Atypical Trials Rigged: Haldol, Risperdal, Tardive Dyskinesia & SFDPH, Again

Incidence of Tardive Dyskinesia in First Episode Psychosis Patients Treated With Low-Dose Haloperidol

Piet P. Oosthuizien, M.B,; Robin A. Emsley, M.D.; J. Stephanus Maritz, D.Sc.; Jadri A. Turner, M.B.; and N. Keyter, R.N.

"Background: previous studies suggest that the risk of tardive dyskenisia is increased with higher doses of conventional antipsychotics. This study evaluates the 12 month incidence of tardive dyskinesia in subjects with first episode psychosis who were treated with very low doses of haloperidol.

Method: Fifty-seven subjects with first-episode psychosis and a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder were treated according to a fixed protocol with a mean dose of haloperidol of 1.68 mg/day and prospectively studied for 12 months. Subjects were assessed for extrapyramidal symptoms at 3-month intervals. Data were gathered from 1999-2001.

Results: Twelve month incidence of probable or persistent tardive dyskinesia according to Schooler and Kane criteria was 12.3% (N=7).”

On jpg #1 Note the Cost of 1 month of the Atypical Antipsychotics versus 1 month of Haldol

1: aripiprazole (Abilify): $580

2: olanzapine (Zyprexa): $580

3: quetiapine (Seroquel): $465

4: risperidone (Risperdal): $475

5: ziprasidone (Geodon): $440

6: haloperidol (Haldol): $15

The Whitaker Affidavit: pg. 6 & 7

b) In the World Health Organization studies, 63% of patients in the poor countries (who can’t afford these expensive drugs) had good outcomes, and only one-third became chronically ill. In the U.S. countries and other developed countries, only 37% of patients had good outcomes, and the remaining patients did not fare so well. In the undeveloped countries, only 16% of patients were regularly maintained on antipsychotics, versus 61% of patients in the developed countries.

pg 11: The letter quoted is pre approval, from 1993.

17. Risperdal, which is manufactured by Janssen, was approved in 1994. Although it was hailed in the press as a "breakthrough" medication, the FDA, in its review of the clinical trial data, concluded that there was no evidence that this drug was better or safer than Haldol (haloperidol.) The FDA told Janssen:

"We would consider any advertisement or promotion labeling for RISPERDAL false, misleading, or lacking fair balance under section 501 (a) and 502 (n) of the ACT if there is presentation of data that conveys the impression that risperidone is superior to haloperidol or any other marketed antipsychotic drug product with regard to safety or effectiveness.”

17 years ago, and, those Drug Companies – who, unlike their blameless, gullible Behavioral $igh-entists, can afford to out lawyer even State Attorneys General –

those Drug Companies Told those gullible, rosy cheeked little Behaviorists that their drugs were Safe and Effective.

In California, Risperdal’s Integrated ‘nonjudgmental caregiving’ carries State Police Registration for its ‘Safe and Effective’. Let’s Make Police Registration Mandatory in Every State, and see how long Antipsychotics remain on the market as our Courts Clog Shut prosecuting ‘Nonjudgmental’ reimbursement OCD sufferers.

DSM-IV-TR Billing Code: 300.3 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

The Whitaker Affidavit. pg 12:

a) In 2000, a team of English researchers led by John Geddes at the University of Oxford reviewed results from 52 studies, involving 12,649 patients. They concluded: "There is no clear evidence that atypicals are more effective or are better tolerated than conventional antipsychotics." The English researchers noted that Janssen, Eli Lilly and other manufacturers of atypicals had used various ruses in their clinical trials to make their new drugs look better than the old ones. In particular, the drug companies had used "excessive doses of the comparator drug”.,,46

b) In 2005, a National Institute of Mental Health study found that that were "no significant differences" between the old drugs and the atypicals in terms of their efficacy or how well patients tolerated them. Seventy-five percent of the 1432 patients in the study were unable to stay on antipsychotics owing to the drugs' "inefficacy or intolerable side effects," or for other reasons.

