The big Bush handout to pharmaceutical companies: mandatory mental

health screening for entire U.S. population

Mike Adams

Jul 23, 2004

 

 

The Bush administration's handouts to pharmaceutical companies just

keep on coming. First, it was the Medicare discount drug card scam

which turned out to be a system that guaranteed pharmaceutical

industry profits thanks to sky-high prices of prescription drugs (the

discounts were nonexistent). Next, it was the initiation of an anti-

terror drug research program where the government would spend

billions of dollars buying and stockpiling expensive drugs and

vaccines to counter biological weapons. And now, it's the

announcement that President Bush wants to mandate the mental health

screening of the entire U.S. population.

 

 

Why is this a handout to drug companies? Because these so-called

mental health " disorders " are often fictitious diseases (like ADHD)

that can easily be attributed to nearly anyone. And once a person is

labeled " diseased, " they can be put on expensive prescription drugs

to alter their brain chemistry. Make no mistake: this

sweeping " public health " initiative is really just a clever way to

dope up half the population with expensive prescription drugs that

alter brain chemistry. It's a devious plan. And it's an invasion of

personal privacy.

 

It's all made even worse by the sad fact that antidepressant drugs,

which will no doubt be prescribed in large quantities under this

initiative, are now proven to cause a 400% increase in the risk of a

patient committing suicide. They also provoke patients to engage in

violent acts against others. These antidepressants alter brain

chemistry in dangerous ways and should probably be banned, not

unleashed on the entire population.

 

The fact is, people don't need prescription drugs to deal with mental

health problems in the first place. What they need is good nutrition

that includes cod liver oil or other sources of vitamin D (a vitamin

D deficiency is one of the most common causes of mental instability),

a daily dose of natural sunlight on their skin (sunshine cures

depression, and lack of sunshine is strongly correlated with clinical

depression in the medical literature), regular physical exercise

(strength training, jogging, swimming or other forms of physical

exercise powerfully alter brain chemistry in an uplifting way), and

of course the consumption of superior nutritional supplements made

with brain-boosting medicinal herbs, organic whole foods, or

superfoods (see related ebook on superfoods).

 

That's how you solve depression, dementia, schizophrenia and other

mental disorders. And you can eliminate ADHD practically overnight by

taking children off foods loaded with added sugars or refined

carbohydrates and putting them on whole foods, organic foods and

select nutritional supplements. See, mental health problems are not

caused by a lack of prescription drugs: they're caused by a lack of

nutrition, sunlight and healthy physical activity. If you want the

entire country to experience outstanding mental health, you've got to

get the people to make healthy lifestyle choices and keep them far

away from prescription drugs.

 

But of course actually enhancing the mental health of patients was

never the goal of Bush's program. The intent, it seems, is to

generate billions of dollars in profits for Big Pharma while keeping

the population in a zombie-like state of mind where they will support

more military action against Iraq, or, at least, not question

authority when Ashcroft passes the second version of the Patriot Act

that makes it a federal crime to not take your medications.

Don't accuse me of opening old wounds. They aren't old wounds; they're wounds

from which we're still bleeding. The fanatical element in the left, is blindly

feeding us all into the Pharmaceutical shredder. It does no good to make it

clear, that no Dem candidate would be capitulating any where nearly " as much, "

to the pharmacetical corporations, are are the right wing Republicans. The

fanatic is deaf to arguments based on degree of corruption; you're either with

us or against us. All this dirt regarding Bush, that we hear constantly about,

is in some part the outcome of the stubborn and shortsighted among the left,

that would not work to help Kerry (or Gore, before him) win the election,

because he wasn't good enough for them. The political fanatic can't think

clearly about " how " bad the Republican opposition is, because he's obsessed with

the progressive qualifications of moderate Dem candidates for high office, that

logically must fall short, and will not have earned the support of the left. I

could argue that this sliver of support might have been enough to insure a win

for Kerry, but I know I'll hear all the tired Nader arguments about all the ways

Kerry supporters failed their candidate, and so have no right to bicker about

Nader. Obviously, Nader and his cult, cannot understand the meaning of the

" last straw on the Camel's back. " We're already hearing about how Hillary isn't

" liberal enough, " or how some other of the likely Dem presidential candidates

are not giving us a Kucinich-like program or rhetoric. It's hopeless. Bush

clones are assured of victory.

What the hell are you talking about John???

I'm about as radically fanatic as ya get.

I sat in misery and pain last fall, registering voters. I supported a

man I didn't like, but would have been OK for the country (maybe). I

did plenty of homework, so I could counter right wing talking points.

I also worked 16 hours on election day, without a break.

What did you say YOU did???

Well, I won't list what I did during the 2000 and 2004 elections. Suffice it to

say, I worked as hard as my health allowed. But maybe you'll tell me what all

these sacrifices we made, have to do with the points I made? My point is, that

the Dem party is the only vehicle we have, for the forseeable future, that has

any realistic hope of stopping the rightwing Republicans. End of story.

 

If you want to build a movement that will reach political maturity and enough

strength with the electorate, to give it a chance to win a real-world election,

50 years from now, we can talk about such a movement. But for now, I'll

continue to vote for the Dems, as inadequate as they are, just as I avail myself

of whatever potential help I can get from Alternative medicine, if I develop

cancer. The " alternative " methods availble to fight most cancers, in spite of

being generally better than orthodox approaches, still pose enormously difficult

and frustrating problems for the average cancer patient.

 

I don't know if Nader is sincere. I don't think the guy has all his marbles

(I've sat a few feet from him, a few times, as he delivered his predictible,

anti-corporate rants; whch were utterly useless, and ultimately dangerous, in

the practical world of politics). But sincere or no, turning to his 3rd party

and abandoning the Demcrats, is, to me, comparable to turning with desperation

over my cancer, to a psychic healer, because " I'm frustrated " with both orthodox

and " alternative. " approaches. Nader has repeatedly said, that the Dem party is

" a little better " than the Republicans. Well, " a little better, " is good enough

for me; and it's certainly goddamn better than voting in such a way, that I

effectively turn us all over to the psychotic nightmare of an embarrassing

half-wit, and greed and power-driven fool like Bush.

 

Our options, in every area of our lives, are limited.
