Does this name ring a bell? It may for some readers:
"Dr." Ann Blake-Tracy: Executive Director, International Coalition for Drug Awareness
(www.drugawareness.org)
Some of you are "friends" with her on Facebook. Don't worry, I didn't join your anti-Benzos/Benzos Ate My Brain/I suffer from iatrogenic PAWS 20 years later" Facebook group.
Fueled up on the HUGE dosage of 10 mgs of Adderall and 10 mgs of Ambien, I made my speed-induced "Connecto Drawing" where "all roads led back to CCHR". I think this was after I sat in my car, wearing a wig, on speed. I wish I could take all of the funny insults I've gotten IRL and online and put them together: "Alcoholic Communist... Hacker... Bomb Plotter... Secret CIA spy...". Hehe. Now if that didn't flag down the Feds! (My fictitious self sounds pretty kick-ass.)
However, roads often do lead right back to CCHR.

What do others have to say about "Dr." Blake-Tracy and www.drugawareness.com?
1) http://www.mentalhealthmattersnow.com/WHAT_IS_SCIENTOLOGY.html:
"Besides the CCHR there are many other Scientology front organizations a few of these entities created by, run by and funded by the Scientologist’s for Hubbard's stated purpose of bringing Scientology to 'every man, woman and child on the planet' through the practice of lies and deception are:
*International Coalition for Drug Awareness--A non-profit organization devoted to destroying the ability of
physicians to prescribe psychotropic medication to children through distorted facts and fabrications supported by outdated research. They tout a powdered vitamin/mineral supplement as a cure for Tourettes and suggest hyperbaric oxygen chambers and aromatherapy as alternatives to legitimate medication."
I don't recall seeing the last two sentences, nor can I tell you who this was written by or when, as it was not dated. Let's go see... Hmm, no. It's not to say that it does or does nor exist. I see MANY quack links, such as:
http://www.secrethealthfiles.com (I.e., "The People's Chemist"--I blogged about how CCHR had that link before. Feel free to Google-- it's still on CCHR's site. Also, Shane Ellison, alleged writer of "Secret Health Files", is IN $cio's Making a Killing documentary--See Part 1.) WHOIS data says this for secrethealthfiles:

Fax: +1.5208449686

No info on "Eric Blair" (ironically, George Orwell's real name). It "could" be an ad, but I doubt it: Moonbat Dr. Mercola's site is listed under "Supporters" on "Dr." Tracy's (badly veiled) CCHR "quite likely affiliated" website.
On Tracey's "Board Members" @ http://www.drugawareness.org/mission/board is none other than Julian Whitaker,MD-- whom I've linked with $cios before. Unless CNN's transcript has it incorrect, which it may be as stated (strange, though I'm not a frequent transcript reader), Whitaker was on the CCHR board of Nutters in 2005. He was in GenerationRx as well. Hmm... Where do they all find each other? A part of the transcript:
COOPER: "Now, as you've heard, one of the tenets of Scientology is that psychiatry is a scam, basically, and that mood-altering drugs are harmful. Our next guest supports those views, and considers himself a long-practitioner of alternative medicine....Dr. Julian Whitaker is with an organization called the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, established by the Church of Scientology to expose what the church calls psychiatric violations of human rights."
DR. JULIAN WHITAKER, CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS: "I appreciate you having me. Thank you very much."
COOPER: "Why do you, why do Scientologists believe psychiatry is a fraud?"
WHITAKER: "Well, first, let me separate myself from Scientology. I do support the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. I think they do a good job. But let's talk about psychiatry, and my view of psychiatry as a medical doctor."
COOPER: "Why do you, why do Scientologists believe psychiatry is a fraud?"
WHITAKER: "Well, first, let me separate myself from Scientology. I do support the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. I think they do a good job. But let's talk about psychiatry, and my view of psychiatry as a medical doctor."
"...first, let me separate myself from Scientology"?
(Lulz^Wtf?)
(Lulz^Wtf?)
I couldn't find "Dr." Tracy's claim on oxygen therapy on her website, but of course I found Whitaker's here and here. No shocker.
2) http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/cult-front-groups-latest.htm: "INTERNATIONAL COALITION FOR DRUG AWARENESS- http://www.drugawareness.org - 'Yet another Co$ CCHR front group to extoll [sic] the evils of 'The Psychs'."
Eww. Here's the court case and some screen shots:
http://opinions.aoc.arkansas.gov/weblink8/0/doc/131929/Electronic.aspx
I've never heard of Paxil making anyone become a pedophile who engages in incest and then rapes their stepsons. "Dr" Anne Blake-Tracy was defending a pedophile/rapist? And then she tried to blame PAXIL on it? Eww, eww, eww. I think she needs an E-Meter reading.
Here's the article: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/595085602/Depressed-over-Prozac.html
If you're having unbearable anxiety at a very small dose cut in w/d or a minimal c/t you probably have... GASP! An anxiety disorder. No, "Big Pharma" isn't paying me to write that. It would be LOVELY to blame anxiety disorders on body thetans (Scio's thoughts; "MI don't exist"), or not forgiving someone (Louis Hay, who claims she cured her cervical cancer with forgiveness).
That's when common sense should come in, and I'm not sure who would not think:
"Those sound very bizarre and they don't make ANY sense".
I never had a knack books that claimed if I read them, I would become "healed", or a "spiritually better person". Any self-help books for that matter. And red flags arise when they want money for their quack-tastic and dubious claims. Yep, The Holy Bible fits into this category for me as well.
Who is Candabce B (Beebe) Pert, who is among "Dr." Tracey's Board of Quacks?
The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, MD-- By Candace B Pert

