Inleiding
Ik heb me steeds afgevraagd waarom een psychiater WEL psychedelische medicatie voor mag schrijven, gebaseerd op wat verkooppraatjes van één of andere mooie 'ma dam' verkoopster, erop uitgestuurd door de farmaceutische industrie! Een psychiater is iemand die niets kent en niets weet! Dat is dubbel op! Er is geen enkele psychiater die zijn waardeloze kretologie KAN bewijzen. Niet met röntgen, sonar of bloedonder zoek! Ze zijn gewoon een stelletje overbetaalde psychologen en weten even veel als deze mensen. En, dat is ook niet veel! Dopamine is zo'n waardeloze kreet. Zit NIET in het bloed! Dus, BESTAAT niet! Ik schrijf deze 'verhandeling' omdat onnozele Belgische wettenmakers VERPLICHT psychiatrische patiënten van ons willen maken. De verkeerswet is op een zodanige wijze uitgebreid dat iedereen die twee maal een zware overtreding begaat VER PLICHT naar de psychiater moet OF hij krijgt zijn rijbewijs niet terug! ALS DIT GEEN FASCISTISCHE MANIPULATIE VOOR AFGEDWONGEN GEHOORZAAM HEID EN TOTALE CONTROLE IS, hoe noemt u het dan? Daarom is het opportuun eens een keer wat neer te schrijven over hetgeen psychiatri sche middelen allemaal veroorzaken. Indien u het vorige boek hebt gelezen dat weet u hoe van onze zijde uit over regering, banken en wetenschappers wordt gedacht. Dat zal niet veranderen. De artsenij is verwerpelijk en het is al meerdere malen bewezen dat juist VACCINA TIES autismespectrumstoornissen veroorzaken EN dat het juist GEEN psychiatrische aandoeningen zijn maar NEUROLOGISCHE afwijkingen! Dat is dus fout nummer 1, voortgebracht door hun PR campagnes, om iedereen het 'algemene weten' op te drin gen. U kunt hier al iets meer leren over psychiatrie! En hier ook! Elke moord en zelfmoord wordt onderzocht door forensische specialisten. Tijdens zo'n onderzoek wordt ook het medicijnkastje aan een zorgvuldige inspectie onderworpen. Alle medicatie die werd gebruikt wordt nauwlettend beschreven en bewaard. Vergeet dus eeuwig dat de staat niet weet welke psychiatrische middelen de oorzaak zijn voor moord en zelfmoord. Alles wordt DIEP begraven! Niemand mag het weten, dus daar voor moeten we eens gaan buurten in andere landen waar dit wel wordt gepubliceerd. 2
Een geheimzinnige dood
Op 4 januari 2013 komt de befaamde Amerikaanse wapenmaker, John Noveske, om tijdens een meer dan mysterieus auto ongeval. Normaal zou dit ongeval aan ieders aandacht zijn ontsnapt, zij het niet dat juist deze man in de week voor zijn ongeval een uitgebreid en gedetailleerd bericht had gepost op zijn Facebook pagina. Hierin legt hij naadloos het verband tussen psychiatrische middelen en ALLE schietpartijen op scho len doorheen Amerika!

Neal Furrow (Prozac) in LA Jewish school shooting reported to have been courtorde red to be on Prozac along with several other medications. Kevin Rider, age 14, was withdrawing from Prozac when he died from a gunshot wound to his head. Initially it was ruled a suicide, but two years later, the investigati on into his death was opened as a possible homicide. The prime suspect, also age 14, had been taking Zoloft and other SSRI antidepressants. Alex Kim, age 13, hung himself shortly after his Lexapro prescription had been doub 4
led. Diane Routhier was prescribed Welbutrin for gallstone problems. Six days later, after suffering many adverse effects of the drug, she shot herself.

Woody ____, age 37, committed suicide while in his 5th week of taking Zoloft. Shortly before his death his physician suggested doubling the dose of the drug. He had seen his physician only for insomnia. He had never been depressed, nor did he have any history of any mental illness symptoms. A boy from Houston, age 10, shot and killed his father after his Prozac dosage was in creased. Hammad Memon, age 15, shot and killed a fellow middle school student. He had been diagnosed with ADHD and depression and was taking Zoloft and "other drugs for the conditions."

