Twin Study May Quiet Doubts Over PTSD

Human Emotions are NOT a product of genetic pre dispositions. Down that road lies Eugenics. We have Already traveled it, and we're Long overdue to get Off of it. Just as there Is NO Schizophrenia gene, there is NO PTSD gene, but we have $igh-entists 'Investigating' Human Twins as Very well paid, public funded make work.

Psychiatric Genetics: Another Empty Box Of Bio-$cience.

'Mental Health': It Never runs out of specious excuses to Pay itself.

"But if we can Save just One Person!" We've Heard that one already.

We've Also heard from Senator Tom Coburn:

"American taxpayers lose $100 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid each year,” Dr. Coburn said. “Congress and the Administration must do a better job of working to staunch this flow of taxpayer dollars that goes to crooks instead of providing care.”

“The current system was designed to be defrauded,” Coburn said. “Organized crime rings and gangs are bilking billions of taxpayer dollars from Medicare each year because it is so easy to defraud the system."

It's time to cut off the money for Junk Research into Non Diseases.

Sen. Coburn Introduces Bill To Fight Medicare & Medicaid Fraud

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has;

Dr Coburn Introduces Bill To Stop Medicare And Medicaid Fraud "FAST"

"(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK), a practicing physician and participant in February’s White House summit on health reform, today introduced a bill with Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL, 6th) that was inspired by President Obama’s February 22, 2010 endorsement of several Republican proposals designed to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Coburn introduced S. 3900, the “Fighting Fraud and Abuse to Save Taxpayers’ Dollars” or “FAST” Act with Rep. Roskam, who also attended the White House health summit. The bill notionally represents the Republican solutions to combat waste in Medicare and Medicaid that the President endorsed.

“The status quo in Medicaid and Medicare is unsustainable and unacceptable. American taxpayers lose $100 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid each year,” Dr. Coburn said. “Congress and the Administration must do a better job of working to staunch this flow of taxpayer dollars that goes to crooks instead of providing care.”

“The current system was designed to be defrauded,” Coburn said. “Organized crime rings and gangs are bilking billions of taxpayer dollars from Medicare each year because it is so easy to defraud the system. The American people ought to be outraged and should not stand for this.”

“We believe our bill offers a bipartisan step forward to give HHS and the Inspector General more tools to share data, stiffen penalties, and pilot new ways of combating egregious fraud. We could save at least $400 billion over a decade, just by preventing fraud.

“Federal bureaucrats must be held accountable. Payment processes must be reformed. I hope politicians and bureaucrats can put the public interest ahead of their own and I look forward to working with any member who is serious about reducing waste, fraud, and abuse in public health care programs.”

Thank you Senator Coburn

Healthcare Reform: A Huge Misdiagnosis, Dr/Congressman Ron Paul

Congressman Ron Paul has;

Healthcare Reform: A Huge Misdiagnosis

"This week marked six months since Congress passed the healthcare reform bill in what has become all-too-typical legislative chicanery. Those in power crafted a mammoth piece of legislation and rammed it through Congress under a dire sense of emergency. Insisting on time enough to read the bill was dismissed as dangerous and crazy in a time of crisis. We were told that if we really wanted to see what was in the bill, we would have to pass it first. I cannot imagine the founding fathers intended for Congress to legislate in this manner. I would think if a Member is not absolutely certain the entire legislation meets Constitutional muster, the default vote should be “no” in accordance with our oath of office.

But now that Congress has had six months to read the new law, there is a significant amount of buyer’s remorse on Capitol Hill. The more constituents learn about the law, the more angry they become. 60% of Americans are now said to be in favor of repealing the entire thing. Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to repeal a law than to pass a bill.

I wrote a while back about the egregious provision to require businesses to issue 1099s for all transactions over $600 as a way to partially pay for it. I have cosponsored legislation to fix this issue, yet this is just the tip of the iceberg.

First of all, in spite of the administration repeating over and over that this legislation would not increase costs for Americans, they are now saying they knew all along that it would. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that American families will see their premiums rise by an average of $2100 by 2016. The Wall Street Journal has reported that the cost of compliance is forcing some insurers to increase premiums by up to 20% as soon as next year!

