Dead Wrong: How Psychiatric Drugs Can Kill Your Child Page #9

---

Or social situations, what kind

of stress was he under, etc?

What kind of diet he was under.

If we're well nourished, then being jilted by

a girlfriend or something might not affect us.

But if we're malnourished, that might

make us angry or depressed or aggressive.

Yeah. So, I would have

taken an extended history.

That would have been

the most important thing.

And then probably, if he

hadn't had any laboratory tests,

I would do some sort of laboratory

testing to make sure he wasn't anemic,

make sure he didn't have

electrolyte abnormalities,

make sure that he didn't have any

urinary or kidney problems, etc.,

make sure he didn't have a brain

tumor. All those sorts of things.

So many things that could and should have

been done before he was put on a drug.

- In my practice in the last ten years,

I never had to put a person on a drug. - Right.

Doctor, are there any other underlying

causes that you can think of,

that could have been at the

root of Matthew's problem,

or other people that go

in with these symptoms?

Even though it's most likely some combination

of the things we've talked about already,

there are certainly physical illnesses,

infectious diseases that can contribute.

Allergies?

Sure, it could be allergies,

bacterial infections,

mercury in the vaccines,

aluminum in the vaccines.

Matthew's room was in the

basement, it's a finished basement.

Now, there were windows in his room,

but still it gets musty down there.

- Okay, mold is, sure.

- Are there things that could have...

Toxic fumes, of course. Carpets will

have all sorts of toxins in them.

Funguses and things like that, mold and mildew

are toxic to the body and probably the brain.

So, there's a list, I'm sure, of

hundreds of physical bacterial illnesses

that maybe can contribute to a chronic

fatigue or sadness, perhaps, or lack of energy.

So, there's a lot of holistic approaches

to physical health, mental health,

spiritual health, everything.

And drugs just alter the

brain, they never cure anything.

And then they make

you permanent patients,

which is great for business

and bad for patients.

And suicide, completed suicide is just

one of the thousands of adverse effects

that the industry

refuses to acknowledge.

So our brain nutrition is extremely

important in mental ill health.

Getting people off the

drugs, good nutrition,

that's the way to cure. And then

you have lost a patient for life.

- But that's what doctors are supposed to do.

- That's what your goal is supposed to be.

We're supposed to cure people

and not make them chronically ill

and requiring monthly visits

for the two-minute prescription.

Thank you so much for sharing

everything that you know with us

and it was really wonderful to meet you.

- You're welcome.

- What are you doing?

- Say hi to the camera.

- Hi. - Say

hi. - Hi.

I have a million number one things that I

miss about Matthew that can't go on a list.

I miss the camaraderie, I miss him at the

kitchen table. I miss him at Christmas.

I miss the things that we did together.

Everything. His presence.

I just wish he was still here. I

know how much fun he'd be having.

I know he would love

to see Ryan's little boy

and my niece and be there

for his family and us.

Next week when I see my other two brothers,

as much as everybody's going to be there

we're still going to be one man down.

You know, a part of us all went with him and

that part is sorely missed. It is achingly missed.

I don't like that all the people closest to

me have got a huge hole and a huge ache that,

that doesn't go away.

Their amazing love for each

other was just tore all apart

for some drug company's bottom line.

My friends get to visit

their brothers at college

and they have their little

brothers on speed dial

and I have to visit mine in the cemetery

because someone made a decision that this

information wasn't going to make them money,

is what it came down to.

Or it wouldn't get their drug approved.

So I visit my brother in a cemetery on his

birthday and on my birthday and on Christmas

and any random day of

the week I go there.

But I won't see him get married

and I won't see him have kids

and he won't be there for me when I

do those things, because he's not here.

We've talked a lot about

the devastating side effects

and... of these psychotropic drugs, what

they've done to us and to our families,

how we've had to live

with the effects of them.

But there are other alternatives

to taking those drugs

and I just wanted to talk a

little bit about what they are

and what experience you

might have with them.

Sheila, you didn't

put your son on drugs.

You elected not to do that.

What did you do to help him

to get through his situation?

I did tutoring. And basically

I took my son there twice a week

and they worked on educational

issues such as sequencing.

What I found out was that he had

a real problem with his language.

So it was like a very positive approach

to his behavioral issues because there

were underlying educational issues

that were not being

addressed in the classroom.

He needed more one-on-one,

which he wasn't getting.

So it was probably making

him feel inferior, or

this way this has helped to boost his

confidence and made him do better in school.

He did much better in school and

it really helped his self-esteem

and I saw a big improvement. So I did

a lot of the educational resources.

And I was just going to add that some

students, like in this way the classrooms are,

they don't necessarily fit in well

and a lot of parents are

now doing home schooling

because their children don't have the

pressure of what the school system wants.

And I think that for some people

that's a really great solution.

They say exercising is a wonderful

way to relieve the stress and to...

There is a study that I found one time

that was talking about how

great exercise is for you.

And when I looked into the study I found out

that they had had a group with medication,

and a group with exercise and medication

and then just an exercise group,

the exercise groups did the best.

But it's promoted as

though they're equal.

And it's very deceptive

because they're not equal.

The exercise worked and the study on the

medication did not, it made them worse.

Why not take the kid out onto the

playground and let them play for 5 minutes?

This may be a child who is just wired to

need a little bit more physical activity,

like your daughter.

Run around with a ball or

climb on the monkey bars.

Let them go do that for 5 minutes and

then return to the learning activity.

It doesn't have to be a fight

to make our children learn,

for our children to

function in everyday society.

If that's what that child needs, then

let's find a way to give it to them,

let everybody be right so

that we can all function here.

There's so much we can do.

It's nutrition, it's exercise.

It's stuff that our