Steven Kazmierczak, age 27, shot and killed five people and wounded 21 others before killing himself in a Northern Illinois University auditorium. According to his gir lfriend, he had recently been taking Prozac, Xanax and Ambien. Toxicology results showed that he still had trace amounts of Xanax in his system. Finnish gunman PekkaEric Auvinen, age 18, had been taking antidepressants before he killed eight people and wounded a dozen more at Jokela High School – then he com mitted suicide. Asa Coon from Cleveland, age 14, shot and wounded four before taking his own life. Court records show Coon was on Trazodone. Jon Romano, age 16, on medication for depression, fired a shotgun at a teacher in his New York high school. 5
Tot zover Noveske zijn publicatie op Facebook. Een week erna is hij dood? U doet met deze informatie wat u wilt. Vertel me niet dat u het niet raar vindt. Als men gaat graven in dit soort informatie dan komt er ineens de Sandy Hook kwes tie omhoog waarin eveneens een aantal rariteiten het daglicht niet kunnen velen. 1. De site United Way Sandy Hooke donation support page op 11 december 2012 reeds werd aangemaakt en in de lucht was, terwijl de schietpartij op 14 decem ber uitbrak. 2. Dianne Feinstein had eveneens per direct een uitgebreide nieuwe wet klaar om te worden geïntroduceerd, de zogenaamde gun confiscation bill, ontzettend uit gebreid die per direct na de Sandy Hook schietpartij werd geïntroduceerd! 3. De schutter, Adam Lanza, zijn geweer nog in de auto aanwezig was, waardoor hij niet geschoten kan hebben. 4. De 'Bank of America' geen geld meer overmaakt naar een online wapenleveran cier direct na de schietpartij. 5. Facebook sloot honderden accounts af van prominente mensen die het tweede artikel van de Amerikaanse Grondwet, het befaamde Second Amendment, beju belden waarin staat dat iedere Amerikaan het recht heeft vuurwapens te heb ben EN te dragen! 6. Er zijn talloze opnames van politieradio's waarin te horen is dat er sprake was van meerdere schutters.

Zelfmoord, veroorzaakt door antidepressiva bij kinderen! Uitkomst van Dr. Arif Kahn zijn studie over alle zelfmoorden! Ja, er zijn werkelijk nog 11
psychiaters die hun ziel NIET aan de hoogst biedende hebben verkocht! Er zijn nog psychiaters die een geweten hebben. Er zijn nog psychiaters die zich NIET gedragen als een stelletje hoeren! Er zijn nog psychiaters die ruiterlijk toegeven dat ze geen DONDER KUNNEN BEWIJZEN en dat al hun kreten zijn gebaseerd op gebakken lucht. Film op youtube over de psychiatrische industrie der dood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF033IqrFqw Het verhaal over Zyprexa Vindt u het normaal dat er een psychedelisch middel op de markt komt dat in 80% van alle gevallen suikerziekte veroorzaakt? Dat zulk vergif wordt goedgekeurd? En dat ARTSEN dat dan ook nog voor beginnen schrijven ipv te boycotten? Kom mensen. Dat kunnen we toch niet laten gebeuren? In eerste instantie kan een psychiater geen don der bewijzen van zijn kretologie en op de koop toe gaat hij u behandelen met een mid del waar u echt ziek van wordt en waaraan sommigen zelfs sterven!
En hier is het bewijs dat artsen, professoren en universiteiten op de hoogte waren van de 'bijverschijnselen' die duidelijk door de farmaceutische wereld worden verdoezeld 12
voor iedereen die het voorschrijft. En het bedrijf zelf was ook op de hoogte van alle vergiftigingsverschijnselen.
Want ze hebben er duidelijk vele onderzoeken naar gedaan en ook de nodige moeite getroost om alles zoveel mogelijk te verdoezelen of er een mooi bakerpraatje omheen te fantaseren. Cijfers echter, liegen niet!
13
En of ze hun werk van de alvleesklier gemaakt hebben.
De onmogelijke bochten waar de farmacie zich in wringt om toch haar zin te krijgen. En, hoeveel het totaal heeft gekost, inclusief omkopingen etc., om alles goedgekeurd te krijgen is natuurlijk nergens gepubliceerd.
Dus elke diabetes patiënt is nu ook al een psychiatrisch patiënt????????? En zo staat het ganse onderzoek vol met LEUGENS om het 'geneesmiddel' goedgekeurd te krijgen. 14
Ik snap niet hoe overheidsinstanties zulk vergif blijven goedkeuren.
Sommige artsen zijn duidelijk sceptisch maar de grote hoop zal het zonder verpinken voorschrijven indien het maar wordt 'verkocht' door een mooie, goedgebekte madam! En, dan hebben we het nog niet gehad over de gewichtstoename, veroorzaakt door het 'geneesmiddel' dat ook suikerziekte, nierfalen en coma veroorzaakt. Wouw. Dat ruimt op, niet?
Ja, er zijn ook doden gevallen tijdens de medicatietesten. En, dat mag natuurlijk, zo lang het de spuigaten maar niet uitloopt. Het middel mag de patiënt niet in korte tijd 15
doden. En, dat is dan ook wel een van de voornaamste onderdelen waar door over heidsinstanties naar wordt gekeken. Vallen er niet teveel doden in de beginfase van de 'behandeling!'
En of ze weten dat hun 'geneesmiddel' van geen kanten deugt.
