"To understand even a little bit about real psychiatry, versus the
false picture, you have to know that someone running around the streets
naked and screaming has nothing to do with a mental disorder.
If you can’t grasp that, you’ll always have a lingering sense that
psychiatry is on the right track. It isn’t, and never was. Not from its
earliest days, and not now, when it has the full backing and force of
the federal government behind it.
Psychiatry is the kind of all-out fraud few people grasp.
In a moment of weakness and exhaustion, Allen Frances, the most famous
and honored psychiatrist in America at the time (2000), understood part
of it. He told Gary Greenberg of Wired Magazine, “There is no definition
of a mental disorder. It’s bullshit. I mean, you just can’t define it.”
BANG.
That’s on the order of the designer of the Hindenburg, looking at the
burned rubble on the ground, remarking, “Well, I knew there would be a
problem.”
After a suitable pause, Dr. Frances remarked to
Greenberg, “These concepts [of distinct mental disorders] are virtually
impossible to define precisely with bright lines at the borders.”
This was an admission that the bible of the profession, the DSM, the
latest edition of which Frances himself had led in compiling, could not
draw separations between the 297 official mental disorders listed in it.
It was, in other words, a pretense. The whole bible.
In a PBS
Frontline episode, Does ADHD Exist?, Dr. Russell Barkley, an eminent
professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Massachusetts
Medical Center, spelled out the fraud even more clearly.
Here it is.
PBS FRONTLINE INTERVIEWER: Skeptics say that there’s no biological
marker – that it [ADHD] is the one condition out there where there is no
blood test, and that no one knows what causes it.
BARKLEY:
That’s tremendously naive, and it shows a great deal of illiteracy about
science and about the mental health professions. A disorder doesn’t
have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental
disorders would be invalid…There is no lab test for any mental disorder
right now in our science. That doesn’t make them invalid. [Emphasis
added]
Oh, indeed, that does make them invalid. Utterly and
completely. All 297 mental disorders. They’re all hoaxes. Because there
are no tests of any kind to back up the diagnosis.
You can sway
and tap dance all you like and you won’t escape the noose around your
neck. We are looking at a science that isn’t a science. That’s called
fraud. Rank fraud."

In 1973 just as the sales of Psychiatric drugs was beginning to
skyrocket and the DSM3 project was underway with its expunging of
Freudian Psychotherapeutic argot (words such as neurosis and complex
were excised for edition 3) with its "medical model"
Psychological/Behavioral Diagnoses and matching Medical Treatments with
Centrally Acting Patented Drug Pills and Electroshock Treatment, the APA
crafted an Independent Task Force on the Biochemical Testing and
Treatment oriented research Psychiatrists to discredit their work. Can
not have accepted Scientific Medical testing and appropriate therapies
when the exclusive paradigm desired is decades of Naming as Diagnosis
(Psychiatric Nosology) and Brain Drugging and Electric Shocking as the
nature of what Treatment is. (Goebbels - The big lie).
In light
of this crime against humanity, this 50 year congame as Medicine,
certain sentences in the TF7 Document are notable. Such as for instance
this statement, "If there is to be wide professional acceptance of a
megavitamin or orthomolecular treatment program, it must be based on
demonstrable biochemical defects in this condition"
Rose My Wife by Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D.
http://www.orthomolecular.org/history/hoffer/ahlife.pdf
"Rose, my wife, was convinced that things do not happen by chance,"
.... "Hoffer Osmond and Smythies3 formulated the adrenochrome
hypothesis." ...... "Our executive director, after Cal Samra left,
arranged for some of us to meet with a small representation from NIMH.
We met in Washington, DC. On our side we had Linus Pauling, Humphry
Osmond, our executive director and for the NIMH Dr Morris Lipton, who
had chaired the remarkable Task Force of the American Psychiatric
Association which had roundly denounced our work and had published a
most remarkable document, remarkable for its totally dishonest account
of what we had been doing and claiming."
1973 “Task Force #7” Report to the American Psychiatric Association on Orthomolecular Therapy in Psychiatry
“Socially desirable outcomes have sometimes been derived from
myths or fervently held beliefs. To this extent the orthomolecular
movement in psychiatry may be socially useful. But if psychiatry is to
become and remain scientific, it must meet the test of scientific
validity. Nicotinic acid therapy does not do so at this time. If there
is to be wide professional acceptance of a megavitamin or orthomolecular
treatment program, it must be based on demonstrable biochemical defects
in this condition and upon adequately designed and carefully executed
clinical experiments with data presented to the professional and
scientific community in an acceptable fashion. Such publications have
not appeared from proponents of the orthomolecular approach for many
years.
In the end the credibility of the megavitamin
proponents and the orthomolecular psychiatrists becomes the crucial
issue because it is never possible to fully prove or disprove a
therapeutic procedure. Rather the theory and practice gain or lose
credibility as its premises, methods, and results are examined, and
attempts are made at clinical replication by independent investigators.
This review and critique has carefully examined the literature produced
by mega-vitamin proponents and those who have attempted to replicate
their basic and clinical work. It concludes that in this regard the
creditability of megavitamin proponents is low.
Their
credibility is further diminished by a consistent refusal over the past
decade to perform controlled experiments and to report their new results
in a scientifically acceptable fashion.
Under these
circumstances this Task Force considers the massive publicity which they
promulgate via radio, the lay press and popular books, using catch
phrases which are really misnomers like “megavitamin therapy” and
“orthomolecular treatment” to be deplorable.”

