The Mental Health Debacle - Claim Against Evil

1

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

January 2013 was the beginning of the most traumatic period in my life, in the 7 months that followed I experienced many of the symptoms commonly associated with mental health disorders, which include:-

Feeling sad or down

Confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate

Excessive fears or worries, or extreme feelings of guilt

Extreme mood changes of highs and lows

Withdrawal from friends and activities

Significant tiredness, low energy and problems sleeping

Detachment from reality (delusions), paranoia and hallucinations

Difficulty coping with daily problems or stress

Trouble understanding and relating to situations and people

Major changes in eating habits

Sex drive changes

Although a few family members believed I should consult with my doctor, I chose not to take their advice and instead set out on a journey to understand what was happening myself, without the opinions of professionals clouding my judgement. First and foremost, I have always trusted own instincts and this situation was no different. The word ‘intuition’ means teaching from within, and when unhampered by fear, intuition has always been my greatest teacher and guide.

When the first mental asylums were built in the early 18th century, asylum owners were making vast amounts of money. And by all accounts, in order to justify their profession psychiatrists soon began thinking up possible treatments. At that time, anything that could control or subdue the patients was considered to be a treatment, however the reality was that many of these ‘treatments’, were in fact nothing better than glorified torture practices. Modern day psychiatrists claim mental illness to be the product of ‘chemical imbalances’ in the brain, which require drugs to rectify despite there being not one thread of credible scientific evidence supporting this claim.

It soon became apparent that viable alternatives to mental illness caused by chemical imbalance in the brain did exist, yet despite this the medical profession does not actively promote any of these possible alternatives, therefore tarring everyone with the same brush despite the distinct possibility existing that some people may actually have nothing at all wrong with them. Instead, their symptoms may in fact be associated with something entirely different.

Certainly yes, I agree that some individuals would benefit from medication on occasion, if for example they presented a genuine risk to either themselves or others, medication on occasion would then I suppose be a better solution than strait jackets for the individual. However what about the rest, who represent no risk to anybody? Do all these people really need to be placed on medication, either in the short term or worst case scenario for the rest of their lives, when through my experience it’s far better to work through yourself with the support of your family, without drugs clouding your thinking. Furthermore, why is the problem only getting worse? Psychiatrist’s claim that 1 billion people of the world’s 7 billion population (14.28%) will need to be medicated within the not too distant future. Rather than building their house on moving sand, should these professionals not be seeking to understand to true causebehind mental health disorders, instead of just medicating everyone which isn’t actually solving the problem?

Many physicists agree with the principle that there is powerful evidence of design, in the fine tuning of our universe. Our universe and its laws appear to be designed and tailored with the deliberate intention of supporting us. The fact that we exist on a planet which leaves very little room in terms of ‘nature’s margin of error’, casts immediate doubt on the argument that ‘chemical imbalances’ exist within the brains of 14.28% of us. Even if this were true, surely our society should be seeking to understand why chemical imbalances exist within the brains of a growing number of people in the first place, as surely prevention is always better than cure?, In a world in which our species has evolved successfully for thousands of years, rather than using chemical cocktails to try and pacify or subdue, the first logical place would surely be to start with potential outside influences upsetting the ‘apple cart’ of human behaviour? The first question in trying to tackle this issue should surely be why this is happening in the first place, is anyone in positions of power even asking this fundamental and most basic of questions? This is surely just common sense?

My investigation into this issue has lead me to consider that mental health medication could be the tip of the iceberg with regards to the mind altering chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis. I investigated the reasons why such chemical interference was occurring in our water, food and air, all of which being essential elements of life.

It’s a fact that infertility numbers among couples are on the rise, and have been on the rise for the last 50 years. Leading scientists have now confirmed that there are now more men in the reproductive ages of between 18 and 45 who have infertility problems, than have diabetes. I believe there to be a direct link between rising infertility levels, and the drugs and chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis. I needed to understand why this was happening, and why nothing was being done about it. Surely if a humble Quantity Surveyor can figure this out on his own, many others were also aware?

The Georgia Guide stones, or as they are sometimes referred to American Stonehenge, is a granite monument erected in 1979 in Elbert County, Georgia, approximately 90 miles east of Atlanta, and 9 miles north of Elberton. The stones are engraved in eight languages, English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindu, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Each language relays 10 new commandments for an age of reason. The stones also line up with certain astronomical features.

Of the 10 commandments, the first one is perhaps the most controversial, maintain humanity under 500,000,000 is perpetual balance with nature. That’s a reduction of the world population by over £6.5 Billion people. I was shocked that well financed groups clearly exist in our world with sinister objectives. I considered and tested the possibility that individual members of the same groups, placed in controlling positions within governments and corporations might be facilitating sinister objectives.