Ze moeten zelfs hun eigen staf overtuigen door te gaan om dit vergif op de markt te brengen! Zie hier de link voor wat meer informatie. Een ander artikel PSYCHIATRIC POPULATION CONTROL by Jon Rappoport JUNE 22, 2011. This article is being sent out as a press release to media outlets, indi cating that I'm available for interviews on the subject. If you would like to pitch in, feel free to distribute it far and wide. A recent development has highlighted the trend of authoritarian psychiatric invasions into everyday life. A new book has revealed that the diagnosis of "bipolar disease" among American child ren is a scientific fraud and a precursor to the administration of highly dangerous drugs. Psychiatrist Stuart Kaplan, a professor at Penn State College of Medicine, has written 16
an article for the June 20th issue of Newsweek, based on his book, YOUR CHILD DOES NOT HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER: HOW BAD SCIENCE AND GOOD PR CREATED THE DIAGNOSIS. Kaplan states that, in 1995, there were fewer than 20,000 outpatient visits for pedia tric bipolar disorder in the US. As of 2003, that number had swelled to a mindbog gling 800,000. And yet there is no recognized psychiatric category called "pediatric bipolar disorder." But the publication of a 2002 best seller, The Bipolar Child, followed by wall to wall media coverageOprah, Time, 20/20, Dan Rathertook the country by storm. Worse yet is the treatment regimen for children stemming from this false diagnosis. Two major drugs: Lithium and Valproate. Adverse effects of Valproate include: acute, lifethreatening, and even fatal liver toxicity; lifethreatening inflammation of the pancreas; brain damage. Adverse effects of Lithium include: intercranial pressure leading to blindness; peripheral circulatory collapse; stupor and coma. Bipolar disorder has been diagnosed in children as young as two. But this is not the first time an arbitrary psychiatric diagnosis has been made on children (or adults), then leading to the administration of highly dangerous drugs. Mr. Rappoport is prepared to speak extensively about ADHD and Ritalin, and depres sion and Prozac (Paxil, Zoloft). Those two scenarios are strikingly similar to pediatric bipolar disorder. Two vital facts: In the years 20062008, a staggering 7.6% of American children were diagnosed with ADHD. (Source: Pediatrics, May 23, 2011) 27 million Americans are taking antidepressants. (Source: Archivesof General Psy chiatry, 8/4/2009) In what sense is all this population control? When you move in on the mind and make
17
arbitrary diagnoses and follow up with highly toxic drugs, you are essentially waging war on the brain. These figures should indicate the scope of that everexpanding war. Call it profitseeking, call it pseudoscience, call it incompetence. There are many ways to frame the issue. But the effects are no different from what happens on a battlefield. Great and lasting damage. And professional ignorance is no excuse, because these facts are out in the open, for anyone to examine. Over the last 35 years, Jon Rappoport has gained a reputation as one of the most re lentless medical investigative reporters in the world. Nominated early in his career for a Pulitzer Prize, Jon has written for CBS Healthwatch, LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, and other newspapers and magizines in the US and Europe. His is currently the associate producer on a film in progress, American Addict, detailing the effects of pharmaceuticals on the US population. JON RAPPOPORT www.nomorefakenews.com

Robert Whitaker Interview From: http://www.counterpunch.org/levine04282010.html A Conversation with Robert Whitaker April 2010 The Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America By BRUCE E. LEVINE In 1987, prior to Prozac hitting the market and the current ubiquitous use of antide pressants and other psychiatric drugs, the U.S. mental illness disability rate was 1 in every 184 Americans, but by 2007 the mental illness disability rate had more than doubled to 1 in every 76 Americans. Robert Whitaker was curious as to what was cau sing this dramatic increase in mental illness disability. The answers are in his new book, Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America (Crown Publishers, April 2010). 18
Whitaker’s findings will create a problem for both Big Pharma and establishment psychiatry, but his credentials and his craftsmanship will make it difficult to margina lize him. Whitaker is the author of four books including Mad in America, about the mistreat ment of the mentally ill; and as a reporter for the Boston Globe, he won a George Polk Award for medical writing, a National Association of Science Writers Award for best magazine article, and was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. In the tradition of Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser, and other investigative reporters who get taken seriously, Whi taker is scrupulous, fair, and describes complex phenomena in a way that is easy to understand. Levine: So mental illness disability rates have doubled since 1987 and increa sed sixfold since 1955. And at the same time, psychiatric drug use greatly in creased in the 1950s and 1960s, then skyrocketed after 1988 when Prozac hit the market, so now antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs alone gross more than $25 billion annually in the U.S. But as you know, correlation isn’t causa tion. What makes you feel that the increase in psychiatric drug use is a big part of the reason for the increase in mental illness? Whitaker: The rise in the disability rate due to mental illness is simply the starting point for the book. The disability numbers don’t prove anything, but, given that this astonishing increase has occurred in lockstep with our society’s increased use of psy chiatric medications, the numbers do raise an obvious question. Could our drugbased paradigm of care, for some unforeseen reason, be fueling the increase in disability ra tes? And in order to investigate that question, you need to look at two things. First, do psychiatric medications alter the longterm course of mental disorders for the better, or for the worse? Do they increase the likelihood that a person will be able to function well over the longterm, or do they increase the likelihood that a person will end up on disability? Second, is it possible that a person with a mild disorder may have a bad re action to an initial drug, and that puts the person onto a path that can lead to long term disability. For instance, a person with a mild bout of depression may have a ma nic reaction to an antidepressant, and then is diagnosed with bipolar disorder and put on a cocktail of medications. Does that happen with any frequency? Could that be an iatrogenic [physiciancaused illness] pathway that is helping to fuel the increase in the disability rates? So that’s the starting point for the book. What I then did was look at what the scienti 19