Shrinks and GPs inflict these drugs on anyone for Any reason they can Bill for. One doesn’t need to be Ideated into any Mystic Illness to be rendered Safe and Effective by them, and they wouldn’t Be the blockbuster Drugs they Are, …. without Govt. Health Insurance picking up the tab. In Texas TMAP pointed 85% of that tab at Public Sector payers.

Refer back to jpg 1 and note the SFDPH Dosage of haloperidol/Haldol: 30 mg/day

1.68mg/day resulted in 12.3% Tardive Dyskinesia & SFDPH is OK with 30 mg/day. Haldol is Worth $15 per month, as opposed to $475 for Risperdal.

The SFDPH Formulary docs are dated Dec. 2007 & Jan 2009

The Low Dose Haldol/TD study is dated 6 years earlier, 1999-2001.

None of these people owned - and as of Dec 07 STILL couldn't Afford - any qualms about Intentionally Inflicting massive TD on people with the $15 Haldol to make the $580-$440 Atypicals like Risperdal look better.

But "Hope Remains For A Cure", because, ..... "Research Must Continue".

Dear State Education Employees & The World Shorts The Dollar

We’ve received a number of visits from k12.initials of yourstate.us

We welcome your interest. Please download All of the free pdfs heading this blog on the top right and share them with your co-workers, but Especially Don’t miss Charlotte Iserbyt’s “Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America”

Ms. Iserbyt’s work is a must have, because we Can’t have generations of children being dumbed down into mindless cogs in a Statist Machine if we expect to meet our goals as a free and productive nation with a standard of living which is the envy of the world.

Psychiatric and Psychological knowledge come from the same pool, and its master thinkers are routinely discovered to be confidence men.

Let’s for the moment put aside the toll in human suffering that ‘Illness Awareness’ peddlers are inflicting on family after family across America and think of our kids Only as an economic cypher.

Social Security is Broke. Medicare & Medicaid cannot meet their existing financial obligations. The new Healthcare legislation from DC is a full frontal assault on our nation’s continued economic viability, and without a solid, non-inflating currency & robust markets, we will all end up on the street.

If we Allow ‘Mental Hygiene’ to continue Labeling children OUT of the work force and ONTO lifetime SSI Disability payments we will Not be able to meet those obligations to either the Truly Disabled or the Non Disabled Retirees in the very near future.

Somebody, is going to have to pay Into SSI and Govt. Healthcare plans, and those future Somebodies in Your schools are being dragged out of the workforce wholesale by vendors of phony diseases like ADHD at a terrifying rate.

Even if you don’t care one whit about the kids in your schools, they Are your retirement check. Treat them with ultimate care and respect, or support them out of what actually Is your pocket, ….. forever. Enough with the Diagnosis, Disability, and Brain Damaging Drugs. Get it out of your schools while you still can before Everybody ends up living in cardboard boxes to support an entire nation of drug cripples, psychic swindlers, and global chemical cartels.

And:

Congressman Ron Paul has;

The World Shorts The Dollar

"A remarkable confluence of recent events has brought unprecedented but very welcome attention to both U.S. monetary policy and the global political economy in general.

First, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke recently announced that the Fed would embark upon another round of monetary easing by purchasing $600 billion worth of U.S. Treasury debt. This amounts to an admission that markets have run out of patience with our profligacy, and therefore our own central bank literally must serve as the buyer of last resort for Treasury debt.

Second, World Bank president Robert Zoellick openly suggested that gold could play a helpful role in the global monetary system by serving as reference against more volatile fiat currencies. This is almost heresy coming from a neoconservative globalist like Mr. Zoellick. It hints at an obvious but unspoken truth that is anathema to politicians and central bankers alike: namely, that gold could be viewed as…. money!

