DSM-5 REVISION, FLOXIES BEWARE

Floxies and others suffering from ADRs, often develop horrific symptoms, for which there are (conveniently) no tests. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) revising Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5), proposes to psychologize behaviors such as being justifiably show "concern" "and seeking help and understanding." It will be classified under somatic disorders!!!

Medical doctors and scientists are ignorant, deaf and blind, to symptoms/sufferings arising from ADRs... Most of those symptoms are functional occurring at cellular level. Rather than admit their ignorance and fear of repercussions, they opt for slapping a psychiatric label on to floxies and others.

On a personal level, I remember the days of inexplicable frightening symptoms being reported to doctors, met with deafening silence. Yet, when strong enough to research those symptoms, it was found that those receiving chemo, were suffering the same. There is a biochemical process manifesting itself for which there is limited rational explanation for most of those syptoms, that is TOXICITY from meds and vaccines. Rarely, if iatrogenic illnesses are acknowledged.

Keep in mind that Big Pharma will not allow development of tests linking toxicity from their medicines and vaccines.

Protect yourselves, do your research, use it to "justify" your symptoms, avoid being labeled as "mentally ill." it will be used against you for the rest of your life. Keep yourselves INFORMED.

CFS & Autonomic Dysfunction


Here we are, suffering from autonomic dysfunction for years, and telling doctors that whenever we exert ourselves with minimal physical activities, we feel ill and CRASH,(see previous post on Oxidative Stress) - another published article showing biomedical supportive evidence of this. Are politicians death and blind? Instead, they continue to implement psychological bias!!!


Abstract:
 

Jones DEJ, Hollingsworth KG, Taylor R, Blamire AM, Newton JL (From the Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre, and Institute for Ageing and Health, Newcastle University, UK). Abnormalities in pH handling by peripheral muscle and potential regulation by the autonomic nervous system in chronic fatigue syndrome. J Intern Med 2010; 267: 394-401. Objectives. 

To examine muscle acid handling following exercise in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) and the relationship with autonomic dysfunction. Design. 

Observational study. Setting. 

Regional fatigue service. Subjects & interventions. 

Chronic fatigue syndrome (n = 16) and age and sex matched normal controls (n =  8) underwent phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to evaluate pH handling during exercise. Subjects performed plantar flexion at fixed 35% load maximum voluntary contraction. Heart rate variability was performed during 10 min supine rest using digital photophlethysmography as a measure of autonomic function. Results. 

Compared to normal controls, the CFS/ME group had significant suppression of proton efflux both immediately postexercise (CFS: 1.1 ± 0.5 mmol L−1 min−1 vs. normal: 3.6 ± 1.5 mmol L−1 min−1, P < 0.001) and maximally (CFS: 2.7 ± 3.4 mmol L−1 min−1 vs. control: 3.8 ± 1.6 mmol L−1 min−1, P <  0.05). Furthermore, the time taken to reach maximum proton efflux was significantly prolonged in patients (CFS: 25.6 ± 36.1 s vs. normal: 3.8 ± 5.2 s, P < 0.05). In controls the rate of maximum proton efflux showed a strong inverse correlation with nadir muscle pH following exercise (r2 = 0.6; P < 0.01). In CFS patients, in contrast, this significant normal relationship was lost (r2 = 0.003; P  = ns). In normal individuals, the maximum proton efflux following exercise were closely correlated with total heart rate variability (r2 = 0.7; P = 0.007) this relationship was lost in CFS/ME patients (r2 < 0.001; P = ns). Conclusion. 

Patients with CFS/ME have abnormalities in recovery of intramuscular pH following standardised exercise degree of which is related to autonomic dysfunction. This study identifies a novel biological abnormality in patients with CFS/ME which is potentially open to modification.

Electromagnetic Field Exposure (EMF)and Glutamate Receptors
EMF sufferers are a source of ridicule despite thousands of published article showing the damage caused by exposure.

Glutamate receptors

Those of us who do suffer from EMF, are often told it is psychosomatic. Vested interests plays a major role acknowledging both iatrogenic and environmental Dis-ease.

Professor Morrissey used to work for Motorola as a senior scientist. He developed an interest in how heat and radio frequencies affects cancer cells.

Professor Morrissey resigned to pursue research about the effects of cancer and electromagnetic field.

He started working for Nova Southeastern University, Assistant Professor in the Pharmacology Department.

A few days ago, he was murdered in his house. Two men came in, shot him dead, tied up his wife, and set the house on fire. The wife of Professor Morrissey miraculously escaped with her young son.