fic literature — a literature that now extends over 50 years — has to say about those questions. And the literature is remarkably consistent in the story it tells. Although psychiatric medications may be effective over the short term, they increase the likeli hood that a person will become chronically ill over the long term. I was startled to see this picture emerge over and over again as I traced the longterm outcomes literature for schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and bipolar illness. In addition, the scientific li terature shows that many patients treated for a milder problem will worsen in respon se to a drug– say have a manic episode after taking an antidepressant — and that can lead to a new and more severe diagnosis like bipolar disorder. That is a welldocumen ted iatrogenic pathway that is helping to fuel the increase in the disability numbers. Now there may be various cultural factors contributing to the increase in the number of disabled mentally ill in our society. But the outcomes literature — and this really is a tragic story — clearly shows that our drugbased paradigm of care is a primary cau se. Levine: I have a clinical practice and I have seen several examples of what you are talking about, and I had previously read several of the scientific stu dies that you detail in Anatomy of an Epidemic, so I am not exactly a naïve reader. However, in reading your book and seeing the enormity of the pro blem and just how much overwhelming evidence there is for a horrible cri sis, I started getting a little sick to my stomach. I wonder, as you got into the research, did you start drawing comparisons to Rachel Carson and Silent Spring? Specifically, this is such a huge unnecessary tragedy, affecting seve ral million people including children, yet there is virtually no discussion of it in the mass media. Whitaker: A journalist friend of mine, who was a longtime reporter at the Washing ton Post and Newsday, said that he too was reminded of Silent Spring when he read Anatomy of an Epidemic. And, in fact, I was stunned by much of what I found when I was researching the book, and I did at times become overwhelmed by the magnitude of the tragedy. Let me give a specific example. When you research the rise of juvenile bipolar illness in this country, you see that it appears in lockstep with the prescribing of stimulants for ADHD and antidepressants for depression. Prior to the use of those medications, you find that researchers repor ted that manicdepressive illness, which is what bipolar illness was called at the time,
20
virtually never occurred in prepubertal children. But once psychiatrists started put ting “hyperactive” children on Ritalin, they started to see prepubertal children with manic symptoms. Same thing happened when psychiatrists started prescribing antide pressants to children and teenagers. A significant percentage had manic or hypomanic reactions to the antidepressants. Thus, we see these two iatrogenic pathways to a ju venile bipolar diagnosis documented in the medical literature. And then what happens to the children and teenagers who end up with this diagnosis? They are now put on heavierduty drugs and often on a drug cocktail, and you find that they do poorly on that treatment. You find that a high percentage end up “rapid cyclers,” which means they have severe “bipolar” symptoms, and that they can now be expected to be chroni cally ill throughout their lives. We also know that the atypical antipsychotics [such as Risperdal and Zyprexa] prescribed to bipolar children cause a host of physical pro blems, and there is pretty good evidence that they cause cognitive decline over the long term. When you add up all this information, you end up documenting a story of how the lives of hundreds of thousands of children in the United States have been de stroyed in this way. In fact, I think that the number of children and teenagers that have ended up “bipolar” after being treated with a stimulant or an antidepressant is now well over one million. This is a story of harm done on an unimaginable scale. So why hasn’t the media reported on this? The answer is that the media, when it co vers medicine, basically repeats the narrative fashioned by the academic doctors who are leaders in the particular discipline, and in this case, academic psychiatrists have told a story of new illnesses — like juvenile bipolar illness — being “discovered,” and of drugs for those treatments that are safe, effective and necessary. They tell this story to the public even as their own studies find that their juvenile bipolar patients — who when they first came to a psychiatrist might simply have been “hyperactive” or strug gling with a momentary bout of depression — are ending up with severe bipolar symptoms and can now expect to be chronically ill for life. The problem is that our so ciety trusts academic doctors to tell an honest story, and in this corner of medicine, it’s quite easy to document — and I did document this in Anatomy of an Epidemic — that academic psychiatry has belied that trust. Levine: Let’s get to the issue of psychiatric medications fixing “chemical im balances.” This idea was absolutely crucial in making Prozac and other anti depressants attractive to depressed patients. However, these days even much of the psychiatry establishment has backed off the idea that depressed peop le have too little serotonin between their synapses and that antidepressants 21
