User:Mark v1.0



Hi my name is Mark. I`m working on wikipedia to try to make a better world. A better world comes from science and facts that can be substantiated.

An English test is the ability to say and understand the following sentence."It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though."



This is a category of Wikipedia editors who are open to be slapped with a trout if they ever act in a foolish, or trollish way.

Wikipedia articles I have created
 * Nazi doctors (physicians) Messed up since December 20, 2022 when the list was changed to the order of the first name. Totally stupid. Too many edits afterwards prevent an easy revert.
 * Rapides du Cheval Blanc
 * Régie du logement the Quebec (Canada) rental board. They changed their name to Tribunal administratif du logement.
 * Criminal Thomas Ray Lippert doctor of Law possibly
 * Brian Sinclair (patient)
 * Therese Schroeder-Sheker

Being neutral
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice", a line from the band Rush, song "Freewill"

“Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. ”― Paulo Freire

"Neutrality is not the average between bollocks (a fiction) and reality. In science, any compromise between a correct statement and an incorrect statement, is an incorrect statement." User:JzG, November 2019. JzG thanks user:Stephan Schulz for the statement  on his page.

Wikipedia conflicts I have had with other editors
I have had three notable conflicts. UPDATE : The other editor claims humans were not experimented on, when it was common at that time. SEE Dr. Manfred Sakel He invented insulin shock therapy from 1927 to 1933.// Dr. Henry Cotton (doctor)"He ...practiced experimental surgical bacteriology on patients, including the routine removal of some or all of patients' teeth, their tonsils, and frequently spleens, colons, ovaries, and other organs."// Dr.Julius Wagner-Jauregg Who injected patients with malaria-infected blood and received a Nobel prize.// Dr. Walter Jackson Freeman II "Despite a 14 per cent fatality rate, Freeman performed 3,439 lobotomies in his lifetime. "and received a Nobel prize. Source theguardian.com.// Dr. Robert Galbraith Heath He placed wires into the deep brain of his patient. The wires received and transmitted electricity.// Dr. Eugen Steinach [https://books.google.ca/books?id=k6vZ2bb54nUC&lpg=PA113&dq=muhsam%2520testicles%2520homosexual&pg=PA113#v=onepage&q=muhsam%2520testicles%2520homosexual&f=false Who performed testicle transplantation experiments. Gay men were castrated, then given “heterosexual” testicles.”]
 * 1) I had to say the number nine is not the same as the number seven. In Seven deadly sins.

 * 3) I had entry of mine deleted because the other editor could not read, or did not want to read the word "experiment". In William Grey Walter.

The method by which POV Warriors fight at Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Carrite#The_method_by_which_POV_Warriors_fight_at_Wikipedia

1. Try to delete it.

2. If that fails try to delete it again.

3. Try to hide it — this works with text in articles where you stick the stuff you don't like in the most obscure corner of the article where no one will see it.

4. If you can't hide it, try to rephrase it in a way which is favorable to your side.

5. If you can't rephrase it, slap it up with tags to make it look "dubious" and "controversial" and "fringe."

6. If it's shown tags are unwarranted then make it seem controversial by "attributing" the text. I.e., every piece of text you don't like starts with "According to (if you can put something dubious here do it) X, ..." whereas every piece of text you agree with is given in Wikipedia voice.

7. If possible try to insert just plain ol' bad grammar, bad writing edits into the section you disagree with so that it will "look like" it was written by a 7 year old, i.e. not credible.

8. Wait a month or two and then try to quietly do 1 again. At worst you just go through the list again and "correct" anything you missed.

Evidence based psychiatry
I had an entry removed from evidence based medicine. As this is my user page, I am going to UN-delete it to here.

On the talk page, in the debate before the deletion, the following was written... " the financial links of the DSM4 panel are completely out of place and have nothing to do with the topic of the article. Sutefu "

I wrote back

"the financial links to the DSM are directly linked, because what happens after a psychiatric diagnosis? The (voluntary) patient gets a prescription to fill out at the pharmacy."

Additional: In involuntary psychiatry, the patient is forced to take drugs prescribed by a psychiatrist.

UPDATE: March 25, 2015. I had forgotten to include "publication bias". Researchers only publish successful studies to support the approval and selling of a drug.

_________________________ The Entry________________________ Evidence based psychiatry is questioning the efficacy of psychopharmacological treatments.

In the years 1933 to 1945, Psychiatrists and Nazi doctors in Nazi Germany provided a scientific foundation for Hitler's racist policies. Dr Müller-Hill published a book on the subject in 1988 called "Murderous science".

