Despite western society having been conditioned through slick marketing by multi-national pharmaceuticals to believe that there is a pill and quick fix for everything from birth to death, many patients are finding themselves with catastrophic illnesses previously unheard of. Ethical doctors and scientists are proving daily that these new diseases are actually caused by the medical system.
Dementia is now regarded as a rampant epidemic and American psychiatrist and author of Drug-Induced Dementia: A Perfect Crime and Rethinking Psychiatric Drugs: A Guide for Informed Consent, Grace E. Jackson has blown the whistle on drug-induced dementia by cataloguing overwhelming evidence of the fact that the real culprit behind the epidemic of dementia is modern medicine and drug treatment, and in particular psychiatric drug treatment. She spends her professional life lecturing and writing about the dangers of psychiatric drug treatments and their ability to cause mental illness.
The Beginning of Psychiatric Drug Treatment and Iatrogenic Illness
Jackson’s research proves that the 1950 marriage of rocket fuel derivatives and synthetic dyes resulted in a blockbuster product for pharmaceuticals… the first anti-psychotic drug called Thorazine (chlorpromazine). All of its Parkinsonian-like side effects were entirely ignored. According to Jackson, the drug caused the patient to become so sluggish that his symptoms could be mistaken for those of sleeping sickness. Eventually, the drug caused all the hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease, including abnormal gait, dementia, involuntary movement and tremor, and stupefied the patient and flattened all feelings into what was essentially a vegetative existence. Apparently this was preferred to a crazy hallucinator and the onset of Parkinsonian effects were celebrated as evidence of the efficacy of this therapeutic progress.
Walter Last, biochemist and toxicologist in several university medical departments and author of Are Most Diseases Caused By The Medical System?, discovered that many of today’s most widespread diseases from candiasis to cancer are the direct result of what he explains as unnecessary drug therapy and the over-prescription of antibiotics. Originally a proponent of a pill-for-everything-ailing-you concept of medicine, he came to learn that for every drug treatment with its far-reaching and risky medical implications, there are natural treatments and therapies that actually heal, and at a much reduced financial, emotional and physical cost.
Staggering Social Costs of Drug Treatment
His findings were entirely consistent with Lynne McTaggart’s, the renowned author of The Field and a ground-breaking investigative journalist in the field of complementary and alternative medical treatment. Out of her passion grew the highly successful and enormously helpful website, What Doctors Don’t Tell You (WDDTY). She pointed out in an August 2010 newsletter that America is now spending about 1% of the US’s entire gross domestic product on what is largely iatrogenic (doctor-induced) illness. It seems clear that modern western medicine is now at the point where it is trying to clean up a costly problem of its own making with more drugs and treatments of the same ilk. And it seems that the clean-up starts by moving the public's focus away from the catastrophic damage of drug-therapy and surgery: Genes are now proclaimed the new culprit, despite the fact that humans have had the same genetic make-up for thousands of years and it wasn’t until the promotion of drug-therapy that catastrophic illnesses started to overwhelm society.
The damage caused by psychiatric medicine is only the tip of the iceberg. Lynne McTaggart’s latest e-news on the subject indicated that when she began to look into Jackson’s evidence of wholesale damage to the brain by pharmaceutical treatments, she discovered that a large number of the major classes of drugs that doctors give patients as they age bring on dementia (McTaggart, 2010).
“Heart drugs, cholesterol lowering drugs, sleeping pills, antidepressants, narcotics, stimulants, including Ritalin, the ADHD drug given to children, anti-cholinergics, anti-epileptic drugs, to name just a few,” states McTaggart, can all damage the structure of the brain.
Drug Therapy and Uninformed Consent
When such important research findings are suppressed and kept from the general public, can the medical system maintain any position suggesting that patients are giving their informed consent or getting the best treatment available? The answer has to be a resounding no. As long as patients are not given choices in treatment and truthful information about the medications they are prescribed, only the most cautious and skeptical can avoid becoming ill as a result of the harmful pharmaceutical drugs and additives forced on them without their knowledge or consent.