fix this chemical imbalance. Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t help but see the comparison between Big Pharma and the Bush Administration, which told Americans that the U.S. needed to invade Iraq because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and he was connected to Al Qaeda. Of course, the Saddam HusseinAl Qaeda connection was simply a lie, and the WMD ra tionale proved to be false. Do you believe that Big Pharma and establishment psychiatry were lying about this chemical imbalance theory at the time Pro zac hit the market in 1988, or do you believe that they had hoped this theory was true because it sold drugs — and it just turned out to be wrong? Whitaker: The lowserotonin theory of depression was first investigated in the 1970s and early 1980s, and those studies did not find that people diagnosed with depression had “low serotonin.” As the NIMH [National Institute of Mental Health] noted in 1984 at the conclusion of such investigations: “Elevations or decrements in the functioning of serotonergic systems per se are not likely to be associated with depression.” So why was the public told differently? The answer is a bit complicated. In the late 1970s, the market for psychiatric drugs declined and psychiatry suddenly saw itself as a profession under “siege,” having now to compete with a burgeoning number of psychologists and other nonphysician thera pists for patients. In response, the profession — at its highest levels — decided to sell the public on a biomedical model of mental disorders, as that model would naturally emphasize the importance of taking “medications” for a disease and it was only psychi atrists who could prescribe those drugs. This storytelling began with the publication of DSMIII in 1980, which the American Psychiatric Association (APA) heralded as a grand “scientific achievement,” and then soon the APA was announcing that great dis coveries were being made about the biology of mental disorders. And once psychiatry began to tell a story that wasn’t science based, but rather was best described as a mar keting campaign, I think it began to believe its own marketing slogans. I don’t know this for a fact, but I am willing to bet that Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and others began to believe their own public pronouncements about weapons of mass destruction and a Saddam HusseinAl Qaeda connection, and I think something similar to that happe ned in American psychiatry when Prozac came to market. The field stopped looking at the science that showed that the lowserotonin theory of depression had basically al ready flamed out, and instead began to believe its own propaganda. Moreover, the chemicalimbalance story did more than just spur sales of drugs. It pro 22
vided psychiatrists with a desirable public image. They were now like doctors in infec tious medicine and other respected specialties, their medications “like insulin for dia betes.” The chemicalimbalance story told of medical progress, of a discipline that was unlocking the mysteries of the brain. Indeed, when Prozac came to market, there were newspaper stories about how psychiatry now had a new reason to “feel proud,” and how its public image had improved. So in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the chemical imbalance story is not one that tells of how lying moved into the heart of the field, but rather how professional delusion did. At some later point, however, as the chemical imbalance story repeatedly fell apart, psychiatrists in the research community understood that they were telling a “fib.” I can still remember — this was the summer of 1998 — when I questioned a prominent academic psychiatrist about whether the chemical imbalance story was really “true” and he replied by stating that it was a “useful metaphor” that “helped patients under stand why they needed to take their medication.” This really is the tragedy of modern psychiatry — it became a medical discipline devoted to telling a public story that made its drugs look good, as opposed to telling a story rooted in honest science. Levine: Big Pharma and their partners in establishment psychiatry would like the general public to believe that the only critics of psychiatry are Scien tologists. In reality, most scientists who are critics of psychiatry are also cri tics of the pseudoscience of Scientology. It is my experience that serious cri tics of psychiatry are not antidrug zealots. For example, I know that you have talked with “psychiatric survivors” — expatients who want to reform mental health treatment. David Oaks, one of the leading activists in the psy chiatric survivor movement, often repeats that some members of his Mind Freedom organization continue to take their psychiatric drugs while many choose not to, and what MindFreedom and other psychiatric survivors are fighting for is truly informed choice and a wider range of treatment options. Do you think that David Oaks’s fight is the right one? Whitaker: Big Pharma and their partners in establishment psychiatry have smartly used Scientology to defuse criticism of their medications. I honestly believe that if Sci entology weren’t around, then our society could have a much more rational discussion about our drugbased paradigm of care. As for the position taken by MindFreedom and other psychiatric survivors, I basically do think that is the right one to take, with two caveats. In order to make a “truly informed choice,” a person needs to know the long 23
term effects of a treatment. It’s not enough for people to be fully informed about the immediate “side effects” of a drug. People need to be presented with information about whether such treatment has been shown to better the longterm course of the disorder, or worsen it. They need to be told about longterm physical and cognitive problems that often arise with every day use of psychiatric drugs. So providing people with a “truly informed choice” is a tall order. My second caveat is this: As a society, we expect the medical community to develop the best possible form of care. We do not expect a medical community to offer a therapy that regularly leads to a bad end. And so, if we were to draw up a blueprint for refor ming the current paradigm of care, it would be nice if the psychiatric community would try to develop therapeutic approaches that involved using psychiatric medicati ons in a selective, cautious way that best promoted good longterm outcomes. In other words, I think psychiatry does have a responsibility to develop a true evidencebased model for using its drugs, a model that incorporates the longterm outcomes data. In the solution section of Anatomy of an Epidemic, I write of how doctors and psycholo gists in northern Finland use antipsychotics in a selective, cautious manner when tre ating firstepisode psychotic patients, and their longterm outcomes are, by far, the best in the Western World. So if you believe in evidencebased medicine, then Ameri can psychiatry should look to the Finnish program as a model for reform. Doctors have a responsibility to lead, but I think that you see in David Oaks’ position a belief that establishment psychiatry in America cannot be trusted to provide such leadership. He’s right to believe that, of course, and that’s what is so tragic about modern Ameri can psychiatry. Bruce E.

