"Mental Illness" is one of humanity's most harmful lies. "Psychiatry" (a Victorian Ancient Greek word meaning "Mind Healing") is the pseudo-science and crime that propagates this lie. All people of conscience should continue to work for the total abolition of "Psychiatry" as an official medical discipline; and to end its inherent lies and very serious world-wide human rights abuses. There have been millions of victims of this crime. We must hope that one day there will be no more victims.

Darkest Switzerland
"Schizophrenia" was invented in Darkest Switzerland in the 1880s.
By a highly unintelligent and UNENLIGHTENED criminal called Bleuler.
"Schizophrenia" does not exist.
JOKEAFRENIA DOES NOT EXIST. AND YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A BOFFIN TO KNOW THAT.
It is part of a European-in-origin crime against humanity called "Psychiatry".
Medicine cannot begin on Planet Earth whilst Psychiatry is part of it!

BAN "PSYCHIATRIC" "DRUGS" FROM MEDICINE NOW!
BAN "PSYCHIATRIC" "DRUGS"!
THEY ARE NOT MEDICINE.
Whilst one quarter of all "medicines" are "psychiatric" the Science and Art of Modern Medicine does not have a hope of even beginning!
THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCEPTION PURE BULLSHIT, PSEUDOSCIENCE AND POISON!
THEY ARE EXTREMELY HARMFUL AND SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN OUT BY MEDICAL DOCTORS IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
So-called "Anti-Depressant" drugs, for example, do not have any effect at all other than physical destruction of the human being.
They are an absolute and criminal lie.

Rudolf Virshow
For our definition of Medicine and for many other things we should thank Rudolf Virshow (1802-1902)!
For many reasons this man was a great man.
Medicine cannot be said to have begun in Europe until the basic principles he outlined are applied throughout it.
Our parlous state of affairs in Medicine is another example of how - compared to his time - we are in another Dark Age!
About Me
- Citizen Sofa
- I am an amateur FILOSOFER. (I am not really a sofa). I dropped out of Cambridge University though I got an "S" grade in the entrance examination. I eventually received a 1st class Bachelors degree elsewhere. I received A.H.R.B. funding to pursue postgraduate study, but did not do so. Please enjoy my blogs. To parafrase Orwell, I am trying to make political blogging into an art. My intellectual heroes are Kenan Malik, Thomas Szasz and Noam Chomsky. I have made some mistakes in my life - and I would like to apologize wholeheartedly and from the depths of my cushions for any problems I may have caused and may be causing for anyone anywhere.
