Top Psychiatric Researcher Dr. Biederman Caught Lying about $1.6
Million in Drug Money; Performed Medical Experiments on Children
by Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) Harvard University's Dr. Joseph Biederman has been a
loyal soldier in the battleground for chemical control over children's
minds. A highly-influential researcher at Harvard University, Dr.
Biederman spearheaded a 4000% increase in the diagnosis of pediatric
bipolar disorder from 1994 to 2003, resulting in billions of dollars
in revenues for drug companies and millions of children being put on
mind-altering medications. Now, thanks to an investigation by the
office of Sen. Charles Grassley and a damning report published in the
New York Times, it has been revealed that Dr. Biederman lied about the
amount of money he received from drug companies -- a figure that may
exceed $1.6 million.

In the conflict-of-interest documents submitted to Harvard Medical
School, Dr. Biederman vastly underreported funds received from
multiple drug companies. In one instance, he reported a payment from
Johnson & Johnson of just $3,500 when, in reality, company records
show J&J paid him $58,169 in one year alone (2001). Before this story
went public, Dr. Biederman sought to modify his conflict-of-interest
records, and when pressed by Sen. Grassley's investigators, he made
retroactive changes showing an additional $1.6 he had previously
failed to disclose. These disclosure might never have happened if Sen.
Grassley's investigators had not started asking questions about the
financial links between drug companies and Dr. Biederman.


Psychiatric doctor violates federal law
Failing to disclose such large sums of money in conflict-of-interest
forms is a violation of federal law, and if the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) applies existing rules and regulations in responding to
these charges, it could deny all future grants to the organization
that provided additional funding to Dr. Biederman: Massachusetts
General Hospital, which administered $287 million in grants in 2005.
The NIH requires researchers to report earnings over $10,000 per year
on conflict-of-interest forms.

But rather than being arrested for criminal behavior, Dr. Biederman
and another colleague caught in the same financial scandal have been
"referred to a university conflict committee for review," reports the
New York Times. In other words, their punishment might consist of
nothing more than sitting on a couch in a room with other corrupt
psychiatric industry leaders who will discuss the issue and do nothing
in response. (Dr. Biederman will likely not even be fired from his
job...)

What this latest scandal reveals is just how corrupt and dishonest
today's psychiatric industry has become. When top researchers are
largely funded by drug companies -- and they consistently lie about
their financial ties to those companies -- it is clear that integrity
and honesty have been abandoned in favor of disease mongering, drug
pushing and corporate profits.

The psychiatric industry, in particular, has repeatedly relied on
scientific fraud, financial corruption and grave intellectual
dishonesty to ensnare a nation of children with dangerous prescription
medications that have turned out to cause diabetes, weight gain,
suicides and violent behavior. Even though these drugs are harming
children, psychiatric researchers like Dr. Biederman continue pushing
fictitious diseases like "bipolar disorder" and "ADHD" in an effort to
engineer demand for Big Pharma's high-profit pills. In return, Big
Pharma pays money to Dr. Biederman and other corrupt, intellectually
dishonest researchers who keep beating the drum for more pills,
increasingly labeling every living human being as suffering from
mental health disorders that demand chemical "treatment."

As part of his drug-pushing efforts, Dr. Biederman has openly
advocated non-approved uses of mind-altering drugs on children,
encouraging doctors to prescribe pills for various so-called
"disorders" even though no FDA approval has ever been granted for
using those mind-altering medicines on children. This didn't stop Dr.
Biederman, though, from openly pushing for the widespread prescribing
of drugs for such "off-label" conditions, including their use on
infants and very young children. Thanks in large part to Dr.
Biederman's apparently financially-motivated efforts, sales of drugs
used to treat "bipolar disorder" doubled from 2003 to 2006.


Recruiting Four-Year Olds for Medical Experiments
Dr. Biederman isn't merely on the take from drug companies, he's also
actively engaged in using children as young as four years old for
medical experiments. His current recruitment efforts attempt to round
up four- to six-year olds and dose them with Astrazeneca's Seroquel
drug to see what might happen to their brains.

This kind of testing of powerful psychotropic drugs on four-year olds
is being pursued, of course, to try to convince doctors that young
children need mind-altering drugs just like adults, thereby creating
new, lucrative markets for the drug companies that sell such drugs.
But rather than proving that four-year olds suffer from "brain
chemistry disorders" that need chemical treatment, what Dr. Biederman
has really demonstrated is that psychiatric researchers suffer from
their own form of madness -- a kind of mental disorder that allows
them to perform chemical experiments on very young children, all while
accepting millions of dollars from drug companies as payment for their
disease mongering efforts.