Also, in spite of repeated claims from the administration that we could all keep our plans and doctors if we liked them, the administration’s own officials are now predicting that won’t be true for up to 117 million Americans who will lose their current plans. Major insurers are also dropping child-only plans because of mandates and price-fixing on such policies, leaving parents with fewer choices for their children, not more.

In addition, in spite of claiming this law would contain government costs, not increase them, administration actuaries now predict it will increase healthcare spending by over $300 billion. This additional spending comes along with doctor shortages, fewer choices and more taxes. Perhaps worst of all, increases in labor costs because of health insurance mandates are discouraging employers from hiring new workers and even triggering more layoffs.

Anyone with a basic understanding of Austrian economics could have predicted the unintended consequences of these new healthcare policies. Central planning never increases choices and quality or cuts costs as promised. Price controls and government mandates always create artificial scarcity. Healthcare is not a right, nor a privilege. It is a product, like food or clothing. As with any good or service, the free market regulation of supply and demand provides the optimum quality to the maximum number of people. Once we realize the problems we are trying to solve today were created by government intervention beginning in the 1960’s, we can begin to put patients and doctors back in control of healthcare, rather than third party oligopolies and government bureaucrats. The sooner, the better."

Thank you Very much Congressman Paul

SSRIs & SNRIs: More Military Suicides Than Deaths In Combat

SSRISTORIES.com has;

Mania, Suicide And Violence: SSRIs SNRIs

More Soldiers Kill Themselves Than Killed In Combat 2010/02/25

Summary:

Paragraphs 36 through 42 read: "The studies in this section confirm that the risk of antidepressant suicidality is not limited to children, youth, and young adults, but encompasses all ages."

B. Antidepressant-Induced Mania in Adults

A considerable body of research demonstrates that the newer antidepressants frequently cause mania in varying degrees. Mania is associated with loss of impulse control, violence and suicide.

Preda et al. (2001) found that 8.1 percent of adult psychiatric hospital admissions could be attributed to antidepressant-induced mania and/or psychosis. Morishita and Arita (2003) found that 8.6 percent of patients treated with Paxil developed hypomania or mania. Howland (1996) found a 6 percent rate of SSRI-induced mania, mostly severe. Ebert et al. (1997) found a 17 percent rate of hypomania, some suicidal or dangerous. Martin et al. (2004) used a national database of more than 7 million privately insured individuals, aged 5-29 years, to find new diagnoses of bipolar illness made in association of antidepressant treatment. They found a statistically significant correlation between exposure to antidepressants and a subsequent diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Individual who already have a tendency to become manic have vastly increased risk of mania when exposed to SSRI antidepressants (Henry et al., 2001; Ghaemi et al., 2000) with rates that exceed 20 percent.

The SSRI antidepressants pose a very serious, indeed an extreme, risk of causing mania in patients with and without a prior history of manic-like symptoms. This alone should contraindicate their use among active duty soldiers.

C. Antidepressant-Induced Aggression in Adults

Studies of antidepressant-induced mania often cite cases of violence. Studies also find an increased rate of hostility for children and adults taken Paxil(Healy et al, 2006, using data from GlaxoSmithKline, 2006a). Healy (2000) gave Zoloft to 20 volunteers, two of whom became aggressive and suicidal. The FDA conducted an epidemiological study comparing fluoxetine to trazodone in regard to spontaneous reports concerning hostility and intentional injury and found increased hostility on Prozac. (Food and Drug Administration, 1991). In a phone survey of pharmacy patients newer and older antidepressants, Fisher et al. (1993) found Prozac caused a higher incidence of psychotic aggression, and suicidality.

And there's more. There Always is.


Like This piece of unbridled Psychiatric Brilliance:

"..... For suicide, “depression is a big risk factor,” too, said Army Reserve Col. (Dr.) Thomas Hicklin, who teaches clinical psychiatry at the University of Southern California. “To withhold the medications can be a huge problem.”

