Most people have underlying mental or other health issues that we take pains to prevent from emerging.
There is so much demonic energy around in just the environment that people take psychedelics to evolve beyond, but there is for many people nothing in place to shut the door on the demons.

Dr James Davies graduated from the University of Oxford in 2006
with a DPhil in Social and Medical Anthropology.
He is a Reader in Social Anthropology and Mental Health at the University of Roehampton a
nd a practicing psychotherapist.

James has delivered lectures at universities
such as Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Oslo, Brown, UCL and Columbia.

He has written for The Times, The New Scientist, The Guardian and Salon,
and is author of the bestselling book:
!..Cracked: why psychiatry is doing more harm than good.."

James is the co-founder of the Council for Evidence-based Psychiatry,
now secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Prescribed Drug Dependence.
His latest book: ‘..Mental Health in Crisis..’ .


Why, without solid scientific justification
has the number of mental disorders risen from 106 in the 1960s, to around 370 today?

Why has the definition of mental disorder expanded
to include ever more domains of human experience?
In the first part of this lecture, Dr James Davies shows behind the scenes info
of how the psychiatrist’s bible, the DSM, was actually written
– did science drive the construction of new mental disorder categories like ADHD
and major depression
or were less scientific and more unexpected processes at play? :)

His exclusive interviews with the creators of the DSM reveal the answer.

The second part will address why psychiatry is such big business,
and why, on the whole, it may be doing more harm than good.
Insider knowledge on how psychiatry has put riches
and medical status above patients’ well-being.

The charge sheet is damning;
negative drug trials routinely buried :)
antidepressants that work no better than placebos
research regularly manipulated to produce positive results
doctors, seduced by huge pharmaceutical rewards, creating more disorders and prescribing more pills :)

- ethical, scientific and treatment flaws unscrupulously concealed by mass-marketing. :)

You’ll learn the true human cost of an industry that,
in the name of helping others, has actually been helping itself.

SELLING SICKNESS: THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY ​

& DISEASE BRANDING - Big Pharma Documentary​



To sell a cure, first you need to sell the disease :)
According to some research,
pharmaceutical companies are medicalising normal conditions, like the menopause
promoting non-existent diseases,
& transforming mild problems into serious conditions that need treatment.

Twenty years ago, few people worried about their cholesterol level.

Today, thanks to the pharmaceutical companies
high cholesterol levels are recognized as a major health problem
& two of the best-selling drugs are statin reducers.

Disease branding can destigmatize shameful problems,
transforming incontinence into an ‘..overactive bladder..’
& encouraging people to seek treatment. But it can also put healthy people at risk
leading to them taking medicines with potentially dangerous side effects.

Saying that comparing drugs to alcohol is absurd is absurd.
They are all drugs, they all can be addicting and can harm and kill you. Why waste your energy on this meaningless distinction...?

No, this is why their alcohol consumption is forbidden, obviously;
but alcoholism is common in Eastern Europe, yet statistically significantly lower than the UK, Britain, Canada, Australia, the USA,
and is much less severe than drug addiction, with some extreme cases
Comparing drugs to alcohol is absurd

Both coffee and some tea have caffeine, along with dark chocolate. Why did you stop ingesting caffeine and sugar? Are they causing health problems?

footage taken on Friday 2 June 2023 in Philadelphia's most infamous neighborhood Kensington.
This area is crazy and lives up to all the hype.
What you see is real, is not a movie, and it's not scripted :)
This is raw footage
of the happenings of a small area just a few blocks of madness and chaos
no man's land. It's a stark view into addiction, poverty and crime
on the streets of America's cities.
Philadelphia, like most American cities
hit it's peak population in the 1950's and had been in decline for 60 years.
However between 2010 - 2020 the city experienced a resurgence as the population grew almost 6%.

Major crimes like murder were down, gentrification was in full swing
and so the outlook was positive.
2020 that all came crashing down
the number of murders went from 353 in 2019 to 499 in 2020.
In 2022 there were 516 murders in the city of Brotherly Love.
Hopefully we can see a reduction in 2023 and this city can get back on track.

The link between pharmaceuticals and acts of violance is staggering
The psychotropics have a substantial role in very many shootings.

In the testing of drugs on Autopsy, they are essentially only testing for drugs that cause overdose
& illegal drugs. They do not test for commonly administered drugs that are FDA approved. :)
If that changed, we might start to notice very interesting trends :)
The psych therapists want you addicted to their therapy also, plus they push the drugs too.
for DECADES, SSRIs have had warnings about the homicidal & suicidal risks
of giving them to teens & young adults
so they should be included in all tox screens of mass murderers in that age demographic.
to enable to accurately assess where the next shooter will come from & how they'll be created.
but
There is too much money in ssri’s to admit the connection :)
even if for DECADES,
the data on SSRIs has proven they can have dangerous effects on teens & young adults
yet some doctors are still pushing them
on people who had perfectly NORMAL reactions to losing family.

Highlighting how carelessly SSRIs are being prescribed.
NO ONE is meant to be happy, cheery & peppy every day.
The fact this is the end goal should scare us more
SSRI causes both suicidal and homicidal ideations
Every mass shooting incident should automatically force a FULL blood spectrum test on the shooter

Suspected suicidal drivers allegedly on psych meds as such drive the wrong way on the freeways
& hit oncoming traffic resulting in an innocent's death
but still these drugs aren't included in toxicology
- have noticed toxicology reports never include these drugs
and it SHOULD be MUCH more comprehensive for mass shooters.

those drugs they test for are either a C1 - Street Drug - C5 controlled substance.
SSRI's are a generally prescribed medication that over 60% of the population are prescribed.
If they would show they these ssri's are a cause to these shootings,
there would be uproar
BUT
They've known, for decades, SSRIs can cause homicidality and/or suicidality in teens and young adults.
the biggest reason those psychotropic drugs aren't tested for
is because
revelation of any one of those drugs found in a toxicology report
could be used to further the fight against allowing people taking them to be allowed access to firearms
as well as
shining a light on
the pharmaceutical industry's role in these incidents:)

San Francisco fentanyl crisis​
