Two deadly Pandemics at once - COVID-19 and Psychiatric Drugging

Insidious and Dangerous Psychiatric "treatment" is harmfully pushed by media and politicians to address Coronavirus fear

Psychiatric Drugging Pandemic
Psychiatric Drugging Pandemic

One hidden from sight and afflicting its victims in plain view. One disguised in plain sight, but killing its victims unnoticed.

The first is Coronavirus. It is dangerous and needs to be dealt with. It afflicts many and tends to kill elderly with already existing medical conditions.

The other virus is psychiatry and its disease-causing treatments. Did you know that since 1950 in the U.S. more patients have died in mental wards than all the American soldiers that have been killed in all the wars America has ever been in? Many of these deaths were earlier when people were warehoused for longer periods of time in institutions but the current system of keeping people heavily drugged throughout their lives is likely even more dangerous.

There is a psychiatric drugging pandemic level of one in six Americans who are afflicted with health-destroying and mind-altering psychiatric drugs. In 2006, a study was published titled “Morbidity and Mortality in People with Serious Mental Illness” that showed that mental patients being treated by the American mental health system were dying on average 25 years earlier than the general population (at average age of 51 compared to 76). A main reason cited for this phenomenon was the use of the modern antipsychotic drugs on patients. The modern antipsychotics are drugs like Seroquel (quetiapine), Abilify (aripiprazol), Risperdal (ripiradone) and Zyprexa (olanzpine).

Originally the antipsychotics were designed to treat mental patients and they were a major factor in their premature deaths. Nevertheless, in the 1990’s the drugs were marketed for elderly with dementia.

In 2005, the FDA ordered warnings on these drugs because they noticed from 17 studies that they caused elderly to die much more quickly. However, the killing off of elderly with antipsychotics continues to this day.

Despite the knowledge that these drugs were shown to markedly shorten the lives of mental patients and elderly, in the early 2000’s the drugs were marketed for American soldiers and for children, including very young ones. This is especially disgraceful because it was already apparent that these toxins were causing early deaths to patients and they would be prescribed without real informed consent, that is informing the patients or parents of children that the drugs would shorten the patients’ lives.

Not only do these drugs cause markedly shortened life span, they can cause numerous other serious diseases like rapid weight gain and diabetes and uncontrollable body movements in the face, mouth, tongue and arms and legs (known as tardive dyskinesia). They cause a steady loss of brain tissue while a patient is taking them. They cause lessening of bone density, acute kidney injury and even male breast growth. In a recent study they were found to be among a group of drugs that increase the probability of a person developing dementia in their older years.

So what we have is psychiatry masquerading as medicine, but in actuality making up mental disorders that have never been found in the bodies of patients, doing diagnosing with no real scientific or medical testing and prescribing treatments that cause patients serious and deadly diseases in abundance.

We are going to handle the COVID-19 virus as we agree that it is a dangerous pandemic. Until we recognize the more insidious and dangerous psychiatric drugging pandemic as harm and not legitimate medicine, it will not come under control.
