Mental Health Screening dangers

[Guest guest]

forced mental health screenings: a psychiatric inquistion

Forced screening of the genral population for " mental illness, " and the

possibility of forced treatment for those then " diagnosed, " is a dangerous

Unamerican fraud. When people are troubled, they, and they alone, should

determine whether to seek help, and, if so, where. We don't need experts to

tell us when we are troubled. And when children have difficulties, it is

the parents, not the state, who have primary responsibility for helping to

deal with them.

" Mental illness " is a vague term which has now expanded beyond all limits.

Should " experts " so label any of us, or our children, how do we disprove

it? And should they then insist that medication be given against our will

- as some public schools are already doing with ADHD-labeled children - how

do we protect ourselves againt these often-dangerous subtances?

Some forty years ago, a psychologist on Long Island urged a group of

educators to have " mental health teams " drop unannounced into classrooms to

find " sick " teachers needing " treatment, " because they were supposedly so

harmful to their students. All present were horrified, and rejected this

proposed resurrection of the medieval Inquisition, with " mental health

experts " taking the role of the medieval Church.

Psychiatry has been called the only business in America where the customer

is always wrong. Allowing it forcibly to screen the American public would

benefit only the screeners and the drug companies, and harm the rest of us -

as well as destroying our democratic traditions of free speech and thought.

Hi...

Look for minerals that have the trace mineral Lithium there........we use

Shilajit from India and it brought my mom out of dementia in 24

hours............I've seen Lithium in other U.S. sources of minerals

(alternative)........

One can read about Shilajit at herbscancure.com and there is a source in

the U.S. for Shilajit if interested. Shilajit is thousands of years old and is

Ayurvedic.

My husband and myself along with my mom all take Shilajit daily.

>>> and all

The common garden weed (which is considered a prized veggie in Europe) called

PURSLANE has a considerable amount of lithium.

Prepare it like spinach or pickle it. Earlier in the season it is a nice

addition to a mixed greens salad.
