SEPTEMBER 2, 2012. The medical cartel, one of a handful of evolving
super-cartels that strive for more power every day, is rife with so much
fraud it's astounding. In the psychiatric arena, for example, an open secret
has been bleeding out into public consciousness for the past ten years.


THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE LABORATORY TESTS FOR ANY SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDER.
And along with that:


ALL SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDERS ARE CONCOCTED, NAMED, LABELED, DESCRIBED, AND
CATEGORIZED by a committee of psychiatrists, from menus of human behaviors.
Their findings are published in periodically updated editions of The
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), printed by the
American Psychiatric Association.


For years, even psychiatrists have been blowing the whistle on this hazy
crazy process of "research."
Of course, pharmaceutical companies, who manufacture highly toxic drugs to
treat every one of these "disorders," are leading the charge to invent more
and more mental-health categories, so they can sell more drugs and make more
money.
But we have a mind-boggling twist. Under the radar, one of the great
psychiatric stars, who has been out in front inventing mental disorders,
went public. He blew the whistle on himself and his colleagues. And for 2
years, almost no one noticed.
His name is Dr. Allen Frances, and he made VERY interesting statements to
Gary Greenberg, author of a Wired article: "Inside the Battle to Define
Mental Illness." (Dec.27, 2010).
Major media never picked up on the interview in any serious way. It never
became a scandal.


Dr. Allen Frances is the man who, in 1994, headed up the project to write
the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the DSM-IV. This tome defines
and labels and describes every official mental disorder. The DSM-IV
eventually listed 297 of them.
In an April 19, 1994, New York Times piece, "Scientist At Work," Daniel
Goleman called Frances "Perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at
the moment..."
Well, sure. If you're sculpting the entire canon of diagnosable mental
disorders for your colleagues, for insurers, for the government, for Pharma
(who will sell the drugs matched up to the 297 DSM-IV diagnoses), you're
right up there in the pantheon.
Long after the DSM-IV had been put into print, Dr. Frances talked to Wired's
Greenberg and said the following:
"There is no definition of a mental disorder. It's bullshit. I mean, you
just can't define it."
BANG.
That's on the order of the designer of the Hindenburg, looking at the burned
rubble on the ground, remarking, "Well, I knew there would be a problem."


After a suitable pause, Dr. Frances remarked to Greenberg, "These concepts
[of distinct mental disorders] are virtually impossible to define precisely
with bright lines at the borders."
Frances might have been referring to the fact that his baby, the DSM-IV, had
rearranged earlier definitions of ADHD and Bipolar to permit many MORE
diagnoses, leading to a vast acceleration of drug-dosing with highly
powerful and toxic compounds.
Finally, at the end of the Wired interview, Frances flew off into a bizarre
fantasy:


"Diagnosis [as spelled out in the DSM-IV] is part of the magic...you know
those medieval maps? In the places where they didn't know what was going on,
they wrote 'Dragons live here'...we have a dragon's world here. But you
wouldn't want to be without the map."
Translation: People need to hope for the healing of their troubles; so even
if we psychiatrists are shooting blanks and pretending to know one kind of
mental disorder from another, even if we're inventing these mental-disorder
definitions based on no biological or chemical diagnostic tests---it's a
good thing, because people will then believe there is hope for them; they'll
believe it because we place a name on their problems...


If this is medical science, a duck is a rocket ship.

If I were an editor at one of the big national newspapers, and one of my
reporters walked in and told me, "The most powerful psychiatrist in America
just said the DSM is sheer b.s. But it's still important," I think I'd make
room on the front page.

If the reporter then added, "This shrink was in charge of creating the
DSM-IV," I'd clear more room above the fold.

If the reporter went on to explain that the whole profession of psychiatry
would collapse overnight if the DSM was discredited, I'd call for a special
section of the paper to be printed.

I'd tell the reporter to get ready to pound on this story day after day for
months. I'd tell him to track down all the implications of Dr. Frances'
statements.

