Sobering message from our troops...Become part of the solution to stop forced drugging and forward this story about Chad, a Marine Scout Sniper.
The U.S. Military Faces Psychiatric Death Threat
By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison
Chad was a Marine Scout Sniper who served two tours in Iraq. Upon being honorably discharged as a Sgt. in 2007, he "summoned the courage" to ask for therapy in dealing with the images and emotions that gnawed on him from being dropped into combat. Like so many of his peers, therapy was bypassed for "meds." Similar to fighting in Fallujah and Ramadi, he never expected that his life would be threatened by psychiatric drugs.
After a single day "of following doctor's orders," Chad felt things would be looking up. He was happy, seemed to be more cognizant, and the weight of daily struggles was lifted. But, as he describes it, things "quickly flip-flopped."
"As time passed, I began changing into someone I wasn't. Once a focused, motivated sniper, my reaction time became stagnant. My thought process became dry and lethargic, while my independence drifted. I became unable to make decisions on my own and reluctantly found myself relying on others in ways I had never done before. I had become a sort of medicated drone. All emotion turned into apathy and I found myself lackadaisical and eventually felt meaningless. That's where it got really bad for me, and it's hard to talk about now...It was as if my brain chemistry went whack."
This bleak scenario is becoming all too common for today's military. The psychiatric death threat is becoming riskier than combat! In 2010, Time magazine reported that, "During the month of January, more soldiers committed suicide than were killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan and Iraq combined." Mystified by the death toll among troops, Army Chief of Staff George Casey said that, "The fact of the matter is, we just don't know why suicides have increased."
The suicide trend is not inexplicable, and must be highlighted if troops like Chad are to be saved from the psychiatric death threat. Like the loss of power to a car that results from a broken fuse, mental circuitry is shut off with each and every dose of psychiatric medication. The latest cloning techniques and laboratory methods show this to be the result of "neurotransmitter hijacking," which scrambles brain circuitry, leaving users like Chad feeling "dry and lethargic," in times of deep emotional turmoil.
Once neurotransmitter hijacking takes place, users become fully under the spell of psychiatry. The brain can become so scrambled that all normal reality and reason are overwritten by a new confusing and violent agenda. A new personality arises – one with homicidal and suicidal tendencies. Commenting on the biochemical fiasco, CNN publicized that, "Antidepressant drugs actually create a perilous brain imbalance." Chad barely escaped.
"Rebounding on and off the drugs, I reached the darkest point in my life, strangely enough at home. I packed up my ghillie suit - the same thing I used to camouflage myself as a sniper in enemy territory - and hiked into the wilderness late at night, where no one would find me. I held my .45 cal pistol while attempting the unspeakable...many things raced through my mind, and at the forefront were feelings of worthlessness and my inability to relate to anyone, even myself. As a combat decorated Marine, it's not something I'm proud of. But it's a reality that seems to be more common among my peers, and it's scary as hell...To this day, I'm not sure what stopped me, probably an act of God. I walked backed vowing to reclaim my life - with everything I had. And, since my mental health declined so drastically since getting on the meds, I felt that getting off them was the first place to start."
No doubt, combat leads to emotional stress beyond what the rest of us can concede. Listening to the combat experience of Chad paints painful images in my own mind. It’s no wonder indelible scars are left on the minds of our troops. And rather than help them cope, they are being medicated to death in a large scale experiment that goes ignored. Former military psychiatrist, Dr. Grace Jackson, substantiated this stating that, "It’s really a large-scale experiment. We are experimenting with changing people's cognition and behavior."
Once off the medications, Chad's escape came from getting back to basics - really basic. He starts each day with rigorous exercise and ends it with a deep sleep, induced by L-tryptophan and valerian. His diet is fortified with whey isolate twice per day with meals that consist of unprocessed foods. Sugar and alcohol have been reduced to an absolute minimum. Sauna treatments are regular, and real therapy comes from writing and talking to others who share his experience, as well as giving back in the form of support. He knows his story is only "one of thousands" and that other veterans need help.
Today, Chad has earned his bachelor's degree - with honors - in a record 2.5 years. At the same time, he founded a Veterans center, which serves as a hub at his Alma mater to offer support in all matters that relate to being a vet. And when he can, he helps others heed his warning about the military death threat: "Psychiatrists under contract with the Veteran Affairs - in my opinion - are legal drug dealers who almost took my life."
