Using Pharma money to push psychiatric drugs and coercion

10th of Apr, 2014 by StopNAMI

NAMI the National Alliance on Mental illness: A pharma front lobbying for positions counter to the welfare of the mentally ill.

In 2004, NAMI opposed the placement of "black box" warnings on antidepressants determined to cause suicide in under-18 year olds, and in 2006 opposed black box warnings on ADHD drugs causing heart attack, stroke and sudden death in children in 2006. Despite overwhelming evidence of serious adverse cardiac events and sudden deaths caused by ADHD drugs, in 2006 NAMI took the position that the “black box” warning on ADHD drugs was “premature.”

Gee thanks, NAMI shows you care !

Lilly alone donated millions to NAMI. For its part, NAMI promotes the increased use of psychotropic drugs, and even lobbies for laws allowing people accused of mental ilness to be assaulted , coerced to force them to take antipsychotic drugs. The drugs most often prescribed for involuntary patients -- Janssen's Risperdal (risperidone) and Lilly's Zyprexa (olanzapine)-- cause debilitating, indeed, lethal effects. NAMI's failure to inform its constituents about the danger these drugs pose for patients, and its continued aggressive promotion of these drugs despite the evidence, may be viewed as confirmation that NAMI is an extension of Lilly's marketing department.

Psychiatric drugs are not harmless. They can cause permanent brain damage or death. Studies show permanent brain damage resulting from these drugs in a very high percentage of cases. In a 1998 study, the frontal lobes of people on psychiatric drugs actually SHRANK. People on psychiatric drugs get neurologic damage and have movement disorders created by the drugs. You can see these people, twitching and rolling their tongues and smacking their lips, on any bus in California. These are not symptoms of mental illness. These people have been damaged by psychiatric drugs. No one should be forced to take these drugs against their will.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS: NAMI fraud

Parents are being mislead by NAMI and a multi billion-dollar a year child drugging industry that a diagnoses of "mental disorder" (ADHD, Bi-Polar, Social Anxiety Disorder) are medical diseases or illnesses. This is a fraud. No child has a brain scan, blood test, X-Ray or any evidence of physical abnormality to verify they are "ill" or "diseased."

Yet NAMI continues to relentlessly pound the public with misleading and fraudulent statements that these so called mental disorders are biochemical or neurological conditions. That is false. They are simply a list of behaviors that psychiatrists vote into existence and insert into their billing bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

NAMIs efforts have led to millions and millions of children in the U.S. taking mind-altering psychiatric drugs.

NAMI , stop drug pushing in our schools and churches !!
