FDA VAROITTAA ADHD-LÄÄKKEIDEN RISKEISTÄ

"Meanwhile, the FDA is seeking the panel's advice on what information it should provide to the public about the ADHD drugs that are widely used in children while it's collecting information on the number of types of psychiatric events possibly associated with ADHD drugs along with possible cardiovascular risks.

The agency is concerned with possible cardiovascular events in people using the drugs. Earlier this year Health Canada ordered Adderall off the market after reports of sudden death in 20 patients, including 12 reports of stroke."

Tuossahan kerrotaan, että FDA kerää tietoa psykiatristen kohtausten määrästä kohdistuen ADHD-lääkkeisiin kuten myös mahdollisista sydän- ja verisuoniriskeistä (cardiovascular risks).

FDA:ta huolestuttaa sydän- ja verisuoniongelmat ihmisillä, jotka käyttävät näitä lääkkeitä.

FDA ALERT ON VIOLENCE- AND SUICIDE-INDUCING STIMULANTS

June 28, 2005: The Food and Drug Administration says that “ADHD” stimulants cause visual hallucinations, aggression, violent and suicidal behavior….

Since the 1980s, Citizens Commission on Human Rights has exposed the dangers of stimulants such as Ritalin prescribed for the psychiatric invention, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). For years psychiatry has promoted the notion of a “chemical imbalance” to prescribe psychiatric drugs to over eight million schoolchildren - a $1 billion dollar a year industry - despite the fact that no medical or scientific test has ever validated psychiatry’s theories about chemical imbalances. Medical experts say there is no evidence that ADHD exists as a physical, neurobiological disease and that prescribing cocaine-like stimulants for something that cannot be physically diagnosed is child abuse.

On June 28, 2005, The FDA finally ordered labeling changes to methylphenidate [Ritalin] products, including Concerta to warn that these drugs can cause “psychiatric events.” These are described as “visual hallucinations, suicidal ideation, psychotic behavior, as well as aggression or violent behavior.” Click HERE to read the article.

Bruce Wiseman, president of CCHR in the U.S., says, “Parents have been denied information on these dangerous suicide and violence-inducing drug side effects for years, unwittingly placing their children at risk. The public awareness raised in the media recently about these and other psychiatric drugs and Congressional Hearings into why such information has been withheld, may finally mean that parents will be able to make truly informed decisions about protecting their children's health, instead of being further victimized by psychiatry's smoke-and-mirrors history of fraud and deceit."

PSYCHIATRIC WATCHDOG SPEAKS OUT ABOUT TOM CRUISE SPEAKING OUT

Group warns about national crisis of child drugging with “kiddy cocaine”
and suicide-inducing antidepressants
Video exposes the hoax of psychiatry’s “chemical imbalance” theory


The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a psychiatric watchdog group, said Tom Cruise’s remarks on NBC’s Today Show (Friday, June 24) represent a growing public awareness about the national crisis of children and adults being prescribed mind-altering drugs. More than 8 million children in the United States now take these drugs; millions more abuse them. Today the group released a White Paper on “Common Psychiatric Drugs and Their Effects” that educates people about the physically and mentally damaging effects of psychotropic drugs that are often prescribed for a “chemical imbalance” medical experts say doesn’t exist. Accompanying this is a video documentary on the group’s website, www.cchr.org, that includes prominent doctors, neurologists and psychiatrists debunking the hoax of mental disorders being physically based or the result of a chemical imbalance.

“The paper provides information that psychiatrists are not going to tell people, enabling them to make an informed choice,” CCHR’s international president, Jan Eastgate said. She slammed the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and affiliated mental health organizations that tout false statistics to the media about the number of Americans suffering from “mental illness” which she said is a fraudulent misrepresentation.

Ms. Eastgate said, “The Today Show interview was a warning that people need to study psychiatry and its purported research rather than accepting at face value concepts such as a chemical imbalance in the brain is causing their problems, which can deny them real help. In any media interview with a psychiatrist he should be asked what lab test he uses to determine this. There isn’t one.”

The “chemical imbalance” theory, popularized by marketing, is “no more than psychiatric wishful thinking,” the group’s U.S. president, author and former educator, Bruce Wiseman says. “It has been thoroughly discredited by researchers, doctors and scientists. The only reason it exists is that it makes it easier for psychiatrists to drug vulnerable and often desperate individuals. It is driven by more than $23 billion in drug sales each year.”

