MEDICAL AND OTHER EXPERTS SPEAK OUT

http://www.cchr.org/topics/doctors/experts/index.htm

An ever-increasing number of medical and other experts are speaking out against

the unscientific nature of psychiatric diagnoses and the resulting drug

treatments used on children. They observe the damage done and feel it is their

duty to warn parents. These experts have their own websites and provide further

vital information regarding this subject. Click on their links below to access

Austin from Florida was hailed as " the poster child " for Attention

Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He had been kicked out of 11

preschools in three years for doing everything from shouting

obscenities and hitting other children to poking a teacher in the

eye with a pencil. He was prescribed stimulants. But after a

blockage was removed from his colon, he suddenly stopped terrorizing

his teachers and classmates. Austin, who is now 9, was able to sit

quietly and was a joy to be around. " The bad behaviors disappear as

soon as the impaction is removed, " said Dr. Paul Hyman, chief of

pediatric gastroenterology at the University of Kansas Medical

Center in Kansas City.

 

A psychologist who diagnosed a young boy with Aspergers Syndrome

recommended behavioral programs and a psychotropic drug. However,

tests by audiologists confirmed a central auditory processing

problem. The boy was acting up in class because he couldn't hear

properly.

 

Each year, hundreds of such examples are reported to Citizens

Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) chapters around the world. While

CCHR does not itself give medical advice, standard, non-psychiatric

medical care is strongly advocated. It has long been the policy of

CCHR that anyone with a mental condition should first see a

competent, non-psychiatric physician to ensure that an undiagnosed,

untreated physical condition is not causing " psychiatric " symptoms.

This can save a person from being needlessly subjected to abusive

and damaging psychiatric treatments.

 

We have every respect for medicine practiced as medicine, in a

spirit of honest, ethical endeavor, and with due consideration to

primacy of the patient's needs and health. However, we have every

argument with the seduction and contamination of medicine by

psychiatrists whose contribution threatens to pervert not only the

position, honor, humanity and value of medicine, but to wreck the

lives of millions of patients who simply came to medicine for help.
