"He attributed all of the doctor's criminal behavior to the drug-induced mania and he did not believe that Dr. Kirklander would repeat any of his criminal behavior now that he was medication free. The medical board hired another consultant, a state hospital psychiatrist who concluded that the drugs had done nothing to influence Dr. Kirklander's behavior. In early December 2006, the other two doctors testified in person at a hearing of the medical board, and I testified by telephone. I thought the hearing officer had been fair and I hoped that Dr. Kirklander's medical license would be restored." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"CBT has also been used with an impressively high degree of effectiveness for a dizzying number of conditions—among them, bulimia, hypochondriasis, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder, even as a proven means of reducing criminal behavior. Cognitive-behavioral treatments have been shown in analyses to reduce criminal recidivism by 25 percent.10 One can only imagine the hype that would surround a pill if it was found to reduce criminal behavior at such a rate." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "Antisocial disorder leads to a great deal of criminal behavior and is marked by aggression, impulsivity, and lack of remorse. The study began in 1972 and 1973 when the children were three years old. Children from two towns in Mauritius were assigned to two groups. One hundred children were placed in an experimental "enrichment program"; a control group of about 350 children received no additional services." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "Cognitive-behavioral treatment is significandy associated with reducing criminal behavior, unlike psychotherapy, which has been shown to increase it. (Unstructured psychotherapy has been proven to be disastrous for certain groups, such as criminals, making them more likely to recommit crimes. As a colleague of mine quipped, "They may be more likely to re-offend, but at least they have a better understanding of why they do it."" - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Tfc In the 19th century, physiog-sfl^Vk' nomists believed that ear size and shape could predict criminal behavior. Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909), the leading Italian criminologist of his day, wrote that "ears of unusual size, or occasionally very small, or standing out from the head as do those of the chimpanzee" were signs of a born criminal. STOP SIGN Tricking your brain to get its mind off the ringing sound sometimes helps mask tinnitus. If, for example, you're trying to sleep and your tinnitus is coming in loud and clear, play low music or keep a softly ticking clock by your bedside." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"One can only imagine the hype that would surround a pill if it was found to reduce criminal behavior at such a rate. Ads for "Pacify," as it might be called, would dominate the airwaves, and the public debate, for years. Furthermore, two innovative treatment approaches—the Stages of Change model and Motivational Interviewing—have provided an entirely new paradigm of how caregivers conceive of the process by which people change and how to motivate them to do so." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"The practical consequences of these deficits are self-evident: increased failure in school, elevated dropout rates, diminished economic activity, and increased risk of antisocial or criminal behavior.35 Current research suggests that the effects of lead exposure on human brain development may be even more damaging than we currently know." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"That is why low levels of omega-3 fats have been linked to everything from depression and anxiety, to bipolar disease and criminal behavior, to schizophrenia, to attention deficit disorder and autism and learning disabilities, as well as dementia and many other neurological diseases." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Kirklander would repeat any of his criminal behavior now that he was medication free. The medical board hired another consultant, a state hospital psychiatrist who concluded that the drugs had done nothing to influence Dr. Kirklander's behavior. In early December 2006, the other two doctors testified in person at a hearing of the medical board, and I testified by telephone. I thought the hearing officer had been fair and I hoped that Dr. Kirklander's medical license would be restored. Instead, despite my testimony and that of another expert who confirmed that Dr." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"At the beginning of the twentieth century, "unnecessary surgery" was defined as criminal behavior.36 In the 1960s and 1970s, the concept became a product of malpractice case law, with assistance from consumer and women's health care social movements. Litigants were winning lawsuits against physicians for surgical procedures that were deemed by a jury to be needless." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"However, lack of any prior history of criminal behavior or mental disturbances; the presence of symptoms of drug overstimulation such as emotional instability, increased agitation and irritability, insomnia, weight loss, and paranoid fears; the utter irrationality of the acts; the recent increase in his dose of Paxil—everything confirmed for me that this was a case of medication madness. As in all the cases in this book, Adam and his family had not been warned by the prescribing doctor, nurse, or physician's assistant that the drug could cause abnormal behavior." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "No evidence of Vernon's supposed ADHD was put into the medical records and there's no reason to associate the diagnosis with criminal behavior.20 If Vernon's psychiatrist had taken an adequate medical history, he would have found out that his patient was taking very large doses of a mild stimulant, additional doses of a dangerous over-the-counter steroid mixture, and a single long-acting injection of a potent prescription steroid. He could have determined that his patient had undergone a maniclike disinhibition and that he should avoid stimulants and steroids in the future." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"The extreme cases are those of outright criminal behavior, like that of the Enrons and the Parmalats. In the aftermath of a boom, the political environment changes, the public who lost money is outraged, offenders are prosecuted, and regulation is tightened. We saw that happen again in the United States and other countries after the market peaked in 2000. It is an important job that the regulators and prosecutors do, and the aftermath of a speculative boom is a sort of cleansing of our financial markets that makes it possible for them to function even more effectively." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "More common than the examples of criminal behavior, however, are examples of people who stayed entirely within the law and exploited a boom, building businesses that they did not themselves believe in. These are the cases of disingenuity rather than frauds. Some of these people have already taken their money and gone home. Since 2000, many top managers of tech companies that were built promoting a fundamentally flawed business concept have made their initial public offerings, and have retired to their estates, and hardly care that the price of their stocks has dropped so far." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"These three steps have to be taken if this world shall not be doomed: STAGE ONE: What is needed is a combined effort to fight the criminal behavior of drug companies wherever possible. Partially this is already case. While this book is being written, the Wall Street Journal (Nov. 1. 2004) headlined: "EMAILS SUGGEST MERCK KNEW VIOXX'S DANGER AT EARLY STAGE." To quote the authors Anna Wilde Mathews and Barbara Martinez exactly: ".. ." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"The individuals who have condoned criminal behavior must shoulder the guilt. Remember, a corporation is a "fictitious" entity; it functions only at the behest of individuals who control it. These are the true criminals, the ones to be held accountable, the ones to be punished. If, at the same time, corporate America is put on notice that they —the corporations with deep pockets — will be held liable for the monetary damages inflicted on our citizens, a first step will have been taken toward reclaiming America." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.)

"Oxford University, England, have consistently found that vitamin supplements can even reduce aggressive and violent criminal behavior. If vitamins and good eating habits can improve the most serious mood and behavior problems, imagine how they could help you cope with The Fast-Food Junk-Food Cascade Negative mood and behavior changes run-of-the-mill stresses of modern life, such as a hectic schedule, traffic jams, and Machiavellian office politics. I'll describe more of this fascinating research in later chapters." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.) "Conversely, what works for people with serious mood or behavioral problems, such as violent criminal behavior, will often improve less destructive mood problems. Again, the issue is one of dosage. A general rule of thumb is that milder mood and behavior problems usually respond to smaller amounts of supplements. Although vitamins and related supplements are extraordinarily safe, it makes little sense to take higher doses and to spend more money than you need to." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"Schauss tracked him, and he didn't relapse into criminal behavior. Stunned by the dramatic effects of eliminating sugar from the boy's diet, Dr. Schauss began collecting similar case histories throughout the country, and at the request of chemist and Nobel Prize-winner Dr. Linus Pauling, he summarized his findings in his then-controversial book Diet, Crime and Delinquency. This led to further research around the world, including double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in juvenile and adult facilities, which confirmed Dr. Schauss's initial results." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.)