I'd open a bottle of champagne to toast the soon-to-be-soaring sales of my
newspaper.
And then, of course, the next day I'd be fired.
Because there are powerful multi-billion-dollar interests at stake, and
those people don't like their deepest secrets exposed in the press.

And as I walked out of my job, I'd see a bevy of blank-eyed pharmaceutical
executives marching into the office of the paper's publisher, ready to read
the riot act to him.
Keep in mind that Dr. Frances' work on the DSM IV allowed for MORE toxic
drugs to be prescribed, because the definition of Bipolar was expanded to
include more people.


Adverse effects of Valproate (given for a Bipolar diagnosis) include:
acute, life-threatening, and even fatal liver toxicity;
life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas;
brain damage.


Adverse effects of Lithium (also given for a Bipolar diagnosis) include:
intercranial pressure leading to blindness;
peripheral circulatory collapse;
stupor and coma.


Adverse effects of Risperdal (given for "Bipolar" and "irritability stemming
from autism") include:
serious impairment of cognitive function;
fainting;
restless muscles in neck or face, tremors (may be indicative of motor brain
damage).
Dr. Frances self-admitted label-juggling act also permitted the definition
of ADHD to expand, thereby opening the door for greater and greater use of
Ritalin (and other similar compounds) as the treatment of choice.


So what about Ritalin?
In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a most
important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called "An Outline
of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate)" [v.21(7), pp.
837-841].

Scarnati listed a large number of adverse affects of Ritalin and cited
published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms.

For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin
effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature:

Paranoid delusions
Paranoid psychosis
Hypomanic and manic symptoms, amphetamine-like psychosis
Activation of psychotic symptoms
Toxic psychosis
Visual hallucinations
Auditory hallucinations
Can surpass LSD in producing bizarre experiences
Effects pathological thought processes
Extreme withdrawal
Terrified affect
Started screaming
Aggressiveness
Insomnia
Since Ritalin is considered an amphetamine-type drug, expect
amphetamine-like effects
Psychic dependence
High-abuse potential DEA Schedule II Drug
Decreased REM sleep
When used with antidepressants one may see dangerous reactions including
hypertension, seizures and hypothermia
Convulsions
Brain damage may be seen with amphetamine abuse.


A recent survey revealed that a high percentage of children diagnosed with
bipolar had first received a diagnosis of ADHD. This is informative, because
Ritalin and other speed-type drugs are given to kids who are slapped with
the ADHD label. Speed, sooner or later, produces a crash. This is easy to
call "clinical depression." Then comes Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft. These drugs
can produce temporary highs, followed by more crashes. The psychiatrist
notices the up and down pattern-and then comes the diagnosis of Bipolar
(manic-depression) and other drugs, including Valproate and Lithium.
In the US alone, there are at least 300,000 cases of motor brain damage
incurred by people who have been prescribed so-called anti-psychotic drugs
(aka "major tranquilizers"). Risperdal (mentioned above as a drug given to
people diagnosed with Bipolar) is one of those major tranquilizers. (source:
Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin, St. Martin's Press, 1991)
This psychiatric drug plague is accelerating across the land.


Where are the mainstream reporters and editors and newspapers and TV anchors
who should be breaking this story and mercilessly hammering on it week after
week? They are in harness.
And Dr. Frances is somehow let off the hook. He's admitted in print that the
whole basis of his profession is throwing darts at labels on a wall, and
implies the "effort" is rather heroic-when, in fact, the effort leads to
more and more poisonous drugs being dispensed to adults and children, to say
nothing of the effect of being diagnosed with "a mental disorder." I'm not
talking about "the mental-disease stigma," the removal of which is one of
Hillary Clinton's missions in life. No, I'm talking about MOVING A HUMAN
INTO THE SYSTEM, the medical apparatus, where the essence of the game is
trapping that person to harvest his money, his time, his energy, and of
course his health---as one new diagnosis follows on another, and one new
toxic treatment after another is undertaken, from cradle to grave. The
result is a severely debilitated human being (if he survives), whose major
claim to fame is his list of diseases and disorders, which he learns to wear
like badges of honor.
Thank you, Dr. Frances.