A Huge Problem for Who?

Hit our tag "Military" for That story following right after our Salute to Northrop Grumman and their Network, beneath this post.

Northrop Grumman Offers Real Help For PTSD

The LA Times has;

Many Veterans With PTSD Struggle To Find Supportive Employment

In WWI it was called Shell Shock.

They came home, and dealt with it. After WWII, they came home, and dealt with it. After Korea and Vietnam, they came home, and dealt with it, ..... and they're Still dealing with it. Which is Not to say that those Vets had an easy time of it, at all.

Today, they're coming home and being Penalized for it. Government Programs peddled to 'Help' our returning Veterans are setting the purveyors of Occultist Junk Science upon them to 'Diagnose' PTSD Onto them & junk drugs Into them, ..... and as the La Times points out, that Label is making their post Uniform Life Hell just trying to find a job.

They deserve Better.

Northrop Grumman is providing them that 'Better'.

Operation Impact

Northrop Grumman is Partnering with over 60 Other Companies in a Network Of Champions to help Vets find 'Just The Right Opportunity'.

The 'Mental Health' Industry only encases them in a suit of Stigma, to feed itself. Northrop & The Network know better. And it's Very Gratifying to see that there are still Some people in this country, who Do really 'Get It'.

You see, ..... airplanes either fly, or they fall out of the sky and people die. So it only makes sense that Northrop would actually KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING, and Their program to help returning Vets actually WORKS.

Orwell Was An Optimist: Capt. Time Latrine The Change Agent

The San Francisco Dept. of Public Health is embracing the Philosophy of ‘Change Agents’ (see here) as Official Department Policy determining Where the line lies as to whether or not they can Spend Government Monies to Blackjack other people’s Behaviors, through declaring them ‘Incurably Mentally Ill’.

Here’s a page of proudly self identified,

‘Change Agents’.

The difference between Captain Ozone in Belfast and the California ‘Change Agents’ is that the Change Agents in California probably aren’t Suited Up. Their Ideals and Goals are identical. They are Joiners. They need to Join a Populist Cause without having Any idea what that Cause is supporting, and what their Change is agitating for.

Since nothing is more important than ‘Saving the Planet’, Capt Ozone probably spends a lot of time Riding his Toilet.

Dear Captain: Here’s some reading material for you at all those stoplights.

Climatedepot.com

Junkscience.com

The Teachers who deceived these kids into posing with Capt. Ozone should be Locked up for Child Abuse. How is filling those kids heads full of Ozone’s Paul Revering it through town on his Time Latrine going to do anything But interfere with their future ability to use their heads for anything but a hat rack, ….. which IS the end game: so that the Bureaucrats at the Top can continue living High on the Hog Disabling those kids as Dual Diagnosed Crazies, ….. at the behest of those Unelected Bureaucrats Own Personal Enrichment, …… through the Infallible Diagnostic Aegis of Jungian, New Age Zen peddling Illuminati Spiritualists who furiously watch Movies and email each other about their personal favorites?

This, is the Global Agenda determining Where America’s Medicare & Medicaid Dollars are being Spent.

Do you want Your children & grand children declared ‘Incurably Mentally Ill’ & Drug Bashed, based on this Clown riding a Toilet?

Congress To J&J: "Get Back Here You!" Over Phantom Recall

Pharmalot.com has;

Congress To Hold Another J&J Recall Hearing

Pharmalot points out that;

Ed Towns (D. New York) who chairs the committee, had this to say.

“This is about the safety of trusted medication that our children and grandchildren use. The evidence we have uncovered since our first hearing is extremely troubling,”

Congressman Towns posted a Letter to J&J CEO William C. Weldon.

We quote;

"The hearing will examine the circumstances surrounding your recall of over 135 million bottles of infant and children's medicines produced by Johnson & Johnson/McNeil Consumer Healthcare, including such widely used products as Children's Tylenol, Infant's Tylenol, Children's Motrin, and Children's Benadryl. The hearing will also examine the circumstances surrounding the "phantom recall" of a certain adult Motrin product, which became public as a result of the Committee's hearing on May 27, 2010.

