Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Dear All, This is an article written by a very good friend of mine who is heavily into psychiatric reform. It does hit home. As far as the pharmaceuticals are concerned, you'll see where it is the "iceing on the cake" ;o) Read on. Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington Averting the New "Ice" Age There are some Government funded "studies" going on of which we should be aware. These experiments (see article below) involve methamphetamine but are not unlike many other studies already done or now underway. Psych run drug companies, selling their services to totalitarian minded governments would like to be able to do unrestricted experiments on large populations and avoid the law suits resulting from the inevitable deaths and other nasty consequences of their "research." This is accomplished covertly with "street experimentation" as has been the case with many drugs starting in and around Harvard in 1945 with LSD-25 and progressing through a wide gamut of prescription and "recreational" or "street drugs" to this time. There are over three thousand mind altering drugs currently in the pipeline awaiting FDA approval for human testing. Many of the most dangerous of those drugs won't have to wait. They will arrive in our midst as covert, government funded operations. Once the Street experiment is underway, psychs are then overtly funded through organizations like the Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) at UCLA to study their individual and overall societal effects. To grasp what is going on, it is helpful to know certain things such as that the physical and "mental" effects of seemingly different drugs like the three main amphetamines (amphetamine, methamphetamine and dextroamphetamine) and the drug Ritalin (methylphenidate) are indistinguishable and that these effects are also indistinguishable from the effects of cocaine. In studying the effects of drugs (chemicals) on our society and the subject of "drug abuse," and the industries associated with it, including the cops and courts, the significance of the associated effects of these drugs are notable when it comes to public policy as directed by the medical/psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry. If the medicos like a mind altering chemical and can patent it and thus maximize profits from its sale, it eventuates into a "legal pharmaceutical product" and at the same time will be promoted into "black market" (illegal) use and promoted for "off label" use, meaning legal use but not the use for which the government approved it. For example: Turning America's school children into drug addicts. When the psychs talk about "mental effects" or the "mind," they are talking about the brain. When they talk about a "mind altering drug," they mean, a chemical substance or compound that alters brain chemistry, function and structure. The structure of the brain is in major part chemical, and those chemicals are involved in the brain's functions. By introducing foreign chemicals into the brain, various changes in chemistry, function and structure occur. If the chemical being used is patented or patentable and "FDA approved," like Ritalin, the use of a chemical to produce alterations of brain chemistry, function and structure are called "therapeutic." If the chemical is not patented or patentable (indicating that there is no money in it for the medical/psychiatric/pharmaceutical industrial complex), and so the chemical is not "FDA approved," like the THC in marijuana, then the effects of its altering brain chemistry, function and structure are generally called "brain damage" and thus (obviously) "non therapeutic." Some forms of brain damage cause enjoyment. For example: The purpose of electroconvulsive "therapy" is to produce permanent, irreversible brain damage. If one is hit by lightning and sustains such damage it is not considered by most to be enjoyable and the result is often labeled, "brain damage." However, when the same basic operation is performed by a medical doctor called a psychiatrist, the psychiatrist and the ex-husband enjoy it and derive pleasure from it and so call it "therapeutic." The ex-wife, to the degree she is aware of it, doesn't like the perpetual dull thud she is sitting in, the wooden affect, the unexplained emotions or lack thereof, the memory loss, i.e., brain damage (though some few eventually find it useful). The brain damage which eventuates from the use of illegal substances like marijuana or the "illegal" use of certain otherwise "legal" substances like Benzedrine (methamphetamine), Ritalin (methylphenidate) and cocaine (a legal, FDA approved drug produced for the "therapeutic" purposes of ear, nose and throat doctors) Dexedrine (another form of prescription methamphetamine), and many other substances is often studied by drug companies through public Universities as funding fronts and by the National Institutes of Health and Mental Health (another funding front that uses tax dollars). The switch from legal to illegal use is called "diversion" under our laws meaning diversion from "therapeutic" use to "abuse." Though brain damage is well known to occur in such studies of the "illegal" use of otherwise legal substances, this never seems to follow into the descriptions of the effects of such substances when the use is called "therapeutic" and thus "legal". Rather, illegal use is always labeled "abuse" of the substance. Deliberately ignored is the growing