An Coras Leighis/De Medicinae et Medicamenti Naturalis

The political obituary of Ms Kathleen Lynch will record that she was the inarticulate, awkward orchestrator of political-medical terror in the south. She is trying to reintroduce large-scale psychiatric institutions under the rubric of public welfare like the scheming Maoists, Bairbre de Brun and Gerry Adams,  in the North before they were told to clear off to somewhere else at risk of prosecution for perverting the course of justice. These Marxist terrorists have a former Workers Party member in the south to campaign for Community Menta l Health Teams. There is no democratic demand for these patently undemocratic apparatchiks and parasites outside of the lunatic fringe of the Irish Secret Service. Marxists and Nazi psychopaths have traditionally used nefarious means to suppress opposition such as special psychiatric hospitals in the Soviet Union and murder in German psychiatric hospitals by doctors on the basis of deranged denunciations. Kathleen Lynch falls into...

“[W]here the soul is divided from the spirit… judge the secret emotions and thoughts…” Perhaps there is some truth in ancient Syriac-Antiochan Greek philosophy in discernment of the spirit (the will to do something), the soul (the sense of right and wrong), the heart (the emotional sense and intuition) and the mind (the rational capacity weighing gains and risks). The Japanese in the 1970’s discerned only two states-emotions and reason. Perhaps, there can be some weight given to the conflict between mind and emotions… schizophrenia. When the mind and spirt are in conflict there is internal turmoil and the danger of self-immolation. Best treated not by drugs but by life although psychotropic medication does keep self-destructive character conflict in check and takes the edge off suicidal ideaisation. Life changes. People change. History runs its course, conflicted minds mend without intervention and problems with self-conflict slip away like snow off a ditch… That sai...

An old shamanistic or pagan wisdom hold that “The body knows instinctively what it needs for healing”. This is overridden by modern medicine in a lot of cases and by female practitioners who believe in a one size fits all approach. This is symptomatic of the volubility of female doctors. In the 1930’s a non descript penman in Oxford coined the term intuitionism which is summed up “Man’s ways cannot change folk ways”. Always trust your instinct! Incidentally, “Never go to a doctor unless you know what is wrong with you” as my mother used to say. St. Paul counsels us not to meddle in other people business-advice doctors would do well to listen to. He also subscribes to the practice of “a strong rebuke” to correct deviant behaviour.

Schizophrenia-the origins of the cult (2017) The word of God is alive and active! It cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely. It can slip through the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, or joints from the marrow; it can judge the secret emotions and thoughts.   Hebrews 4: 12-14 Jesus is capable of ‘feeling our weaknesses’  and discerning the contradictions between mental and divine states. He is the only psychiatrist of worth. Bleuler in the era of Austria proto-Nazism and anti-semitism discerned" split consciousness" and arrogated to himself the ability to discern psychological states. He thereby took on the role of God and like all his apostate followers developed a new anti-Christian cult. Bleuler’s starting point was syphilis, an illness that crippled many in the years before antibiotics and which took on many phantom forms(Dr. Thomas Szasz,Schizophrenia,Sacred Symbol of Psychiatry,Syracuse University Press) Bleuler was a crank...

Psychiatry: The middle-class burden On "Future Tense" on RTE Radio One on the 1st October,  a journalist  introduced a magazine programme on scientific developments. Amongst the reports was one item on the latest research into "schizophrenia". It appears that medical researchers in the South are modifying their "theory" of the causes of schizophrenia. They now claim that the part of the brain which produces dopamine at the rear, receives its signal from an area at the front of the brain.  Their hypothesis that this signal from the front of the brain triggers the production of dopamine (the so-called  "anxiety transmitter"). Psychiatrists since the 1920's have based their "treatment" of "mental illness" on the unproven hypothesis that there is a chemical imbalance. This casting around for an excuse for medical "interventions" is a source of interest and income for middle class doctors, biochemists and thei...