Since the Committee's first investigative hearing, we have received additional information from Johnson & Johnson and from the subcontractors who conducted the phantom recall at Johnson & Johnson's direction. Much of the information we have reviewed raises additional questions.

For example, one of the emails we obtained is from an executive at WIS (one of the subcontractors who carried out the phantom recall). This June 30, 2009 email states, "we are exploring another similar but potentially larger recall for July involving Children's Tylenol." The author of this email states that this new recall "would make our Motrin project look small. . . ." (A copy of this email is attached for your reference.)

This email raises at least two significant questions. First, was Johnson & Johnson considering conducting a phantom recall of children's medicine? Second, this email is dated June 30, 2009, but your recall of millions of bottles of Children's Tylenol was not announced until April 30, 2010. Was Johnson & Johnson aware of problems with Children's Tylenol and other children's medicines months before it actually recalled these products?

In addition, the Committee has obtained an email dated May 27, 2009, in which the president of Johnson & Johnson's McNeil subsidiary appears to approve the phantom recall of certain adult Motrin, saying "Let's make this happen ASAP." (See copy attached.) If true, this raises serious questions about the actions of the managers at the highest levels of a company that is one of the largest producers of children's medication. Please be prepared to discuss this issue at the September 30, 2010 hearing."

An Act for Establishing Religious Freedom, Passed In The Assembly Of Virginia In The Beginning Of The Year 1786

"Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free; that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burdens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion, who being Lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do; that the imperious presumption of legislators and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time; that to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves, is sinful and tyrannical; that even the forcing him to support this or that teacher of his own religious persuasion, is depriving him of the comfortable liberty of giving his contributions to the particular pastor whose morals he would make his pattern, and whose powers he feels most persuasive to righteousness, and is withdrawing from the ministry those temporal rewards, which proceeding from an approbation of their personal conduct, are an additional incitement to earnest and unremitting labors for the instruction of mankind; that our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions, more than our opinions in physics and geometry; that, therefore, the proscribing any citizen as unworthy the public confidence by laying upon him an incapacity of being called to the offices of trust and emolument, unless he professes or renounce this or that religious opinion, is depriving him injuriously of those privileges and advantages to which in common with his fellow citizens he has a natural right; that it tends also to corrupt the principles of that very religion it is meant to encourage, by bribing, with a monopoly of worldly honors and emoluments, those who will externally profess and conform to it; that though indeed these are criminal who do not withstand such temptation, yet neither are those innocent who lay the bait in their way; that to suffer the civil magistrate to intrude his powers into the field of opinion and to restrain the profession or propagation of principles, on the supposition of their ill tendency, is a dangerous fallacy, which at once destroys all religious liberty, because he being of course judge of that tendency, will make his opinions the rule of judgment, and approve or condemn the sentiments of others only as they shall square with or differ from his own; that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted to freely contradict them.

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly, That no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.

We are free to declare, and do declare, that the rights hereby asserted are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right."

Intolerance, Social Justice, and Reconciliation In Film

“Again and again, tiny miracles of humanity are revealed in these films, in accord with the words of the Talmud: “Whoever saves one life, saves the entire world.”

Risperdal's top 20 side effects reported to MedWatch between Jan. 2004 and Dec. 2006:

#1: Death - 308 Cases

Congress shall make NO Law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, …..

If our US Supreme Court can extend a 1^st Amendment Penumbra to Larry Flynt over the hatchet job he did on Jerry Falwell, that same Penumbra needs to boot The Illuminati Out of involving Itself in Other People’s Spiritual Transmutations of Inalienable into Completely Alienable such as Not becoming Risperdal’s #309 because of some Film Viewing Seminar no matter How tiny its Miracles in accord with the Talmud may Reveal themselves to be to Doc Lu & ‘Brother David’.