Appearing in CCHR’s video is Dr. Julian Whitaker, author and founder of the highly respected Whitaker Wellness Center in California, who says that psychiatry is a pseudoscience. “There’s no pathology. There’s no blood test. There’s no lab test. There’s no x-ray. Psychiatrists list out and vote on clusters of behavior and call them a disease. They are giving drugs to millions of people who do not have a defined medical problem.”

Also interviewed is New York psychiatrist Ron Leifer who says, "There's no biological imbalance. When people come to me and they say, 'I have a biochemical imbalance,' I say, 'Show me your lab tests.' There are no lab tests. So what's the biochemical imbalance?"

Based on this false theory, millions of people have fallen prey to psychiatric treatment: stimulants and antidepressants have induced teenagers to go on murderous shooting sprees (8 out of 13 school shootings, such as the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, were committed by teens on psychiatric drugs). Mothers on these drugs have killed their children or cut off the arms of their baby while taking these drugs. Electroshock—the firing of up to 460 volts of electricity across the temples—is damaging the brains of over 100,000 Americans every year.

Because of the influence of psychiatry in the nation’s schools, hundreds of parents have also been forced to place their children on psychotropic drugs as a requisite for their education, an abuse CCHR and others countered with congressional support last year. The Prohibition of Mandatory Medication amendment now prohibits this practice.

For 14 years, CCHR, which was established by the Church of Scientology, has also worked with parents and concerned groups to expose the violence and suicide-inducing effects of antidepressants. Last October, the Food and Drug Administration ordered a “black box” label for antidepressants that the drugs could cause suicide. But these reforms are not enough to curb what CCHR says is a “national crisis” of child drugging and psychotropic drug abuse.

The International Narcotics Control Board says that 80% of the world’s Ritalin consumption is in the United States. This is a drug that medical studies show can predispose children to later cocaine use because Ritalin and cocaine derive from similar chemical properties. A study of 500 children over 26 years by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley found that Ritalin is basically a “gateway drug” to other drugs, in particular cocaine. A recent survey by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America found 10% of teens abuse the stimulants Ritalin and Adderall. Between 1995 and 1999, the use of antidepressants increased 580% in the under-6 population and 151% in the 7-12 age group.

In some communities, 20% of children are taking stimulants, according to Drug Enforcement Administration pharmacologist Gretchen Feussner. “That should be a wake-up call that something isn't right," Feussner said.

“Psychiatrists are society’s biggest drug pushers,” Wiseman says. “People do suffer from serious mental difficulties or life-crippling problems and their methods of coping with this can fail. Psychiatrists exploit this, marketing drugs for conditions they admit they do not know the cause of or can cure. Fraud involves intentional deception or deliberate misrepresentation to secure money, rights or privilege. Americans are waking up to this psychiatric fraud.”

The group’s White Paper, “Common Psychiatric Drugs and Their Effects,” and other website publications warn people that they should not stop taking psychiatric drugs unless it is under medical advice and supervision. They stress the need to find competent medical (not psychiatric) doctors who can do thorough physical examinations to determine what could be underlying and causing emotional problems.

CCHR COMMISSIONERS’ COMMENTS


Dr. Thomas Szasz “We should honor CCHR because it is really the organization that for the first time in human history has organized a politically, socially, internationally significant voice to combat psychiatry. This has never happened in human history before.”

Dr. Thomas Szasz, Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at the State University of New York Health Science Center and internationally acclaimed author



Dr. Patience Koloko “It is a joy to work with CCHR and it is my fervent hope that we succeed in keeping the flame of freedom burning brightly for our children and our children’s children so that some day we have a real future [in South Africa], without psychiatry.”

Dr. Patience Koloko, President, National Traditional African Healers Association of South Africa



Dr. Megan Shields “I became a CCHR Commissioner because I think that fighting psychiatric abuse is one of the most important struggles in the world today. As a physician I have seen thousands of people that have been broken by psychiatric abuse. Their lives have been ruined by barbaric practices and toxic drugs. There is no excuse for this. The first rule of medicine is primum non nocere—‘first do no harm.’ Should a psychiatrist who destroys the lives he touches be called a physician? I will continue this fight until the war is won and physicians have taken responsibility, stopping the harm in the name of help and giving genuine help where it is needed.”

