Prescription drugs are connected to school shootings and other violence, yet
more drugs are touted as the solution
The United States is gaining a reputation around the world for raising
children who go on school shooting rampages. Earlier this year, we had
another one with 16-year-old Jeff Weiss, who went into his school on an
Indian reservation and blew away 10 friends. And guess what? He was taking
the antidepressant Prozac.
Once again we see the link between antidepressants and violent behavior. I
was raising the alarm about this in 1999 following the Columbine schools
shootings. At that time we knew that those students were on antidepressant
drugs, but the rest of the world didn't take any notice of it. The rest of
the world said, "These drugs are completely safe. They keep these kids happy
and in a normal state so they don't feel depressed." What they actually do,
though, is detach these kids from reality to the point they can go on
shooting rampages and not even have a clue that they're affecting the lives
of real people. It basically transforms the world into a video game that
these kids play out.

It makes it very easy for them to cross that threshold and begin to display
violent behavior. We've seen this in the studies and finally, after years
and years of pounding this issue, some of it has started to come out in the
popular press. We're seeing a lot of warnings now about antidepressant drugs
and their ability to cause violent behavior. We're seeing some of these
drugs pulled off the market. And slowly we're beginning to see the general
public recognizing the link between antidepressant drugs in our youth and
violent behavior, including school shootings.

Back in 1999, they blamed guns. So if the students had picked up knives and
stabbed people to death, it would have been a knife problem? Give me a
break; it's not a knife problem, or a gun problem. it's a medication
problem. These schools are supposed to be drug-free zones, and yet half the
kids are doped up on antidepressants and Ritalin. How is that drug-free?

If you're going to alter the brain chemistry of these children, you had
better be prepared for the results. The result we're seeing now is mass
killings. Elsewhere around the world, where children aren't doped up on all
these drugs, we don't see this kind of behavior. This is what happens when
you change children's brain chemistry; you get these results.

Now, you can talk about other factors that may be involved. We can talk
about violent video games, for example, and how some of these first-person
shooter games are potentially training simulators for violent and aggressive
behavior. However, I think you can only push that argument so far. If a
child can distinguish between a video game and reality, then he's not going
to be running around shooting people in the real world just because he
played a video game.

That doesn't mean these video games are healthy. I would certainly prefer
that children played something a little less violent, but I don't think you
can blame the video games for this behavior. You've got to go to the brain
chemistry. It's when you alter the brain chemistry that bad things start to
happen.


Boosting brain health with nutrition
Now, are there healthy ways to alter brain chemistry? Of course there are.
Fundamentally, this is actually a nutritional problem. If a child is
depressed, or if he or she is suffering from so-called ADHD -- which is a
completely fictional disease, by the way -- you can resolve the vast
majority of these issues by making changes in their diet.
As much as 80 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD can be completely free
of the "disease" in a matter of weeks just by taking certain metabolic
disrupters out of their diet -- most notably, refined sugars and refined
grains, such as white flour and artificial food colors. Imagine how healthy
children's nervous systems could be if we fed them good nutrition. What if
they had some supergreens or just some basic vitamins, minerals and whole
food concentrates? What could we do for the health of their brains?

They would have stable moods, they would have non-aggressive behavior, and
they would be more creative and more willing to learn. We could raise a
whole generation of healthy, intelligent children if we started with
nutrition, because the brain and nervous system are physical organs. People
forget that. The brain is a physical organ, and just like any physical organ
in your body, if you don't give it the right nutrients, then it won't
function properly.


Trying to raise a normal child without nutrition is akin to running a car
without oil
It's sort of like trying to run your car without any oil in it. I know
that's a crude metaphor, but some people get the point that way. You have to
have good nutrition for the brain; that means B vitamins and lots of
minerals -- magnesium, zinc, calcium and the trace minerals as well. You
have to have the phytonutrients, the pigmentation in these foods -- the
blues in the berries and the reds in the tomatoes and peppers, the orange in
carrots and so on.
The colors of foods are actually potent phytochemicals, and these colors
have highly protective effects on the nervous system. They also boost immune
system function in the body and can help reduce arthritis and inflammation.
They have a lot of beneficial effects in the body, yet children today are
growing up on mostly processed foods and junk foods.

