Dr. Deas right: 'It's not all in our minds'

Twenty-one years ago, I bought Dr Ramsey's little book and what he wrote then is so very relevant today and shows that even then the psychiatrists were at work with their misguided theories regarding CFS/ME, claiming that the illness "was all in our minds." I have also just read Jeremy Paxton and Robert Harris's book called, "A higher Form of Killing." All I can say is that it is governments that have caused most of the illnesses today.

I cannot believe the amount of money that has been spent on biological warfare programs by the U.S., U.K., Russia and China, etc. Western governments go on about Iraq and Iran and others having supplies of chemical (germ) warfare weapons, but since the second world war, Britain, the U.S and Canada not only polluted their own countries but have gone into other countries and spread the dangerous poisons there without their knowledge. (I believe the U.S. and U.K dumped a vast amount of these "chemicals" into a river after the second world war!) Our own government in 1980 funded a "7,000- acre chemical warfare 'battle run' training area in the Wiltshire hills alongside Porton Down," and had animals there that they experimented on-and on army volunteers who did die after fighting 40 years for compensation.

As to the foot and mouth episodes and the "mad cow disease" in humans, this has come from Porton Down. It is no wonder that in Britain, 18 million people where admitted to hospital in 2006. (Reported in a program on TV last night). That is nearly a third of the British population!

The next to the last page in Paxton's book states:"The talk now is of anti-biotic resistant germs, of 'stealth' viruses, genetically engineered to lie dormant in the human body until triggered by terrorists releasing an otherwise harmless chemical." (Or pesticides, vaccinations etc.-my opinion).

What makes me angry is the fact governments try to convince us that we have made ourselves ill by smoking (never smoked in my life), being overweight (been on steroids for 40 years) and we don't want to work. (I was a workaholic, doing my own decorating, gardening, etc. I loved work.).

Rant over, but it does make me wonder just where we are going and I fear for my children and grandchildren as well as mankind in general.