Dr. Megan Shields, Family Physician



Dr. Conrad Maulfair “Being a Commissioner of CCHR has exposed me to an overwhelming amount of factual data that has corroborated my earlier suspicions about psychiatry’s lack of science. As a Commissioner I have an impact on making others aware of psychiatry’s insidious and destructive motives and can effectively contribute to cleaning up the field of mental healing.”

Dr. Conrad Maulfair, DO



Colleen Maulfair “The idea that our society is drugging schoolchildren is abhorrent to me and I want to do something to stop this destruction of our future generations. As a Commissioner of CCHR I am participating in a very effective group that is getting the job done.”

Colleen Maulfair, Executive, Maulfair Medical Center



William Tutman, Ph.D. “As a former clinical psychologist I became a CCHR Commissioner because I recognize it as a group that shares my own disdain for the ideals and purposes of psychology and psychiatry.”

William Tutman, Ph.D., Former executive of the U.S. Committee To Stop the Federal Violence Initiative



Tim Bowles “With a law practice committed to eliminating healthcare fraud, I am honored to serve as a commissioner of CCHR International. For over 30 years, CCHR has been in the forefront of investigation and elimination of psychiatric abuse in the mental, education and justice fields. There is much work to be done, but thanks to CCHR and its dedicated staff, the world is indeed becoming a safer place.”

Tim Bowles, Esq, attorney



“I had become familiar with the work of CCHR in the human rights area as it pertains to psychiatric misconduct and the related psychotropic drug abuse. I found CCHR to be unrelenting in its efforts to expose the wrongdoers and to assure the end of their activities. CCHR’s efforts to defend the victims of this misconduct and abuse has been impressive. Finally, it is clear beyond question that principles based upon concern for human rights motivates CCHR. For these reasons, I am proud to be a CCHR Commissioner.”

Jonathan Lubell, New York attorney and former president of the National Lawyers Guild, New York City Chapter



Lord Duncan McNair “My grandfather was the President of the European Court of Human Rights. He was also an observer at the Nuremberg Trials. Following the Trials, the Nuremberg Code set strict limits of what could be done to patients in the name of science. The Code is not being followed by those in the psychiatric profession as I had the misfortune to observe for myself when seeing an electric shock ‘treatment’ procedure. I asked the patients what they felt and thought about what they had been through and they told me about terror, about despair at the loss of memory, and headaches so bad you couldn’t dream them in your worst nightmares. I am standing with CCHR as a Commissioner to ensure that the Nuremberg Code is followed and that people are no longer subjected to the horrors of shock treatment or any other experimentation that passes as ‘treatment.’”

Lord Duncan McNair, Former member of the British Parliament in Britain



Beverly Eakman “CCHR is this wonderful international body of people who refuse to accept the word can’t. CCHR is the only organization that’s playing hardball against the psychiatric cartel. They were the first to seriously spearhead an actual movement against it. They have steadfastly insisted on the individual’s constitutional right to freedom of conscience and worked tirelessly to protect the rights of all parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children.”

Beverly Eakman, President of U.S. National Education Consortium, Author of Cloning of the American Mind: Eradicating Morals through Education



David Pomeranz “I got involved with CCHR after having personally witnessed a beloved family member’s psychiatric mistreatment while growing up. It was such a great source of sadness and frustration for me as a boy to sit back and watch this person I loved go through the horrors of psychiatric drug-induced hallucinations or suffer memory loss from the battery of shock treatments she received…Today, stimulant drugs are being administered like candy to schoolchildren who talk back in class and adults by the millions are prescribed antidepressants for having such ludicrous ‘brain chemistry’ maladies as Winter Seasonal Disorder. We’re becoming a kind of ‘BRAVE NEW WORLD’ in which anyone considered ‘abnormal’ is ‘treated’ into complacency. This is a frightening and disgraceful proposition and CCHR is doing something about it!!”

