Continuing from my last blog:
Well, there are a number of illnesses that are easy victim to medical abuse. We have mentioned just two here, but it is an age-old tactic to use psychiatry/"insanity" to hide guilt in every social sphere.
In very general terms we can see this at work when we observe people in our everyday lives trying to refute accusations against them by suggesting that the person making the accusation is in some way mentally unstable. We have seen the phenomenon at work where a country wishes to prevent political opposition... in the old Soviet Union, for example, and we even see it at play in our own courts. In basic terms it`s the age old, "I am not guilty, so you must be mad to accuse me" ! It`s an easy dupe!
So why do people use it? Well, simple, if someone is guilty of something, and they can show that a witness to this fact is insane, this makes the witness non-credible. It`s the sort of device we saw in my blog where I examined victimhood: people who are weak, old, vulnerable and mentally ill lose their power because in their weakness they have become less credible.
A patient with M.E. who has a "psychiatric disorder" (diagnosed or hinted at) is instantly less of a guilt-threat to the medical profession because they are seen as suffering from a mental illness and are thereby diminished in status. Similarly, a child with a gut dysbiosis caused by vaccination, who is seen as needing psychiatric medication, also loses the rights they would assume as a patient with a physical health problem. If you are reading this and are thinking that it is too incredible to be true, I would ask you, please, to ask yourself this question: If there is a direct link between vaccinations and A.D.H.D, vaccinations-antibiotics and M.E., is it not just too coincidental that both find themselves within the province of psychiatry?
We see all around us examples of the people who are most likely to be victims and, as sure as night follows day, where there is greater weakness and greater guilt to be hidden, we see a greater use of psychiatry and psychiatric medication. In the U.K., G.Ps have been giving dumbing-down medication to hundreds of thousands of old people in Care Homes, just so that they could be kept quiet. And why? Yes, yes, we know the presented reason(!), to make it "easy for staff to manage people"(!), but the real underlying reason, I believe, is that old people, in their very vulnerableness, make people feel guilty. The fact that old people are generally treated so badly within the health service, adds to the guilt that staff carry and increases the psychological need for them and their group to use the chemical cosh. The compartmental conscience says, "they need to be medicated for their own good." In basic terms, when we abuse people, we want and need to see them as things that we need to suppress and control and in this guilt-shift device we get rid of our guilt. Make no mistake about this, old people in Care Homes receiving psychiatric medication has everything to do with shutting up the guilt of staff and little to do with caring.
More on this subject very soon...........

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Gut, 2
Guilt has to be hidden if at all possible. But why do I think that there is medical guilt associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
There is much evidence that antibiotics damage the gut, yet these drugs often get off the hook because most people are not seen to sustain gut damage. Gut flora is not measured or monitored and therefore the effects of antibiotics are not seen. It is thought that the more antibiotics a person takes, the greater the risk to ongoing gut ecology damage and that for those with the predisposition of gut flora imbalance, the risk is higher. But antibiotics are given to patients without regard for their history and without concern for any possible resulting illness, let alone a professional reporting of ensuing illness to any medical body. Of course, this is all very alarming, but still more so is the fact that doctors really do not want to have the cause and effect monitored.
Of course there are exceptions within mainstream medicine. Some G.Ps, mindful of the risks, will advise patients to take probiotics during and after antibiotic use to minimise risk.( If there is no link at all between antibiotic use and deleterious consequence to health, why would they do this?) And of course some few doctors in the N.H.S. know what is happening and just keep quite. Let`s do a double take on this: "some doctors know what is happening to people and keep quiet"? Well, yes, there are an enlightened few, but as always within groups, there are things that have to be done in order to maintain one`s position within the group organism. Group rewards don`t come gratis, they come at a price. Doctors who overstep the mark, even if this is to try to help patients, risk, at worst, losing their job, but there are lesser consequences too. In short, there are some things that doctors with conscience just cannot speak up about.
So with some doctor`s awareness of the dangers of antibiotics, some keeping shtum and some quietly advising their patients, we can see that the medical profession is carrying a lot of guilt, suppressed guilt, unconscious guilt sometimes, but enough to account for a less than adequate response to some illnesses, illnesses where there is medical guilt. Okay, so I think at this point we need to look at A.D.H.D........
Once again many doctors within general medicine will steer a parent towards the managing or fixing of A.D.H.D. in their child upon the basis that it is a gut disorder. A dietary program, supplements, all to minimise the "hyperness" resulting from foods that feed a likely candida overgrowth.
I wonder why this has not been the standard approach, though? Why do doctors feel, and let`s emphasise the word "feel" here because it is indeed a subjective diagnosis, that a child should be medicated with a psychiatric drug like Ritalin for a gut disorder? Doesn`t this sound like the worst kind of evil ? Well, in my view, it sounds like a very serious and unethical perversion of medicine. I so much feel that it is an outrage to treat a child as if it has a psychiatric illness when it in fact has a physical illness, but we have seen this before haven`t we? (Sarcasm intended here!!!) M.E., even with a half-hearted recognition as a physical condition, still incurs the disrespect of psychiatric interventions. Can we believe that this is happening in the 21st century? Well, it is almost beyond belief I know, and this is why we need to know how and why this should be so. Why would doctors who, after all, are supposedly all about wanting to help people, get caught up in pushing physical illness into the psychiatric sphere? Could it be that vaccinations cause allergies and autism, A.D.H.D. and the like, and doctors are fleeing from their involvement in it?