You probably remember what you ate as a teenager. It's an atrocious diet. I
know mine was a terrible diet. I can't believe I made it to the age of 25
based on what I was eating then. But some kids aren't making it, and they're
not making it because they lack the basic nutrition they need to have
healthy functioning nervous systems.

So what does this organized medicine and psychiatry do to combat this
problem? It doses teenagers up on prescription drugs as if drugs are the
answer to every problem. Then they have another answer when these kids go
out and shoot each other. The answer, then, is prison time. "We'll lock
these kids away because they're dangerous to society."

Instead of spending a few dollars on nutrition to raise a healthy, balanced
human being with a functioning nervous system, we spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars, over the life of this
person to keep them incarcerated. We build more prisons. We put them on more
drugs, and we do nothing to create a productive member of society.

It only takes a few dollars worth of nutrition each month to support a
healthy child. Of course, there's more to it than just nutrition; there are
things like good parenting, a great living environment, a challenging
learning environment and so on. But in terms of the nutritional aspect, it
only takes a few dollars. Nutrition doesn't have to be expensive.


Investing in the health of our children is a bargain
To cover the nutrition basics only costs a few dollars a month, and that
investment would pay off so much in our society. It would be returned many
times over very quickly because every kid that we can save from the prison
system and give a new opportunity, in terms of being able to learn and take
on a skill and have real job opportunities out there, produces a windfall of
returns for society. That child is going to grow up and be a productive
member of society. He or she is going to pay taxes, possible raise a family
and be part of a community. Instead, we put them in prison, dose them up on
drugs and blame them for their actions when I believe they've actually been
instigated by the prescription drugs and toxic chemicals in their foods.
The don't need to be punished as mush as they simply need to be nourished. I
know this stands at odds with the current "incarcerate everybody" mentality
that dominates the culture here in the United States, the land of prisons --
but it's the truth. Why are we the country with the greatest prison
population in the world? It might be the same reason we are the nation with
the worst health problems in the world. They are connected, you know. People
who are unhealthy are unhappy, moody and can display aggressive, violent
behavior. Change their diets and you can turn many criminals into normal
people. Not all of them, of course, but a large number.


Modern society is addicted to drugs
Someday historians will look back on this era and wonder with great
bewilderment how we could poison our children with such toxic chemicals, how
we could poison an entire generation with prescription drugs and how we
could keep all our senior citizens in a zombie state, dosed up on
mind-altering drugs. They will wonder, "How could we do this as a society?
Were we insane? Were we completely out of our minds? What was wrong with
this society?"
At that time, society will have moved way beyond chemical-based medicine. We
will be focused on disease prevention, and we'll have electro-medicine.
We'll be using non-local medicine, for example, to help people stay healthy.
We'll have outstanding nutrition available at a very reasonable cost in
formats people can enjoy taking. Someday, nutrition will be recognized as
the number one way to prevent disease and keep people healthy.


Belief in chemicals as a cure-all is just one more sign that we are living
in the dark ages of medicine
Today, however, we're living in the Dark Ages of medicine. We're still
living in the chemical-based medical society where everybody says that
chemicals are the solutions to health problems.
"Does your head hurt? You need a chemical. Blood pressure too high? We have
a chemical for that, too. Do you feel nervous speaking in front of groups?
We have a chemical for that one. Having trouble with your relationships?
Chemical. Got a little bit of joint pain? Yup, there's a chemical for that."
Then they'll tell you, just in case, "We have chemicals for stuff that you
haven't even experienced yet. We have chemicals that you can take to make
sure that you never have pain or heart disease. You should take all these
chemicals right now, just in case, and keep taking them for as long as you
live."

How's that for a con? The con of pharmaceutical-based medicine is the
biggest con ever perpetrated on the American people. That con has effects in
our schools, and unfortunately, some of those side effects are fatal.


