What is CHRONICALLY ILL INDIVIDUAL?

A person certified as lacking some physical or mental ability essential for living independently. A medical professional or social worker must makes this certification .Law Dictionary: What is CHRONICALLY ILL INDIVIDUAL? definition of CHRONICALLY ILL INDIVIDUAL (Black's Law Dictionary) 

The danger here is the words social worker.

Drugs in the brain

Chemical imbalances are but a myth this is what happens when you ad chemicals to a delicate brain. The ingredients in this experiment are similar in consistency to the human brain. Note the chemicals are just placed in contact and the reaction starts immediately. Over dosing is all too common by the medical profession.

Seeing a psychiatrist

If you are seeing a psychiatrist then stop immediately as to continue will result in weight gain pills and more pills headaches and nausea total destruction of your life. The list is endless and you will become dependant on the state. Then there is the other avenue down the road to experimentation. ON YOU!

Battered Plaintiffs - injuries from hired guns and compliant courts

Jean Lennane

jlennane@iinet.net.auApril 2000

Dr Jean Lennane is a psychiatrist now working in private practice in Sydney. An active and vocal unionist during the fourteen years she worked as director of drug and alcohol services at the Rozelle Hospital in Sydney, she was eventually sacked in 1990 for publicly criticising cuts to mental health and drug and alcohol services in the public health system. She then became aware for the first time that the term 'whistleblowing' applied to what had happened, found what was then a small body of research on the subject, and became involved in setting up the self-help organisation for whistleblowers now known as Whistleblowers Australia, and adding to the now very substantial body of research.
Jean was founding president of WBA, then vice-president, and is now president again. Since it was founded in mid 1991, WBA has become an influential and almost too respectable body, lobbying for a better deal for whistleblowers - that is, for employers, public and private, to stop shooting the messenger. She has also become aware, from information from the hundreds of whistleblowers who have contacted WBA over the years, that Australia is in deep trouble from widespread corruption, especially in our law-enforcement agencies; also at all levels of our legal system, aided and abetted, regrettably, by some members of her own profession.

It is bad enough to suffer an injury at work, or the savage retribution routinely meted out to whistleblowers. But as is well known in whistleblowing circles, if the injured person then tries to obtain redress through the ‘justice’ system, they are likely to suffer further injury from the system itself- in some cases, more severe and damaging than the original one. This is such a problem, at this stage so insurmountable to the great majority of would-be plaintiffs, that my routine advice to patients wanting to try litigation is basically - "Don’t". However many still do; some really have no choice but to try; some are caught up with ‘hired guns’ while still employed, forced by the threat of losing their jobs for refusing to obey a lawful order. (If you want to dispute that the order is in fact lawful, of course you end up in court anyway.)

Hired guns

Hired gun psychiatrists are covered in more detail in my chapter on bullying in medico-legal examinations, in ‘Bullying, from backyard to boardroom’ (ed. McCarthy, Sheehan and Wilkie, 1996). There are hired guns in other medical specialties, but they appear to be most frequent, and most vicious, in psychiatry - probably because, as a ‘soft’ science, lacking the hard evidence of X-rays and tissue examination, psychiatry is more open to opinions, no matter how outrageous.
This is unfortunate for the victims on two counts: firstly, a psychiatric diagnosis carries a severe stigma in our society, and however sane the victim may in fact be, some mud can be expected to stick, particularly among their enemies. It is thus an extremely effective way to discredit the victim together with their complaints, and supposedly confidential reports are commonly overtly or covertly circulated where they can do most damage. Secondly, a psychiatric examination, on a traumatic issue, is often traumatic in itself because the patient is compelled to relive the trauma. This is acceptable for the purpose of therapy, but purely for medico-legal purposes will almost inevitably add another injury to the psyche. If the psychiatrist is an abusive hired gun, and if the patient is forced by the system, as many are, to see a number of them, the additional injury can be severe. Also most whistleblowers, and many Workers’ Compensation claimants, do develop psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, for which they will need help, usually from a psychiatrist. If the trust necessary for an effective therapeutic relationship has been damaged or destroyed by a traumatic earlier encounter with a hired gun psychiatrist, the effect can be devastating, and a condition that should have been relatively easy to treat can become crippling.
The two main situations where hired guns are employed are in whistleblowing cases, when the employer wants to discredit and if possible get rid of the employee; and in Workers’ Compensation cases where the employee is claiming for a psychiatric injury, and the employer wants to avoid liability. Whistleblowers can, and commonly do, end up in both situations, after the victimisation and harassment they are subjected to at work in due course causes a major depressive illness. However there are important differences in the two situations, especially the ‘diagnosis’.

