How about life in prison for doctors who prescribe psychiatric drugs to toddlers?
By Jon Rappoport
Over the past 25 years, I've documented and exposed the horrendous effects of psychiatric drugs.
To take this a giant step further, what doctor, in his right mind, would DIAGNOSE a baby, a toddler, a very young child with a mental disorder and then PRESCRIBE one of these drugs?
"Your six-month-old baby has clinical depression." What lunatic would say such a thing?
In case you're a new reader, I've firmly established that NO so-called mental disorder is diagnosed on the basis of a defining laboratory test. Not a blood test, not a urine test, not a brain scan, not a genetic assay.
And yet, here are MDs saying---on the basis of psychiatric committee decisions that arbitrarily define these disorders---that babies have specific mental illnesses.
On February 19, 2015, the Wall St. Journal reported:
"Psychiatric drugs are now being given to infants and toddlers in unprecedented numbers."
"An analysis of 2013 IMS Data, found that over 274,000 infants (0-1 year olds) and some 370,000 toddlers (1-3 years age) in the U.S. were on antianxiety (e.g. Xanax) and antidepressant (e.g. Prozac) drugs. This report also found over 1,400 infants were on ADHD drugs."
"A 2014 Georgia Medicaid analyses...when extrapolated nationwide by the New York Times found that over 10,000 toddlers were put on ADHD treatments [amphetamine-type drugs]."
"Prescriptions of powerful antipsychotics such as Risperdal for infants and very young children have also sharply risen. Office visits for childhood bipolar disorder have risen 40-fold over the past decade in the U.S."
The doctors who prescribe these dangerous and highly harmful drugs are worse than street dealers. What street dealer would try to sell a drug to a parent for her one-year-old child?
If the Department of Justice won't take action, professional medical societies, such as the American Medical Association, should publish the names of doctors who prescribe psychiatric drugs to toddlers, and state medical boards should strip these doctors of their licenses to practice. But this is a fantasy, because every major medical group is a partner of the pharmaceutical industry.
It falls, then, to parents to keep their babies miles away from brain-killing MDs who prescribe the drugs.
Here is a tiny sample of available open-source literature. You can multiply the reported drug-effects many times, when babies are the patients---and in many cases, the specific damage to adult patients, when applied to babies, is impossible to predict, except that it will be far-reaching and chaotic.
In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a most important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called "An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate)" [v.21(7), pp. 837-841].
Scarnati listed a large number of adverse effects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms. (Scarnati's findings would apply to all ADHD drugs, which are amphetamine-like.)
For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature:
Paranoid delusions
Paranoid psychosis
Hypomanic and manic symptoms, amphetamine-like psychosis
Activation of psychotic symptoms
Toxic psychosis
Visual hallucinations
Auditory hallucinations
Can surpass LSD in producing bizarre experiences
Effects pathological thought processes
Extreme withdrawal
Terrified affect
Started screaming
Aggressiveness
Insomnia
Since Ritalin is considered an amphetamine-type drug, expect amphetamine-like effects
Psychic dependence
High-abuse potential DEA Schedule II Drug
Decreased REM sleep
When used with antidepressants one may see dangerous reactions including hypertension, seizures and hypothermia
Convulsions
Brain damage may be seen with amphetamine abuse.
In the US alone, there are at least 300,000 cases of motor brain damage incurred by people who have been prescribed so-called anti-psychotic drugs. Risperdal (mentioned above as a drug given to toddlers diagnosed with Bipolar) is one of those major tranquilizers. (Source: Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin, St. Martin's Press, 1991)
February 1990 American Journal of Psychiatry (Teicher et al, v.147:207-210) reports on "six depressed patients, previously free of recent suicidal ideation, who developed `intense, violent suicidal preoccupations after 2-7 weeks of fluoxetine [Prozac] treatment.' The suicidal preoccupations lasted from three days to three months after termination of the treatment. The report estimates that 3.5 percent of Prozac users were at risk."
An earlier study, from the September 1989 Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, by Joseph Lipiniski, Jr., indicates that in five examined cases people on Prozac developed what is called akathisia. Symptoms include intense anxiety, inability to sleep, the "jerking of extremities," and "bicycling in bed or just turning around and around." Psychiatrist Peter Breggin comments that akathisia "may also contribute to the drug's tendency to cause self-destructive or violent tendencies ... Akathisia can become the equivalent of biochemical torture..."
The June 1990 Health Newsletter, produced by the Public Citizen Research Group, reports, "Akathisia, or symptoms of restlessness, constant pacing, and purposeless movements of the feet and legs, may occur in 10-25 percent of patients on Prozac."
"Emergence of self-destructive phenomena in children and adolescents during fluoxetine treatment," published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (1991, vol.30), written by RA King, RA Riddle, et al, reports self-destructive phenomena in 14% (6/42) of children and adolescents (10-17 years old) who had treatment with fluoxetine (Prozac) for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
July, 1991. Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Hisako Koizumi, MD, describes a thirteen-year-old boy who was on Prozac: "full of energy," "hyperactive," "clown-like." All this devolved into sudden violent actions which were "totally unlike him."

Wake up, parents. Your children are under grave threat from psychiatrists.

Jon,
I am in full agreement to LOCK UP every doctor that has prescribed psychiatric drugs to toddlers.
Thank you for this important post.
I just email Jon Rappoport at his website. He responded back within an hour with the following:
i'm not using it myself. someone contacted me and said she was trying to figure out if i was---it sounded like she was trying to help...i don't have the time to use steemit---so the short answer is, i don't know who is posting my work there...
jon
So unless you can show me something to the contrary, You are fake.
I was given permission to post his work onto Steemit.
This is also fake. You can't tell who sent it. Looks like cut and paste. Also dated Sep 2017. You need to post all the relevant data. Follow up emails to me calls whoever is posting his work an imposter.
Get 'em buddy!!!
About time we see you here Jon!
Highly rEsteemed!
Heads up. Looks like the @nomorefakenews account is fake. Jon was confused by the first email contact and seemed to verify it but further communication shows this is not him. Bummer.
We have been talking about it in the #informationwar discord chat and I know @familyprotection #familyprotection members are also on it.
Yes... I'm keeping an eye on it. Hopefully this person will hand the keys to Jon and he can get busy on SteemIt. Thank you for chiming in.

How about life in prison for doctors that prescribe psychotropic drugs for... I don't know- maladies that don't exist that they make up as they go along??? Welcome to Steemit Jon. I've done a few posts about the dangers of psychotropics myself. I've watched my best friend on a downward spiral for the past 15 years, he's gotten so bad I had to move in with him because he can't take care of himself (and the only thing wrong is the drugs have turned him into a turnip!
It looks like this is another fake account! Read @celsius100 comment above.
Its a shame because we were looking forward to promoting his work here on steemit.
I saw that and just told Vicki
I saw that and just told Vicki
I'm in the process of doing an Imposter Alert post about it!

Maybe just get trump to send in the army and give them all the death penalty LOL