Finally, Mr. Obama attended the G20 summit in South Korea last week and found a very chilly reception for his vision of American economic policy. Mr. Obama argued for continued worldwide stimulus, via continued debasing of the U.S. dollar, to bolster American exports. Several powerful European and Asian finance ministers, however, rejected this approach out of hand as nothing short of a currency war. They are committed to austerity measures at home, and don’t want to let the U.S. simply monetize its past sins at their expense.

All of these events culminated in a tremendous amount of political and media scrutiny aimed the Fed. Ordinary Americans are demanding answers and accountability, and they are putting heat on their political representatives in Washington to end the cozy “independence” from congressional oversight the Fed has enjoyed for so long.

In the 35 years I have been studying, speaking, and writing about monetary policy I have never before seen Congress or the financial press pay much attention to the Fed. Monetary policy has always been considered boring on Capitol Hill, something left to remote policy wonks far away from the din of presidential or congressional politics. Congress always has been eager to leave Fed governors well alone, with no oversight or accountability, as long as they played along and papered over the growing budget deficits.

But it’s amazing what a global economic meltdown will do to the political and media landscape. In just two short years, the Fed has become the hot topic and a lightning rod for criticism. While it is gratifying to see so many formerly uninterested politicians, economists, talk show hosts, and pundits suddenly rally to attack the Fed, one can only wonder whether they truly understand that central banking is inherently incompatible with our Constitution and a free market economy.

In other words, it’s not enough to show outrage at the latest Fed action or argue about the relative merits of Mr. Bernanke compared to his predecessors. To reclaim our dollar and our economy, Americans must oppose central banking per se. Fiat currencies cannot be “reformed” or “managed”. They are fundamentally subject to ruinous debasement courtesy of the political and economic ruling class. History shows that this is true in all nations at all times."

Thank You Congressman Paul

Suicidal Ideations By The Numbers; Counseling Is WORSE Than Even Zoloft

Yes, you read it right. Zoloft – by itself – is Less likely to elicit the dreaded Suicidal Ideations – than Psychological Counseling Without the Zoloft. Regular Readers should have no trouble getting wrapped around That axle, but for the as yet unconverted this 2008 study from the New England Journal of Medicine, while scofflaws will dismiss it due to the seemingly minute percentiles reported, IS, unflinching.

When the kids were run through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the negative images of ultimate self harm, Suicide, popped out More often from the Psycho Babble Without the Drug, than they did With the Drug minus the Mind Drilling. It’s on the last jpg.

Suicidal Ideation

Combination of Sertraline & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy __ 12 of 140: 8.57%

Sertraline/Zoloft Without Cognitive Behavioral Therapy _____ 5 of 133: 3.76%

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Without Sertraline/Zoloft _____ 9 of 139: 6.47%

Placebo Only, No Sertraline/Zoloft or Cognitive Behavioral BS _2 of 76: 2.63%

The scorers recorded Higher percentages of Suicidal Ideations on CBT alone by roughly 80% than they scored on Zoloft Without the CBT/Psycho Prattle, and the Placebo percentages – without Either Zoloft or the Psych – should refute claims that the Zoloft actually Reduced those Suicidal Ideations.

And of course, Combining the Drugs With the Psycho Prattle, over just handing them a PEZ, elicited the Over 300% Increase in Suicidal Ideation Disaster we’ve been pointing out from the start.

And what Is Zoloft?

RAMS: Cultural Crapulence In San Francisco

Thank God that RAMS in SF is 'Culturally Competent'. Here's how that Psychiatric Cultural Competence hit the ground.



And here's that APA Kun Po Soo Award Winning Cultural Competent himself, Dr Francis G. Lu, ..... again: the former Top of the Psychiatric Food Chain in San Francisco, and City Hall Mental Health Board meeting Attendee to whom Truth Is a Relative Ideation when there's Millions of Public Dollars being chased.

