Re: <\/span><\/span>Broward child’s suicide raises questions about medication<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A Broward foster child who killed himself last week had been prescribed powerful psychiatric drugs, some of which the FDA does not approve for children. <\/span><\/p>\n

BY CAROL MARBIN MILLER

To the Editor:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

One looks at the picture of this precious 7 year old boy and tries to imagine how\u00c2\u00a0such an innocent could have\u00c2\u00a0imagined how to hang and kill himself with a cable–attached shower head.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Might\u00c2\u00a0a compulsion–twisted thoughts–have been born of the\u00c2\u00a0chemical assault with\u00c2\u00a0multiple brain-altering poisons–the only abnormalities-diseases\u00c2\u00a0he ever had.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In medicine a disease is an objective, demonstrable abnormality–gross (a lump felt by manual exam), microscopic (cancer cells from a biopsy or ‘Pap’ smear) or chemical (high blood sugar in diabetes, high phenylalanine in phenylketonuria–PKU).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But psychiatry is nowhere bound by the rules of science.\u00c2\u00a0All physicians know that psychiatry is wholly\u00c2\u00a0owned and operated by the pharmaceutical industry and that their obligation is to call all troubled, troublesome, entirely normal, emotional and behavioral problems “diseases” so as to justify “treating” them with the drugs their controlling partner manufactures.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, the “chemical imbalances” of the brain that psychiatrists magically diagnose without examinations or tests become the sole justification for psychiatric prescription drugs–“chemical balancers” for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153chemical imbalances\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of the brain–the biggest, most dangerous health care fraud in history.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recently a pediatrician bent on healing Gabriel, a normal child, <\/span>had discontinued all psychotropic drugs\u00c2\u00a0revealing a normal boy who not only did well, but excelled, earning A’s and B’s at a Christian academy.\u00c2\u00a0 But that wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the psychiatry-pharmaceutical cartel plan which is to make life-long patients of normals with psychiatric \u00e2\u20ac\u0153diagnoses\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and drugs.\u00c2\u00a0 In this case they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t figure on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153life-long\u00e2\u20ac\u009d being so short.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

What we have here is not the legitimate practice of medicine but a perversion of the language of medicine and criminal assault and battery. <\/span>In 2003, Dr. William Carey testified to Congress that 17% of US schoolchildren were on one or more psychiatric drugs. <\/span>Today, with government a full partner, they seek to impose Teen-Screen whereby 50-60 percent will be diagnosed and drugged. Today, in Florida and every state in the US, shamefully, 60-70 percent of all foster children are labeled, drugged and billed for by the psycho-pharmaceutical cartel, for no reason other than that they are defenseless.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