Het verhaal over Iboga
Ten years of therapy in one night http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/healthmindandbody/story/0,6000,1045038,00.html
Could a single trip on a piece of African rootbark help a junkie kick the habit? That was the claim in the 1960s, and now iboga is back in the spotlight. But is it a miracle cure? Daniel Pinchbeck decided to give it a go. And life, he says, will never be the same again...
Saturday September 20, 2003 The Guardian In 1962, Howard Lotsof, a 19yearold heroin addict in New York, ordered from a che mist iboga, a plant used in West African rituals, and tried it for extra kicks. After con suming the bitter rootbark powder, he experienced a visionary tour of his early memo ries. Thirty hours later, when the effects had subsided, he found that he had lost all craving for heroin, without withdrawal symptoms of any kind. He said he then gave iboga to seven other addicts and five stopped taking drugs immediately afterwards. In 1985, Lots of patented the ibogaine molecule for the purposes of addiction treat ment, but could not get his treatment approved. In the interim years, ibogaine had been declared, along with LSD and several other psychedelic molecules, an illegal "schedule one" substance, with potential for abuse and no medical value. Although it found dedicated support among a ragtag group of countercultural activists and left over Yippies, in 1995 the National Institutes of Health discontinued research into the substance, and pharmaceutical companies have since ignored it, perhaps due to low profit potential. But now, interest in ibogaine is growing rapidly, passing a "tipping point" through a combination of anecdotal evidence, underground activism, journalism and scientific re search. Articles have appeared in US publications ranging from the authoritative Journal Of The American Medical Association (Jama) to the populist Star. The Jama piece, Addiction Treatment Strives For Legitimacy, described the drug's stalled and tortured path through the regulatory agencies, noting that the treatment's frustrated supporters in the US have set up an "underground railroad" to give addicts access to the drug: "While unknowable scores of addicts continue ingesting ibogaine hydrochlo 29
ride purified powder or iboga wholeplant extract containing a dozen or more active alkaloids few trained researchers witness the events." The Star took a more colourful approach: "Rare Root Has Celebs Buzzing" it said, trumpeting the treatment as the hot ticket for "the numerous celebs who look for relief from their tough lives in the bottom of a bottle of Jack Daniel's, a needle or prescripti on medicine". The article insinuates that "some of our favourite Alisters" not only get cured but enjoy the hallucinations as an illicit "fringe benefit". Outside the US, new clinics have opened in Mexico, Canada and Europe, offering reasonably priced, medi cally supervised opportunities to try ibogaine as a method of overcoming addiction. In fact, at one new clinic in Vancouver, the treatment is free. Iboga is the sacred essence of the religion of the Bwiti tribe of Gabon and Cameroon. Most members of the tribe ingest it just once in their lives, during an initiation cere mony in which massive amounts of the powdered bark are consumed. Through this ri tual, they become a baanzi, one who has seen the other world. "Iboga brings about the visual, tactile and auditory certainty of the irrefutable existence of the beyond," wrote the French chemist Robert Goutarel, who studied the Bwiti. The iboga bark's visionary power is produced by a complicated cocktail of alkaloids that seems to affect many of the known neurotransmitters, including serotonin and dopamine. Its complex molecu lar key may lock into the addiction receptors in a way that resets patterns and blocks the feedback loops that reinforce dependency. In an essay on ibogaine's antiaddictive properties, Dr Carl Anderson of McLean Hos pital, Virginia, speculated that addiction is related to a disrupted relationship between the brain's two hemispheres, and that ibogaine may cause "bihemispheric reintegra tion". Ibogaine also accesses REM sleep in a powerful way many people need conside rably less sleep for several months after an ibogaine trip. Six years ago, I became a member of the Bwiti. I had heard about ibogaine from an as sistant in an anarchist bookstore in New York. On a magazine assignment, I went to Gabon and took iboga in an initiation ceremony. It was one of the most difficult, yet rewarding, experiences of my life. I had heard the substance described as "10 years of psychoanalysis in a single night" but, of course, I did not believe it. As the tribesmen played drums and sang around me until dawn, I lay on a concrete floor and journeyed back through the course of my life up to that point, witnessing forgotten scenes from childhood. At one point, I had a vision of a wooden statue walking across the room and sitting in front of me later, I was told this was "the spirit of iboga" coming out to com 30