Hired guns in whistleblowing

In this situation the employer will want a diagnosis that ‘proves’ the whistleblower is a nut-case, rat-bag, and troublemaker; that the issues on which they have blown the whistle can therefore be safely ignored; and they can justifiably dismiss or medically retire the whistleblower. The diagnosis in that case is almost invariably a paranoid personality disorder (i.e. the whistleblower has been misinterpreting or imagining both the malpractice and/or corruption they complained about, together with the harassment and victimisation that almost invariably follow someone making such complaints). Occasionally the hired gun can stretch the diagnosis to a paranoid illness, such as paranoid schizophrenia. This is uncommon in Australia, where we don’t (yet) have the convenient diagnosis used in Soviet psychiatry to deal with dissidents there. ‘Creeping’ or ‘sluggish’ schizophrenia was an illness confined to the USSR, with no symptoms apart from the urge to dissent:
"The presence of sluggish schizophrenia does not presuppose noticeable personality changes and the absence of such symptoms does not prove the absence of the illness itself."
"The morbid process develops very slowly so that its other manifestations remain imperceptible. Diagnostic difficulties increase if the subject relates in a formally correct way to the environment."
However this lack of symptoms, coupled with ‘reformist ideas’, particularly if expressed with ‘an unshakeable conviction of his own rightness’ was enough to land dissidents in the nightmare of psychiatric prison hospital, indefinitely, or until the administration of overdoses of psychiatric drugs and other ‘treatment’ led to the ‘fading away of delirious conceptions’ - i.e. willingness under that duress to agree to toe the Party line.
In Australia, the diagnosis of paranoid personality disorder has some striking similarities. For this diagnosis to be valid, a patient must have exhibited symptoms throughout their adult life, and in all areas of it, not just at work. Most whistleblowers are well above average as employees, and until they blow the whistle have exemplary work records, as well as being unremarkable in their family and personal lives. That is, there is no evidence to support the diagnosis of a paranoid - or any other - pre-existing personality disorder, and of course thinking that you are being persecuted once you really are being victimised is not a sign of mental illness. But just as lack of evidence wasn’t a problem in the USSR, it often presents no problems here:
"There is no past history of personality difficulties which I am aware of and from a psychiatric point of view I cannot establish the presence throughout his life of personality traits which significantly affected his work or social life. This is not surprising given Mr W’s defensiveness and projection of all his difficulties onto the Department."
"I found Mr T. to be very cooperative in the interviews and to have a cheerful and pleasant manner. This contrasted with accounts given to me by others, mentioned above, that he can at times be very belligerent and uncooperative. It was easy to see that he would be able to present his viewpoints in a very plausible manner to people who were in relatively brief contact with him, or who did not seriously challenge his statements."
Hired guns here, like their Soviet counterparts, have problems with the whistleblower’s conviction of his own rightness:
"He has developed compulsive behaviour based on his own set of high moral values.....This type of personality could qualify as a reason for retirement on medical grounds. If this did occur, it would have to be forced on Mr V, as he can see nothing wrong with his personality and merely considers himself a person of high integrity."
And with their persistence in pursuing authorities to try to get action on their complaints....
"There is every reason to believe he will continue in his present litigious activities writing numerous letters to parliamentarians, ministers and the PM etc. He is quite insightless into his mental condition....." "There seems little doubt that in the last year what had been a highly valued idea by him, that is exposure of corruption in the SRA, has become an obsession in the sense that he both cannot and will not put it out of his mind..."
And at the ‘overestimation of himself’ that caused problems for Soviet psychiatrists: "He was very grandiose regarding his abilities as a quarantine officer......." "..he may in fact have a personality disorder. His personality traits are such as to produce grandiose and obsessive behaviour..."

Hired guns in Workers’ Compensation

In this situation the employee is usually claiming for post-traumatic stress disorder, and the hired gun’s task is to show that he/she does not or could not have such a condition, despite in some cases the precipitating event having been extraordinarily traumatic by normal standards, e.g. the Voyager disaster. More details of such reports can be found in the chapter in the ‘Bullying’ book referred to above. In these cases the hired gun, rather than bending over backwards to find symptoms of psychiatric illness where none exists as in whistleblowing cases, has to perform complicated mental gymnastics to show there is nothing wrong, however compelling the evidence that the plaintiff is genuinely ill.
If the patient shows signs that would normally be taken as symptoms of illness, the hired gun will interpret this as malingering. An example:
"The prominent feature at this interview was what I consider to be overacting. The appearance of great anguish was so excessive that I can only regard it as histrionic. It is my impression that [his complaints] are manufactured for the purposes of elaborating upon what may have been a genuine disorder in the past.............In my opinion the state of the patient no longer meets the criteria of PTSD, but rather impresses me more as malingering hysteria......"
Or he will provoke the patient and interpret their response as indicating hostility rather than legitimate illness. An example:
Claimant’s account of the examination: "I found Dr X’s attitude from the start to be provocative and intimidating. He frequently smirked when I replied to his questions, and the whole interview with him was more in the nature of an interrogation. At a later stage of the interview Dr X sat me in a chair and asked me to hunch up my shoulders. [Dr X has no orthopaedic qualifications or expertise.] I indicated to him that I was in pain and that pushing down caused me pain. He asked me to hunch up my shoulders again and I refused. He pushed down on my shoulders hard."
Dr X’s report of that examination: "He was bristling with anger and hostility. Although diagnosed as suffering from major depression by Drs A and B, I have reservations about the diagnosis and note he failed to respond satisfactorily to any treatment prescribed....."
That patient subsequently killed himself, which would seem to indicate Drs A and B were right about his major depression. He was one of a series of suicides by patients who had been examined in this manner by Dr X, and while it would not be valid to say without further evidence that Dr X’s examinations helped to cause those deaths, it is self-evident that such abusive behaviour could hardly have helped. 

