Dear Friend, Welcome to the July 2007 issue of the Psychology Debunked newsletter! Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. There are few things more precious and beautiful in life than little children--God's gifts to the world. They embody humility, innocence and trust. The psych-pharma-government unholy trinity now wants to screen, label and drug our young children--even our infants. Their latest target is little children who they claim have bipolar disorder and need their treatments. Common sense tells us that troubled children who are cranky, aggressive and disobedient are reacting to their environment and crying out for time, love, attention and discipline. The parents may need to adjust their diet or lifestyle, or they could have a true medical problem. But how does the psych-pharma-government complex explain it? Bipolar disorder requiring drugs, even for children in diapers. Giving an innocent child a toxic, mind-altering drug that will permanently damage their life and health for years to come is child abuse. Jesus gives us a glimpse of how heaven views children... | Mat 18:1 | At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? | | Mat 18:2 | And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, | | Mat 18:3 | And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. | | Mat 18:4 | Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. | | Mat 18:5 | And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. | | Mat 18:6 | But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea. | | Mat 18:7 | Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! | | Mat 18:8 | Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. | | Mat 18:9 | And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. | | Mat 18:10 | Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. |
This month, don't miss our radio interview with Annie Armen, a comprehensive Q&A on bipolar, and a letter from a reader who buried her brother before realizing the antidepressant drug Lexapro was to blame. For the children who have no voice, Lisa and Ryan Bazler
Congress makes FDA a quasi-drug company On July 11, 2007, the House passed HR 2900--an FDA "Safety" bill that actually puts more money, power and influence into the hands of the drug-company-controlled agency, speeding drug approval and reducing safety testing. The bill furthers the cozy relationship between industry and the FDA called to monitor it, and even gives the FDA control over drug design, drug patents, drug licenses, and the creation of new marketing organizations! Get the facts and the future of FDA and pharma here: FDA tyranny to become law: HR.2900 analysis by Richards and Adams China executes top FDA official for taking drug company bribes "What's interesting about China's execution of its top FDA official (Zheng Xiaoyu) for accepting bribes from drug companies is not that China executed a corrupt official, it's that such harsh actions demonstrate, in contrast, the complete lack of action against corrupt FDA officials in the United States. "...bribery is routine in the United States drug approval process. In fact, the official FDA policy right now is that FDA decision panel experts -- the people who decide which drugs to approve or reject -- can currently accept up to $50,000 in bribes from drug companies and still serve on such decision panels." more » Drug co gifts: $45k/year per psychiatrist in Vermont That's right - VT state psychiatrists pocket $45k per year on average from the drug companies. That's more than many people earn for just doing their job. Perhaps this explains why a recent study found 46% of VT inmates are on psych drugs.
"...a similar pattern was evident in a Minnesota database that was the subject of a series of articles in The New York Times this year. As in Vermont, psychiatrists earned on aggregate the most in Minnesota, with payments ranging from $51 to $689,000. The Times found that psychiatrists who took the most money from makers of antipsychotic drugs tended to prescribe the drugs to children the most often." more » Psychiatrist Biederman leads charge for bipolar in infants Psych leader Dr. Joseph Biederman of Mass. General Hospital, who gets kickbacks from no less than 15 drug companies, has told doctors that infants and toddlers need dangerous antipsychotics for their bipolar disorder. And they're listening. "From his perch as one of the world's most influential child psychiatrists, Biederman has spread far and wide his conviction that the emotional roller coaster of bipolar disorder can start "from the moment the child opened his eyes" at birth. Psychiatrists used to regard bipolar disorder as a disease that begins in young adulthood, but now some diagnose it in children scarcely out of diapers, treating them with powerful antipsychotic medications based on Biederman's work."
We could ask 4-year-old Rebecca Riley how effective she thought a toxic psych drug cocktail was in treating her so-called "bipolar disorder," but thanks to Biederman's influence on Riley's psychiatrist, this little girl is now dead. more » NY toddlers now screened for mental disorders
New York residents, prepare yourself for label and drug pushing from the mental health brigade in your state. At one point they thought kids under 5 were too young to diagnose and treat. But politics prevailed:
"...officials at the state Office of Mental Health changed their minds about kids under 5. The office lobbied successfully for a bill providing $62 million for mental-health screening of pre-school youngsters throughout the state." more » Parents of kids on Paxil - get your drug co. refund! A ray of hope in the dark world of pharma... "In an unusual move, the Public Citizen advocacy group has posted a video on YouTube to alert parents to a $48 million settlement of a lawsuit concerning Glaxo's Paxil antidepressant and side effects. "Even without receipts, parents can recover up to $100, but any money that isn't claimed prior to the August 31, 2007, deadline will revert back to Glaxo." more » Annie Armen Live!

| Notable Quotes | | "A careful look at the history of the FDA shows it is little more than a bully that protects vested interests at the expense of human health. It is a pitiful agency. It is little wonder than the majority of Americans don't trust the FDA."
Byron J. Richards - Author of Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America "Numerous psychiatrists say [4-year-old] Riley's overdose suggests that bipolar disorder is becoming a psychiatric fad, leaving thousands of children on risky medications based on symptoms such as chronic irritability and aggressiveness that could have other causes."
Scott Allen, Staff Writer, Boston Globe
