Re: American Med. system Leading cause of Death and injury..
I've written in response to the following portion of the original message, and, especially, the parts I've boldfaced:
"The risk of developing severe TD from antipsychotic drugs probably lies between 20% and 40%, but mild symptoms appear in up to 70% of patients."—Jack Gorman, Essential Guide to Psychiatric Drugs, 1990.
Estimates at around 1 million people with brain damage from Thorazine. Not just damage to motor functions (TD), but mental dysfunction.
"I believe more than 1 million Americans suffer from TD. It seems conservative to say that in 1991, tens of millions of TD victims are alive around the world…..Psychiatry has unleashed an epidemic of neurological disease on the world. Even if TD were the only permanent disability produced by these drugs, by itself, this would be among the worst medically-induced disasters in history."—Dr Breggin.
Since 1954 in the United States, the administration of one class of twenty psychiatric drugs called neuroleptics— Thorazine, Haldol, Mellaril, Stelazine, Prolixin, and others— has caused between 300,000 and one million cases of motor brain damage. Rappoport, Jon (Ownership of All Life)
Back in the early 1970s, I was prescribed Thorazine (supposedly, a relatively-mild dose of it)--something that actually should have never been done, because I had no need of it. It's a long story how I came about getting put on Thorazine in the first place.
I noticed several frightening changes in me, but I didn't understand at the time that the Thorazine had anything to do with it, because I was still attending the same "school" that the doctor was always right.
With lots of prayer and determination--not to mention loving support from family and friends--I was able to retrieve most of the old "me" from the ashes.
In time, I went off of the Thorazine.
Unfortunately, I got caught up in the Navene net the next time around--and, after at first refusing to take it, ended up believing the doctor again.
Wish I knew then what I know now.
Although I was only on it for a few months--from late October/early November of 1977 until around February of 1978 (easing off of it)--I suffer so many side-effects from it to this very day.
Currently in the process of writing a book about this--a book that doesn't point fingers at any particular doctors by name, because it isn't a revenge book but, simply, a book of warning. I'll be sure to let you know when I have it written.