municate with me. My Bwiti initiation was complicated by a belligerent, greedy shaman who called himself The King and demanded more money from us before, during and after the ce remony. The King was also dissatisfied with the visions I described, and threatened to keep feeding me more iboga until I reported more impressive sights. The initiation, which lasted more than 20 hours, was ultimately liberating. At one point, I was shown my habitual overuse of alcohol and the effect it was having on my relationships, my writing and my psyche. When I returned to the US, I steadily reduced my drinking to a fraction of its previous level an adjustment that seems to be permanent. Recently, I tried ibogaine for a second time. I took it at the Ibogaine Association, a cli nic in Rosarito, Mexico. I had been contacted by a heroin addict who had been inspired to take ibogaine after reading the book I wrote about my experiences: three months af ter his first treatment in Mexico, he was still clean after a 12year dependency. He told me, "Your book saved my life." He had given Dr Martin Polanco, the clinic's foun der, a copy of my book, and he had offered me a free treatment. I was curious to see how the experience would differ away from its tribal context. My new friend wanted to take it again to reinforce the effect. We went down together. Polanco estimates that his clinic has treated nearly 200 addicts in its first 18 months. About one third of those patients have managed to stay clean either permanently or for a considerable period; many have returned for a second treatment. "Ibogaine needs to be much more widely available," Polanco says. "We still have a lot to learn about how to administer it, how to work with it." He does not think iboga is a cure for addic tion, but is convinced it is a powerful tool for treatment and, in some cases, it is a cure. He plans to set up several nonprofit clinics. "This is something that should be nonprofit," he says. "After all, it is a plant. It came up from the earth. It does give you some guidance. It shows you how you really are." He chuckles. "That can be scary." The Ibogaine Therapy House in Vancouver, British Columbia, opened last November. "So far, we have treated 14 people quite well," says Marc Emery, the clinic's founder and head of the BC Marijuana Party. "They all say that their life has improved." Emery, nicknamed the "Prince of Pot", is funding the free clinic with proceeds from his successful hemp seed business. "Ibogaine stops the physical addiction without causing withdrawal," he says, "and it deals with the underlying psychological issues that lead to drug use." Emery estimates that treatment for each patient at the clinic costs around $1,500 31
(£943), which includes two administrations of the drug. "When I found out about ibo gaine, I felt that someone should be researching this, but the drug companies aren't interested because there is no commercial potential in this type of cure." Neither he nor Polanco is too concerned about ambiguous studies on ibogaine's toxicity. As the Jama article noted, "One reviewer wrote that the drug's toxicology profile was 'less than ideal', with bradycardia [an abnormally slow heartbeat] leading the list of wor risome adverse effects." "From the masses of reports I have studied, a total of six people have died around the time they took ibogaine," says Emery. "Some were in poor health, some took other drugs at the time of their treatment. That doesn't scare me off. I have a lot of confiden ce in ibogaine." At this stage, with little scientific study, the true toxicology of ibogaine is impossible to determine the treatment is unlicensed in other countries and illegal in the US. The decision whether or not to take such a risk is entirely personal. Emery notes that his clinic screens for heart problems and other medical conditions that might contraindi cate the treatment. It also gives patients small daily doses of iboga for two weeks after their initial treatment. "Iboga tends to make anything bad for you taste really crappy. If possible, we want our patients to quit cigarettes at the same time. We think that ci garettes can lead people back to other addictions." Emery notes that nobody has so far criticised the project, and he is seeking support from local government. "Iboga tells you to change your ways or else it goes over all of your health and personal issues. It is like the ghost of Christmas past." Randy Hencken drove us from San Diego to the Ibogaine Association. A 25yearold former heroin addict who had kicked the habit after two ibogaine treatments at the clinic, he was now working for the association, going to local methadone centres with flyers and keeping in contact with former patients. The first treatment costs $2,800 (£1,760), including an initial medical examination and several days' convalescence af terwards, but subsequent visits are only $600 (£377) and it seems most addicts need at least two doses of ibogaine to avoid relapsing. The Ibogaine Association is in a quiet, dignified house overlooking the Pacific, decora ted with Buddhist statues and yarn paintings from Mexico's Huichol people. I was gi ven a medical examination by Polanco and a test dose of the drug. Twentyminutes af ter ingesting the test dose, I started to feel nervous and lightheaded. As I took the other pills a gelcapped extract of the rootbark powder I realised I was in for a se 32