Diet, diabetes and schizophrenia: review and hypothesis
MALCOLM PEET 2004
http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/184/47/s102.full.pdf
International
variations in the outcome of schizophrenia and the prevalence of
depression in relation to national dietary practices Malcolm Peet, FRCPsych
http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/184/5/404.long
"The dietary predictors of outcome of schizophrenia and prevalence of
depression are similar to those that predict illnesses such as coronary
heart disease and diabetes, which are more common in people with mental
health problems and in which nutritional approaches are widely
recommended. Dietary intervention studies are indicated in schizophrenia
and depression." "
Diabetes, coronary heart disease and other related conditions that cluster
together have been conceptualised as manifestations of the ‘metabolic
syndrome’ (
De Fronzo &
Ferrannini, 1991;
Hansen,
1999). Because these diseases also cluster with schizophrenia and
depression, it has been proposed that these mental disorders may share some
aetiological factors with physical diseases that constitute the metabolic
syndrome (
Peet & Edwards,
1997;
Ryan & Thakore,
2002). A fundamental abnormality in the metabolic syndrome is
insulin resistance (
Hansen,
1999). Abnormal glucose utilisation reflecting insulin resistance
has been demonstrated in patients with depression
(
Peet & Edwards, 1997). In
schizophrenia, abnormalities of glucose utilisation were demonstrated before
the introduction of modern antipsychotic drugs
(
Ryan & Thakore, 2002).
Insulin resistance is altered by diet. Regular consumption of significant
quantities of foodstuffs with a high ‘glycaemic load’, such as
sugar and white bread, which rapidly release glucose into the blood-stream,
gives rise to insulin resistance and subsequent susceptibility to diabetes and
cardiovascular disease (
Ludwig,
2002). A high dietary intake of saturated fat leads to increased
insulin resistance, whereas substitution of saturated fat with polyunsaturated
fat can reverse this effect and may be protective against future development
of insulin resistance (
Summers et
al, 2002). The risk of mortality from coronary heart disease
is decreased by regular consumption of fish and pulses
(
Mann, 2002). Thus, dietary
patterns that influence insulin resistance and lead to diseases of the
metabolic syndrome are reflected by the dietary predictors of outcome of
schizophrenia and prevalence of depression in the present study. It can
therefore be hypothesised that insulin resistance and associated metabolic
disturbances resulting from dietary factors may account for the clinical
association between depression, schizophrenia and the physical diseases of the
metabolic syndrome.
An obvious practical consequence of this hypothesis is the possibility that
mental health could be improved by dietary manipulation."

"In Ayurveda, the herbal preparation is referred to as a "rasayana", an

medication that normalizes physiological functions, disturbed by chronic
stress, through correction of imbalances in the neuroendocrine and
immune systems."

Oxidative stress and role of antioxidant and omega-3 essential fatty acid supplementation in schizophrenia.
Source
Department of Psychiatry and Health Behavior, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, USA. Mahadik@psych.mcg.edu
Abstract
1.
Schizophrenia is a major mental disorder that has a lifetime risk of 1%
and affects at young age (average age at the onset 24 +/- 4.6 years) in
many cultures around the world. The etiology is unknown, the
pathophysiology is complex, and most of the patients need treatment and
care for the rest of their lives. 2. Cellular oxidative stress is
inferred from higher tissue levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS,
e.g., O2*-, OH*, OH-, NO* and ONOO--) than its antioxidant defense that
cause peroxidative cell injury, i.e., peroxidation of membrane
phospholipids, particularly esterified essential polyunsaturated fatty
acids (EPUFAS), proteins and DNA. 3. Oxidative stress can lead to global
cellular with predominantly neuronal peroxidation, since neurons are
enriched in highly susceptible EPUFAs and proteins, and damages DNA is
not repaired effectively. 4. Such neuronal peroxidation may affect its
function (i.e., membrane transport, loss of mitochondrial energy
production, gene expression and therefore receptor-mediated
phospholipid-dependent signal transduction) that may explain the altered
information processing in schizophrenia. 5. It is possible that the
oxidative neuronal injury can be prevented by dietary supplementation of
antioxidants (e.g., vitamins E, C and A; beta-carotene, Q-enzyme,
flavons, etc.) and that membrane phospholipids can be corrected by
dietary supplementation of EPUFAs. 6. It may be that the oxidative
stress is lower in populations consuming a low caloric diet rich in
antioxidants and EPUFAs, and minimizing smoking and drinking. 7.
Oxidative stress exists in schizophrenia based on altered antioxidant
enzyme defense, increased lipid peroxidation and reduced levels of
EPUFAs. The life style of schizophrenic patients is also prooxidative
stress, i.e., heavy smoking, drinking, high caloric intake with no
physical activity and treatment with pro-oxidant drugs. 8. The patients
in developed countries show higher levels of lipid peroxidation and
lower levels of membrane phospholipids as compared to patients in the
developing countries. 9. Initial observations on the improved outcome of
schizophrenia in patients supplemented with EPUFAs and antioxidants
suggest the possible beneficial effects of dietary supplementation. 10.
Since the oxidative stress exists at or before the onset of psychosis
the use of antioxidants from the very onset of psychosis may reduce the
oxidative injury and dramatically improve the outcome of illness.

