Drug-Induced Dimentia

       Drug-Induced Dimentia.  Get used to the term.
       Conscientious humans will be sharing their experiences with corporate medicine, as the failed paradigm of corporate psychiatry is fully exposed.
       Again, I acknowledge former Canadian Supreme Court Justice Jack Major, who pointed Canadians to the "competent but dissident" views in psychiatry, in the '"Starson ruling", (2002). 
        The DSM-5 will be declared law in 2013, and human emotions like grief and shyness will be further outlawed...('medicalized' if you prefer...)
        Happily, those 'competent but dissident' psychiatrists, are exposing the hypocracy, the pseudoscience, and the genocidal impact of psychiatry in this age.
        Dr. Grace Jackson is leading the way, with her book: 'Drug Induced Dimentia: A Perfect Crime'.
        Epidemiologists are exposing the genocidal impact of "anti-psychotic drugs" after the introduction of the "second generation" of "neuroleptics" in 1995.  See Matti Joukemaa, Markku Helovaa, Paul Kneht, Helio Vaara, Arpo Aronaa, Raimo Ralasalo, in their scientific report in the British Journal of Medicine (2006, 88, 188, 122-127).  They found that "in a given time period, the
relative risk of dying is 250 times per increment of one neuroleptic".
       These findings are the 'smoking gun' in the indictment of psychiatry in our age.
       One can observe the full impact of the genocide by following Mindfreedom.org and Breggin.org.

Corporations Corrupt Alberta!

     Forty years of Corporate rule! Albertans worship $$$ more than most Canadians.
     Year after year, educated Albertans watch the greed mongers at work. Dirty Oil gives rise to very dirty politics.
     The politics of greed, hatred and fear is the ethos here...
     Lawyers run the show, to defend the greed mongers, stripping the land of fauna, flora, human decency..
    Maude Barlow is denied standing at the University of Alberta, as Indira Samerasekera bestows a Nestle Corporation executive with an honourary degree..
     Albertans are watching!
     Corporations may buy my Alma Mater, but I'm not selling my soul to the Culture of Death.

Apocalypse now - The doors - The end

The End

       The Doors' epic song 'The End', is heard on the soundtrack of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, as Martin Sheen travels up the river to find and 'terminate' the rogue American Colonel Kurtz, played by Marlon Brando.
        This brilliant adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness, brings literature to life.
        Another novelist I admire is England's J.G. Ballard, who invokes a similar theme as Conrad, in taking his protagonist, Dr. Sanders, up an exotic river.  The opening paragraph of his novel 'The Crystal World' reads as follows:
         "Above all, the darkness of the river was what impressed Dr. Sanders as he looked out for the first time across the open mouth of the Matarre estuary.   After many delays, the small passenger steamer was at last approaching the line of jetties, but although it was ten o'clock the surface of the water was still grey and sluggish, leaching away the sombre tinctures of the collapsing vegetation along the banks."
         The theme of  a doctor travelling also occurs as Dr. Oliver Sacks joins his fellow botany enthusiasts on a trip to Mexico's Oaxaca State, and chronicles the trip in a book entitled 'Oaxaca Journal'.
      All these rich adventures form a back drop for my own imagination as I celebrate the end of "my wilderness years" in a long protracted withdrawal from a totally unnecessery prescription for an anti- psychotic drug.  That in itself gives rise to numerous conjectures about my sanity and honesty, but I have to persevere in my literary journey to prove myself before the greater public in Cyber land.
      I've encountered a few doctors in these wilderness years, and while I only know them in their professional capacity, (as they silently assess my own 'capacity'), I could invent some characters like the fine upstanding Oliver Sacks, who labours long and hard to help his patients  (See his book, Awakenings), and some doctors whom I would cast in a lesser light.
     But I have to journey up my own river, towards whomever my chosen 'Mr Kurtz' might be...
     This future literary adventure is tentatively titled "Further On Into the Rain Forest".
