Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Dear All, Below is a very important email for you to read and reply to. Please below and leave your comment. This is vital!!! If you've ever met someone or known someone who underwent this barbaric "therapy" you know how destructive and dangerous it is. Pass this on to all you know and ask them to do the same! In Knowledge, Health & Freedom, Doc cchrnv January 4, 2010 11:16:36 AM PST cchrnv Quick CALL-TO-ACTION Dear Friends, The APA (American Psychiatric Association) is trying to get the FDA (Food and Drug Administration ) to re-classify the ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) machine from a Class III device to a Class II device – a category of less dangerousness wherein the FDA would never have to test shock machines. Unlike other medical devices, the ECT machine has never been FDA tested for safety. It is considered a Class III medical device based upon potential danger. The FDA is now being forced to test the machine. The testing is for pre-market approval which has never been done. The APA wants to avoid the testing and is pressuring the APA to not test. Please   http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#submitComment?R=0900006480a20202 and email the FDA now until January 8, 2010 (now would be best) and tell them in your own words: "I oppose the reclassification of the ECT device to Class II in the absence of adequate scientific evidence of its safety, and request that the FDA call for pre-market Approval Applications for the device. Shock machines have never been FDA tested for safety and the concept of avoiding this by making it a Class 2 device is a complete scam. They are dangerous and untested. Keep them Class III, test the devices and let the public know." (For 'category of person', choose 'individual consumer' or the one that best applies. For 'organization', you can choose 'self') Thanks and please pass this onto your friends!!!  Don Calley CCHR of NV  CCHR of Nevada is a non profit organization entirely supported by people like you.
