Antidepressants linked to REM sleep disorder that causes dreamers to act out

How do you explain normal children turning into mass murderers, or moms drowning and suffocating their little babies? How can a good, 15-year-old Christian boy murder his grandparents and set their house on fire? How is it possible that a boy who is acting completely normal one minute can hang himself by his belt from the ceiling the next? We've long held that antidepressants are responsible for the rise in school shootings, suicides and baby killings, and this eye-opening article brings the reason to light: REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, or RBD, where a person acts out nightmares in real life while still asleep. 86% of those with RBD are on SSRI antidepressants. See comments on RBD by Dr. Ann Blake Tracy (www.drugawareness.org).

FDA forces ADHD drug manufacturers to give patients literature describing side effects

On February 21, 2007, the FDA "directed the manufacturers of all drug products approved for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to develop Patient Medication Guides to alert patients to possible cardiovascular risks and risks of adverse psychiatric symptoms associated with the medicines, and to advise them of precautions that can be taken." Last year, the FDA directed ADHD drug companies to update their product labeling with these risks, which include high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke, sudden death, hearing voices, becoming suspicious for no reason, and becoming manic. See http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01568.html.

 

Read investigative journalist Evelyn Pringle's commentary on this FDA directive here: http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_evelyn_p_070305_adhd_drug_warnings_c.htm

 

Regardless of drug warnings, the ADHD label itself is an invention of the psychiatric industry with no medical justification and therefore no reason to take a drug for it. Dr. Fred Baughman, board-certified child and adult neurologist for the past 35 years and a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology, has just released a book The ADHD Fraud, available at http://www.adhdfraud.org/. Baughman states:

"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign."

 

Alternative solutions to drug withdrawal, depression, schizophrenia, autism, and asperger's

Looking for a practitioner to help you or someone you know successfully withdraw from psychiatric medications? Visit www.alternativementalhealth.com for a directory of practitioners in your area and links to many helpful resources and groups. This article from alternativementalhealth.com describes how antioxidants like Vitamins C and E can help with depression and schizophrenia: http://www.psychologydebunked.com/email0703_antioxidants.htm

 

It is generally accepted worldwide that autism, asperger's and other neurodevelopmental problems are caused by mercury-laced childhood vaccines, despite drug manufacturers' denials (see http://www.psychologydebunked.com/email0604_Q&A.htm and http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/99/28/). Visit Generation Rescue at http://www.generationrescue.org/ for one medical solution for treating these vaccine-induced disorders--mercury detoxification from the body.

 

Speaking of vaccines, Dr. Mercola's site has recently exposed the Hepatitis B vaccine as useless and harmful. Useless because the disease is easily preventable and immunity only lasts 7 years--long before the disease would ever be contracted--and harmful due to the mercury preservative that is still in some types. He pins the motive of the Hep B vaccination on drug company greed, and we agree. Read the article and watch the video here:

This shocking documentary by doctors and researchers of the ineffectiveness of vaccines in general and their often harmful effects has made us seriously question vaccination for our children. This must-see 90-minute video "Vaccination - The Hidden Truth" is available on YouTube for free here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8610554679207090010

No such thing as naughty anymore?

This BBC article states, "More and more badly behaved children are being diagnosed with conditions like ADHD... Critics argue bad behaviour in children is being over-medicalised, and even that the labels are being used to excuse unruly behaviour."
