ways,” continues the Scientific American Mind piece. A team at the Yale University School of Medicine documented long-lasting behavioral oddities such as hallucinations and cognitive impairment in rhesus monkeys that received injected doses of amphetamines. Compared with controls, the drug-treated monkeys also displayed deficits in working memory that persisted for at least three years after exposure to the drug.

A research team at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine trained baboons and squirrel monkeys to orally self-administer an “Adderall”-like drug for two to four weeks, and the team found evidence of amphetamine-induced brain damage, specifically, lower levels of dopamine and fewer dopamine transporters on nerve endings in amphetamine-treated primates than in untreated animals.

 “One possible consequence of a loss of dopamine and its associated molecules is Parkinson’s disease, a movement disorder that can also lead to cognitive deficits,” notes Scientific American Mind. A study in humans published in 2006 hints at a link between Parkinson’s and a prolonged exposure to amphetamine in any form.

It has also now been scientifically established — in contradiction to Biederman’s findings — that ADHD drugs stunt growth in humans. In a 2007 National Institute of Mental Health study of ADHD treatments involving 579-- seven- to ten-year-olds over the course of three years time, the growth rates of un-medicated children were compared to the growth rates of children who took ADHD stimulants throughout that period. Compared to the un-medicated children, the ADHD drug-treated children showed a decrease in growth rate (on average, two fewer centimeters in height and 2.7 kilograms less in weight). This growth-stunting effect stopped by the third year, but the children on ADHD drugs never caught up to their counterparts.

In my research experience, there are many children whose only problem in life is not doing their homework but who, by their doctor, are medicated with ADHD drugs; and the majority of their parents had no idea that the doctor was giving their children amphetamines or amphetamine-like substances. Unfortunately, too many Americans are willing to surrender their own authority to damn near every pompous authoritarian rather than question the legitimacy of exploitive industrial complexes and the predatory people at the top of them.

This report was gathered from the Health Freedom Alliance’s website:  http://blogs.healthfreedomalliance.org/blog/2009/07/20/big-pharma-bribes-doctors-to-hook-your-kids-on-drugs/  By the Anti-Aging Clinic who represents the natural wellness industry; and we provide the following added research:

Studies show that Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor drugs (SSRI’s) burn out brain’s receptors within weeks and other very strong side effects. All of them work with your neurotransmitters, the brain chemicals that regulate mood, sleep and appetite, among other things. They are designed for the severely depressed person who has been psychoanalyzed by a psychologist and should only then be prescribed by the psychologist not any other doctor. The trouble is that most MD’s prescribe them freely for such symptoms as PMS and now, as you can see, to children. SSRI’s do nothing but mask a symptom for a short while and create a lifetime of destruction.

ADD, ADHD, Autism, Parkinson’s, Dementia & Altzheimer’s are all neurological diseases and a reality of our life today. 50-years ago these diseases were relatively unknown. When we began to consume processed foods, which lack Omega-3’s, the neurological diseases exponentially exploded onto the scene. The body makes trans fatty acids to take the place of the long chain fatty acid Omega’3. This produces a weakened cell membrane which is easily penetrated by heavy metals and unknown pathogens. Our atmosphere is bombarded with heavy metals. Lead was not removed from gasoline until 1978, which produced trillions of tons of lead in our environment. Medical vaccines are made with mercury and aluminum, known endocrine disrupters and the cause of dementia and other neurological disease.  A neurotoxin is a toxic agent or substance that inhibits or damages or destroys the tissues of the nervous system, especially neurons, (the conducting cells of your body's central nervous system). While they may have existed before processed foods, neurotoxins were defended against by the body’s strong immune system and removed from the body because of healthy cell membranes due to our consumption of natural vitamin fortified foods. While some aspects of lead poisoning are reversible in adults with EDTA suppository chelation therapy, in children this can interfere with normal development, cause irreparable brain damage, or even kill.

Heavy metals, especially lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium and arsenic have been implicated in a variety of disturbances of essential physiological pathways. They can bind sites normally occupied by essential minerals disrupting metabolic activity. They can destroy the body's free radical defense systems, leaving the body more susceptible to free radical damage from chemicals. Vague and puzzling symptoms are sometimes related to abnormally high levels of heavy metals.