Ugh. Breggin. More Quack-A-Mole. They just never stop popping up. Who could read almost 500 pages of Breggin garbage? It's pretty sad (yet sadistically hilarious) when you have your own (or umm "your wife's") publishing company and publish books that others write about you: http://www.lakeedgepress.com/about.html:
"About Us:Welcome to Lake Edge Press. I am Ginger Breggin and I started this company in 2009 in order to publish Wow, I'm An American! How to Live Like Our Nation's Heroic Founders. My husband, Peter R. Breggin, MD is the author of more than 20 books published by prestigious companies such as Perseus Books and St. Martin's Press. Because we immediately experienced resistence [sic] in the liberal book publishing industry we decided to speed up publication of this book by producing it ourselves."
Ginger Breggin cannot spell resistance? Umm, "liberal" does not mean "I will publish your kook garbage". Perhaps it has something to do with Eli Lilly humiliating Breggin on his "children should be allowed to have sex with one another" idea in the 60s, as well as, needless to say, his "previous" CCHR association. The judgment has not come on on that one. Breggin said he left CCHR in the 70's, but apparently helped Robert Whitaker with his 2002 book Mad in America, according to Wikileaks and Anonymous.
You know you're a kook MD when people trust hackers more than you, even though you went to Harvard and you're a practicing MD. (Ouch. That's gotta hurt.)
Other people think that Dr. Anne Blake-Tracy is a $cio, including a NAMI director... And Scientologists aren't possibly trying to invade the "Benzo World"? You know, because they rarely prey on the already confused... For that would be wicked and fraudulent.
I beg to differ. A "friend" connection on Facebook doesn't automatically link something to another, of course. I must ask, how hard is it to right-click and research someone who wants to join your anti-med group? I know benzo withdrawal sucks. But to let possibly the worst damn cult which ever existed get its foot in the door-- sigh. Where are your scruples?!?!

*My thoughts on the D.A.R.E program as I am confronted with the issue/my consent/signed permission slip for local LEO's to give the "Just Say No!" talk to my son's class. This led to a discussion with my son about the failure of the War On Drugs, how it's just a money-making scheme wrapped up in "society values" (much like Prohibition... Yet alcohol actually kills people. But it's "legal"), and how the Feds don't want to end this war-- they make too much money from it. Prevention? Or indoctrination for anti-science lessons in, ugh, morality? I haven't signed it yet. I'm not sure I will either. Remember-- I was a part of that generation who got fed the "Just Say No!" bull-crap all of the time. First drugs, then sex, then violence ("Zero Tolerance" includes even using self-defense, and it's worse now than it was 25 years ago). I saw those endless "This is your brain... This is your brain on drugs" super weird egg/cooking pan commercials:

I'm not advocating drugs by any means. Would I flip out if he had a few beers or smoked a joint when he is 18 years old, in college? No. I'll make sure he knows not to drink and drive or get in a car with anyone who has been drinking/is stoned. It's rational... And shall we say even "normal"? There's very good evidence that proves countries who have decriminalized drug use have lower rates of actual abuse and addiction, as well drug-related crime. Not to mention reduced HIV infections, or access to health care without the potential or fear of becoming arrested. Hopefully the cheap erasers and crappy pencils they still hand hand out (which never even worked, mind you) make him suspicious as well. I want to know why I have to sign a permission slip.
*I'm not into Moonbat or Wingnut-generated conspiracy theories, and I listen to Alex Jones for laughs and laughs only. I can only handle about 3 minutes of his lunatic rantings before my ears start to bleed. I can't stand the man, his voice, his anger, his... every single trait trait. The saying goes, "Even a broken clock is right twice a day". So, while I don't believe in 99.9999% of what Jones thinks, I feel that America is going downhill. Weirdest feeling ever, and I've never had it before, nor can I explain it. Drone attacks? Over a thousand "Black Sites" to hold offshore ALLEGED criminals, without due process, right to legal council, for years and years-- Even though they've never been charged with a single crime? It is becoming an non-moderated Police State more and more, IMO. That's also another blog in itself. There's Allen Ginsburg in my head, telling America to go fuck itself... I ask myself... "What will THEY think if I refuse to allow my son to see D.A.R.E. propaganda?". I shouldn't feel threatened. This is not freedom.
Benzoid News:
*Why did Skyy/Jellybean/Noa get her RN license suspended at least 1-2x? "Detective" Banana knows why and has government documentation. I sure hope BW.org has re-thought the 1-800-Dial- A-Nurse plan.
*MBVV (sp?) posted on BB under an alias, apparently which went under the radar, slamming Skky months ago.
*What's up with Jana Hill's secret dual-milk titration patent? Well, it's not that secret... Jana isn't her name (nor is the one recently mentioned on BB). It's quack-tastic and sooo wrong. I'm not so sure a 70+ year old woman should be (badly) attempting organic chemistry and telling people to mix benzos with ethanol and grapefruit juice in their 10000 mcg/microgram (or was it nanogram?) per year taper.
I.e., don't trust someone who misreads a simple PI sheet.
Here a poster gives details about an online article and Dr. Tracy, which I will get into next. I did not have a look at any links the poster gave:
"I would just like to point out something which is not obvious from reading the article. Dr. Ann Blake Tracy is not a medical doctor. The state of Utah (where her domain name is registered) has no licenseinformation for her at https://secure.utah.gov/llv/llv . I found that her web site describes her this way:
Quote>>>>Ann Blake Tracy, a Ph.D. in Health Sciences with the emphasis on Psychology, , is the director of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2ESPQH2OONYBU?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview
.... you'll rarely see Ann Tracy mention what school she attended. However, in a court hearing in Arkansas (David Eric WOOD v. STATE of Arkansas, Opinion delivered September 5, 2001), she 'testified that she received a bachelor's degree in psychology and biblical studies from Coral Ridge Baptist University in Utah. She also holds a Ph.D. degree in health sciences, with emphasis on psychology, from George Wythe College.'
...Ann Blake Tracy, according to the International Coalition for Drug Awareness web site, has a doctorate in health sciences with an emphasis on psychology. There is no mention of the institution that awarded her this degree — George Wythe College, in Cedar City...
... But seriously, this self-taught 'graduate' of George Wythe College went on to being an 'expert' witness submitted in an Arkansas rape case (and, to my mind, that is serious).... the Court of Appeals of Arkansas was not so impressed with Tracy’s 'life experience,' ruling 'that her intended testimony was not reliable and that the methodology she used was suspect.' Thankfully, because of the court’s due diligence, a man who’d been convicted of raping his stepsons could not use 'Dr'. Tracy’s testimony that 'Paxil made him do it'."
Eww. Here's the court case and some screen shots:
http://opinions.aoc.arkansas.gov/weblink8/0/doc/131929/Electronic.aspx
I've never heard of Paxil making anyone become a pedophile who engages in incest and then rapes their stepsons. "Dr" Anne Blake-Tracy was defending a pedophile/rapist? And then she tried to blame PAXIL on it? Eww, eww, eww. I think she needs an E-Meter reading.
"...Dr. Tracy's testimony displayed prejudice towards an entire series of drugs...and that Dr. Tracy appeared to be on a crusade..."