body of science indicating that the very-most-legal use of prescription mind altering chemicals cause identical brain damage to any illegal use with the only caveat being dose levels over time. As all of these substances are blocking chemicals, blocking normal brain chemistry, function and structure, and as all leave residues and often produce metabolites and residues of metabolites which continue to block normal brain chemistry, function and structure, the net result is easily measured by modern brain imaging devices and noted as the cumulative degree or amount of brain damage thus regulated by individual tolerance and dose over time. In other words, the medical/psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry wants (and has) a government granted monopoly on almost all "legal" mind altering (brain damaging) chemicals for their exclusive, "therapeutic" use. This industry directs law enforcement against what they have decided is the non-therapeutic use of such chemicals while yet promoting and popularizing their use both overtly as "medications" and covertly as "recreational" drugs. The "effects" of such use are the same: Brain damage. Thus, for accuracy, my preferred terms are simply "effect" or "effects" rather than the promotional terms, "side effect" or "therapeutic effect." All "side effects" and so-called therapeutic effects are actually "direct effects" of the particular substance being used to alter the brain and central nervous system's chemistry, function and structure. The way this works is that all of the direct effects that are not considered to be, "therapeutic," (in other words, "desirable" effects) but instead those which indicate damage to the brain or central nervous system are disowned by those in the medical/psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry. The medicos, being utterly unwilling to claim responsibility for those "undesirable" effects, invented a disassociative term to describe them. They call them "side effects." It is then claimed by the industry that "side effects cannot be anticipated or predicted." Thus members of their industry escape responsibility for catastrophes created by the negligent and irresponsible prescription of inherently dangerous products. Thus, evidence of prescription induced brain damage (the sudden, inexplicable taking up of an AK-47 to shoot everyone one knows) is a denied "side effect" while "feeling good" is considered, "a therapeutic effect," even when they occur in the same person at the same time. They are both simply direct effects of the negligent and irresponsible prescription of the inherently dangerous product. Any mind altering chemical one might be familiar with will be said to have at least one "therapeutic effect" and literally dozens of adverse ones, all indicating brain damage and the latter, all listed as "side effects." It follows that altering the central switchboard of the body affects all functions downstream through the body. Often, listed side effects include adverse reactions on or within every body system and organ from the hair to the skin to the teeth, fingernails as well as such every-day body parts as the blood, heart, liver, kidneys, etc., but it all starts with brain damage. Thus, Thorazine, which is given to minority children in "care homes" is intended to cause a type of brain damage that is indistinguishable from a lobotomy (its manufacturer actually sold it as a "chemical lobotomy"), like shock treatment, is therapeutic to the therapist and the ex-husband while the ex-wife on Thorazine, spends her days foraging our garbage cans for her daily bread (no doubt a "side effect"). All such "therapies" are fast or slow, spiritual murder. So, methamphetamine use on children for "attention deficit disorder" is called "therapeutic" but only to some teachers and some parents seeking a divorce from their children, while the illegal use of the same drug (chemical) is considered to have grotesque "side effects," including brain damage, when used "illegally" by young people or adults to "feel good." The end result of this insane distinction which is no distinction at all, is a growing population of brain damaged citizens, some called patients and some called criminals. These live their lives or not (many are now dieing), with the residues of brain altering, brain blocking chemicals cutting their lifeline to the rest of society. The solution is detoxification and a way to re-open the communication lines to their families, groups and the rest of society and for those affected by chemicals to recover within, for themselves, their own personal integrity and a direction and guidance for themselves to once again work and produce and exchange with the rest of us, the valuable exchangable products of their labors. We have such rehabilitative programs to offer. These have been tried and long ago and continuously been found to workable and to work standardly. These must be offered. These must be delivered. The alternative to the offer and delivery of this breakthrough technology is seen below in the article on methamphetamine use and in the shreds of the society around us. For those of you who may not be familiar with the term "ice" in this context, it refers to the use of amphetamine in the form of crystals the size of a pencil eraser but looking like a large piece of rock salt. The users "smoke" it, burning it as is done with rock cocaine. The results are indistinguishable when adjusted for dose differences. It can be "home made" and