rious trip. The nurse led me back to my room. My head already spinning, I lay back on the bed as she hooked me up to an electrocardiograph and headphones playing ambient mu sic.Why was I doing this again? Ibogaine is no pleasure trip. It not only causes violent nausea and vomiting, but many of the "visions" it induces amount to a painful para ding of one's deepest faults and moral failings. I had a loud, unpleasant buzzing in my ears the Bwiti probably pound on drums throughout the ceremony to overwhelm this noise. With my eyes closed, I watched as images began to emerge like patterns out of TV static. I saw a black man in a 1940slooking suit. He was holding the hand of a fiveyearold girl and leading her up some stairs. I understood that the girl in the visi on was me and that the man represented the spirit of iboga. He was going to show me around his castle. While startling at the time, such an encounter with a seeming "spirit of iboga" is a ty pical vision produced by the Bwiti sacrament. In many accounts, people describe mee ting a primordial African couple in the jungle. Sometimes, the iboga spirit manifests itself as a "ball of light" that speaks to the baanzi, saying, "Do you know who I am? I am the chief of the world, I am the essential point!" Part of my trip took the form of an interview that was almost journalistic. I could ask direct questions of "Mr Iboga" and receive answers that were like emphatic, telegraphed shouts inside my head even in my deeply stoned state, I managed to scrawl down in my notebook many of the respon ses. I askedMr Iboga what iboga was. I was told simply: "Primordial wisdom teacher of humanity!" Later, my personal faults and lazy, decadent habits were replayed for me in detail. When I asked what I should do, the answer was stern and paternal: "Get it straight now!" This ideal of straightness, uprightness, kept returning during the trip a meaningful image for me, as I suffer from scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. When I was shown other faults that seemed rather petty and insignificant, I tried to protest that some of these things really didn't matter. Iboga would have none of it, insisting: "Everything matters!" Iboga told me that I had no idea of the potential significance of even the smallest acti ons. I reviewed some events in my life and my friends' lives that seemed bitterly un
33
fair. Yet, in this altered state, I felt I could sense a karmic pattern behind all of them, perhaps extending back to previous incarnations. Iboga affirmed this, dictating: "God is just!" To many readers, these insights may sound trivial. They did not feel that way at the time. They were delivered with great force and minimalist precision. While they might have been manifestations of my own mind, they seemed like the voice of an "other". Generally, I never think in such direct terms about "God", and "primordial wisdom teacher" is not my syntax. During the night, I had numerous visions and ponderous metaphysical insights. At one point, I seemed to fly through the solar system and into the sun, where winged beings were spinning around the core at a tremendous rate. Up close, they looked like the goldtinged angels in early Renaissance paintings. Perhaps due to my recent rea ding of the Austrian visionary Rudolf Steiner, this whole trip had a kind of ecoChris tian flavour to it. At one point, I thought of humans as an expression of the Gaian Mind, the earth's sensory organs and selfreflective capacities, at the planet's present state of development. If we are changing quickly right now, I considered, it is only be cause the earth has entered an accelerated phase of transformation, forcing a fast evo lution in human consciousness. The loud buzzing sound that ibogaine produced seemed to be something like a dial tone, as if the alkaloid were in itself a device for communicating on a different fre quency than the usual one. Thinking of my girlfriend and our child, I realised that I was lucky "You are lucky!" Mr Iboga echoed. I felt tremendous, tearful gratitude that I had been given a chance to live and love, to explore and try to understand so many things. As so often these days, I pondered on the terrible state of the world wars and terrors and environmental ruin. I saw sheets of radioactive flame devouring cities, huge crowds reduced to cinders. I asked Mr Iboga if this was going to be the tragic fate of humanity. The answer I received was startling and reassuring: "Everything is safe in God's hands!" As ludicrous as it may sound, this message has stayed with me and alleviated much paranoia and anxiety. While tripping, I decided that Mr Iboga was a form of enlighten ed mind, like a buddha who had chosen a different form, as a plant spirit rather than human teacher, to work with humanity, imparting a cosmic message of "tough love". At one point I asked if he would consider incarnating as a person, and the answer I got 34
was, basically, "Already did that!" implying that, in some previous cycle, he had pas sed through the perilous stages of evolution we are now navigating. I also came away from this trip with the suspicion that iboga was the original inspiration for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Biblical tale. The plant's placement in equatorial Africa, cradle of humanity, would support this idea, as well as its sobering moral recti tude. The "good and evil" that iboga reveals is not abstract but deeply personal, and rooted in the character of the individual. Late in the night, I retched and vomited out bitter rootbark residue. I put on a CD of African drumming. Closing my eyes, I watched a group of smiling Bwiti women dance around a jungle bonfire. After that, the visions died down, although it was impossible to sleep until late the next night. My friend in recovery had a less visionary experience. His faults were also paraded in front of him in repetitive loops that seemed endless. At one point, I heard him scream out, "No! No! No!" He saw a possible future for himself if he didn't kick heroin beco ming a dishwasher, sinking into dissolute old age with a bad back and a paunch. He asked what he could do to help save the world. He was told: "Clean up your room!" Me ditating on his experience later, my friend quipped, "Ibogaine is God's way of saying, 'You're mine!' "