A Note on a State Functionary Dr. Diana Day - Cody has featured in our little bulletin in her capacity as a consultant psychiatrist at the Tyrone and Fermanagh Hospital. When not trying to enlist the support of trade unionists for her crimes, she takes to the streets of Enniskillen to stalk her prey in the company of Constable Ian Gillespie of our unreformable police. Perhaps her ministrations and those of Gillespie would be better directed at Wills, Morrow, Miller, Southam and Taggart who broke the windows of socialists in Ferney Rise between 1992 and 1995. Mr. Gillespie was the RUC's Community (?!?) Constable in that area at the time.

The Crisis in the Health Service and a few pages from the last days of Lenin. The Guardian of the 6th April 2002 carries an article on the crisis in the Health Service. In 1997, the waiting list for inpatient treatment in English hospitals consisted of 1158004 persons. This was at the time the Labour administration took over from the Tories. At the end of February 2002, there were 1050000 patients awaiting non-emergency admission for treatment. After five years of rhetoric, Blair, Brown and Co had succeeded in reducing waiting lists by 10804. (It should be noted that only 1900 of the total awaiting in-patient treatment had waited for more than fifteen months). Blair, in his pre-election speeches, finally promised to raise health spending per head of population to the European average of 2000 euros annually. (The Irish Republic spends 1500 euros annually per capita on health According to David Begg of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions). During the closing years of his active...

Marxist Philosophy - dialectics and materialism (2001) 'Dialectical materialism' is a phrase coined by Engels in the 1890"s to describe Marx's approach to philosophy. However to understand Marxist philosophy it is better to approach the problem with the understanding that dialectics is an analytical method and historical materialism is a method of socio-economic analysis. Marx learned dialectics from Hegel who discovered the method in his book, Logic. Dialectics is based on the theory of Subject, Predicate and Object. Like a sentence dialectics posits three component parts. Marx differed from Hegel in that he did not put the Idea at the centre of understanding Being. Marx maintained that the material world shapes consciousness, not vice versa. The theory of dialectics is that a subject is transformed by a new set of facts, ideas or circumstances into its opposite. It is when we apply this method to history that we find the origin of dialectical materialism. T...

27th August '97 What's happening in the Health Service? Sperrin Lakeland Health and Social Services Trust is a health authority in the North covering the sprawling area of Fermanagh and mid -Tyrone.It caters for the health needs of tens of thousands of people. In 1959, Enoch Powell, the then Tory Minister of Health decried psychiatric hospitals as "barbaric institutions" and set a semi-anarchist agenda of closing them down. This was the government reaction to the development of the first generation of medication for mental illness. Malcolm Moss the Northern Ireland Minister for Health reaffirmed this objective before the Tories were so belatedly turfed out of office. Today management is conniving at the closure of the Tyrone and Fermanagh Psychiatric Hospital in Omagh, a hospital which once catered for over one thousand patients. The days are clearly gone when unmarried mothers were thrown into hospital for "moral insanity" by well paid doctors but...

PSYCHIATRY IN FERMANAGH In our first article "Psychiatry and Socialism" we established that psychiatry has no basis in the natural sciences. Now we will look at psychiatrists in action in one rural area in Ireland, Fermanagh.  The psychiatrists in charge of the case-lists in Fermanagh are Dr Diana Day-Cody and Dr Patrick Manley who are both consultants at the Tyrone and Fermanagh Hospital in Omagh. Since her arrival on the scene in July 1992, Dr Day-Cody has left a trail of death and destruction through Fermanagh. Sixteen of her patients have died through suicide, heart attacks and avoidable incidents. Her policy of stigmatisation of the anxious and depressed has carved a bloody path. Manley is her understudy and works in a lock-up ward at the T&F. Day-Cody, in this writer's experience, suffers from the same delusions that she is paid to discover in her clientele. She detains clients against their will in her hospital and insists that they are "volun...
