Former Pharmaceutical Salesman Majorly Knocks Psych Drugs

Just saw this one on ScientologyToday:

The next awardee, Gwen Olsen, a former pharmaceutical industry representative, told an expert panel in Washington D.C. last January how she influenced doctors with gifts and presented skillfully manipulated data to get them to prescribe drugs that harmed patients. Her moment of truth came when her 20-year-old niece committed suicide following a withdrawal reaction from the antidepressant Paxil. Ms. Olsen, who has authored the book Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher, is a passionate and outspoken critic, protecting the lives of children and young adults by exposing pharma and psychiatric collusion to defraud the public.

This was from an article on the recent 38th anniversary of the Citizen’s Commisison on Human Rights, an organization that will stop at nothing until psychiatry is basically brought back under the law.  This particular woman (whom I’ve seen a video of — and she’s amazing) had been selling psych drugs for years, and finally saw what it was that she was selling.  She had been being duped by the various drug companies into thinking the drugs were much less harmful than they really were — and it had to get to a point where someone very close to her died from psych drugs before she saw that they had been lying to her the entire time.

Now she’s a driven woman to ensure that psychiatric drug companies are exposed for what and who they are, and that people don’t get lulled into believing the story that they’re just out to ‘help people’.  They’re actually intentionally marketing drugs that people don’t need, which basically enslave them mentally and physically, so that they can make a profit.

This just goes to show that it’s not just Scientology and Scientologists who are against psychiatry — it’s anyone who actually finds out the truth about that operation.

I saw the videos as well. I have a link to one of her videos on my wordpress blog as a matter of fact. Psychiatry and Big Pharma are being exposed for who they really are … high powered drug pushers.

Where at? I looked for the video and couldn’t find it. That’d be killer, as she’s such a straight shooter. I’d hate to be in her position though, having the weight of conceience on her shoulders of having peddled drugs to millions over the course of years. Wouldn’t be a fun place to be, and yes — if I were her I’d be speaking out wherever I could be heard.

Sorry just saw that you had responded to me here.

Her video is in my “No science in psychiatry post” http://lesweet.wordpress.com/2007/02/24/no-science-in-psychiatry/ … the last video link “Confessions of a drug industry rep.

I could not imagine having that weight on my shoulders!! Truly criminal … lot of damage to be made up.
