Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Since I have discovered that psychiatry is a con I have started to lose my faith in much of medicine too. Down below is a link to an article by Mike where he says 50% of operations are unecessary. Surgeons make their living from surgery, they need to operate if they want the standard of living they have worked for. They also have expensive operating theatres to fund and staff to pay so if someone comes along with a borderline condition that might heal naturally they tend to operate. This can leave much scar tissue and sometimes makes things worse. Mike also points out the fads in surgery that were just money spinners, e.g. removing tonsils was a good little earner for a while. Although he doesn't say it here, in countries were medicine is private, the useless operation of circunscision on baby boys is routinely carried out. In Europe where where surgeons are paid a salery and not by the amount of surgery they do, circunscision is rarely carried out. We don't suffer more disease because of it. Anyway, here's the interesting bit. Dr Henry Cotton was a leading psychiatrist who, in the 1920's, cooked up the theory that mental illnesss was caused by diseased organs. His method was to remove the organs one by one until the mental illness was cured. Some of his patients had most of their organs removed and were mutilated beyond recognition. 30% of his patients died but he was hailed as a hero all over the world. Many of his patients were dragged screaming to the operating tables but many of the rich lined up to pay good money to have their relatives operated on. He became very wealthy indeed. To this day Henry Cotten is championed by psychiatry as he started up the idea of dailly staff meetings to discuss patient care. I like this extract from the article: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Not surprisingly, conventional medicine gleefully embraced Cotton's work, heaping unprecedented praise upon his " genius " discoveries about the true cause of mental illness. He was honored at medical institutions across the U.S. and Europe, and invited to speak to elite groups of leading doctors and surgeons. He was widely considered one of the pioneers in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders. (Today, by the way, the theory of mental disorders has shifted from " pus in the organs " to " chemical imbalances in the brain " which are treated by toxic synthetic chemicals known as prescription drugs. Different era, different terminology. Same con. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, you got it, same con.
