This news and views of the NEJM editor are true.

Are you for real ? You took an oath “First do no harm” – you read the evidence of corruption in a reputed medical journal and you think the patients are paranoid ? Will nothing wake you doctors up ? What you are doing is shortening the lives of children and elderly! Do your research not just parrot fashion dish out your 1st line / 2nd line and 3rd line drugs to line the pockets of corrupt big pharma. WAKE UP !!

double blind peer reviewed clinical trials ae still the most effective way to prove a substance and maybe governments should get more involved in doing this thus preventing “Big Pharma ” getting away with so much.

Furthermore it would also behoove journals like NEJM and all to consider more thoroughly the value of what papers they are publishing – how many papers do we need on acupuncture and homeopathy? They only give gravitas to totally discredited and unscientific therapies.

Prevention is better than cure. Unfortunately psychiatry is a very toxic profession. If the psychiatrist’s conscientiousness is supplanted by cowardice, greed, pride, self-deceptions, the already vulnerable patient must bear the brunt.

Thomas Szasz was one in a million. We have Peter Breggin, Terry Lynch, Robert Whitaker and few more honourable people around. We don’t have a health care system, we have a disease-care system. Reflecting on personal experience, my daughter in law was pregnant, the doctor suggested to her to take antidepressants. This behaviour is not very professional. All the evidence suggesting Seroxat causes baby’s heart defects; she did not listen because she is intelligent and responsible for her pregnancy. We are grateful to people in the profession who speak out; it is a very courageous thing to do. Thank you, Robert Whitaker, Peter Breggin, Terry Lynch and others.