The silent holocaust of pharmaceutical deaths
Let's look at this in perspective: We're talking about 10 children being
killed in this particular incident, and there are a lot of headlines about
these 10 children being killed. Certainly, it is a tragedy. None of those
children deserved to die, and it didn't have to happen if only we were able
to actually take care of our children and feed them right in the first
place. But let's compare those 10 deaths to how many Americans have been
killed by prescription drugs this year alone. Even the Journal of the
American Medical Association says in a peer-reviewed study that prescription
drugs cause 100,000 deaths a year in this country.
Ten children die in this school shooting, and it gets a lot of attention.
Why? It's violent; people pay attention to violence. Meanwhile, we have
100,000 Americans (and that's a conservative number) dying every year just
from prescription drugs side effects, and it gets no attention. Why? It's
not violent. These 100,000 people die separately, and they die quietly. They
die in homes or in hospitals. There's no fiery crash, there's no late-night
footage for the news, there's no big explosion and there's nothing to report
to the tabloid papers. It's just 100,000 people dying silently.

Also, more than 16,500 deaths a year are caused by over-the-counter pain
medications. Non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) kill more than
16,500 people a year by gastrointestinal bleeding. Then the COX-2
inhibitors, which were supposed to be safer than the NSAIDs, came along, and
according to studies by chief drug researcher Dr. David Graham at the FDA,
they've caused more than 144,000 heart attacks, more than 40 percent of
which have been fatal.

So what are we talking about here? We're talking about drugs killing more
Americans than the entire Vietnam War. We're talking about it happening
every year -- twice a year, in fact. You want to talk about a war; this is
war on the people, and it's being waged by the pharmaceutical industry.
They're willing to trade your life for their profits, in my view. They can
get away with it because, again, there's no big event. People are dying
separately and quietly, and many of the people who are dying were in their
old age anyway, right? They figure no one will blame the drug.

We have a disturbingly drug-addicted society here, folks. We've got to get
back to health and basic nutrition by raising children with healthy,
functioning nervous systems. If we don't do that, no amount of chemistry is
going to save us. In fact, these chemicals are already responsible for
untold pain, suffering and death in our society.

The solution is not more chemicals. The solution is to change the paradigm
and get back to nutrition, healthy foods and disease prevention while
getting the poisonous ingredients out of our food supply. If we don't do
that, we're going to continue to be a society of violent criminals and
degenerates -- a society of people who don't have good cognitive function
and who are chemically dependant on a system of medicine that is actually
killing them at a rate that makes the Vietnam War look like a Boy Scout
skirmish in the woods.

That's the truth about modern medicine today. It's a crime against our own
children, and if we are to have any real hope of surviving as a nation for
another generation, this practice must be stopped.

Gee, they only have three of the worst cases in history including Montreal
where the shooters were medicated with similar medication. But that's only
100% of three.

We have to wait for a sample of a few thousand.

Agreed. The kids who do the shootings are on medication for a reason. To
even imply that the medications caused them to shoot is moronic.

institutionalized. His wove his hatred throughout
the fabric of Scientology.

Giving anyone with a mental problem when that mental problem can be
exacerbated or destructively changed is as criminal as anything in medicine
OR MURDER.

There are solutions. The solutions are not making the patient unaware of
consequences and altering their logical thinking.
Institutions are "presently" the only answer.
BUT there are the totally inconsiderate and equally mental cases called
PARENTS, parents typically with money.
What kind of parent is unaware that their child has an arsenal? SICK
PARENTS, parents who should serve time for aiding and abetting a dangerous
minor.

Gee, they only have three of the worst cases in history including
Montreal
where the shooters were medicated with similar medication. But that's
only
100% of three.

We have to wait for a sample of a few thousand.
A few years back, a woman wrote a book about this very thing. The
percentage dropped to about 90%. Nothing to see here, folks. Keep
moving.

Agreed. The kids who do the shootings are on medication for a reason. To
even imply that the medications caused them to shoot is moronic.


Giving anyone with a mental problem when that mental problem can be
exacerbated or destructively changed is as criminal as anything in medicine
OR MURDER.


There is no reason to believe that medications triggered anything that
happened. Dr. Peter Breggin contends that human behavior is unaffected
by brain chemicals.

There are solutions. The solutions are not making the patient unaware of
consequences and altering their logical thinking.


When dealing with a mentally ill person, this is usually impossible.

Institutions are "presently" the only answer.
BUT there are the totally inconsiderate and equally mental cases called
PARENTS, parents typically with money.
What kind of parent is unaware that their child has an arsenal? SICK
PARENTS, parents who should serve time for aiding and abetting a dangerous
minor.


What kind of parent has a gun in the house knowing that their child (or
anyone) has a mental illness.