Scientists seem to have a shorter lifespan than other professionals, most meeting with violent deaths. Specifically, ethical scientists ..

See below the published article concerning EMF, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and breakages in DNA strands. There are hundreds of articles reporting the same findings. Those who are suffering from CNS symptoms would benefit from minimizing exposure to EMF. It affects glutamate receptors!!

Abstract

The exposure of primary rat neocortical astroglial cell cultures to acute electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the microwave range was studied. Differentiated astroglial cell cultures at 14 days in vitro were exposed for 5, 10, or 20min to either 900MHz continuous waves or 900MHz waves modulated in amplitude at 50Hz using a sinusoidal waveform and 100% modulation index. The strength of the electric field (rms value) at the sample position was 10V/m. No change in cellular viability evaluated by MTT test and lactate dehydrogenase release was observed. A significant increase in ROS levels and DNA fragmentation was found only after exposure of the astrocytes to modulated EMF for 20min. No evident effects were detected when shorter time intervals or continuous waves were used. The irradiation conditions allowed the exclusion of any possible thermal effect. Our data demonstrate, for the first time, that even acute exposure to low intensity EMF induces ROS production and DNA fragmentation in astrocytes in primary cultures, which also represent the principal target of modulated EMF. Our findings also suggest the hypothesis that the effects could be due to hyperstimulation of the glutamate receptors, which play a crucial role in acute and chronic brain damage. Furthermore, the results show the importance of the amplitude modulation in the interaction between EMF and neocortical astrocytes. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ireland


A simplified brief few words about Glutamate Receptors
by Beebs Tweet sourced from Neuronal science books
and journals:

Glutamate is found in the body including the brain. It is also responsible for memory and learning. For this purpose, if there is high concentraton of glutamate which is caused by extra cellular activity, either by medication, food, EMF or other toxicity, it will cause over-excitation. This will lead to cellular damage, which turns into an excitotoxin. This will cause agitation or manifest in various ways, if the NMDA receptors are involved, symptoms will differ when in contact with foods, solvents, etc.. I don't know the mechanism by which EMF is involved with glutamate receptors at this point.

PolitiKo/Medico-legal & some good news

Life for independent thinkers, in the UK, is becoming more sinister with governmental interference and infringement on free speech, freedom of expression, persecution of journalists, and other free thinking individuals.

There is now sanctioned bashing of those who are sick, disabled, elderly and other maginalized and vulnerable population.

Dr Myhill, a GP with an excellent record, is being
hounded by the General Medical Council (GMC).
WHY? She uses vitamins and supplement mostly!!
see her site: http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/

She has been threatened several times with having
her license revoked. To date, Dr Myhill has not caused
harm to her patients, but help many improve.

Her patients supporters will campaign and testify on her behalf. Dr Myhill is once more under attacked from the GMC, who have decided to revoke her medical license despite having no grounds. Tried, judged and found guilty. This is not legal. Read more on her website, scroll down the page to categories and click on "My GMC Hearing." She needs our support, having valliantly supported us over the years, putting her own career at risk. http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/

In contrast, a doctor who KILLED 12 patients to keep them quiet, at a nursing home,
continues to practice:

Dr Jane Barton gave patients drugs to 'keep them quiet'

Dr Barton was overdosing her elderly and sick patients with opiates to keep them quiet. 12 patients died as a result. Read the whole article here:

Although conditional, Dr Barton continues to practice, no more than a slap on the wrist from the General Medical Council (GMC). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/8486936.stm

Do you really believe medical and governmental health institutions have your best interest at heart? Do ya???

Well, think again ...

Mmm, still want your flu shot? Following the so called swine flu pandemic, frantic puppet scientist rushing around to publish their findings concerning flu shot vaccines, linked to boosting the risk of H1N1 infection.

Hey presto,
government officials are now squeaky clean,

OINK OINK

H1N1 Spread Linked to Seasonal Flu Shots

The four new studies conducted by Canadian researchers conclude that the traditional seasonal flu vaccine seems to have boosted the risk of infection with pandemic H1N1 swine flu by almost double.

In one study, the researchers revealed to use ongoing sentinel monitoring system in order to assess the frequency of prior vaccination with the seasonal flu vaccine in people suffering from H1N1 swine flu in 2009 compared to people without swine flu.

The study discovered that seasonal flu vaccination was linked with a 68 percent boosted risk of falling in prey to swine flu.

