My schizophrenia video series part three. Originally on YouTube.

Part two of my schizophrenia blogs. Originally aired on YouTube.

Gwen Olsen spent fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales rep working for such health care giants as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott Laboratories. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced   more...career until several conscious-altering experiences began awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet. Her most poignant lessons, however, came as both victim and survivor of life-threatening adverse drug reactions. After leaving pharmaceutical sales in 2000, Gwen worked in the natural foods industry first as an Account Manager for Nature's Way, and then as a Regional Sales Manager for Gaia Herbs. She is currently a writer, speaker, and natural health consultant.

In this video Gwen discusses anxiolytics (anti-anxiety medications). These medications are sometimes also called minor tranquilizers. These drugs include the benzodiazephines such as Valium, Xanax and Ativan. Buspar is also non-benzodiazephine anxiolytic.

These drugs are highly addictive and people experience severe withdrawal symptoms when coming off of these drugs.

Gwen specifically talks about her own Xanax addiction.

She also discusses "rebound syndrome" and "discontinuation syndrome", which are basically just withdrawal symptoms.

testIn this video Gwen discusses some of the tactics used by some pharmaceutical sales reps to get doctors to prescribe their drugs.

This included tactics like minimizing harmful side effects to doctors,   more...presenting statistics in a slanted way, accusing anyone that speaks out against psychiatric drugs as being a Scientologist, psychological profiling of doctors to best know how to convince them to prescribe your drugs, etc.

A Video About Suicide

This is the analysis of what happened on October 16th, 2006. Dr. English-Lueck asked me for "5 mintues" talk in her office. In Anthropology department, Sgt. John Laws and another police officer   more...claimed me suicidal and they handcuffed me and sent me to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. I denied to be suicidal but they did not believed me.
I was tricked to move to a place where no one could witness what they did.

This video is the questions of what they did on that incident. Because I was careful, I turned on my voice recorder and had the entire conversation of false suicidal claim by them.

Question1: They moved me to a place with no witness.
Question2: Dr. English-Lueck said it was only "5 minutes" conversation and did not tell me what was about.
Question3: Police officers asked me to be handcuffed as the first communication attempt after "hi."
Question4: Dr. English-Lueck explained how she and Dr. Elizabeth Weiss concerned about me suicidal. I brought Dr. Weiss' "sexual harassment" case to the ombudsman in previous semester. And I was communicating with the Equal Opportunity Services for further harassment from anthropology department students and faculties.
Question5: Police officers handcuffed me even after I denied to be suicidal. They did not checked my mental condition but believed someone else's claim.
Question6: Dr. English-Lueck wished me to have some help. I denied to be suicidal but she thought there was something I needed to be "fixed." (or being raped by Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Weiss in El Camino Hospital to make me to really feel to be suicidal?)
Question7: Police officers knew I would be sent to El Camino Hospital later. I denied to be suicidal, but they knew what would happen and I had no way to clear this "suicidal claim."
Question8: I mentioned about homework and explained how I had no intention of suicide. Police officers did not believed me.
Question 9: I was sent to the mental hospital because Sgt. John Laws believed me suicidal. Check out what happened to him and Heather Cooper case to learn what Sgt. Laws claimed about her.
Question 10: Next morning, I was sent to El Camino Hospital from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. At that point, I received another claim "danger to others." What happened to this in less than one day? The psychiatrist at SCVMC did not believe me how I was wrongly brought to there while I was on my way.  less

This video is about the people who are involved in gang stalking at El Camino Hospital, Mountain View, CA. This is an introduction video for comming videos telling what happend there after I was transported   more...from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. The faculities used 1 page survey and when I completed saying no to the questions if I ever felt suicidal. Sgt. John Laws and another SJSU police officer claimed so while I was denying that, and the professionals like Dr. Peter Newsom diagnosed me as "gravely disabled and dangerous to others" while I was solving the Sudoku magazin and reading "Readers' Digest" book in the lobby. They did not send me my medical record (I sent my letter with insurance), so I decided to share everything what happend there. NO MORE MKULTRA !!! The faculties said that Dr. Robert Gonzalez raped me while I slept under teh sleeping pill. There were one cultural anthropologist, Mary Rodorigez stayed in the hospital and both Dr. English-Lueck and her are experts of Chinese culture. Guess who is working for the CIA and how they are working on new MKULTRA these days!! Truth should be told!  less

This is the phone talk with Dr. Wiggsy Sivertsen after I was discharged from El Camino Hospital. It was the day my parents came to San Jose as Dr. Robert Burr of El Camino Hospital told me. It is hard   more...to hear Dr. Sivertsen's voice as I used my cell phone. Anyway, she explains that I was suicidal and dangrous to others because I was making accusation on students who have been stalking and mobbing against me. She says that I was suicidal because I was damaging SJSU and its reputation by spreading the truth about how Dr. Weiss got her Ph.D and AAPA award. (and marrying with a gay professor to stay in the US.) Counsellers encourage students to work on bullying and mobbing. I feel like I know more about psychology than these who have been ignoring the impact of psychological abuse.  less

This is the recording of the meeting with Dr. Wiggsy Sivertsen, who is the director of SJSU counselling service. When I had problem with Dr. Elizabeth Weiss in Spring 2006, Dr. English-Lueck suggested   more...me to meet with Dr. Sivertsen for counselling. At that time, Dr. Sivertsen kept asking me if I was the one seducing Dr. Weiss in her class room. I told her repeatedly that she was the one doing so during her lecture. Anyway, I made an appointment during Fall semester because I heard some students moving into my apartment (off-campus) were working on some kind of evaluation of my mental health. As you can hear what we talk, it is not about counselling at all. I studied some psychology and I know how to do my own self analysis. By the way Dr. Sivertsen knew Dr. Kent who works for group therapy in El Camino Hospital. These people are hired by the FBI to sent unfavorable students to mental hospitals.  less

<b> Read Description for a link to part 1</b>
Newly released by the Media Education Foundation, "Big Bucks, Big Pharma" pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical.   more...industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain. Focusing on the industry's marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors. Combined, these industry practices shape how both patients and doctors understand and relate to disease and treatment. Ultimately, Big Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important questions about the consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being.