The result can be an increased likelihood of a variety of illnesses including chronic degenerative disorders, including autoimmune conditions as well as cancer.

Lead exposures are most damaging in children. Lead damages cells, especially those of the nervous system. It can become incorporated in bone in place of calcium, weakening bone structure. Chronic exposure comes from chemical residues in some processed foods, and "some personal care" products, some cosmetics, some shampoos and other hair products, some mouthwash and toothpaste, soap and the list goes on.

Mercury is one of the most poisonous substances known to man. It is particularly dangerous because it is so easily absorbed through the skin, lungs and intestines. Although a metal, it is a liquid at room temperature and readily vaporizes and can be inhaled. Mercury is found in, tooth fillings, fish; some plastics, inks, water based paints, pesticides and fungicides; chlorine bleaches and even some vaccines contain mercury. Mercury is also found in some over the counter health care products like Preparation H and Iodine products.

Human exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically in the last 50 years, however, as a result of an exponential increase in the use of heavy metals in industrial processes and products.

Some ionic metals are naturally found in the body and are essential to human health. Iron, for example, prevents anemia, and zinc is a cofactor in over 100 enzyme reactions. They normally occur at low concentrations and are known as trace metals. In high doses however, they may be toxic to the body or produce deficiencies in other trace metals; for example, high levels of zinc can result in a deficiency of copper, another metal required by the body.  In fact, it is these deficiencies in copper that promote the skin aging process.

Heavy or toxic metals are bad for our health which include the good metal such as copper that is called trace metals if they have a density at least five times that of water. These metals are stable elements (meaning they cannot be metabolized by the body) and they are bio-accumulative; this means they have passed up the food chain and are now collecting in humans.

These include: mercury, nickel, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, platinum, and copper. We need to identify the metallic form versus the ionic form required by the body. Heavy metallic forms of metals have no function in the body and can be highly toxic.

Once liberated into the environment through the air, drinking water, food, or countless human-made chemicals and products, heavy metallic metals are taken into the body via inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption.

If heavy metals enter and accumulate in body tissues faster than the body’s detoxification pathways can dispose of them, a gradual buildup of these toxins will occur.

High-concentration exposure is not necessary to produce a state of toxicity in the body, as heavy metals accumulate in body tissues, over time, can reach toxic concentration levels. The list of diseases you are exposed to due to high concentrations of these toxins is long, including Autism, Parkinson’s, Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

In our clinic, when we discuss with clients our concerns regarding heavy metal toxicity, we often get the response, "That isn’t a problem for me."

But after our consultation most are astonished to learn that we are all being exposed to and absorbing these harmful substances to some degree in our daily lives. The astonishment turns to alarm when they hear what heavy metals do in the body.  We provide them with heavy metal urine analysis kits to take home and get a visual of these toxins exiting.

Studies confirm that heavy metals can directly influence behavior by impairing mental and neurological function, influencing neurotransmitter production and utilization, and altering numerous metabolic body processes. Systems in which toxic metal elements can induce impairment and dysfunction include the blood and cardiovascular, detoxification pathways (colon, liver, kidneys, skin), endocrine or hormonal system, energy production pathways, enzymatic, gastrointestinal, immune and nervous system (central and peripheral), reproductive, and urinary tract.

Virtually all aspects of animal and human immune system function are compromised by the inhalation of heavy metal particulates. In addition, toxic metals can increase allergic reactions.

Much of the damage produced by toxic metals stems from the proliferation of oxidative free radicals they cause. Free radicals result naturally when cell molecules react with oxygen (oxidation) but, with a heavy toxic load or existing antioxidant deficiencies, uncontrolled free-radical production occurs if this is left unchecked.  These unchecked free radicals can cause tissue damage throughout the body; free-radical damage underlies all degenerative diseases. Our Antioxidant immune build up program and our heavy metal EDTA suppository chelation detox program are crucial to curtail free-radical activity and the removal of toxin buildup.  Please call us today for a consultation so you can get started on a program to improve your health at:  954-742-4430 that number again is 954-742-4430.