is now being covertly promoted into the next drug "plague." The plague has already begun in America, the main target and the site of the most experimentation and the area of greatest impact is Hawaii. "Ice" is proving particularly useful to those engaged in the ongoing race war against Native American, Hawaiian and recent-immigrant populations. If you know of others who should receive this, please pass this on to them. Dennis Clarke 13 July 2003 Hawaii Takes Part In Federal Studies On ‘Ice’ By Mary Vorsino Associated Press Sunday, July 13, 2003 At least three federally funded studies that track the effects of and possible treatments for crystal methamphetamine use -- including one that studies the effects of the drug known as "ice" on babies born to addicted mothers -- are underway in the islands. The studies may provide the first reliable data on the effects of widespread ice use in a state where the drug has existed for at least two decades, say the principal investigators for the research being wholly or partly conducted in Hawaii. Some of the studies' results may be ready for release by September, when Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona plans to hold a drug summit focusing on how to deal with the state's ice epidemic. "We are the epicenter of the methamphetamine use in this country," said Barry Carlton, the chief of psychiatry at The Queens Medical Center and the co-principal investigator of a study examining the effectiveness of medications that claim to curtail cravings for the highly addictive drug. The studies may provide a starting line from which the state could begin to create more effective programs for ice users and their families. The studies are funded in part by the National Institute for Drug Abuse, a federal organization within the National Institutes of Health. Two of the studies are affiliated with the University of California at Los Angeles. Dr. Chris Derauf, a pediatrician at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, is helping to conduct the remaining study -- under the direction of researchers at Brown University -- that aims to look at the effects of ice on addicted mothers and their babies. Each year, 2 to 3 percent of the nearly 20,000 babies in Hawaii are born to mothers who used ice during their pregnancies, he said. That equates to about 400 babies in the state who have potential developmental defects and behavioral problems related to the drug. There are also study participants in California, Iowa and Oklahoma. DeRauf said though the ice problem in Hawaii is "a major issue" in the state, the epidemic doesn't seem to be growing as much as in years past. Talk about fixing the drug problem reached new levels last month, when Aiona released his plans to hold a drug summit for more than 200 local, state and federal officials. Legislators also announced plans to form a House-Senate joint committee to address the ice problem. Alice Dickow, former director of the Women's Addiction Treatment Center at St. Francis Medical Center, helped conduct a nationwide study on the effectiveness of different treatments on ice addicts. The study started in 1999 at the treatment center and at seven other sites on the mainland, she said. Dickow couldn't comment on the results of the study, which are expected to be published later this year. But she said her preliminary research showed that ice in Hawaii -- unlike in other areas of the country -- is not only a party drug popular among youth, but a stimulant habitually taken by both the state's youth and adults. The findings mean lawmakers and state health officials will have to employ tactics different than those in place elsewhere to fight the drug's spread, she said. Alleviating the ice problem could be even more difficult given the high relapse incidence of the drug, she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Yer welcome for the post Angel. ;o) The funny thing about most American kids is that they laugh at their parents when Mom or Pop start preaching, "Say NO to Drugs". I think the kids instinctively know that their parents are already drug addicts. One in five Americans is on a psychiatric drug of one form or another. Take a look at the average medicine cabinet of the average American adult, and you'll find, Aspririn, Tylenol, 222's, Ibuprofen, Codeine, Prozac, Qualudes, Uppers, Downers, Nytol, Valium, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. The kids laugh because they know their parents are even bigger drug addicts than the kids themselves. One in five!!! I mean, this is an epidemic. If this country ever fails, it will be because of the terrific abuse levelled against our kids by the government, the pharmaceuticals, the Medicos, the Educators (not so much the teachers, but those who are responsible for programs and curriculum), and especially the Psychs. Don't they realize that our kids ARE our future??? I guess not Too sad. Love, Doc PS. Did you know that the level of education in Cuba is three times greater than that here in the USA. If I remember correctly, something like 89% of the country is literate. Hmmmmm, makes you wonder about all the black PR against Castro, now doesn't it??? Oh well, I won't go there as it is political LOL ;o) Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - Anjeweleyes herbal remedies (AT) Groups (DOT) com Tuesday, July 15, 2003 9:04 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Iceing The Society Ohhhhhh MY GOODNESS! Remember me telling yall about the mess with