The late Lendon Smith, M.D. was a very popular
Doctor who appeared on T.V. on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show and wrote
excellent books. He explains how the use of Psychostimulant drugs such
as Ritalin for hyperactivity & attention deficit was
discovered by a Medical accident. This was in the 1930s. By 1980
responsible people were describing the increasing sales of Ritalin and
Adderal as an "epidemic." (See. google, "lendon smith attention bromide
benzedrine.") This first Doctor suggested various harms to the brain
that might be causing sub-clinical or minimal brain impairment in these
patients. It behooved Big Pharma and Big Psychiatry to lose the
terminology MBD minimal Brain Dysfunction and switch to ADD and ADHD as
real Diseases (of as yet unknown nature!) Diagnosed, get this,
behaviorally. And needing real Medicines, that being ever increasing
sales of Ciba Geigy's Ritalin product and others. Any Doctors
suggesting, along the way, that petroleum dyes added to processed foods
with too much sugar in them, or not enough zinc, or what have you, was
the trouble... too much lead and mercury, were branded "alternative"
quack Doctors. ADHD is a real single Disease the cause of which is
unknown! There is no Laboratory blood-work Test to confirm a person has
contracted it... there is no cure... it can't be confirmed a person had
it even by autopsy, but it is a real single Disease, and it calls for
Real Medicine prescribed by the Doctor. They do not know how the
Medicine works... but nevertheless that's the best treatment there is.
And yellow dye has Nothing to do with it! That is absurd!! Their
License should be revoked.

Naturopathic Medicine and the New Political Realities
A talk by Peter Barry Chowka presented at the Tenth Annual Convention
of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP), Snowmass
Village, Colorado O)ct. 1995
http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.aspx?ID=832
"the crisis runs much deeper. And for its roots, we need to go
back about 100 years -- which is to 1896 and what is considered the start
of Naturopathic Medicine in North America -- the centennial of which will
be celebrated next year.
In the late 1800s and early in this century, the arts of healing and the practice of medicine were extremely
diverse. The options were eclectic, small scale, community-based, grassroots,
and included some quite effective, traditional modalities that had been in
use for over hundreds and thousands of years: homeopathy, hydrotherapy, herbal
medicine, nutrition, physical medicine, the powers of touch and of the mind,
and so on.
There was some quackery, too, of course -- not least from the growing
school of allopathy -- but there was considerable freedom and a free
marketplace of medical ideas.
As many of you know, this democratic -- with a small d -- system came to a screeching halt shortly
after the publication of the Flexner Report in 1910. Paid for
by the special interests, and very much in sync with the allopathic, mechanistic
medical paradigm and the emerging petrochemical power structure of the period,
the Flexner Report was supposedly meant to regulate and improve medical
education. In reality, it succeeded in driving most of the eclectic practitioners
and their schools totally out of business. An example was the Hahnemann
homeopathic hospital and school in Philadelphia which became an
allopathic medical institution! The broad range of learning,
expertise, and clinical practice represented by things like botanical medicine
and homeopathy was relegated to a curious freak-like footnote in the history
of medicine, or driven underground to simmer quietly until the climate might
become accepting again.
As the 20th Century advanced -- and I have that word advanced in quotes, by the way -- As the 20th Century advanced, the hegemony of allopathic medicine came to be near-complete. First
it was the petrochemical and pharmaceutical mega-interests, and emerging
professional class of medical experts, who redirected healing into a very
narrow, reductionist, and self-serving approach. An example here is the
way the tax-exempt Eli Lilly Foundation, flush with profits from the Eli
Lilly drug company, gave hundreds of millions of dollars to U.S. medical
schools over several decades to ensure that the basis of medicine would become,
and would remain, pharmacology."