Characteristics of hired guns

It appears a disproportionate number are male, although this may be an artefact. (One female psychiatrist featured prominently in the recent series of articles in ‘The Australian’.) Regardless of gender, they are authoritarian, and in many cases seem to have a genuine dislike and distrust of people who are in conflict with authority, as if being in such a situation is evidence the patient must ipso facto be mad or bad. Most do forensic work most or all of the time, i.e. they do not have ongoing contact with patients; and they work only for employers and/or insurance companies, never for plaintiffs. Some make a lot of money. Unlike psychiatrists who cause other kinds of problems, they seem not to be prominent in medical politics, but nevertheless are enough a part of the establishment to avoid any action being taken against them by e.g. the College of Psychiatrists despite sometimes numerous complaints from victims and other psychiatrists. 

Tactics of hired guns

The conduct of a typical examination is clearly aimed at avoiding the possibility of developing any rapport or empathy with the patient - the reverse of a normal examination. The hired gun would no doubt deny that this is the intent, but it is hard to find any other explanation. The process usually starts with secret briefings from the employer, usually inaccurate and sometimes wildly misleading, which paint the patient as paranoid or impossible, and which the patient, unaware of their existence, has no chance to refute. The psychiatrist will refuse to accept written information offered by the patient, or to allow a support person into the interview; may arrive late with no explanation or apology; will not introduce himself or otherwise make any attempt at normal politeness or making the patient comfortable; will use distractions such as wandering round the room behind the patient, dropping noisy objects, or sitting with his feet up on the desk, eating his lunch. He will be hostile and adversarial in manner, sometimes yelling at the patient, accusing them of lying, and may be verbally abusive, trying to provoke an angry reaction which can then be used as ‘evidence’ of a personality disorder or malingering, depending what is required.
Other common tactics are to use a standard report that is already on their word-processor, the hired gun simply filling in the gaps. ‘Verballing’ patients is common, e.g. a throw-away, leading question at the end of the interview on the lines of supposing they must have some bitterness about what has happened then becomes the focus of the report. One notorious hired gun regularly uses a urine test for drugs, including prescribed drugs. The patient is asked what they are taking, and the psychiatrist then says in his report that what the patient claimed to be taking or not taking is contradicted by the test - additional ‘evidence’ that the patient is untruthful. Without a witness at the interview, or a tape-recording, there is no independent evidence of what the patient really did say.
There is however one thing that hired guns almost never do - try to check the patient’s information with other, independent, sources. Indeed I think it safe to say that someone who makes such an effort is not a hired gun. 

Compliant courts

The over-riding problems with our courts are the adversarial system, which seems designed to hide rather than search for the truth; and presiding judges and magistrates who might as well not be there, for all the good most do in keeping proceedings and participants on the rails. I will not be making suggestions for overall reform of the court system, since Evan Whitton will no doubt be covering that. I will just outline some of the problems. An enormous problem with the whole legal system is the lack of ethics of most legal practitioners, as shown by countless examples of corruption in the system, and the almost complete absence of lawyers prepared to blow the whistle on it. Other people can and do - police for example, often at enormous personal risk - but lawyers almost never.
Before a plaintiff gets to a court hearing, they have to cope with their own lawyers’ incompetence and procrastination. Few lawyers seem to have even basic competence in this area, a major problem being that their training removes any previous tendencies to be goal-directed, so they become entirely process-directed. (Billing by the hour of course encourages this.) Where they are going to end up, and when, seems not to be their concern. And because so many cases in the end are settled (often very badly) out of court, most can’t get motivated to prepare a case until the day before the hearing if you’re lucky, and often not until the day itself. These problems, and lack of money, have led a number of whistleblowers to do a law degree themselves as the only means of finding an ethical and reliable lawyer, and many more to represent themselves without any qualifications - when they seem to do rather better than most whistleblowers with lawyers. Certainly no worse.
Plaintiffs then have to cope with the tactics of large organisations with money, who can and do use the legal processes to exhaust the plaintiffs’ emotional and financial resources, until they are forced to give up and go away, or to settle, usually badly, just before a definitive hearing that could have set a precedent for other victims. The Westpac letters, and the Justice Callinan issue, are examples of what is widespread and accepted practice. I have yet to hear of a judge taking any action - or even saying anything - about these blatant delaying and other tactics. They seem quite happy to preside over an abusive process that also, most conveniently, keeps matters of great public interest ‘sub-judice’ and safe from public scrutiny until they are no longer news.
Plaintiffs also have to cope with their lawyers’ tendency to play for the other side - throwing cases, withdrawing from them the day before they go to court, making deals, persuading bewildered victims to accept ruinously disadvantageous settlements, losing documents, leaking information to the other side etc etc etc. Reasons for this behaviour range from corrupt collusion to simply needing to clear a space in their diary; and of course collecting brownie points for their career.
Plaintiffs also have to cope with the vagaries of the system, and its tendency to compliance with the political and other needs of the day. Name and detail suppression vary with the climate. A whole case in NSW involving a worker in a Minister’s office was suppressed until after the last state election. One wonders how this could possibly be legally necessary, however convenient politically. In the ‘Marsden case’, where Channel 7 is being sued over allegations on the ‘Witness’ program of underage sex the judge refused to suppress the (male) witnesses’ names. Had the witnesses been female I feel that would have been what ‘Yes, Minister’ calls a courageous decision. There is also great reluctance to deal with or even acknowledge some very odd occurrences in and around the system - crucial dates in court records obviously and clumsily altered with white-out; blatant interference with witnesses; disappearing documents; and mysteriously reappearing fire-arms. Judges don’t seem to want to know about such matters. No doubt some are in on the deals, whatever they may be, but I suspect that most are simply reluctant to rock the boat. The needs of justice, and the community, take second place to the desire for a quiet life.
Once in court, plaintiffs face major problems with bullying - an integral part of the adversarial system. Compliant judges make no attempt to see fair play, as vulnerable plaintiffs are bullied by opposing counsel, cross-examined for days on end, about anything at all, no matter how repetitive or irrelevant, regardless of their state of health - often until they collapse and have to give up the case. Whether the plaintiff has suffered a brain injury that is the subject of the case, or is intellectually disabled, psychiatrically or physically ill, or a child, seems to make no difference - judges still sit there and allow this to happen. In one serious instance in NSW, a heavily-pregnant ex-police officer who had blown the whistle on a number of corrupt colleagues testified before the Police Royal Commission. Her evidence lasted one day, justifying, one would think, half a day of cross-examination on what she had said. She was then repetitively cross-examined as to ‘her credit’ (i.e. her entire life history) by a series of lawyers representing each of the police she had named. This had been going on for four days, with no end in sight, when she collapsed in the court, and went into premature labour, having developed pneumonia and septicaemia. The baby, also suffering from septicaemia, was grossly premature, and is seriously and permanently disabled as a result.
The legal system, albeit somewhat reluctantly, does recognise the existence of psychiatric injury, and that it may be legitimate grounds for the award of damages. Many lawyers make profitable careers in this area. Yet psychiatric injuries are inflicted by our court system every day - negligently, and sometimes wilfully as a deliberate strategy - and no-one is ever held accountable. Battered plaintiffs can’t get an AVO against bullying barristers; and can’t sue a judge for neglect of his duty of care to a vulnerable person with a disability. I hesitate to suggest more grist for the dysfunctional legal mill, but perhaps such actions should become a reality?