Yes, This, is the same Cultural Competent whose;

"California Pacific Medical Center, and St. Francis Hospital. These are facilities that physically do not have a psychiatric emergency capability, nor the staff.”

And, just moments Earlier:

"Sutter Health announced in April closure of another 28 locked inpatient beds at CPMC"

, ..... So stunned the Other Supra Mentalists in the room - ALL of them - that they were Stricken Deaf and Dumb on the spot, ...... sort of.

OCAPICA 2004 Annual Report.

































"New partnerships and projects included the Southeast Asian Children's Health Research Project (SEACHRP) and the Diabetes Fellowship. SEACHRP was a partnership with Special Service for Groups, Cambodian Association of America, Families in Good Health, Educated Men With Meaningful Messages (???). and Khmer Girls in Action funded by First 5 Los Angeles to conduct community participatory research exploring the education, health, and social service needs of Southeast Asian children 0 to 5 year of age. The Diabetes Fellowship was a collaboration with Latino Health Access and the Orange County Health Care Agency funded by the Pacific Life Foundation to build the capacity of AAPI community members, leaders, and staff representing community based organizations in Orange County to create advocates trained in diabetes prevention, control and management."

Mental Health: Comes With FREE Diabetes






RAMS (Richmond Area Multi Services) is on the Donor List of an Asians Only Organization in Orange County, 400 Miles south of San Francisco, where they were Donating to help Asians Only OUT of developing Diabetes while they were simultaneously Prescribing Diabetes/Antipsychotics ON Their Premises In SF. And PART of RAMS Funding came from the SFUSD - San Francisco Unified School District.

Were there Culturally Competent 'Differential Diagnoses' concocted for the kids in SF's Unified School District too, or was the Diabetes just prescribed indiscriminately?

Isn't Cultural Competence peddled on the School District's Dime, Simply to Die For?






"Although addictive gambling is devastating," said Dr Chiu "it can be cured with proper counseling."

Well isn't that just special ..... considering that everybody Else is expected to wear those Incurable 'Disorders' for the rest of forever, ...... because these Diagnosers just Know, ..... Because there's Millions of Public Dollars to be snatched up In the Knowing, ...... that they Can't Cure Jack, ..... .

If you think we're Nit Picking, please explain to Yourselves how the DSM grew to contain 374 Different Incurables in it.




Pathological Gambling is an 'Incurable Mental Illness', but at RAMS an Asian Psychologist claimed it's Not Incurable, as long as it's in other Asians.

Does This mean that if we Waste another few Billion training Amish Psychiatrists in the Culturally Competent needs of Amish Citizens that They will never need to fear Bipolar or Schizophrenia again in Pennsylvania?

San Francisco is divided into local Districts. The Districts elect District Supervisors who serve at City Hall as quasi Deputy Mayors. RAMS is located in SF's Richmond District and it's Inordinately proud of it's 'Cultural Competence' in serving the needs of 'Underserved Minority Populations' of Asians and Pacific Islanders.

SF's Richmond District is 64.3% Asian.
















Just exactly When, did 64.3% become a 'Minority' of Anything?



And if you're New here, we're posting this Performance Audit Memo again.

RAMS was holding $16.3 Million in DPH contracts, and you'll get a heady whiff of how utterly misspent Every cent of that money was, & how the State of California came in and Covered it up.

RAMS is Not, an aberration.
RAMS was a 'NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER'.















"When we all work together in serving the community it is truly amazing what we can accomplish."

It certainly is, ..... on the SF Unified School District's Dime.

Are you Sure you want one of these operations springing up in Your town?

You'd better take a closer look, because odds are, you've already got one.

It will put you on SSI. Doctors and 'Therapists' Will be continually changing their Billing Code numbers in your records and trying out different combinations of psychotropic drugs in you.

Those drugs won't Cure you because there's Nothing they Can cure. Those 'Therapists' won't 'Cure' you because they Can't 'Cure' you of Their own paid Opinions.