Miracles can Not Reveal themselves on Film, …… Because, ….. Films are at Most, 3 hours long. In those 3 hours the Human Experience must be Archetyped into Spoon Size nuggets which evoke a particular response in the viewer. The characters Must be Trimmed into 3 hrs. If you watched a Film about Horse Racing would you Really Know the Actors & would you really Smell what's being shoveled out of the Stables?

Intolerance, Social Justice (???) and Reconciliation In Film

Social Justice is the Justice of the Ant Heap, and it IS Prohibited by the US Constitution whether our Judiciary will recognize it as Unlawful or not.

IF you believe that Social Justice trumps our Constitution, then we suggest that you Repeal the 1^st Amendment and inflict that Social Justice Lawfully, ….. and Good Luck to you, as the unenlightened peasants storm your Social Justice with torches & pitchforks.

The Spiritual/Religious Government Enriched Social Justice crowd does not Dare try to repeal the 1^st Amendment Openly, so they declare Everyone except Themselves Crazy, (before even Asking them how they liked the film) and inflict their Collective from Behind with a ‘Diagnosis’, ….. as the Illuminati email each other about Movies.

The Psychiatric Industry is a Criminal Fraud on its very Face. It Advertises itself as selling ‘Mental Health’. It Has no ‘Mental Health’ to sell. All that it Does have to sell are Labels of ‘Mental Illness’ which it ‘Treats’ through Causing Psychosis, Real Diseases, and Death, while flat out Lying about it.

Psychiatry does Not have the Guts to Admit to the Consumer just what its poisonous drugs actually are, which is Another Fraud it palms off under the rubric of ‘Therapeutic Privilege’.

The Esalen Gratefulnessers Do Belive that They are the Chosen. They are the Elite, because They watch the Right Movies and They read the Right Books. And the Supreme Law of the land: The Constitution, doesn’t appear to be the Right reading material, ….. to them.

They Are, ….. the Illuminati.

Just to show you how easy it is; let’s take a Seemingly Difficult Amendment from the Constitution.

Amendment III

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

With Soldiers quartered in your home & abusing your family, you Might be able to eject them. Psychiatry’s Drugs & Horseshit Theories are Worse because they’re taken on trust and only After the damage is done do people realize the Need to eject them Both. And as for the “Prescribed by Law” Escape clause, That will be addressed in our upcoming examination of California’s 2004 Bucket of Special Interest ‘Mental Health’ Dog Rockets known as Prop 63.

Since Nothing which openly, flagrantly violates the Entire Bill of Rights can be Lawful, How Then is it, that Psychiatry flourishes?

As a nation we’ve settled into believing ourselves adquately informed through nightly doses of America’s Got Talent and the Evening Face Makers Emoting their reactions to happenings of Non Importance.

"Whale Trainer Killed by Killer Whale at Whale World."

How do you suppose those Wild Animals came to be called 'Killer' in the 1st place?

Cultural Comptence

Now, on This Stuff; If You, invoke Culture/Race in Your dealings with Anyone else, Especially when Money trades hands, ….. You, will get yourself Slammed into a $10,000 per Count Government Hurt Locker.

But since Psychiatry is (chem cartel owned) Govt. Sanctioned & Govt. Paid, its invoking of Culture/Race is Not Illegal, as it would be if You were invoking it even though you Are invoking it because the Supply Faucet of this Hose Job is screwed Penny Proof tight into Your wallet, BY Government.

Try, just Try, ..... Billing the US Govt. for Your providing of Govt. Funded Housing which specializes in the Cultural/Spiritual/Religious/Housing needs of White, Born Again Christians. Tell Govt. that you Specialize in White, Born Again Christians and that your Trade Association has presented you with Awards for Specializing in Billing Government to Minister to White, Born Again Christians, ...... & Other White, Born Again Christians have dropped a $250,000 Endowed Professorship upon you, because All you Do is Bill Government to Minister to White, Born Again Christians without even Providing any actual Housing.

And make Sure to tell them on your request for Reimbursement that You, are a member in Good Standing of The Illuminati. That'll speed things Right up, immediately after the New York Times Writes you up.

And Which flavor of Glade is it again, under the bathroom sink of these 'Illuminati'?