"I do think that they did the best they could with the data they had", said Dr. Mark Loeb, an infectious diseases expert at McMaster University in Hamilton who was not part of the study and who seems to be sceptical about the study’s conclusion. http://topnews.us/content/215882-h1n1-spread-linked-seasonal-flu-shots

More good news from the UK

A Labor candidate was fired from his job for his shocking Tweets.

Stuart McLennan, posted outrageous Tweets about "slaves" "chavs" and "coffin dodgers" the latter is very scary considering many of us are terminally ill and for the elderly!! So, yep, we are dodging coffins, whilst doctors are speeding the process with murderous injections of morphine or simply withdrawing IV drips, read here: http://blog.taragana.com/n/british-doctors-complain-of-tick-box-approach-to-care-of-terminally-ill-patients-158753/ A Dutch doctor killed a patient because he needed her bed: http://www.chninternational.com/licenced_to_kill_dutch_euthanasia.htm Note that in Holland doctors are not penalized for killing newborn deformed babies. The approval of politicians leading to those who are unproductive to feel they have a duty to die ... in view of politicians allowing financial collapse, causing recession, there is a tendency, certainly in the UK, to make those who are ill, feel pressurized to work regardless of their condition, unless paralyzed from head to toe. Those who are bedridden because of chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS are denied medical care, investigations (unless there is other pathology), welfare & disability. There is a high suicide rate amongst ME/CFS sufferers in the UK, which essentially, is forced euthanesia.

Read more here about his offensive, foul-mouthed verbal garbage: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23823138-labour-candidate-sacked-for-tweets-on-chavs-and-coffin-dodgers.do

Now, now, don't fall prey to long term chronic illness .. not safe to be a "coffin dodger" in Holland and the UK!!

The irony is that it is not the first time a UK politician mouths off its population - it will be of no surprise if McLennan resurfaces with a promotion after the general election in May 2010!! Watch this space.

Drug Poisoning, Failing Health & some good news

There seems to be a pattern in regards to deaths associated with drug toxicity published articles. Replicated studies in various countries have shown in-hospital deaths to be 6 out 10 caused by medication. This paper discusses drug poisoning in Sweden, (in/out of hospitals not specified) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19397805

Dr Jeffrey H Cohen, will be publishing a paper in May this year. Dr Cohen based at West Viriginia School of Medicine, bases his study over a period of ten years from 1996-2006. The study mentions an increase of 400% poisoning from methadone, and benzos by 39% It would be difficult to establish in those cases if intentional.

My own view here is that we will see an increase of published research warning about "drug toxicities," invasive procedures, and futility of expensive diagnostic tools, and dentisty just as health care costs rise. Some countries with a model of socialized health care system, are now either minimizing patients'symptoms, or openly discouraging patients from having expensive investigative procedures. There is also a tendency towards pushing drugs that are on trial rather than prescribing older safer drugs. http://tinyurl.com/yfj7bw2

More striking news which ties up with the increase of the US population on meds and failing health at a younger age.

This article illustrates the above. Professor Linda Martin, published a study showing significant rise of disabilities and mobility problems amongst a population between the ages of 50-64 years old. http://tinyurl.com/y8dqure Interesting, could it be a associated with the rise in use of pharmaceuticals?

This ties in with expanding palliative care across the USA. There is an increase of 125.8% between the years of 2000-2008. http://tinyurl.com/y9mz7p5

The Dark side of Scans - What your doctors don't tell you!!


CT Scans & other intrusive diagnostic tool, causes cancer & ineffective detection

High tech diagnostic tools are not more useful than taking a patient's medical history, examination, note of present symptoms. For instance, studies show that women who regularly examine their breasts, detect unusual lumps earlier. Some report show an increase of cancer risks by 50% following routine mammograms over a period of six years. There is no doubt that mammograms are to be avoided. Breast tissue is very sensitive to radiation, considering that radiation does cause cell mutation, is it worth the risk? see this thought provoking article: http://tinyurl.com/y9eko3b

Moving on, the article below discusses FDA corruption, suppression of information, self interest, and mentions the dangers of colonscopy.

In a nutshell, an efficient MD should be a good diagnostician without resorting to harmful high tech diagnostics tools unless - there is justifiable cause.

Experts Debate Extent of FDA Reform in Wake of Whistleblower Testimony

Robert Lowes

April 5, 2010 — Did a former consulting scientist at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lose his position — as he contends — because he blew the whistle about the risk for radiation exposure from computed tomography (CT) scanners used in colon cancer screenings?