"As a juror you will want to consider if and when the lines of criminal behavior are blurred to a point that laws meant to protect U.S. citizens have been broken. "Newspeak" In his book, 1984, George Orwell wrote about "newspeak." This is now the language used by pharmaceutical companies to create billions of dollars in profit from genetically engineering insulin-like molecules. Philip Dick, a noted sci-fi writer carried this one step further by stating: "The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.) "You, the juror, are asked to consider whether the many-ten-tacled media is nothing more than a parasite, lacking knowledge of criminal behavior. Or is it as real a predator as the pharmaceuticals, taking every advantage possible to enrich itself while keeping the rest of us "dumb and dumber." I would encourage you to revisit the quote used to introduce this chapter before you begin deliberation. Maybe the media has become nothing more than a filtered government mouthpiece. This chapter would not be complete without a personal disclosure." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.) "How this can be considered anything but criminal behavior? If I slip a cyanide pill into your dish of ice cream, knowing full well that cyanide is poisonous, is there little doubt that I will be charged with murder when you die? Diabetic Deaths Keep Going Up Diabetes, like many chronic diseases, has a cause which is unknown. A cure is always waiting just over the horizon. In the meantime, maintenance drugs, foods, instrumentation, and other unnatural controls on your life proliferate; all deplete your pock-etbook without increasing the length or the quality of your life." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.)

"Only those who lost their fathers while the child was in the womb were at increased risk of mental diseases, alcoholism/addiction, or criminal behavior.2 Clearly, the emotional state of the mother was affected, and that possibly had lifelong deleterious effects on the child. The results of this study suggest that the emotional state of the pregnant mother has more long-term effects on the child than the emotional state of the mother during the years following birth. And when we are investigating addiction, we must pay attention to womb-life." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"Spitzer has aggressively pursued investigations and prosecutions into drug companies that have allegedly defrauded New York out of hundreds of millions of dollars, and he's one of the few leaders willing to stand up against the fraud, corruption, and criminal behavior of Big Pharma. You may be curious to know where the lawsuit ended. As with nearly all such cases, it was settled out of court on August 26, 2004. The settlement details are described at: www.OAG.state.ny.us/press/2004/aug/aug26a_04_attach2." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "As you are learning throughout this book, the players in this system of medicine engage in unethical, harmful, and often criminal behavior to protect their profit margins and to keep the investors on Wall Street happy, including: *•* The invention and marketing of fictitious diseases ("disease mongering") in order to convince people they're sick and sell them needless prescription drugs. «•* The outright censorship of life-saving health information that the public desperately needs to make better health choices and prevent chronic disease." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"This is not only bad science but criminal behavior, since by then studies had demonstrated that fluoride was associated with dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, osteoporosis, increased cancer rates, lower fertility, weakened bones, genetic damage, and even damage to the brain. There was, and is, absolutely no justification for adding fluoride to drinking water! The Cancer Connection Most regulatory agencies responsible for public safety cite preventing cancer and lowering risk as the major criteria in limiting exposure to potentially toxic substances." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"This need to obtain the drug at all costs leads ultimately to a disintegration of normal life, including broken personal relationships, loss of employment, and even criminal behavior. People who become chemically dependent do so at different rates, and research is showing that susceptibility to addiction may be, in part, hereditary. Complicating the phenomenon of addiction is the problem of drug tolerance." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Criminals take drugs because the same thing that produces pain in them, growing up unloved, also can cause criminal behavior. Awareness does not put an end to the need for drugs. It can convince one that drugs are no longer needed: a very different affair. Awareness can never change internal reality. It is millions of years of evolution away from that reality. That reality is a reminder of our needs and our survival strategies. Unconsciousness is not an absence of consciousness; it is an active process of repression and keeping consciousness at bay." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"It is involved as one of the causal factors in antisocial and criminal behavior in children and adults. Lactase Deficiency Several gastrointestinal disorders may be caused by lactose intolerance or lactase deficiency. After infancy, many people no longer make enough lactase, the enzyme that splits lactose into galactose and glucose. The lactose cannot be absorbed and stays in the intestine, where it is fermented by bacteria, creating gas and intense bowel discomfort. The frequency of lactase deficiency varies enormously among different populations." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Based on this evidence, critics of Merck charged that the company is guilty of criminal behavior; currently a class action civil suit is being prepared against it. To date, however, the FDA has taken no action against Merck, despite the reaction of Dr. David Graham, associate director of the FDA's Office of Drug Safety. Dr. Graham called the FDA's original approval of Vioxx "The single greatest drug safety catastrophe in the history of this country or the history of this world." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)