David Pomeranz, Nine-time platinum award-winning composer/lyricist and recording artist



Steven David Horwich “More than any other group, CCHR has placed itself on the front lines of perhaps the most important battle confronting civilization today—the elimination of what is essentially a ‘voodoo science’: psychiatry. CCHR fights tooth and nail to enlighten the public regarding psychiatric abuses and they have won many significant victories, saving many lives. For this reason alone, they deserve real support.”

Steven David Horwich, Emmy and Drama-logue Award-winning writer, composer and director



Harriet Schock “I have a personal interest in forwarding the vital work of CCHR. My aunt, who had signed to sing as a coloratura soprano for the Metropolitan, was institutionalized before she had a chance to fulfill her creative destiny. She was given shock treatment and died in that institution. CCHR’s continued vigilance, persistence and effectiveness in stopping such inhumane atrocities as well as in helping stem the enormous tide of mind-altering drugs that are drowning our adults and children—these are the reasons I support their tireless efforts.”

Harriet Schock, Platinum and gold songwriter who wrote the Grammy nominated “Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady”



Raven Kane Campbell “For 21 years, I’ve watched CCHR grow and with its dedicated staff, they are indeed cleaning up the field of mental health. They are really taking responsibility for all of it—everything from passing new laws regarding the rights of mental patients to exposing psychiatry’s crimes. I see hope for the future because of the hard work and stellar confront of the ‘wonder team’ known as CCHR.”

Raven Kane Campbell, Composer and performer, Broadway star



“When my son was four he suffered from migraine headaches, misemotion and irrational behavior. This went on for a whole year. By simply taking him off sugar and getting him chiropractic adjustments, within two weeks he was totally handled. There are sane ways of fixing upsets and irrational behavior that have nothing at all to do with the insanity of psychiatry. I wanted to help warn other parents about this.”

Nancy Cartwright, Emmy Award-winning actress and voice-over artist, best known as the “Voice of Bart Simpson.”



Isaac Hayes “CCHR is an inspirational group with an impressive and dedicated history of achieving valuable human rights and reform in society. African Americans and black communities all over the world have been the target of psychiatry’s racial inferiority theories, which led to substandard education being given to many of them. These people have suffered under oppression and racism; as a result it is a normal reaction for them not to feel good about life. Yet psychiatrists even redefine this as a mental disorder. CCHR has a commitment to improving conditions in the mental health field by exposing abuses like this—all well documented—and they are effectively doing something about them. That is why I became a Commissioner of their organization and why I ask that you listen to what they have to say.”

Isaac Hayes, Grammy Award-winning composer, musician and actor; international advocate for literacy



Jason Lee “Billions of dollars are being spent on the ‘War on Drugs,’ but we ignore the legal drugs that are being pushed on children and teens. I don’t agree with psychiatrists falsely labeling and drugging anyone, let alone children. It’s pretty obvious at this point that it’s done more harm than good.”

Jason Lee, actor



Cass Warner “I have personally witnessed the deterioration of the entertainment industry and lives of highly creative people due to the effects of psychiatry and its falsehoods. When I found out that there was something I could do to bring out the truth about psychiatry’s atrocities by becoming a CCHR Commissioner, I jumped at the opportunity.

“CCHR is an extremely effective force for change. I have witnessed the reforms they have instituted: the bills they have created and gotten passed that protect the rights of patients and minority groups; and I am honored to be a part of this group. It is a privilege to assist in bringing psychiatric abuses out into the open and to help clean up the field of mental health. Individuals who contribute to and are part of this movement have the courage and commitment to fight for the restoration of basic human rights—an incredibly admirable endeavor. Responsibility means to care, and CCHR is demonstrating a high level of such care and has been doing so for decades.”

Cass Warner, President and Founder of Warner Sisters Productions, author



Jim Meskimen “CCHR earns my support and respect because of their willingness to cut through the complexities surrounding mental health abuses, and help to bring criminals operating in this field to justice. Often in a wide-scale emergency, such as the one Americans face today in the field of mental health, a small group initially recognizes the problem and sounds the alarm for others who are unconscious to the threat. Such a group must be very dedicated, to face the dangers head on and to steel themselves against doubting public opinion until the threat is widely recognized. Such a dedicated group is the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. Not only do they act as tireless monitors of psychiatry, but they are effective in following through with the exact actions needed to effect change, all the while taking the time to better educate the public and government with cold, hard facts, well-presented and well-documented. Vigilant, courageous, thorough and responsible. These words best characterize the men and women of CCHR.”

