Abram Hoffer, a pioneer in the field of orthomolecular psychiatry who specializes in schizophrenia, believes his colleagues in the mental health field are "way behind general medicine, but they're going to have to start budging. We in psychiatry are at least 10 years behind the rest of medicine when it comes to the proper consideration of nutrition, nutrients and other factors in the treatment of mental illness. They're still using treatment that was considered pretty good 30 years ago, and the only treatment today for schizophrenia is one of a variety of tranquilizers. |
| Within a three-week period, this woman not only regained her mental health, but she was out taking tennis lessons, which was shocking even to me because although the treatment usually works it usually takes a longer period of time. So, just that amount of metabolic support was enough to turn this person's life around.
"Another person I treated was a 62-year-old woman who was a member of the Catholic clergy. She had been a nun for at least 30 years when I met her and I will never forget this woman. She came in bloated, profoundly depressed and fatigued. |
| The group that benefits most greatly from this is the mental health system. In Georgia, where she lives, Everett found that the local school system receives more than $6,000 per year per child labeled with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and put into special education. With a label of mental or emotional disorder on top of that, she says, the amount increases to more than $10,000.
"If that's not putting a bounty on the heads of our children, I don't know what is," Everett says. |
| Coyle of the Harvard Medical School says "the way mental health services are provided to children" is one cause of the increasing numbers of prescriptions for psychotropic medications being given to preschoolers. "Many state Medicaid programs now provide quite limited reimbursement for the evaluation of behavioral disorders in children and preclude more than one type of clinical evaluator per day. Thus, the multidisciplinary clinics of the past that brought together pediatric, psychiatric, behavior and family dynamic expertise for difficult cases have largely ceased to exist. |

Let's talk about mental health and Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Dr. Holick: Principally, Seasonal Affective Disorder is due to the fact that people who live in northern climates can't easily regulate the production of melatonin by the pineal gland. And melatonin is a hormone that causes you to fall asleep basically, or to hibernate. And so for many people that live in northern latitudes, the sun's rays are not intense enough and long enough in exposure time to regulate melatonin levels. |

So now finally, with this study, we're starting to see some of the healing effects of foods and how these foods stabilize mental health. Imagine what we could do in this country if we encouraged people to eat these healing foods. Imagine if everyone had stable mental health. Imagine if the people running our country had stable mental health -- what kind of a positive impact would that have on foreign relations and domestic priorities? It would have a huge impact. |

Are we going to require the mental health screening of all elderly people, and start dosing everyone over the age of 65 with brain altering drugs too?
There seems to be no limit to how far the highly corrupt psychiatry community and prescription drug companies will carry this to exert control over the population and generate obscene profits. And the truth is that anyone can be diagnosed with a mental disorder given sufficient creativity on the part of the psychiatrists. If a person is too creative and excited, they have Attention Deficit Disorder. |

And yet it's widely believed throughout psychiatry today: Food and mental health are not related, they declare.
Astonishing.
Who's qualified to talk about mental health anyway?
Critics of my criticism of psychiatry will no doubt say I'm not qualified to talk about mental health. In fact, I am unique qualified to talk about this subject because I possess genuine objectivity (I take no money from drug companies, unlike virtually 100% of psychiatrists) and clear-headed thinking (because I take no drugs whatsoever). |

But some skeptics questioned the need for using mental health drugs on honeybees. When ConPfuzer's Dr. Pollen was asked how such simple, tiny brains could be diagnosed with a behavioral disorder, he offered a stinging response. "No brain is too small to understand the need for psychiatric medicine!"
Side effect warning signs: Honeybesity
Side effects from Buzzalin are already starting to emerge. Honeybees that continue to take the drug for more than one month begin to experience significant weight gain, and many are being diagnosed with a new disease called, Honeybesity. |

How did attitudes about mental illness—no, "'mental health"—change so quickly?
Back in the shelters, I would wonder: How did biological psychiatry get to he so omnipresent, so powerful, so hip, so quickly?

