Dotson Rader [i Can Create Who I am, Parade, 4/9/06, p 6] states the

Tom Cruise " ranted against medically-prescribed drugs and psychiatry

on NBC's Today " show. To 'rant' means " to rave, or speak in loud,

violent or extravagant language. "

 

The word " rant " or similar descriptors were used throughout the media

to describe the Cruise assertion to Mr. Lauer (Today, 6/24/05), that

there is no such thing as a " chemical imbalance, " by which psychiatry

means " disease " which equals " objective abnormality, " terms psychiatry

appends to everyone with a mental, emotional or psychological

problem- " chemical imbalances " in need of " chemical

balancers " -pills-sole product of the psychiatry-pharmaceutical

industry. Nor did Cruise's detractors take notice of the follow-up

appearance on Today, 6/27/05 of psychiatry professor, Joseph

Glenmullen, who had exactly the same thing to say-that there is no

such thing as a " chemical imbalance " of the brain, that the millions

of children (and adults too) in the US and the world who are told they

are thus-diseased are, in fact, entirely normal--normal that is until

their " treatment " --actually poisoning, commences. Joining the

demonizing of Mr. Cruise, and all who know and articulate word of the

pseudoscience and fraud of pharma-appended psychiatry you become

purveyors of the " chemical imbalance " fraud, complicit with those who

would love nothing better than to drug you, your children and elders

for profit.

 

At the March 23, 2006, hearing on ADHD and ADHD drugs of the

Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee Testimony of the FDA I

testified: " There is nothing more despicable than a physician who

knowingly tells normal patients that they are " sick, " " ill, " or

" diseased, " for profit. Yet this has become standard practice

throughout medicine, and at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). "