Or is the FDA right when it claims that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found no criminal wrongdoing after investigating the charges of Julian Nicholas, MD, who testified March 30 at an agency hearing on preventing unnecessary radiation exposure from medical imaging?

Although all the facts surrounding the case of Dr. Nicholas have yet to be sorted out, some FDA watchers say one thing is clear — the agency is still recovering from the antiregulatory, probusiness climate of the George W. Bush administration in which public health took a back seat.

"The new leadership of the FDA inherited a mess," said Diana Zuckerman, PhD, president of the nonpartisan National Research Center for Women and Families, which specializes in health issues. "You have a change of leadership at the top, but the vast majority of the people in the FDA at the office or center level are exactly the same [as before]."

"People got promoted during the 8 years of the Bush administration for reasons that had to do with ideology. They may be very capable and smart, but they also have a proindustry point of view, not a public-health point of view."

Like Dr. Zuckerman, Steven Nissen, MD, chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio, and a long-time FDA critic, thinks that the Nicholas case is a sign of a hangover from the Bush administration.

...............Dr. Nicholas said that his superiors in the agency's Center for Devices and Radiological Health pressured him to change his scientific opinion when he objected to letting a manufacturer — reportedly General Electric — market a CT scanner for "virtual colonoscopies." Nicholas said he warned FDA managers last year that such scans could significantly increase a patient's risk for cancer. His whistleblowing, he said, led the FDA not to renew his contract when it expired last October. http://tinyurl.com/yeyoheg

Marketing of Madness

New Additons to DSM-V are sinister. The group of psychiatrists with strong ties with the psychopharmacology industry continues to "invent" more psychiatric disorders and subtypes, such as "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" (ODD) that's for anyone with a clear, analytical mind, and their own opinion, those who are defiant of authority!!!

"Antisocial Personality Disorder" that is for someone who is difficult, spiteful, mean, manipulative or a prick, yep, that too.

When your kid throws a tantrum, he is not just throwing a tantrum, he is suffering from "Temper Dysregulation Disorder with Dysphoria." There is now a "Pediatric Bipolar Disorder."

If you think about sex too often, you don't have a high healthy libido related to high testosterone, you are suffering from "Hypersexual Disorder."

Essentially, characteristics of personalities are now being turned into psychiatric disorders.

Considering side effects - Lucrative and assured income for the pharmaceutical companies.

The Wall Street Journal reports $10 billion in profits in 2009, for pharmaceutical companies selling psychotropics in the US. At this rate, it will double by end of fiscal year 2010.

Incidentally, the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) lifted the ban on pilots taking psychotropics. Some pilots will be granted waivers whist taking Prozac, Lexapro, Celexa, Zoloft and generics. http://tinyurl.com/ybn6rnc

Hum, Welcome Aboard ....

Incidentally, those who suffer from serious addictions to psychotropics, are no longer suffering from addiction. This has now been altered to a "chemical dependency." Sounds nicer. This is clever marketing ploy, making the lure of psychotropics even more attractive.

Hide your grief, or you will be labelled as being "depressive", don't be shy now, you will be labelled with "Social Anxiety Disorder", apprehension is now "Anxiety" etc..

Not labeled yet, worry not, there is a new label which might suit you, it is called the "Psychosis Risk Syndrome", for those who are strong indviduals, slightly eccentric, strong opinions. This will apply regardless of the fact, that you are NOT psychotic, delusional, or hearing voices. This new label is an extension to "Schizophrenia" mainly to identify those who are at risks of becoming "schizophrenic."

Are we so disconnected that the only way to "connect" and "belong" is by discussing which "mental illness" we suffer from (as if belonging to a special club) and which are the most effective psychotropics, how to dodge inter dosage withdrawal symptoms? It never fails to irritate me when I hear someone who is basically capricious, manipulative, high/low intensities of emotions, lacking in self control and social skills, proudly announce they suffer from "bi-polar" disorder!!! They then perpetuate this behavior by acting out what is conceived as being "bi-polar."

Wake up, Stop being fooled about brain chemical imbalances, there is NO scientific evidence to support this.

Read up and research about psychiatric labels and anti-depressants.

What you will find instead - a strong lobby of psychiatrists, conflict of interest, skewed research, scandals involving drugging of children, disgraced and corrupt psychiatrists linked with politics, coercion, compliance, submission, and greed.

We live in a dysfunctional society, there is no doubt that in order to survive, we all need to be slightly dysfunctional - nothing more ......
