Free Articles on Freedom Plaza: Drugs
by Kieron McFadden
This is the first of my articles concerning what is probably the first - and, I hope, the last - truly global social cataclysm to have hit humanity: the drugs epidemic.
It is a contradiction sadly typical of the somewhat deranged civilization with whose hindrances we citizens are obliged to wrestle in our efforts to survive, that legal, prescription drugs are often far more dangerous than their illegal counterparts.
You are rarely told this of course, by a media that fails in its duty of keeping you informed or by a government too busy protecting this or that vested interest to manage affairs on behalf of all the people. And you are certainly not told by the pharmaceutical merchants of chemical chaos who rake in money hand over fist by duping the public into consuming lethal brain- and nerve-damaging poisons..
But just because you are not told something or even told something else entirely does not make that something untrue - it just makes it withheld. And where that withheld truth concerns something inimical to human survival a swathe of carnage rampages unchecked through a nonplussed society and the corpses mount.
This writer, having worked for several years in the drug rehabilitation field, has witnessed at first hand the extent to which psychotropic medications - the tranquilizers and anti depressants the medical profession dishes out like candy - can damage the individual.
It is a very distressing thing to witness. Imagine if you will a misery and derangement more profound and more difficult to escape than the agony of heroin addiction or alcoholism
By observation of the many people I either helped through withdrawal personally or saw undergoing withdrawal with the help of my colleagues, withdrawal from psychiatric drugs is usually much tougher than withdrawal from street drugs such as heroin.
Indeed, heroin withdrawal, for example, was regarded as pretty routine and very manageable, whereas when someone arrived at our Center to withdraw from psychiatric drugs, we knew that they and we were in for a far tougher ride.
It was not that the person could not be withdrawn from psychiatric drugs just as successfully as he or she could be withdrawn from street drugs or alcohol, using the unique and highly successful drug-free approach of the Narconon program, only that getting the person through was MUCH harder work.
In my experience, it is relatively rare for a person to become suicidal on street drugs. His or her behavior may become increasingly criminal as the addiction and the need to slake it takes hold but the person is nevertheless still trying to continue living, albeit with diminishing success.
Deliberate and abrupt self-termination is almost always the resort of someone on mind-altering psychiatric medication. It is true too that a person can be so brain-damaged by psychotropics that they are almost beyond help in terms of making a full recovery, of enjoying a full return of their intellect and personality, even when freed from further need to take the medication.
Withdrawal from psychotropics can be so dangerous that medical supervision is required. Or straight withdrawal cannot be attempted and a very gradual wean-down from the medication under clinical care is the safest option.
What I am driving at here in this short article is the fact that psychiatric medication is DANGEROUS. It is dangerous in terms of the physical damage it does and dangerous mentally in terms of irreparable brain and nerve damage, degeneration of the personality, loss of impulse control, aggression and what psychiatry terms "suicidal ideation".
We would not think much of a medical community that dished out crack or heroin like candy and with complete disregard for the consequential damage they will do to the user.
What are we to think then of medical people who push drugs that are WORSE in almost every respect?
Or of governments who rightly prosecute the pushers and dealers of heroin while giving succor to the pushers of pharmaceutical death and mayhem?
The deliberate coaxing of troubled, vulnerable and ill-informed human beings - and sometimes very young human beings - into using harmful and addictive substances is nothing more than a criminal operation. Yet that very operation is being pursued daily and with vigor by the psychiatric-pharmaceutical axis.
I do not know whether the drive to drug the population of Earth into a stupor springs from mere greed or much darker motives but I do know that it is the duty of every member of the human community to stand shoulder to shoulder against these dedicated foes of human survival.
If you have a problem with drugs that you would like to do something about, then contact Narconon right away.
If you have a problem with psychiatric drugs, don't despair, something CAN be done about it. Email me and I'll point you in the direction