Suggestions for reform

Psychiatric examinations of workers can be justified in some circumstances. Workers, like anyone else, can really become mentally ill, and if this is affecting their work performance, or colleagues are genuinely concerned about them, it is useful to all concerned - especially the patient - if there is a mechanism for dealing with it. An effective and ethical mechanism will also avoid the problem of hired guns. The essentials are:

• the worker can be required, as a condition of continued employment, to have a psychiatric or other medical assessment
• the worker then sees a doctor of their choice. If they see a psychiatrist, they should be referred by their GP in the normal way
• the employer can supply information to the patient’s GP/psychiatrist if they think it necessary, but this information must be made available to the patient
• the psychiatrist should report on the diagnosis and necessary treatment, if any, to the patient’s GP in the normal way. The only report to the employer should be a certificate of fitness or unfitness for work.

Psychiatric examinations of plaintiffs can also be justified in some circumstances, notably where the claim is one of psychiatric injury. Where the claim is physical, and malingering is suspected, my own view is that covert surveillance etc is far more appropriate than psychiatry. For psychiatric claims, the essentials can be divided into the immediately and easily possible, and the ultimately desirable but more difficult:

• plaintiffs must have a choice of psychiatrist, usually from a list provided by the insurance company
• plaintiffs must be informed by the insurance company that they have the right to take a support person to the interview, and that it is to their advantage to do so
• the psychiatrist must agree to allow a support person to accompany the plaintiff, and/or allow the interview to be recorded
• rudeness and abusive behaviour by a psychiatrist towards a plaintiff with a possible psychiatric injury must lead to his removal from the insurance company’s list
• all psychiatric reports on a patient must be disclosed to the other side

The above measures would prevent most of the abuses. However, the ultimate aim must be to avoid ‘cash for comment’ pressures by making the court, rather than either or both sides, responsible for obtaining the necessary report. Again there should be a panel of doctors, with the plaintiff able to choose. The advantages and savings of time, money and trauma are so obvious, it is equally obvious that only a very powerful set of vested interests could keep the system going as it is.

Interesting reading sent to my facebook

my name is alex christianopoulos I am a victim of major police corruption some of my police operations ive been on included tony mokbel australias largest underworld crime figure called a drug lord by the media I have been fighting for justice for 14 years my story starts in 1999 and continues now I am anonymous

i am a victim of a police protection property extortion racket with my property worth 1.8 million dollars being attempted to be stolen of me

jamie johnson my building company partner in 1999 was dishonest in running our buisness which i allowed him to do because my mother was dying ,my girlfreind had severe mental illness issues very suicidal at the time and my sons mother had personal problems so i had to take full time care for my son as well.Jamie johnson i had set him up so well in our buisness he had no money and just come out of bankruptcy you have no idea how much i did for him i expected freindship loyalty and trust from him instead he fed me to the lions and even tried to murder me to steal these 2 properties of me and put me in jail facing the most corrupt police operations you can imagine where you dont have to break a law to go to jail.Jamie johnson has freinds in high places in the western australian police force and they are very corrupt to say the least for they are responsible for most of the things that happened to me