Many conspiracy theorists claim that the wars in our world are not really against flesh and blood, they are the result of the evil powers of this world, which is essentially spiritual wickedness in high places. The limits of debate are often established even before debate begins on this subject however, freethinkers opposing or questioning the system are often marginalised, or made out to have some sort of ‘mental illness’ simply because they believe something which the majority do not. The new ‘word’ is conspiracy, and we are trained to think that this word should not even be entertained, however why is it so hard to believe that powerful people might get together in order to plan events for their own personal gain, is this really so hard to believe in a world so dominated by greed and personal gain? Take one look at the exploits of the former mayor of Toronto Rob Ford, and you will soon see an example of individuals completely unqualified to hold positions of power. How are such people elected to lead their people and act as role models for our children? I have never seen an example of someone less suited to hold a position of power in my life. My investigation has lead me to one conclusion, that our world is a lot darker and sinister than the media and our governments lead us to believe, and the mental health debacle is just the tip of the iceberg.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

My experience

January 2013 was the beginning of an intensely traumatic period in my life; it was approximately 7 months later before I fully appreciated what had happened to me. Initially, I suspected the emotional turmoil I was experiencing to be a breakdown of some sort, as some of the symptoms I was experiencing were consistent with problems known to be associated with mental health disorders. Although some family members believed I should consult with a doctor, I was conscious that the most likely remedy which would be prescribed to a person in my condition would be mind altering medication. My instincts were telling me that such treatments were no good for me, and in my opinion the best way forward was to avoid any medication, or consultation with professionals. I needed to understand what was happening myself, without the opinions of professionals clouding what my own intuition was telling me. My own judgement had so far served me well in life, and I decided to rely on my own judgement on this occasion. I suspected there was more to my experience than simple ‘chemical imbalances’ in my brain, and I was determined to find out what that was.

I have always been the type of person who dreamed for more, and within time I have always achieved my ambitions, based firstly on my desires however also on what I believed to be possible. As I recall, I adopted this way of thinking from an early age. During childhood I was obsessed with keeping animals and birds, this obsession culminated in a collection of birds of prey, which I flew free using lures to exercise the birds daily during training sessions. Then, from my early teens I was dissatisfied with my physique, I sought ways to strengthen my body through weight training initially, and in the years that followed I played rugby for my school, then local town. By the age of 16 I was physically stronger than the majority of my peers, and having achieved my first real objective in life, I began to lose interest in physical pursuits. My interest in the opposite sex had by now taken the lead in terms of life’s purpose for me.

Whilst physical exercise was no longer my main interest, I did however appreciate the correlation between the two, whereby a few of the girls at my school seemed to appreciate my efforts. I continued training mainly for this reason, however I was now more motivated than ever before.

As I progressed into my 20’s it’s probably fair to say that I was enjoying myself more than most, and when I met Kara in 2003 my interest in socialising over a relatively short period of time disappeared completely. From my perspective, I had now achieved two primary objectives in my life; and my mind began moving in new directions as I searched for new focus in my life. I might have found satisfaction with my body, and found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with however I now desired the lifestyle of the wealthy. I was not content with 9 – 5 working, and also didn’t work well under authority. I always knew I would run my own business one day; however never had any idea what I would end up doing.

At the age of 19 I began work as an assistant Quantity Surveyor for a local practice. Although I found the work incredibly boring at first, for the 5 years that followed I learned a lot, understanding the construction industry and mastering my profession. Working for a small consultancy had its advantages, as I liaised with partners of the business on a daily basis. I believe this daily interaction strengthened my knowledge beyond that of others, who may have been employed in similar positions within larger firms.

After 5 years I moved on after obtaining my degree in Quantity Surveying, and over the next 12 years I worked for a range of companies for various periods of time ranging from 2 years, to only a few months. By now my dislike for being told what to do had only intensified. Working for various companies had resulted in an even greater understanding of my profession, and I had also learned to appreciate the difference between good and bad practice, without being told. Whilst still relatively young, when I found myself in situations whereby superiors were telling me things I knew to be either wrong, or a bad idea for whatever reason – I generally only lasted a few months with that company before moving on. Working on a freelance basis offered me the flexibility that I needed, so it worked well for a while.

When I began working freelance, Quantity Surveyors were in high demand. Over time however, ever increasing salaries driven by high demand and low supply resulted in many individuals entering the profession in pursuit of cash. At the beginning of my career, I played agencies off against each other, driving up rates as much as I could before accepting an offer. Kara (by now my wife) and I travelled the UK, working 6 month contracts here, 3 month contracts there and the resultant lifestyle was amazing. We had three holidays each year, and on top of that numerous weekend breaks. We eat in the best restaurants, and basically bought whatever our hearts desired. We eventually got tired of travelling around however, and decided to settle in the South West of England to start our family. I was all too aware that in order to sustain our lifestyle, I would need to work away from home in London or remote parts of Scotland whilst my family stayed at home, however I accepted there was little I could do at that time to change anything. I continued this unhappy existence travelling up and down the country and staying in hotels mid-week for several years, before working away from home began