In the year 2006, financial links between the DSM4 panel members and the pharmaceutical industry was made public.

In the year 2008, the media reported on ineffectiveness of antidepressants, research done by Irving Kirsch. UPDATE 2022 "The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0

In the year 2010, Leon Eisenberg and Laurence B. Guttmacher wrote a report claiming science was overruled by monetary interests. A review of the last 100 years of psychiatry. In the year 2013, Amit Etkin, Anett Gyurak and Ruth O'Hara (Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Psychology, Stanford University), wrote a paper about improving the cognitive functioning of the mentally ill by using neuroimaging and neuroscience. In the United Kingdom there exists a group called the Council for Evidence-based Psychiatry (C.E.P.). The group members are Dr. James Davies, Professor Peter C. Gøtzsche, Professor Peter Kinderman, Dr. Joanna Moncrieff, Dr. Philip Thomas, Dr. Sami Timimi, and others. They have published their criticism in The Lancet Psychiatry.

Author Robert Whitaker wrote a book Anatomy of an Epidemic that also questions the efficacy of psychiatric treatments. His main points are


 * The rate of incidence of mental illness has increased from 3.38% in 1955 to 18.6% today (2012).


 * As reported in 2006 the seriously mentally ill died about twenty five years younger than the population as a whole, often due to cardiovascular disease, substance abuse, obesity, or a combination. In previous research, it was believed the mentally ill had a ten year shorter life span (page 11 of PDF ).


 * Studies document progressive brain volume reductions in psychiatric patients, when historically there was no noticeable pathological difference between a normal brain and a schizophrenic one.

Additional: The researches only publish trials that support efficacy and repeat the trial several times to get favourable results. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa065779 "Selective Publication of Antidepressant Trials and Its Influence on Apparent Efficacy" January 17, 2008 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMsa065779. http://clinpsyc.blogspot.ca/2008/03/effexor-beats-ssris-kind-of-sort-of-in.html "Effexor Beats SSRIs (Kind of, Sort of, In a maybe meaningless way...)"

To keep in my head when being sold lies.(about psychiatry)

___________
 * C = Cause and effect does not exist, once the patient is drugged or withdrawing from drugs. The psychiatrist claims the person is ill, when it can be argued it is the drugs effects on the person that is creating and continuing the "bad/wrong" behaviour (judged as mental illness). The doctors complain of the stupid people (a lack of insight), when the doctor can create the stupidity with the drugs they prescribe (for the psychiatric diagnosis). A feedback loop of seeking an external (drug) fix, for an internal (cognitive) problem.
 * If indeed psychiatry is making stupid people more stupid and then keeping them stupid on drugs, then psychiatry would be "bandits" in Carlo M. Cipolla's "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity"

__________________
 * B = Brain Damage. Numerous studies prove the psychiatric drugs damage the brain. The brain is where reason comes from. If the person lacks insight into their "wrong" behaviour/actions, it can be from the brain damage induced by a doctor. This lack of intelligence can make people unable to perceive what their problem is, and if they themselves can not perceive the problem then they have no motivation or reason to change."Neuroleptics in Progressive Structural Brain Abnormalities in Psychiatric Illness." Madsen, A. The Lancet. OR the drugs damage the (physical) ability of the person to control themselves. See "Neuroleptic-Induced Supersensitivity Psychosis." Chouinard, G. American Journal of Psychiatry.

Patients develop Tardive dyskinesia from the psychiatric drugs. TD brain damage produces involuntary movements and behavior that makes a person look crazy to "normal" people.

UPDATE Dec. 2020. TD is so prevalent that there are now drugs/medicines advertised on TV for people who suffer from the condition. Some people are critical of the treatment drugs and make the brain damage worse.

Conclusion

Who is insane? "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Believing in magical pills (medication), instead of using reason (communication) and confrontation of perceived problems is insane. Why is the "mentally ill" person not confronted on the problem(s)? The fear of violence (from the one being questioned), so a magical pill is used. Or the work and discipline needed to change (why does a person want to change?) is too large. Or the person is stupid or an idiot and can not see their error for their stupidity. Declining intelligence. To medicate stupid people even more stupid is not the correct answer.

_______

Authority must impose their will onto their subjects to get them to change into what authority wants. In the past those in power could use corporal punishment, but today (overt) violence is not permitted by society. Today authority uses "medicine" (covert violence) to try to get their subjects to do what they want.

And the people do believe the drugs are medications, so all is well.

The children do believe they are ill for not being a perfect machine and need medication for their human faults. Do I love my parents/caregivers? I must take my medicine.

When will the confidence trick end? When their is no more money. Or when the sick outnumber the healthy?