Bentley hospital when I whistleblew my corruption with the police and my properties involving Jamie Johnson and the police became a big part of my life in 2006 january

whistleblowing on the corruption and jamie johnson and the police started what is called dissent by medical record which means when police corrupt a psychiatrist to give a false diagnosis of mental illness to discredit whistleblowing

western Australia police been rated as the most corrupt in the country and I believe it with what ive experienced

i  had just put to jamie johnson in 2005 october for the first time i hadnt spoken to him for years .I contacted jamie by phone and put to him his involvement and the western australian police force involvement in the extortion over my proprerties with his police officer freind george loverock being the main player.                                              

• 

  because I had blown the whistle on the corruption to Jamie Johnson he wrote offer I could have my properties back at no cost but then he reneged on this offer he had shat himself during the phone conversation and then corrupt psychiatry was to enter my world to bury the corruption truth in my world

  police used the tool to bury corruption this is used by corrupt police all over the world there are case studies from all parts of the the world the police even use it on there own police whistleblowers as one case happened to a new York cop
• 

  this happened to me I was put into a straight jacket and rushed to padded cell by about 13 staff members for refusing to take medication

  I n the padded cell I was held down with staff having there whole body weight on me and I was offered to take my medication now or they will give me an injection it was very barbaric and evil very inhumane felt like I had no rights and wasn't a human being
• 

  and then Bentley hospital gave me a number my number is k4346307 it was like I had no feelings anymore and was a piece of meet

  I had not done anything wrong I had just spoke up about the police extortion racket I was a victim of and my property dispute which involved Jamie Johnson and definatley the western Australian police

police realised with the offer that jamie made to give back the houses to me at no cost in actual fact was jamie johnson surrendering $900,000 dollars cause i said him and the police with his freiend george loverock were extorting me over the property was making them look very bad so western australian police turned to corrupt psychiatry to bury the corruption truth for them

I was in amongst patients that looked liked this we were in a locked ward with little to do arguments broke out everywhere between patients and staff people were sleeping in hallways under tables one girl started masturbating in front of everyone watching tv ,I seen a patient have a huge fight and destroy a phone booth that patients use but I was treated as the most dangerous patient and I have no history of violence or weapons nothing.what I realised as time went on why I was considered so dangerous is what I knew about the police and western Australian government corruption

since 2006 january i have been forced drugged which makes me  feel like absolute shit everyday the drugs made me sexualy disfunctional which means i cant have sex unless i use viagra and other stimulates .The medication takes away any drive to do anything and i am given injections monthly so there is no way around it.After receiving my injection that first week i pretty much am in bed all week and dont move the second week i get a bit of movement happening and slowly build up .By the time i am almost ready for my injection again is the best i feel then it starts all over again.                                                                                              catching police informents or making complaints to police internal affairs my psychiatrist raises my medication as a form of torture as you can imagine what im feeling already becomes even worse.The psychiatrist at bentley hospital have no compassion or empathy for me they are goverment psychiatrist acting out what the goverment wants for me and they simply are prepared to  do this to keep there jobs with no morals or care towards my feelings and my massive side affects to the drugs they are giving me even though they dont take away what they call my delusions which is actualy real corruption.                                                                                     The hospital is only interested in the corrupt police version of the story i am not allowed to present damming evidence which prooves my case and witnesses and freinds presenting evidence or supporting my case are listened to as if they are delusional or what they have just spoken isnt even heard.The whole system and my situation is so corrupt i have captured my psychiatrist and a politician on two seperate occassion setting me up for two seperate admissions into mental instution i have this evidence recorded on my digital recorder but nobody wants to listen.Some nursing staff are very alarmed with my situation and very aware that i am not ill but to scared to speak out and go against my psychiatrist diagnosis in fear of reprisals from the hospital or loss of there jobs its a very sad situation to be in not just for me but there are others out there i find them searching the internet

Bentley hospital isn't in as bad a condition as this picture but the feeling that you get from this picture is the same from inside Bentley hospital locked ward inside its a feeling of lost souls desperation wounded hearts and minds lost for ever never to return patients walk around the ward so drugged up they walk like zombies patients that are making recoveries are generally patients that are being drugged less my visitors that visited me at times when I was drugged to the eyeballs had thought I had lost my mind then realized later it was the amount of the drugs the hospital had pumped into me which was the reason for my condition foaming at the mouth etc for one of an example

please support me and my family and freinds with my fight for justice we are picking up supporters everywhere and finding other victims with similar stories to mine

this is exactly how I feel and how the government wants you to feel about me its absolutely ludercis

please veiw these pages that i am writing and leave comments if you want to join my fight we welcome you with open arms .Tell your family freinds work collegues anybody about my story we want the numbers to grow dramaticly to give me a voice leave strong comments if thats what you feel even contact bentley hospital yourself please if you walk past injustice dont expect justice later on its as simple as that thank you alex christianopoulos and family

this message is so true please don't leave me locked up inside this mental institution to rot I have a dream and that is to have the rights that others enjoy I want a voice that gets listened to and I have a body that I don't want to be held prisoner to by my mind because of the mind boggling drugs they got me on and I have sexual organs that I want to use not embarrass me and hold me back from human interactions that we all take for granted please people give me back what I had before I spoke out for me and the community on corruption

Kind regards alex christianopoulos and family including my pets the one sitting next to me the police attempted to murder caught the police in the act had his stomach pumped and his brothers pup murdered by the same police officer we are all counting on you the public for your support our lives literally depend on it

Courts in Australia

I have some knowledge of  the courts recommending taking drivers licences from anyone who uses the excuse of mental illness and the legal drugs to lessen there sentence. Its funny to see the about turn when they think they are going to lose there driving licence.

Here is a few diseases that the DSM missed

Respect
honour
Love
hate
Truthfulness
ego
exaggeration
There is many more that can be placed in the DSM to medicate the masses.
Anyone who is placed on the psychotic drugs must have there driving licence suspended until they are told by a second doctor that they are fit to drive. Police must be told when someone is placed on these drugs as a precaution to stop injury to other road users..Health Insurance companies must be made to tell the authorities of the use of psychotic drugs as well.
How many deaths can be attributed to prescription drugs? The answer is they don't know.
Prescription drugs must mean zero motor vehicle licence for the duration of the script.
How would this change the system, my guess is less use of drugs overall. This must be a good thing..

Lets stimulate the brain

Small amounts of serotonin can have remarkable results in the brain . I am talking in the amounts in quantities a thousand times smaller than 1 mg.
I have found a video on the subject here.

I am not advocating the removal of all medication but to reduce the amount to sustainable levels where normal activities can be performed. Lets try the less is better for a while knowing that people, doctors included try to out do each other or exaggerate any story that they are told.

I feel bloated and have had a drink of warm water and a 1/4 spoon of bi carb soda. I also added half a spoon of garlic from a bottle. it is now 1.30 pm.

Treatment for drug use. High pressure oxygen treatment.

 Any drug can be removed with this treatment
The best way to remove drugs from ones system would be in a hyperbaric unit (Decompression Chamber)  at one hundred feet on straight oxygen for say 2 hours, Five minutes on oxygen five minutes off straight oxygen for the two hours. Repeat as necessary.

Glyconutrients Q & A Part 3

Q. I am a medical doctor who just stumbled upon your webpage regarding glyconutrients, having failed to find any information on Medline that was of any use. I have a young patient with end-stage, metastatic neuroblastoma and her mother is (understandably) desperate to try anything that offers even a whisper of promise to save her child’s life. She mentioned glyconutrients as an option, so I decided to look into it. I found the same glyconutrient information you did, namely not much at all. A couple of in vitro studies and a lot of sales hype. Thank you for posting a webpage with an honest perspective on the glyconutrient craze. Seeing as how so many people do their "research" on the internet, it is important to have objective assessments out there as well.

A. No one has responded to provide a human study with Mannatech glyconutrients and its cure of a disease. I am skeptical of case histories with glyconutrients since this a multi level marketing scheme and there are tons of distributors who are likely to make up fake testimonials as opposed to a supplement that is not distributed in a multi level marketing way. We update this page on glyconutrients on a regular basis.

Q. I am not connected in anyway with Mannatech, nor do I yet use their glyconutrient products, however, in my research on the internet, specifically on MIT's site, I find all of the monosaccharides that Mannatech claims active use in their glyconutrient products, are being studied at great length by MIT. Is you web page on Glyconutrients inconsistent with the studies being done by MIT in these areas of sugars interactions with proteins on the cellular levels.

A. Our web page does not say that sugars attached to other molecules are harmful or beneficial. It just says that the term glyconutrients is not a necessary term, it was made up by a MLM company and I look forward to research on various sugars and sugar-related substances and their potential benefit or harm.

Comment 1: Dear Doctor: I am a medical doctor and thought you may be interested in some updated information on Mannatech and glyconutrient. It is an article, "Pill Cure Claims Draw Investigation By State: Mannatech Accused of Failing to Prove Sugar Pills Can Remedy Various Diseases" RedNova Sun, 29 Oct 2006 By Leigh Hopper, Houston Chronicle Oct. 29 - "Mannatech, a Dallas-area company that sells sugar pills touted to cure cancer, Down syndrome and a panoply of other conditions, is under investigation by the Texas Attorney General's Office for possible deceptive trade practices".

Comment 2: After being diagnosed with a fatty liver from long-term antibiotic use, a friend of my mine gave me a CD with testimonials etc., on glyconutrients. My gut instinct told me to be skeptical and I searched on the internet for glyconutrient studies, of many of which are confusing and MASKED by Mannotech!!! Thank you so much for sifting through this "junk" for us patients!!! From Michigan. P.S. Since I'm on supplements for my liver, I am now subscribing to your newsletter to help me use these supplements wisely!

Comment 3: I recently read your comment online regarding glyconutrient. Since it isn't dated I was wondering if you ever received a response to your questions? Do you still have the same opinion now toward glyconutrients? What comments do you have for the people it has helped? mere coincidence? I'm still on the fence about it. I value your opinion. My own research on gylconutrients gets clouded by information Mannatech is linked to. I don't necessarily like the whole MLM way of promoting a product and am skeptical. However, I feel the pharmaceutical industry can be equally "shady" and irrisponsible with what they produce, promote & advertise.

Glyconutrients And Perception, Cognition And Memory

Neuropsychological tests were administered to 62 college students to assess the influence of glyconutrients on perception, cognition and memory in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, counterbalanced studies. Participants were given both a glyconutritional supplement and a control substance prior to testing.

In Exp. 1. A Same-Different visual discrimination task, Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices, and the Stroop test were administered.

In Exp. 2, Simple and complex working-memory capacity were measured.

Participants receiving the supplement performed significantly more accurately on the visual discrimination task and the first session of the simple working-memory test.

Comments: There are dozens of inexpensive and easily available over the counter herbs and nutrients that influence memory and mental abilities. Examples include acetyl l carnitine, ginkgo biloba, DMAE, choline, cdp-choline, vinpocetine, fish oils, certain B vitamins, etc. One could easily use these or others and most will be less expensive than glyconutrients.

Glyconutrients Research

Glyconutrients Research Information

Previous studies have shown that mannosylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA) enhances the respiratory burst (RB), phagocytosis, and killing of Candida albicans and Escherichia coli by resident murine peritoneal macrophages (Mphi). Upregulation of the above Mphi functions was associated with the binding of mBSA to the macrophage mannose receptor. The present study was done to determine if certain glyconutrients could stimulate Mphi functions in a similar manner. Resident peritoneal murine Mphi collected from C57BL/6 mice were exposed to the glyconutrients for 10 and 60 min. The RB was measured using chemiluminescence.

Both phagocytosis and killing were measured after incubation with each of the following microorganisms: Candida albicans, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The percent phagocytosis and killing were determined using fluorescence microscopy. Results indicated that certain glyconutrients, caused a dose and time dependent effect on Mphi-induced killing of all three microorganisms.

We received this email from someone who read the study listed below and had a comment about it: "I was reading on your website about the use of glyconutrients and saw research update where you listed Dr. See's research at UC Irvine. I just want to inform you that Mannatech is using a study supposedly performed at UC Irvine and partially funded by NIH, which is untrue. Just thought you should update your report on "glyconutrients" because it appears on your website that this is a valid study (albeit in a test tube), but in reality it's just more Mannatech propoganda. Mannatech apparently paid Dr. See more than $100,000 to speak at sale rallies and conduct research, and his wife has been a Mannatech distributor since 1997. Thanks for the work you do! See the link below for the thorough report on this fraud: http://www.caic.org.au/commercial/Mannatech/manna-uses%20study.htm. Study was debunked, Mannatech suing Dr. See: caic.org.au/commercial/Mannatech/manna-misled.htm".

A good article on Glyconutrients and Mannatech

This is a quote from a September 2006 newspaper article on glyconutrients written by Denny Robbins for the Star-Telegram: "These and other issues have caused outrage among some advocacy groups and brought scrutiny from at least two state attorneys general, a class-action lawsuit and questions from some of the world's pre-eminent scientists. "My blood boils when I think about all the desperate people who have taken this stuff on," said Hudson Freeze, a professor of glycobiology at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research in La Jolla, Calif.

Glyconutrients Q&A Part 2

Q. If you were referring people to a website that sold glyconutrients, don't you think you would say good things about a glyconutrient product?
A. I could easily refer people to a website that sold a glyconutrient product and say good things about Mannatech glyconutrients on this page and get a referral commission. But since I don't have any proof that they treat or cure a disease or are any better than other sugar related supplements that are cheaper, no amount of money would influence my opinion.
Q. Hi Dr. Sahelian: I stand with you in your comments on glyconutrients. I had some patients that began to ask me questions. However, what I have found were the two studies you've found plus one dissertation http://gradworks.umi.com/31/84/3184894.html. Glyconutrients and cognition, perception, and memory by Stancil, Atiya Njeri, PhD, HOWARD UNIVERSITY, 2005, 55 pages; 3184894
I don't believe the dissertation has been published yet. I briefly read through the papers presented in the glyconutrition science website http://www.glycoscience.org/glycoscience/summary_display.wm?SECTION=MAIN&MAIN=productSpecific&CRITERIA=productSpecific. http://www.glycoscience.org/glycoscience/summary_display.wm?SECTION=MAIN&MAIN=productSpecific&CRITERIA=productSpecific> and http://www.avantrex.com/resources/Sweet2003-3.html. These are all sponsored by Mannatech and other pharmaceutical companies. They look promising, but I am like you, I would like to see the publications in the mainstream scientific journals.