Depressed over Prozac--Antidepressants dangerous and should be banned, crusader says

Snippets from the article:
By Elaine Jarvik, Deseret News

Snippets from the article:
Tracy started the International Coalition for Drug Awareness in 1997. The coalition has a Web site, www.drugawareness.org, volunteer directors in 30 states and board members in Bulgaria and Singapore.
The most celebrated member of her board is Dr. Candace Pert (No $cio connection I could find), the Georgetown University School of Medicine neuroscientist who a generation ago helped discover and map the kind of receptors that regulate mood and health." (In rats...)
After reading about Mark Barton, the Atlanta day trader who killed his family and then drove to work and killed nine more people before also turning the gun on himself, Tracy phoned his mother. It wasn't until six months later that Atlanta police reported that Prozac had been found in Barton's car, so Tracy was operating on instinct when she urged Barton's mother to have his body tested for antidepressants. "Not all coroners check for these drugs," Tracy explains. "It requires a few extra tests, and not all states will pay for it. That's why you need to get to the families right away."
But things don't always work out the way Tracy would hope. In the Atlanta day trader case, she says, she had his body ready to be shipped to an independent forensic toxicologist in Oklahoma City, but Barton's mother changed her mind. Maybe, Tracy says, the coroner told Mrs. Barton that Tracy was a Scientologist.
The Scientology charge still surfaces occasionally, because Scientologists are famous for their opposition to psychotropic drugs and in fact to psychiatry in general. ("Psychiatry is seeking to create a world where man is reduced to a robotized or drugged, vegetablelike [sic] state so that he can be controlled," Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard once wrote.)
Vicki Cottrell, executive director of the Utah chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), is sure Tracy has Scientology ties. 'She says she's not a Scientologist, but she has the same philosophy,' says Cottrell. 'Of course I don't have the thing on paper, in writing, but I believe they finance her.' Tracy denies any connection to Scientology and says in fact that Scientologists don't like her because she won't go after psychiatrists. She says her war against antidepressants has put her $100,000 in debt (mostly from phone bills and publishing her book). Tracy accuses NAMI of getting money from drug companies.
But Tracy won't be happy until the drugs are banned altogether. They cause people to become violently suicidal and homicidal, she argues. They cause cancer, she says, and heart disease and diabetes and divorce. Some people call her a visionary. Others roll their eyes and call her misinformed — and worry that she is hurting the very people she wants to help.
Panacea or Pandora?
In 1991, Tracy wrote an 80-page pamphlet called Prozac: Panacea or Pandora? Three years later she expanded it into a 424-page book that she published herself. She wrote a lot of it longhand, while sitting in the Salt Lake LDS Temple: the one place, she says, where she was sure Satan didn't have a foothold.
Hers was one of the first books to criticize antidepressants, but others followed: Dr. Peter Breggin's 1995 "Talking Back to Prozac," Dr. Joseph Glenmullen's 2000 "Prozac Backlash," Dr. David Healy's 2004 "Let Them Eat Prozac." As the titles suggest, Prozac has become shorthand for antidepressant, the way Kleenex is shorthand for tissue, because Prozac was the first of a new class of antidepressants called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). But there are now plenty of others, including Paxil, Effexor, Zoloft and Luvox.Whoa, utter madness! AD's cause cancer? Incest and pedophilia? "Satan didn't have a foothold". I thought as long as you avoided caffeine and wore your special Mormon underwear that you were good to go? Same old kooks. Breggin and Healey. It's a little game I call Quack-A-Mole...
If you're having unbearable anxiety at a very small dose cut in w/d or a minimal c/t you probably have... GASP! An anxiety disorder. No, "Big Pharma" isn't paying me to write that. It would be LOVELY to blame anxiety disorders on body thetans (Scio's thoughts; "MI don't exist"), or not forgiving someone (Louis Hay, who claims she cured her cervical cancer with forgiveness).
That's when common sense should come in, and I'm not sure who would not think:
