Are Criminal or Board Disciplined Psychiatrists Determining“Safety and Efficacy” of Psychiatric Drugs? Another breaking New York Times story published June 3rd,“AfterSanctions, Doctors Get Drug Company Pay,” revealed thatpsychiatrists disciplined for criminal fraud convictions and“reckless, if not willful disregard” for thewelfare ofpatients are remaining on the payroll of pharmaceutical companies andcontinuing to conduct drug tests on patients and serve as paidspeakers. With 10 million children prescribed dangerous, mind-alteringdrugs, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a mental healthwatchdog group, is asking how much information about drug safety andefficacy are based on studies conducted by psychiatrists with a provenrecord of fraudulent and unethical practices. In 1997, former president of the Minnesota Psychiatric Society, FarukAbuzzahab, had his license temporarily suspended after five patientsdied in his care or shortly thereafter. Further, the FDA concluded thatthis psychiatrist had violated the protocols of every FDA-reviewedstudy he led and had inaccurately reported data to drug manufacturers.Despite this, Abuzzahab is still being entrusted and paid by drugcompanies to conduct research and drug tests—since therestrictions on his license were lifted in 2000, Abuzzahab has beeninvolved in 11 publications or research presentations. Abuzzahabadmitted assisting with the study of popular psychiatric drugs,including Paxil, Prozac, Risperdal, Seroquel, Zoloft and Zyprexa; drugswhich have all recently been revealed to have dangerous even deadlyside effects. CCHR says that conflicts of interest and corruptresearchers may be the reasons why it has taken so long for these sideeffects to be made public. Even leading psychiatrists such as Steven Sharfstein, former presidentof the American Psychiatric Association (APA), have pointed out thefinancial corruption in their field by publicly admitting thatpsychiatry is improperly tied to the pharmaceutical industry.Sharfstein stated in 2006, “We have allowed ourselves to becorrupted in this marketplace with lucrative consulting to industry,speaker panels, boards of directors and visits from industryrepresentatives bearing gifts.” Daniel J. Carlat, anassistantclinical professor of psychiatry at Tufts University, recently said,“Our [psychiatric] field as a whole is progressively beingpurchased lock, stock, and barrel by the drug companies: this includesthe diagnoses, the treatment guidelines, and the nationalmeetings.” CCHR says the vested interests of the APA explainswhythe organization continues to vehemently oppose stronger psychiatricdrug warning labels -- despite the fact that such information couldsave children and consumers lives. Despite heavy protest by the profitable psycho-pharmaceutical industry,public pressure has resulted in governmental warnings about the seriousside effects of psychiatric drugs—including suicide, mania,psychosis, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and sudden death. Thesedangerous drugs are prescribed to the general population, includingsmall children, based on subjective diagnoses—without anyphysical tests, such as blood tests, brain scans or X-rays, which canconfirm the existence of any “mental disorder.”Read CCHR’spublication, The Report on the Escalating International Warnings onPsychiatric Drugs, to find out more about the dangers of psychiatricdrugs. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was established in 1969 by theChurch of Scientology and Dr. Thomas Szasz, Professor of PsychiatryEmeritus at the State University of New York Health Science Center inSyracuse, New York, to investigate and expose psychiatric violations ofhuman rights. |

Cirrhosis of the Liver From a “Harmless" Soft Drink? By Jon Herring You can file this article under “another reason to avoid processedfoods." In ETR #1682, I explained that when the chemical preservative sodiumbenzoate mixes with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), benzene forms as abyproduct. Benzene is an aggressive carcinogen, even in minute amounts.That’s why I strongly recommend avoiding fruit-flavored soft drinks,which are often made with both sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid. But now there is news that sodium benzoate itself could be responsiblefor DNA damage. Peter Piper, an English professor of molecular biologyand biotechnology at Sheffield University, has been studying thiscommon preservative for the past seven years. When he tested the impactof the substance on living yeast cells, he was alarmed to find that thebenzoate was damaging the “power station" of all cells, themitochondria. Speaking to The Independent, Piper said, “These chemicals have theability to cause severe damage to DNA in the mitochondria to the pointthat they totally inactivate it: They knock it out altogether." Damage the energy production capacity of a cell, and the cell willbegin to malfunction in a serious way. Piper suggests that a number ofconditions, including Parkinson’s, cirrhosis of the liver, andaccelerated aging, can be linked to this type of damage. The bottom line is this. We really don’t know what many of the"harmless" artificial ingredients and chemical preservatives in ourfood will do to us. In most cases, the long-term effects are unknown.So, as always, stick to whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible.And think twice - make that three times - about buying soft drinks thatcontain sodium benzoate.