Q. Dear Doctor: I am a retired medical doctor and read your web page on glyconutrient with great interest and have several comments that you may find helpful. If you look at the compositions of these glyconutrients (gum tragacanth, gum ghatti, arabinogalactan, aloe vera gel polysaccharides) you will note they are gums and fibers. These plant polysaccharides are soluble fiber and are not digestible. Therefore, their sugars could never be released and absorbed by the body. These fiber are destined to be fermented by the colonic bacteria in the gut where they are used as nutrients to make more bacteria. No study has ever shown that the human body absorbs sugars from a diet of fiber. Mannatech makes the sugars appear to be necessary and also essential by telling people they are no longer in the modern diet.
The truth is that these glycontutrient sugars can be obtained in the modern diet from the glycoforms that cover every cells, but these sugars are most likely made by the body from other sugars. They say these glycontutrient sugars are needed for optimal health. There has never been a study that shows taking more of these sugars has any health maintaining purpose. Mannatech brandishes every piece of scientific literature on glycoscience and glycomics as validating their product when in fact these paper have absolutely nothing to do with their glycontutrient product. This is a flagrant, although clever and deceptive, example of falsely misleading the consumer. It certainly puts a black mark on the otherwise legitimate dietary supplement industry and needs to be addressed.
Q. Hello Doctor. Below is part of an email that I recently received from a friend. My guess is that my friend is going to start selling this Ambrotose. It sure looks like a marketing scam (and a bunch of lies) to me. I did email your glyconutrient website link to her. This is what she had emailed me, "Hey I really want to talk to you about this new technology that I am promoting. Father Derrick is on this new wellness program I introduced him to, and he is very pleased. It is tops in the WORLD. Everyone on the planet will want it. It is a new discovery called Ambrotose. It is the discovery by a doctor who found that there are 8 essential sugars ( glyconutrients ) that help the body heal itself naturally plus more. It is outstanding discovery.
He has won three Nobel prizes, the glyconutrient product is patented in 20 countries, his wife is feeding it to the malnourish children in third world countries. she has reached 10,000 so far. they have a new life filled with hope and promise now. Use the stock market as a measure stick if you so wish...stocks are going higher and higher and higher. there is no limit. this is going to be the end of outrageous doctors cost, hospitalization, medication. People are going to take control back of their health - if they so choose it. Glyconutrients are another one of God's miracles in nature. It is a miracle the way the body does this. It is about cell to cell communication, and how they heal themselves with this Ambrotose. Pay attention....it is here... Look forward to hearing from you soon...
Q. Hi and thanks for allowing me to ask you all a question regarding Glyconutrition. First do you sell a glyconutrient product, and secondly, is a glyconutrient supplement safe to take orally? With all the different ingredients in Glyconutrients I'm concerned about it's safety record, especially with long-term use, as well as it's effectiveness.
A. Since we mention that there have been no disease treatment human studies with Mannatech glyconutrients that we are aware of, we can't say if they are effective or not. Also, we do not know the long term health consequences of a glyconutrient supplement, positive or negative.

Glyconutrients Q&A Part 1

Q. I read your article and now I am more confused than ever. I have listened to a CD with Dr Dan Fouts, Dr Alex Omelchuk and Dr Michael Schlachter (all MD's) who claim that there has been much written on glyconutrients. Not only has research been done but they are using it in their practices. New Sun bottles a product called Salmana, that product is suppose to be good for just about everything. Are these Doctors telling the truth or just digging deeper into there research?



A. For the time being, I stand by my comments above. If there are human studies with Mannatech glyconutrients that these products treat or cure a particular disease, I am not aware of them.

Q. I just found out about Ambrotose. I bought some for a friend with Hep B. I went to the sales rep's site www.glyco-facts.com. It sounds very convincing, especially with the AMA backing.  Then, I find your article on glyconutrients ...I am confused! Would you visit the www.glco-facts.com and read what is there...am I being taken? I kinda feel like I am.

A. We generally don't comment on information posted on other web sites only to say that we stand by the glyconutrient info on our site. It is for the consumer to judge the integrity of the info they read on the internet or in print. We have had this glyconutrient web page on for several years requesting anyone who has a published study on Mannatech glyconutrient research to email it to us, and all we get is sales people sending us email on testimonials that most likely they have made up claiming that glyconutrients are a cure all. We're still waiting for even one good human study on Mannatech glyconutrients in terms of treating a disease. At this time there is no evidence that Mannatech glyconutrient supplements help with cancer, lupus, heart disease, myasthenia gravis, hepatitis, fibromyalgia, cystic fibrosis, or anything else.

Q. I read your comment about glyconutrients, and would like to tell you that you can get continuing medical education approved by the AMA by going to Proevity dot com/homepage.html. If you would like to buy syllabi on different disease states please go to FisherInstitute dot org. Dr. Omelchuck & others you named on your explanation of you didn't find studies on glyconutrients with people, is a real person I've heard several times, along with Dr. Dan Fouts etc. On Satudays at noon EST there is a free "chat" that only requires anyone to put in any name to join it. The author of chapter 56, Harper's Biochemistry Medical Textbook year 1996, examined Mannatech's science & joined the "Editorial Board." He also has spoken to us who have had their life turn around by taking core nutrients that aren't in our food chain, or very scarcely & extemely hard to find. You can download a free powerpoint presentation of Dr. Robert Murray's by going to DoctorsHealthCall dot com & clicking on "past speakers." It's further down the page. I do guess you've seen GlycoScience dot org? I wish you the best, a Mannatecher who has been relieved of deep pains, a back that had me in the ER, lost >70 lbs {phytogenins}, and other wonderful things.

A. I'm still waiting for human glyconutrients study before making any definitive comments.
