This is one of the most valuable posts that I have had the blessing to have read. It is proof of the destruction on all aspects of medicine for the sake of power. Thank you Dr. Yoho. 🙏 for all.

Also in Canada, a few months ago, they tried to label people as crazy/refer them to a psychologist for drugs if they didn't want to take the vaccine. This was the initial guidance: https://imgflip.com/i/71fp4k However I think it was revised after public outcry - again, only after they were caught.

Good luck with the new version of the book on Amazon. Hopefully it gets past the censors.

Not sure if you included this in the links. but here is a very revelatory lecture on the origins and history of the DSM https://www.google.com/logos/2021/petanque/r0730b/cta.png "Psychiatry & Big Pharma: Exposed - Dr James Davies, PhD"

"Why, without solid scientific justification, has the number of mental disorders risen from 106 in the 1960s, to around 370 today?

Why has the definition of mental disorder expanded to include ever more domains of human experience?

In the first part of this lecture, Dr James Davies will take us behind the scenes of how the psychiatrist’s bible, the DSM, was actually written – did science drive the construction of new mental disorder categories like ADHD and major depression or were less scientific and more unexpected processes at play? His exclusive interviews with the creators of the DSM reveal the answer.

The second part will address why psychiatry is such big business, and why, on the whole, it may be doing more harm than good. You’ll get insider knowledge on how psychiatry has put riches and medical status above patients’ well-being. The charge sheet is damning; negative drug trials routinely buried; antidepressants that work no better than placebos; research regularly manipulated to produce positive results; doctors, seduced by huge pharmaceutical rewards, creating more disorders and prescribing more pills; and ethical, scientific and treatment flaws unscrupulously concealed by mass-marketing.

You’ll learn the true human cost of an industry that, in the name of helping others, has actually been helping itself.

Dr James Davies graduated from the University of Oxford in 2006 with a DPhil in Social and Medical Anthropology.

I read Peter Goetzsche's book some time ago (before covid BS), as well as "Murder by Injection" by Eustace Mullins, and material from the notebooks of Bechampe and Pasteur (Bechampe was correct with the terrain theory, as REAL scientists are re-discovering). Thank you for your articles and books. What is happening now just makes me think of Monte Python skits, but so much more dangerous in this odd little hologram we live in. (Jude Currivan, Paramahamsa Tewari, Amrit Goswami, the Vedas in general....) I am an ecologist, btw, but definitely a post-materialist!

Both the Nazis and the commies loved using shrinks to "treat" dissidents.

If you are enjoying a nice hike in the woods and you see a tarbaby sitting on a log with an open DSM in it’s lap, NEVER, under any circumstances, speak to it, and you will be fine.

🤣😂🤣😂HAHAHAHA!!!🤣😂🤣😂

The PSYCHOPATHS who have infiltrated Psychiatry have - just by accident - collectively decided that psychopathy DOES NOT EXIST!!!...How convenient FOR THEM!!!

At this point, the DSM isn’t suitable even for wrapping fish. I’d be hesitant to use it during a toilet paper shortage. It’s utterly vile and pointless as a diagnostic tool. It’s lost ALL credibility. Ignore it...and its authors. Psychopaths HATE that.

Thank you again, Dr. Yoho. You hit another one out of the park. Wish I had known this inany years ago.

Thank God for good doctors.

When I saw that narcissism is related with psychopathing, had to share a rent post of mine .

this was great.

When you mentioned the term narcissist I thought of Tony the Rat Fauci.

The walls of his home office are covered with pictures of himself.

Michael Knowles does a short of this psychopath narcissist.

Like virology, psychiatry is a hodge-podge of accepted nonsense that can never be scientifically proven. It's been invented to market and sell drugs.

On the boat to the US from Europe, Sigmund Freud told his traveling companion "They think we are bringing them a panacea, but we are bringing a plague."

I agree with you completely on all points.

My sister is a prime example of how Allopathic and Psychiatric medicine can derail a person to the point that they can't get out of bed, take care of their children, and function in the home. She went through a divorce, moved hours away from family and lived in a beach shack for years, became a hoarder and lived on food stamps and the dole. She finally decided to wean herself off of the meds and that took a few years. Then she decided to go get a job in sales and slowly got her self together over several years. She was then able to move close to me. She of course still struggles with poor health as she ate crappy foods for years and does have problems dealing with reality and is trying to repair her relationship with her grown children. And to think that all her troubles were due to starting on anidepressents and sleeping pills is a crying shame.

Thank you Robert.

Just an observation from the viewpoint of an applied linguist (retired Prof. in Japan), the strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (linguistic relativity) was never really explored in my graduate programs, and never came up in my thoroughly pragmatically confined career. But I was influenced through a stable of other thinkers such as Spinoza, Emerson, D.Suzuki, Jung, Jospeph Campbell, Einstein ... and a respect for the integrity of culture from earlier 'primitive' communities.

Though I suspect a subtle continuum, people seem to fall into a divide between the bluntly literal minded, and those who see all language (and I might add logic and mathematical models) as necessary, but provisional social constructs through which we filter and make sense of the infinite information bombarding us which we shove under the label of 'reality'. Jill Bolte Taylor's TED talk and book give a short but powerful and secular take on the mystery of this phenomenon.

In the best case scenarios, those constructs are a necessary bootstrapping for collaborative problem solving. In worst case scenarios, those in bad faith presume to 'construct' reality to take advantage of others who all to easily mistake law for morality, ideologies for ideals, authority for our best interests. Just another tool for predators to herd the lowest hanging fruit of humanity. From the ancient scribe-gatekeepers to the present, that has always been the case for humanity, but I think there is good reason the current Tower of Babel is in such disarray for Mirriam-Webster to have decided 'gaslighting' as the 'word of the year' for 2022.

The institutionally defined definitions of 'mental health' that other institutions such as the legal system, the health 'care' system, corporate business and banking, and governance legitimize themselves with is the equivalence of room full of tailors, sewing the emperor's new clothes. Ha. Good premise for the first of a new series of childrens' stories for future generations in the manner of 'Just So Stories', 'Uncle Remus', 'Mother Goose', and 'Hans Christian Anderson'.

Cheers from Japan, and keep up the good fight.

Butchered by Healthcare was the best $5.00 on kindle I bought and read, it was hard to put down. And have used it many times to avoid medical and Script errors. It helped keep me of Metformin and the other pill forms they use to treat Type 2 Diabetics.

I suppose its time for dentists to remove all reference to toothache, periapical infection, abscess, acute pulpitis and let the politicians and their kids suffer as if it just isn’t recognized. Those evil Chinadian hospitals would have to inject oxygen into the hallways for the crowding. Or let them die like they did to so many seniors with covid.

You might call oppositional defiance disorder, single mother syndrome. Single mothers are notoriously bad at raising young men based on the evidence of statistical outcomes. The latest fad in psychiatry is simply to chemically castrate them.