Taylor and the school trying to convince me that giving Taylor Adderall and her education was more important than anything in this world for her right now? And, I told them her brain and health was more important than her being ignorant? Ohhhhh, I told that two bit school nurse that Adderall was similar to crack, crank and the same thing as what we call crystal meth!!!! And she laughed at me in that, "Oh, you poor dummy..." tone. I am printing this out and I HOPE TO GOD they ask me to put her back on it this coming school year. Oh....you just wait. This time I have my ducks in a row and this time I AM GONNA WIN. But, this article does open my eyes to something else and breaks my heart as well. You see, I didn't know what ice was...and I remember my 16 year old daughter getting her "ice" dot (tattoo dot on wrist) when she was in that damn gang...live and learn, live and learn.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Preach away Gaye. LOL ;o) Now that he is safely grown up (so that some government busybody doesn't try to come and take him), I don't mind saying that my son Bryan was never in the American school "system". As far as they were concerned, they never knew he existed. He was NEVER registered. He was either homeschooled or in a private school all his life. This may sound like "proud Papa" talking, but I'd put him up against any product of the American school system any day. His Intelligence, Aptitude, Physical Health and Physical Ability, Awareness, Capacity to Love and Empathize, Fully Causative and Ethical Behaviour, are all far superior to just about any other kid I know of out there. There's only a couple (who were raised the same way) who come even close. This may sound like a weird analogy, but he has the body of a Schwarzenegger (without the toxins), and the mind of an Einstein. I really don't mean to brag here, but he has never "passed" a formal grade in his life, or ever had the pressure of writing an exam. He's never written one!!! He can skin and dress an elk, deer, rabbit or goat (sorry Suzi ;o) by himself, and if you were to drop him in the middle of nowhere with just a pocket knife, he would survive quite well. And yet, you could also drop him in for lunch with the Queen, and her comment at the end would probably be, "My, what a nice intelligent young man". LOL Well enough of me blowing my own horn, but I wouldn't dream of ever sending a kid into the American (or Canadian) school system. The way it is operating now, the kids are set up to FAIL IN LIFE!!! Do you know that every great man I ever read a biography about (and I've read many), either never went to school, dropped out an early age, or were thrown out. We're talking about men like Ben Franklin, and Thomas Edison. And the list goes on and on. The question is not whether or not a child has a diploma, or a GED, or a college degree. Nowadays, these are useless and can be an almost sure indicator of failure. The question is whether or not that child can SURVIVE in life on his own while being a valuable contributing member of society, and having a feeling of pride of accomplishment in so doing. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, see! I can get on this soap box too ROTFL ;o) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - gayekyc1 herbal remedies Tuesday, July 15, 2003 9:25 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Iceing The Society You GO Girl...I've got to ask this...Why don't you home school??? Is itlegal where you live? To my knowledge, some states prohibit homeschooling, and other states make it so tough you give up and send themon, just to bypass the hassle...Then again some states are beginning tohave a broad mind concerning this...and actually try to help out byallowing homeschoolers to participate in extracurricular schoolactivities. (Although this is defeating the purpose in myopinion)...just my opinion...I homeschooled my kids 15 years ago, I'm sure the laws havechanged...for good or bad?!? Worth looking into...I could preach asermon on this topic, so I better quit now!!! LOL, At any rate---stickto your guns. Taylor is YOUR child, not the school's!!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Welllllllllllllllllll, Angel. I don't know if I agree with that viewpoint and that way of thunkin'. ;o) Let's take a lookie-see here and ask a few questions. Is one going to give a child arsenic just so he learns to live in a toxic world??? Is one going to put a child's hand on a hot stove so he learns not to do it by himself??? Is one going to put a baby in a pen of wild wolves with a gun and expect him to defend himself??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Or is one going to put a child in a safe environment, but teach him all about the wild world out there and maybe drive him around to some of these wild places so he can see some of these things with his own eyes while feeling safe under your protection??? Aren't children pretty sociable naturally??? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I think I'll stick with, and promote the homeschool approach ;o) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - Anjeweleyes herbal remedies Wednesday, July 16, 2003 8:08 AM Re: [herbal remedies] Iceing The Society Yes mam, I could home school...but that would be defeating the purpose. I can teach my child anything that a public school can EXCEPT socialization. I can take her to the park, I can get her into the community activities, but it's still not the same. 2 + 2 or (x - 23)+(10 to the tenth power)or when the war of 1812 was fought isn't as important to me as having to deal with peer pressure and what's right and wrong at the same time. My home schooling her is only going to delay that, not save her from it. And, since I don't have millions to leave her, she's gonna have to learn to deal with authority on some level. Hell, I guess even rich folks have somebody they have to answer to...if no one other than uncle sam, unless they know how to keep a crooked accountant on there side at all times. Anyhow...do you see my point? Even if you disagree with it, I think that public education is very important, I just won't dope her up to deal with it. I refuse to teach my child that it is okay to take drugs to be able to deal with anything, no matter how important it is... I know that Doc believes toxic situations are just as bad as toxins in the body, but we just don't have that choice where society is concerned...at least not until my kids can make a life for themselves. Then, hopefully the choices they make will afford them the opportunity to stay away from as much as they can... Now, I'm getting too deep for my own self... Yall have a good day, Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Dear Gaye, You're absolutely right! One of my patients is a 16 year old girl who had a cancerous tumor growing on her neck. The medicos told her parents that she needed to have radiation and chemo therapy. Her parents, both chiropractors living in Illinois, had heard about my programs and decided to call me for a second opinion. I told them how to handle the cancer naturally, and they decided to do my program instead. When the medicos found out about it, they called the parents in and in the presence of a state worker literally told them that if they didn't do the chemo/radiation route, that they would immediately have their child taken away from them to become a ward of the state. These people are well to do, and they checked with their lawyer who simply told them, that that is the way it is. They had two choices. They give up or sell their practice and move out of state to a state which is more lenient, orrrrrr they go the medico route. They chose door number three without telling anyone what they were going to do. They stayed in IL to go the medico route, but asked me to customize a program to handle the cancer and the side effects of the chemo and the radiation. It was a little rough on the girl but we came through with flying colors. There are always choices. If it had have been me, and my son was in that boat, I'd have moved in a heartbeat and damned the torpedoes. My second choice would have been to move the family but not the business and then to have hired a constitutional lawyer with a few more guts and gone after the system. Those mother...'ers would have been sued for tens of millions, and I'd have gone after the entire system in the courts. My family would have been safely away first though LOL ;o) Soooooooooo, there's choices to be made here. I certainly wouldn't live in a state where homeschooling was not allowed, or at least if I did, they wouldn't know I had a school aged child, and he'd be homeschooled anyway as I did with my son Bryan. One of my major hats in life is the protection of my family. Nobody messes with that. Nobody! Whatever it takes, that's what I'd do.

They may takestronger measures. But in the very least you will most certainly belabeled....and your child will be the one to take the brunt of yourdecision!! Anytime we oppose a teacher, nurse, etc. you can be assured that it goeson file, and this does and will affect the child...they will make anexample of your child!!! BEEN THERE!!!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Dear Laura, You're absolutely right. It is the system though there are a few bad apples in the teacher barrel as well. Some schools (and teachers) actually get kickbacks from this system for the number of kids that are put on Ritalin. And at this time the system has been thoroughly infiltrated by the Psychs. At one time, teaching was a very honorable profession and it was well paid too. ;o) Not anymore.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hi Angel, I agree with Doc I'm afraid. I'm homeschooling my 5-year-old son Jamie. Yes, he needs to learn about the harsh world, but criky, he's only 5. Give him a chance to grow a bit in peace and calm and protection of the home so that he gets a good foundation in life on which to build his future. THEN he can deal with the harsh world a lot better later! With regard to socialization: Jamie has never had a problem socializing, and he's an only child even. When he went to a nursery (which he did for 18 months until I pulled him out), his problem was that some other kids weren't social! And even now when amongst other kids that is his main problem! He just loves playing with other kids and is very good with that, but some other kids are not like that. Well, does this mean I have to force him to be with other kids all day so he can learn how cruel they can be? Like hell! At least now he can meet them on his own terms; at a school he wouldn't have that option. We all do what we think is right for our children. I happen to think that homeschooling is right for our children - especially seeing the degradation of the school in recent years. love, Lisa - Dr. Ian Shillington herbal remedies Friday, July 18, 2003 12:20 AM Re: [herbal remedies] Iceing The Society Welllllllllllllllllll, Angel.
