me. was. not. thirds are all almost all different medications that i've been on. this is chris. this is josh. and this is deborah.

but all stories stunts with disk i see. that was very likely when they when i think are merely past that interest asked so i got accepted to be the school i was huge for for for for a guy from a small town in russia i didn't need the most go in the water to do it all and to contour united states completely different culture. and felipe was the it was i opening experience because i learned about the world of finance and the great it will rule. the world war it's.

become clear that was working for we were doing what was called the health care and new kitchens. rich in reality was advertising for the huge pharmaceutical companies. whenever they come up with a new drug will have existing drug he would come up with a new place to advertise it will around the world. but i don't want to live with depression. i want to enjoy life again i feel this pain comes to. this guilt is always with me. depression may be a result of a chemical imbalance in your brain. don't turn

a bunch of problems for a prescription there's no need for you to feel bad anymore. it's ten pm friday i'm looking really needs something feels good my boss is because usually friday night. we do be going out to run something often not another did more for the music of it staying in the office for ten hours a day. denise now has a new view of his former job. a few years ago his life changed drastically and he has his reasons to help us make this film. last. and say good for you.

gracious. and. get your. life in this country and i think this guy's name is managed quite well today on. this work. it's day. to day he leaves his parents' house to go surfing this is life. well you got to use this go down the hill make a right and they were right there ok i will dislike you the minute. i meet all the crew. i want to know what i was. thinking. or twelve years old i was put on a drug called accutane with. an acne medicine that. blocks of. vitamin d.

. so that your skin would be not as oily i guess i don't know. unfortunately the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression. people who surrounded me and russia when i was growing up nobody was taking any kind of drugs and here i was surprised to hear or see even young people taking some kind of pills. to improve the mood or to get more energy i wasn't sure what was going on. and then when i got involved in this. in this world of the pharmaceuticals i saw you huge array of different drugs geared to different people to treat different conditions most of

which i've never heard before never forget where i'm like you know in a room and it's all mirrors and i'm wearing this like. red and black checkered hooded coat and you have to take these tests and like the metal desk with the metal chair in the mirror so you can't see anything with you in the room and then they take the paper away and then they're like observe your behavior posts and like obviously if you have nothing to do and you're a twelve year old kid or eleven year old kid you're going to be like messing around with whatever and. then they're like yeah well you know based on his behavioral pattern he has like eighty h.d. or eighty or whatever so they're like ok let's put you on. red let. i should be clear here really we're coming up with really. interesting i've retired. things

that would really make people think about taking these products and i. was. in the way it was a very creative work the agencies were doing i mean i was doing on financial part of it so i wasn't in was involved in the creative process but i could see what was going on and i was i saw the final the end products of all the work that we were doing. here is. the event what is. this. oh it is essential in concert oh larry has the word and that in the end that are. ok these are all prescribed actually children's hospital and laugh. it seems like clint kids have problems in school automatically the teacher wants to give them cancer treatments you know for years she wouldn't even jewett you know and then

each time he does it it's like oh hell breaks loose yeah. i had to leave me today referring to all of the medications as homework pills homework homework pills she said we're going to switch your home are hellholes when you're home from school and that someone that he was on for just a week because it literally made him into a zombie is crazy. you know they always say that they want to reunify kids with their parents us out their gold to keep the kids from their parents but when i worked in the children's system . they did everything possible to make it hard on the parents to get their kids back late tonight and they drive an hour and i have just seen my son.

i met somebody who got really close to a personal level and this person shared her story with me rich was pretty dramatic . taking. pretty hardcore psychotropic drugs by prescription since pretty early age and she really got me in this research because i never took it seriously before because i didn't have any personal experience but being with someone. who depends on those drugs doesn't just know a lot about this drug but physically depends on. the really involved. from

the what the do. for forty years. i got. my wife and i were on the run. we were turned ourselves standing to ourselves right now are doing good here's the problem that it takes a long time to get rid of. the

. country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think and we've got to hit the road and get out to traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the genius to this is the quintessential american hero this is it we've come a point around which hollywood has gone something we always are on the margins something. called culture has meaning for you because. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gonzo than this maybe completely different but in this job. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. some want to be.

the two going to be pros this is what will before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the winds and our. guests are. joining me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. buy this thing that like that society is like this no longer trying to push children and people to like me except the problems that they have inside themselves that they have pushed so i can. take this pill and it'll all go away.