Jim Meskimen, Actor, voice artist and veteran New York and Los Angeles improvisational actor



Tamra Meskimen “I am a Commissioner for CCHR because I believe that there are other ways to handle mental health problems besides giving a person, or forcing them to take a pill. Often the person becomes dependent on these drugs and this, in turn, actually creates other problems. Psychiatry treats man as a chemical imbalance—which is false—and utterly neglects the fact that he is a spiritual being. To maintain one’s spirituality is an inherent human right and that is what is being violated by psychiatry every day.”

Tamra Meskimen, Actress, veteran New York and Los Angeles improvisational actress



Miles Watkins “As a child I watched in terror while my mother pleaded with her psychiatrists not to be given electro-shock therapy again—a barbaric practice which never did her anything but harm and to which she was subjected multiple times over a period of years. I became a Commissioner of CCHR to lend my personal support to the strongest organization I’ve found at effectively exposing psychiatric abuses worldwide and the atrocities committed daily under the guise of ‘mental health.’”

Miles Watkins, B.A., Film writer and director

FDA warns of ADHD treatment's side effects

Published on: 06/30/05

WASHINGTON — The government is planning to strengthen warnings about possible psychiatric side effects from Concerta and related treatments for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and is probing whether other ADHD drugs need updating, too.

Concerta is a long-acting form of methylphenidate, sold generically and under the brand name Ritalin. For years, those drugs' labels have listed possible psychiatric side effects, such as agitation, psychosis or transient depression.

But a routine Food and Drug Administration review of Concerta's use in children turned up more reports of psychiatric reactions than anticipated, including some that aren't explicitly labeled, such as suicidal thoughts, hallucinations and violent behavior. A subsequent review of all methylphenidate products found similar reports.

The FDA can't say if the drugs actually cause those side effects.

But, in a statement posted on its Web site, the agency said it does intend to strengthen the labeled warnings for all methylphenidate products.

Currently, the drugs' labels may downplay the seriousness of psychiatric side effects, and suggest they're only a risk in people who've already experienced psychiatric disorders, wrote FDA drug safety evaluator Kathleen Phelan.

Indeed, stimulant drugs "may exacerbate symptoms and reveal them for the first time" in children with previously unrecognized psychiatric illnesses, she wrote.

But, among 36 cases of psychiatric side effects in children using Concerta, six report histories of psychiatric illness, three deny such histories and there's no information on the rest, Phelan wrote. Further investigation is needed to determine if such side effects may also occur in people without underlying illness, she added.

The FDA said it doesn't intend to change the drugs' labels right away. It is investigating whether similar behaviors are seen with additional ADHD treatments, said an FDA document prepared for a meeting of the agency's scientific advisers on Thursday.

Concerta maker Johnson & Johnson declined immediate comment.

sillä jos samat uutiset kertoo kuin muut, ei nimeä voi laskea pahennukseksi. CCHR:n sähköpostista aukesi esimerkiksi oheinen The New York Timesissa ollut uutinen FDA:sta:

The agency is issuing twice the number of public advisories about drug risks as it did a year ago and adding five times as many black box warnings -- its most serious alert -- to drug labels. And drugs approved in the first half of this year took almost twice as long to get that approval as drugs approved in the same period last year.

This new conservatism, a response to fierce recent criticism from Congress that the F.D.A. has failed to protect the public against drug dangers, has upset some doctors and drug makers.

Varoituksia lääkkeistä siis lisätään FDA:n taholta, jossa CCHR vain välikädessä uutisoimassa samoja uutisia kuin noista muistakin riippumattomista tahoista löytyy.

kannattaa nyt sijoittaa. Eräs Lilly-yhtiön suuromistsja on George W Bushin perhe. Bush onkin ehdottanut, että kaikki koululaiset pitää testata, ja selvittää näin kansan psyykkiset sairaudet. Sen jälkeen ongelma hoidetaankin lääkityksellä.

Hohhoijaa:lla on hyvä neuvo meille kaikille yletön lääkkeensyöntnti ei kansalaista hyödytä. Se kannattaa lopettaa jo heti!
