Psychiatry Industry of Death

Judge Gerald Le Dain remembered
Gerald Le Dain's respect for civil liberties went so far as to rouse John Lennon and Yoko Ono from their bed. It was 1969, the year of the couple's "bed-in for peace" in Montreal, and the year Judge Le Dain began chairing the much-referenced but largely ignored Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs. >by Noreen Shanahan >Globe and Mail

You're overgeneralizing db. I was nearly given a license to grow. The only thing that stopped me, frankly, was laziness. All the paperwork every year that the gov would have made me and my gp wade through just wasn't worth it. But he'd have signed off on it. I know plenty of gp's with a holistic and natural approach when their patients are willing to take that road. Patients tend to want the pill to pop though... junkies.

Overgeneralization, of course, but still if you examine the drug problem in the western world it's legalized phramasuetical abuse of unsuspecting patients on a scale that dwarfs street drugs. Until that's common knowledge I can overdue my generalizations all I want.
As for licence for pot cultivation the associated paperwork and beuruocratic maze is by design and at the behest of those same pharmasuetical corporations who have license to poison and wreck lives at an ever accelarating pace with virtually no effort made to investigate or curtail the practice.

Yup, Karrie. My old doctor in Ontario was very much into what he calle 'the molecular maintenance of the body', rather than the pill to fix all ills. His brush with cancer changed his mind about the way he approached his practice. He had no problem expressing his profanity-ladened opinions on the rampant use of pharmaceuticals. The old adage an ounce of prevention is worth an ounce of cure rings true.

In the interest of freedom of speech, we must tolerate this nonsense, of course. Normal thinking people will just walk away. This process of tolerance, literally a lack of moderation, turnc CC into a nuthouse. If there is no way to prevent CC from being a playground for the mentally ill, then they'll take over the place, as they largely have already.

There must be moderation of these liars or decent people will not abide here. Fact, or fiction?

lolll Jimshort - forgive my nodding in on just the one comment here, but I had to say your statement caught me off guard and made me guffaw out loud - at work. Not at you, just at the irony of the situation. It wasn't so very long ago we were being accused of the very opposite behaviour. The old saw "you can please some of the people some of the time... etc. etc...." comes to mind.

thanks for the chuckle...as you were...;-)

Since I came down with fibromyalgia, I've had docs more than eager to try out every new pain med and treatment protocol on me. I've been cocktails of meds that left me a suicidal zombie. I avoid docs now, but, out of necessity I've been given the name and information from a fellow fibro sufferer, of a doc here in town who focuses on vitamin therapy, rather than pain meds. I can't wait to see if she lives up to her rep.

Here's another catch, if we could stop eating industrial food we would very definately see great reduction in disease and the overprescription of what are esentially toxins, but we can't because all the necessary provisions for sustenance are owned and controled in a seamless corporate conglomerate literally from birth to death.

Zan, "thanks for the chuckle...as you were."

There is nothing worse than being dismissed as harmless. For a man anyway. I am pretty dangerous you know.

Zan, Zan, you really must come over to my house some time for tea! All of the other people that I've had for tea, compared to you now Zan, seem so cold - and stiff!

 

[jimshort19]

Karrie, fibromyalgia? That sounds bad. I know it's bad. I got M.S. Doctors wanted me to take $20,000 worth of drugs and treatment per year. Got a different doctor. Felt somewhat improved immediately. I like my doctor. That's one thing to be thankful for, and it's no small thing. Good luck with your doctor, even if no good cure is held out, hang on to what you believe in.

Zan, to Jim, and only Jim, "Til then I am aquiver ... in fear and anticipation you dangerous thang you."

Zan, we must stop meeting like this. Think about the children!

These conspiracy guys get all the chicks. But when Jim posts a conspiracy theory, does anybody care? Noooooooooo.

yeah... any autoimmune disease suck royally. But I'm told I'm lucky because I'll live a long time with mine. Most of the time I can live with it, but some flare ups are enough to take the wind out of my sails. I had nerve rash (which actually makes them wonder, because it's not an actual fibro symptom as they recognize fibro), all over the soles of my feet before Christmas. Trying to walk across the street to get the kids left me panting in pain. It was like walking on marbles and jacks. Ah well, enough whining.

I'm glad you've got a doc you like. I can't imagine trying to deal with something like MS if you didn't like the doc.