This was, perhaps, the same kind of madness that allowed Bayer's
researchers to perform medical experiments on captured Jews in Nazi
German's concentration camps. It is a historical fact that drug
companies have routinely used children, blacks, minorities and women
for their medical experiments, usually in an effort to create "new
marketing opportunities" so they could sell more dangerous
prescription medications. See the NaturalNews historical timeline of
medical experiments on humans here: http :// www .naturalnews,com /019189.html


The Madness of Modern Psychiatry (Opinion)
The actions of Dr. Biederman, in my opinion, demonstrate the level of
evil at work in the psychiatric industry today -- an industry based on
scientific fraud, willful deception and deeply-rooted evil combined
with a shocking disrespect for the value of human life. Sen. Charles
Grassley's investigation reveals that not only is Dr. Biederman a
liar, but he is a criminal, too, who violates the very federal rules
that were designed to shed light on under-the-table payments between
drug companies and researchers. The actions of Dr. Biederman speak
volumes about not only the psychiatric industry, but also the level of
corruption and scientific dishonest that is openly tolerated by
Harvard Medical School and the National Institutes of Health.

I'm willing to wager large sums of money that none of the
organizations involved in this scandal will take any real, decisive
action to have Dr. Biederman fired or blacklisted from the industry.
His "work" (if you can call it that) is too important to the profits
of the drug companies that wield powerful influence over the key
players in this industry. Most likely, Dr. Biederman will simply be
told, "Don't get caught again" and allowed to continue running medical
experiments on children, exploiting the bodies of young children for
Big Pharma's gain.

I'm sure that Dr. Biederman does not consider himself to be mad, or
cruel, or even corrupt. But every madman throughout human history,
including Hitler, has justified his own inhumane actions as a way of
bringing a brighter future to the world. Hitler believed he was
creating a world of order, led by a superior race. Similarly, Dr.
Biederman likely believes that by medicating young children with mind-
altering drugs, he is giving them "treatment" that results in
"normalized" brain function. Virtually all madmen operate with the
same pattern of psychosis, usually paired with ambitions of domination
over others. Hitler dominated with artillery and bullets. Dr.
Biederman dominates with chemical weapons that attack the brain,
resulting in a kind of chemical molestation of children. Both are
cruel, inhumane and, in my view, crimes against humanity.

Besides, four-year olds who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder aren't
suffering from pharmaceutical deficiencies in the first place. They're
suffering from junk food diets, widespread chemical toxicity (from
personal care products), dangerous food additives, dangerous
medication side effects, vaccination effects, violent TV programming
and a public health system that believes only in treating symptoms of
disease and not teaching parents how to raise healthy children at all.
To make our children healthy, we must first start with what they eat.
Change the food served in public schools (and private homes), and so-
called mental health disorders simply disappear. Virtually every
disorder or disease known in modern psychiatry is a result of bad
nutrition combined with poisoning from chemicals or heavy metals. (And
guess what dentists keep putting into the mouths of children? Mercury
fillings!)

While Dr. Biederman and the drug companies want to diagnose infants,
children and teens with various brain chemistry disorders that require
medication "treatment," they openly ignore the real root of the
problem: Nutrition, exercise, natural sunlight, and the elimination of
toxic chemicals from foods, drugs and home environments. I think Dr.
Biederman and others in the psychiatric industry have no real interest
whatsoever in helping children be healthy; they merely want to ensnare
as many as possible in a chemical medication scheme that enriches
themselves and the drug companies, even while children's brains are
being permanently altered in dangerous ways by these synthetic
medications.


Help Stop Dr. Biederman from Harming More Children
You can help put an end to this chemical tyranny and the harming of
children with psychiatric drugs by joining NaturalNews in demanding
that Dr. Biederman be fired from his job and banned from receiving any
future federal grants. There are three key organizations that you can
contact to write a letter of outrage about Dr. Biederman's deceptive
behavior and criminal actions against children. They are:

Harvard Medical School
http :// hms.harvard.edu/hms/contact.asp
Direct your e-mails or letters to the Standing Committee on Conflicts
of Interest and Commitments

Mass. General Hospital
http :// www .massgeneral.org/contact.html
This is the hospital that has awarded Dr. Biederman with grant money.

