Thanks to all of your efforts, including emails, calls, and visits the Mental Health Parity bill that would have forced insurance carriers to cover all 374 mental disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), literally opening the door to anyone being labeled with a mental disorder and drugged, was defeated. It was extremely important that this bill be stopped, as there should be no parity of insurance coverage when there is no parity of diagnoses. The fact is, unlike real medical conditions which can be verified by a scientific/medical procedure, there are no blood tests, brain scans, chemical imbalance tests, X-Rays, etc. that can prove any psychiatric disorder is a disease or illness, yet millions are needlessly drugged due to this junk science. With commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs now acknowledged by international drug regulators as causing suicide, mania, homicidal ideation, psychosis, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and sudden death (20 warnings this year alone), you can see why defeating Mental Health Parity was so important. Under the guise of “helping” people, this bill was designed only to benefit those with a vested interest in hooking millions more Americans on drugs.
People deserve real solutions and real medical help, not junk science and vested interests looking to shove more drugs down their throats. Thanks to your efforts, they may find there are safer alternatives than the psychiatric/pharmaceutical cartel would have them believe.

Here is an interesting look at the comparisons between the “Drug the symptoms” cartel in the black hats and the “Eat well to stay healthy” guys in the white hats… Update 115 July 2024 link no longer valid.
Ground-breaking study links food additives to hyperactivity in children
Julie and I observed this about 20 years ago with our own children. And we weren’t alone even then! Nice to see the medical mainstream catching up with parental observation! We used to tell the story of how little you wound up with in your shopping trolley if you did not add anything that had a food colouring or preservative. Update 15 July 2024 Link no longer valid.
