Medicine at gunpoint: Seattle mother arrested for " kidnapping " her own

baby to seek alternative treatments

 

Posted Friday, June 30, 2006 by Mike Adams, Key concepts: medical

terrorism, child protective services and terror.

 

 

Public trust in conventional medicine has plummeted to such an

all-time low that the industry is now resorting to the threat of

violence in order to market its services. Gunpoint medicine is alive

and well in Seattle, Washington, where county law enforcement

officers, prompted by Child Protective Services (CPS), arrested and

jailed 34-year-old Tina Marie Carlsen for her " crime " of rescuing her

infant from overzealous hospital staff who demanded they perform

kidney surgery on the infant.

 

Terrorized by the incident, charged with second-degree kidnapping of

her own child, and threatened with bail of $500,000, Tina Carlsen was

jailed for several days, during which she was unable to provide

lifesaving mother's milk to her baby (which is crucial for a child's

brain and immune system). She has still not been allowed physical

contact with her infant son.

 

Carlsen's child was taken from her by Child Protective Services after

she refused to drug her infant with doctor-prescribed medications in

preparation for surgery to implant kidney dialysis devices. She was

also reportedly threatened by a nephrologist (a kidney specialist),

who, according to relatives, demanded, " You do what I tell you to do,

or I will have the police at the door, taking that baby from you. "

 

And that's exactly what happened: The doctor called Child Protective

Services, and CPS won a court battle to take custody of the child

based entirely on Carlsen's refusal to submit the child to

conventional surgery. When Carlsen rescued her own child from the

Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, a statewide Amber

Alert was issued, which mobilized law enforcement to arrest the

mother. Initially, the alert claimed the child was in " imminent

danger, " but this was later contradicted by hospital staff members who

issued a statement admitting the child was not in imminent danger.

 

" This mother's rights have been annihilated, " said Kelly Meinig, the

president of Citizens for Safe Birth, a non-profit consumer health

organization. " What's so scary is this could happen to any of us. All

this family wanted was the ability to make an informed decision. "

 

Gunpoint medicine

This incident is the latest example of state-sponsored medical

terrorism where parents who do not submit to narrowly-defined

" treatments " promoted by conventional medicine are branded as

criminals, arrested at gunpoint, jailed and forcibly separated from

their children by Child Protective Services. A previous case of

medical terrorism involved a Texas teenager who was kidnapped by

authorities and forced to undergo toxic chemotherapy treatments that

her parents desperately insisted on avoiding.

Conventional medicine, characterized by toxic pharmaceuticals, radical

surgical procedures, rampant bribery, corruption and relentless

disease mongering and " sick care " profiteering, is increasingly being

enforced by gunpoint in the United States. Parents who wish to protect

their children from the dangers of chemotherapy, surgery or dangerous

prescription drugs may find themselves accused of kidnapping their own

children simply by rescuing them from the hands of surgeons and

oncologists who stand to profit from every procedure performed.

 

The threat of violence is not foreign to the promoters of conventional

medicine, as the FDA has been the architect of several armed raids

against doctors, nutritional supplement companies and even a church.

Such raids include the " B vitamin " raid on the clinic of Dr. Jonathan

Wright, the " CoQ10 " raid on Highland Laboratories, the El Cajon pet

food store raid (the owner committed the " crime " of saying that

vitamins were good for pets) and multiple, armed " terror-style " raids

against the Life Extension Foundation, among many others. The FDA has

confiscated " dangerous " products like flaxseed oil, herbal tea,

vitamin C and CoQ10, all in its quest to save the public from the

terrible dangers of nutritional medicine.

 

Disrupts profits, go to jail

Far from being an industry that seeks to help patients, modern-day

medicine is a profit-seeking industry that depends on sustained

sickness to generate profits for drug companies, hospitals and

diagnostic equipment manufacturers. Police officers, Sheriffs and even

U.S. Marshals are routinely recruited by conventional medicine

" enforcers " to terrorize selected targets in order to send a message

to the rest of the population that they must submit to the treatments

of conventional medicine, even when such treatments are provably

harmful to patients or based on fraudulent science and deceptive

marketing claims. Related book:

The tactics of such campaigns mirror those of terrorist cells, which

rely on violence or the threat of violence to achieve a political goal.

 

Similarly, the Bush Administration, through its so-called " New Freedom

Initiative on Mental Health " hopes to impose mandatory mental health

screening on all U.S. children -- a thinly-veiled attempt to boost Big

Pharma profits even further by drugging millions of children with

expensive psychotropic drugs, including amphetamines like Ritalin and

antidepressant drugs known to promote suicidal behavior.

 

Consumer backlash gains strength

The use of these tactics helps explain why critics of conventional

medicine describe these times as, " The Dark Ages of medicine. " FDA

actions are increasingly seen as oppressive and even tyrannical by an

increasing number of patients and doctors, and the public's trust of

pharmaceutical companies, who have been caught inventing fictitious

diseases and misleading federal regulators about drug safety trials,

is at an all-time low.

 

A consumer backlash against the Police State tactics of conventional

medicine is gaining momentum as people and lawmakers alike realize

that no American is truly free if they are not free to choose a system

of medicine that they believe offers them the most effective solutions

for health challenges. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tx) has introduced the Health

Freedom Protection Act (H.R. 4282), a bill that would help reign in

the censorship of the FDA and finally allow nutritional supplement

manufacturers to tell the truth about the scientifically-validated

health benefits of their products. See FDA tyranny and the censorship

of cherry health facts to learn more.

 

Other health freedom efforts now underway include campaigns to ban

direct-to-consumer drug advertising and end the monopoly on drug

prices. Organizations such as the Life Extension Foundation and

Commercial Alert are supporting grassroots efforts to end the FDA's

reign of terror, while many of the FDA's own drug safety scientists

like Dr. David Graham are working from inside the agency to affect

meaningful reform.

While the arrest and prosecution of Tina Carlsen is a clear example of

an out-of-control system of medicine that continues to be enforced at

gunpoint, Carlsen may one day be seen as the Rosa Parks of health

freedom. She was the mother who dared to rescue her baby from the

scalpels of overzealous surgeons, and her incarceration reveals the

blatant truth about the motives of hospitals, doctors and the entire

system of modern medicine: Comply with our medicine, or we will punish

you.

 

As is being pointed out by many critics of Carlsen's treatment, the

idea of whether her baby's condition demanded urgent medical care is

not relevant. It is the right and responsibility of every parent to

choose what kind of treatment their child should receive, even if

certain health experts disagree with such a decision. The State is not

the parent, and any State that would use the threat of violence to

enforce the profiteering medical treatments of powerful corporations

is an unjust State.