National Institutes of Health
http :// www .nih.gov/about/contact.htm
This is the huge government-run grant-giving organization that uses
taxpayer dollars to fund such medical experiments on children. When
you write the NIH, demand that they stop providing funding to
psychiatric researchers who conduct medical experiments on children.


CCHR Fights to End the Tyranny of Modern Psychiatry
You should also know about the CCHR, the Citizens' Commission of Human
Rights, a non-profit organization in California that fights to ban the
psychiatric practices pursued by Dr. Biederman and others. Visit www .CCHR.org
(I've also donated 10% of the author royalties on my book, Natural
Health Solutions, to this organization to help them fight the
psychiatric industry.)

If you really want to see something shocking, watch the trailer for
this documentary called Psychiatry, an Industry of Death. You will be
absolutely stunned, shocked at what you see the psychiatry industry
doing today. Dr. Biederman's crimes against children, you see, are
just the tip of the iceberg. This industry has permeated society,
labeling virtually everyone with fictitious diseases and disorders,
all in an effort to convince people that they are "sick" and they need
to be medicated for life with powerful psychotropic drugs that just
happen to enrich the drug companies -- the very same drug companies
that pay the top psychiatric researchers millions of dollars in
speaking fees, gifts and other thinly-veiled bribes.

What you are witnessing here is the tip of a scandal so large, so
devastating, and so dangerous that it threatens the livelihoods and
every single infant, adult and senior citizen living in Western
society today. It is so dangerous, in fact, that merely speaking out
against psychiatric medicine is, itself, considered a mental disorder
and can get you committed to an insane asylum and forcibly medicated
against your will.

Help NaturalNews stop this medical tyranny. You can help us by voicing
your disgust with the actions of Dr. Biederman and calling for him to
be at least fired from his job, if not arrested and prosecuted for his
crimes against children.

I find it bewildering, by the way, that we will arrest child molesters
who physically violate a child's body and cause harm, but at the same
time, this society does absolutely nothing to arrest a psychiatric
doctor who chemically violates a child's body and mind, leaving mental
scars that are every bit as damaging as physical ones. Isn't it time
to stop psychiatry from harming our children, from using them as
medical experiments, and from treating a child like a marketing
opportunity to be exploited by Big Pharma?

Join me in protesting this industry and its corrupt, dishonest leaders
who threaten the health and safety of an entire generation. Our
children will simply not be safe as long as drug-based psychiatry
remains tolerated in our society. It is time to end this medical
monstrosity and stop the chemical molestation of our children.


Witness the Depth of Corruption in Modern Psychiatry
Finally, I'm going to show you something absolutely jaw-dropping here.
To see just how much the psychiatric industry admires the drug-pushing
campaigns of Dr. Biederman, and to see the depth of entanglement and
corruption in this industry, read this description of his
"achievements" listed on the websites of the Mass. General Hospital.
It reveals that Dr. Biederman -- now an admitted liar and violator of
federal conflict-of-interest laws -- is truly one of the most powerful
and influential researchers in the field of psychiatry, and he
directly influences the publication of numerous so-called "medical
journals" (which are really just propaganda rags parading as
scientific journals.)

Among the awards that have been given to Dr. Biederman are "Best
Doctors in America" and the CHADD "Hall of Fame" (CHADD is a front
group for Big Pharma that pushes psychiatric medication for children).

Here's the full description (read it and weep):

Dr. Biederman has been the recipient of the American Psychiatric
Association Blanche Ittelson Award for Excellence in Child Psychiatric
Research, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Charlotte Norbert Rieger Award for Scientific Achievement. He has been
inducted into the CHADD "Hall of Fame". Dr Biederman has also been
selected every year since its inception into the "The Best Doctors in
America" compilation of the best physicians in the country. From
1985-1995 Dr. Biederman served as Co-Chair of the Work Group on
research, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He is
mentor to more than 12 junior investigators in the field. Dr.
Biederman is on the editorial board of multiple journals, a reviewer
for most of the Psychiatric journals, and has served as a grant
reviewer in the Child Psychopathology and Treatment Review Committee
of the NIMH. He is the author and co-author of close to 500 papers,
scientific articles, 70 book chapters and more than 450 scientific
abstracts. In 2000, D