Who Medicated Iowa?
By all accounts, Winterset, Iowa—population about five thousand, located in the southern and central part of the state—is a wonderful place to live. The local newspaper regularly features such items as:
Justin Decker spent Friday night with his great-grandparents, Ralph and Georgena Breakenridge. |
| Even the terminology had changed: I no longer worked in shelters with psychotic people but in the brand-new shiny field of "Mental Health."
There was of course nothing unique about the cocktail parties I was attending. These same discussions and attitudinal changes were flowing vigorously through the popular culture. During the 1990s, mental illness became highly visible and quite suddenly almost chic. One celebrity after another confessed to their long-secret psychiatric anguishes. A movie about a genius with paranoid schizophrenia, A Beautiful Mind, won multiple Oscars. |
| In its current incarnation, the Barracks, located on the wrong side of the tracks in New Haven, is a "mental health" shelter. It is the temporary home to thirty psychotic and homeless men. (Or not so temporary: lengths of stay among its residents range from a few days to seven years.) The Barracks looks like a rundown, sprawling Gothic casde, complete with turrets. One wouldn't be surprised to see a moat around it. As it is, there is a security station, with metal detectors, where the men are searched and scanned as they go in and out all day long. |

They can also experience mental health problems and difficulties with social behaviors.120 It is estimated that the prevalence of FAS in the United States ranges between 0.3 to 2.2 per 1,000 live births. Much higher rates can occur in some communities. The focus should be on prevention and aggressively promoting no alcohol use during pregnancy.
Even mild alcohol ingestion during pregnancy is said to result in hyperactivity, short attention span, and emotional problems in children. |

Free-range chickens also have better mental health. You may find it strange to talk about the mental health of chickens, but foods produced from healthy, happy animals are far better than foods derived from animals driven insane as a result of inhumane farming practices.

Medicare drugs, he's pushed for mandatory "mental health screening" of children that would result in a windfall of profits for psychiatric drugs, he has supported legal immunity for drug companies in cases where patients are killed by drugs like Vioxx, and he has supported the FDA's actions on banning drug imports and protecting monopoly drug pricing in the United States. |

Soon, mandatory mental health screening programs will sweep across America, and anyone who displays independent thinking, creative ideas or even the slightest hint of stress might be carted off to a mental institution where they will be forced to undergo brain chemistry "rebalancing" at the whim of a psychiatrist who earns a commission on every pill he forces you to swallow.
Sound far-fetched? Don't jump to innocent conclusions. You probably have no idea how far Big Pharma will go to turn human beings into customers. Drugging the entire nation with patented chemicals is only part of the goal. |

But the field was beginning to shift toward a biological interpretation of mental health, and studies were cropping up about treating anxiety with imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant that had been around for twenty years. It manipulates the interaction of norepinephrine and serotonin in a part of the brain stem known as the locus coeruleus, which regulates basic life functions such as breathing, waking, heart rate, and blood pressure. As such, this area monitors blood pH levels and is the origin of the alarm signals that trigger the amygdala in a panic attack. |

Senate agreed, passing a law banning the importation of honeybees from other countries and mandating a national "honeybee mental health screening program" covering all honeybees currently in the United States. All such bees found to fly in zig-zag patterns will be deemed "Attention Deficit Hyperactive" and be put on Buzzalin or other patented drugs.
ConPfuzier has also funded a Colony Collapse Disorder support group that's designed to "keep honeybees on our drugs forever" while telling them they're actually getting well. |

As a category, mental health issues are searched for more often than immunizations, dental health, Medicare or Medicaid, sexual health information, or problems with drugs and alcohol.29 In July 2006, of the ten most popular online searches for pharmaceutical and medical products, six concerned psychiatric drugs or psychiatric disease. (They were, in order, Lexapro, Cymbalta, Zoloft, Wellbutrin [an antianxiety agent], Effexor, and the illness of depression itself.)30 Among people who have visited a medication site, depression is by far the most researched medical condition, with 2. |

And unless we restrict the use of antidepressant drugs and find a way to help young men achieve genuine mental health through nutrition, sunlight, and avoidance of toxic chemicals, mark my words: We will see more antidepressant-induced violence in America.
The shootings will not stop until the pills are banned.
You can bank on it. The next attempted shooting is likely only days or weeks away.
If we want to end this violence, we must end the chemical warfare being waged against the minds of our young men and children by the drug companies. |
| Chemically assaulting these young, troubled brains with powerful drugs -- while denying them real mental health solutions based on nutrition -- is the bread and butter of modern psychiatry, an industry that in my opinion has sold its soul to drug companies and now serves primarily as a glorified system of legalized drug dealers that preys upon children and teenagers. |

Yet the FDA chose to single out Scientology's E-meter machine, likely because it perceived the device as presenting a genuine threat to psychiatry's monopoly over mental health treatment.
The FDA, you see, believes it not only regulates foods, drugs, and cosmetics, but also religions. Only "mainstream" religious practices will be allowed, and any such religions that use alternative symbols, rituals, or scriptures will be prosecuted, regardless of what the Constitution says. The rule of law never interferes with the FDA's campaigns of terror.
