Diseases of the brain, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateralsclerosis-Lou Gehrig's disease, stroke, meningitis, etc., are the province ofneurology, my specialty. This was assured in 1948 when the two specialtieswere formally split with "neuropsychiatry" becoming the separate, newspecialties, "psychiatry" and "neurology." This means that the drugsprescribed by psychiatrists (and throughout mental health, by all sorts ofdoctors) are toxins/poisons, the first and only demonstrableabnormality/disease that psychiatric patients have. But today, patients arelied to -- told, for purposes of informed consent, that they have a disease orchemical imbalance. This gains their consent. Whether it is actual informedconsent is irrelevant to the pharmaceutical companies. There is little doubtthat without the "chemical imbalance" lie the epidemic psychiatric drugpoisoning would be a small fraction of what it is today.

As in the University of Northern Illinois case, almost all of the highschool, and college shooters have been psychiatric patients on a diet ofpsychiatric drugs. Nor is the issue of whether they still have the poison intheir system or not critical. All psychiatric drugs damage the previouslynormal brain and body. This is how they alter the subjective symptoms forwhich they are said to be "treatment." Even if stopped they have altered andthus damaged the previously normal individual.
At a 1970 Congressional hearing on the drugging of school children wherehyperactivity was first called a brain disease, Dr John D. Griffith, AssistantProfessor of Psychiatry, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, testified:"I would like to point out that every drug, however innocuous, has some degreeof toxicity. A drug, therefore, is a type of poison and its poisonousqualities must be carefully weighed against its therapeutic usefulness."Such a scientific, weighing of the risks vs. the benefits of psychiatricmedications is virtually never carried out today because the psychiatricdiagnosis, never a "chemical imbalance"/disease, is always portrayed as one.Why? Because the psychiatric diagnosis is almost always portrayed as onerequiring treatment with a "chemical balancer", or pill. Every year, tens ofthousands of children are court-ordered to take psychiatric drugs fordiagnoses such as ADHD, conduct and oppositional-defiant disorders. Shouldtheir parents refuse, then, without trial, the parents are pronounced"medically negligent" and threatened with the loss of custody of the child --their child. Their child whose emotional life they are no longer allowed todirect. This is what we have come to in the USA!
Eric Harris, who was denied enlistment into the armed services, and one ofthe two Columbine shooters, had been on Zoloft, a Prozac-like antidepressant.There is no such thing as the balancing of the "chemical imbalance" portrayedin the Zoloft ad. And yet the FDA, as much a part of the pharmaceuticalenterprise as psychiatry, allows the pharmaceuticals to peddle their liesdirectly to the American public via publicly-owned airwaves.