and this is before you think for a second this lot this printer he got he was signed. in this is after. about two years after he can see his wrists just. those last year of my brother's wedding he was able to hold our youngest daughter for just a few minutes so i got that picture that his wrists are twisted that's the snow he had. found out here in this picture of his last words say it's ransom out and he would be able to hold our baby for a few minutes sure. so

when we watch t.v. to find. how long it's. this is joe ish his wife amy and their five children. basically what i do on a daily basis is i just i just pace and i pace and i pace and i pace. and i don't ever get. really from piecing but. it's the only i can do if i don't pace. and i said it makes everything a lot worse and the pain inside. gets worse. my movements get worse and i have to sit still or even stand still so.

pacing to me is pretty important silly. silly i can do. start a new job. and i was feeling some things id. cool the press so that's when i got on that's when i got an effects are. and a few days after after that is when i started feeling that inner pain feeling i had to get out of my own skin.

so my personal interest in seeing this doctor is there on two. years ago or so locked into a person who is addicted to psychotropic drugs and dr peter bergen is one of the very few people there if you specialist he is the wisest psychiatrist mystic students of all almost fifty years. who'd never produce never prescribes psychotropics rights to his clients. united states look at world know how to do it correctly and most importantly. how to. break the addiction. do we even greater damage to the person. so i think we're all going to learn something very valuable. after we see this doctor about one.

leaning on him like a hospital family where he can. make for a celeb so you can have his legs in the air because that's how he comfortable a slacker. my mom didn't know what he did since he. believes that. his name is side it's from like a redneck tape reality show and. we charge people who say they didn't. read it and it's a good. think you were. before.

and so the parent naturally wants to go like i want to help like it and then the doctors i can help her kid are here on pill or her pill. and i pills are making happy. and they're not actually making their kids understand anything other than like rather than deal with who i am as a human being and in my soul and my spirit i just can't take this pill so that i don't have to. learn about myself i was. i was a punk rocker and. i was called gutter punk and basically lived on the streets just doing whatever i wanted to do this is chris once a heroin addict he's no hooked on medication he came to see this with his girlfriend irene. this is his parents' house. the room that he was then and has to do with his ark of

the user and everything was so small that we couldn't fit two more people in to film and that's how small of a place. that. they . split to take it. every eight hours three times a day. and the one with. the leg room added

to little ground zero point five. feeling depressed we have something that might help check with your doctor go to your doctor and ask for whatever the drug it's. one of the things we've become expert at is how they manipulate their results to make it so that it doesn't look like there was much suicidality for instance. i always thought people who killed themselves or we're. well i can't lower the other day like this but i almost killed myself.

and i find myself doing things and see things that i don't mean. if there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. and my thoughts and the things that i say one of the documents that we've got while we were working on some of the suicidal. behavior drugs for certain re uptake inhibitors one of their internal scientists roger lane said it's not so much that they're committing suicide they're at their death as a welcome alternative to that how uncomfortable it is to go through at these you know. that document does not get placed in.

the medical journals doesn't get placed on t.v. doesn't get place in radio ads or or. newspaper ads or magazine ads but that is a documented scientist inside one of these major pharmaceutical companies saying that we have a problem here concerned out. of respect all. vyvanse. are all. things i mean zoloft. he was also given hydrocodone for pain and the oxy code known for pain. and. and a man of course. so

when i got off the drug and wanted to like give blood to. you know help people or whatever but it's like you couldn't give blood after taking accutane for six years after taking that drug. so that gives you any indication of how strong and that are i guess six years you can give blood. because of the the what steers blood system or about what i.

believe the money to take you're. right the game that's scary thirty dog. they tell stories about my dogs. and. specially so. she's thirteen. she's a sweet. what do you think she doesn't see much here much. but she smells really good the smell. we know from monkey studies is just how the means work when we give them to children in the monkeys the monkeys stop socializing they stop hugging and kissing they stop trying to escape from their cages they become good caged animals so we're making good. schools but the parents don't get this.

and he said i feel like i can't stop shuffling my feet. it's hard to explain it feels like. being persecuted. being tortured. but it's happening inside of my body. so there's nowhere. there's no words to run. you want to make sure that the quality is not just a slogan of misery but it also is associated with the rise in this believe how can you have a rise in this stuff. by having just people who are rich saving investing
