Hi Kureha

I am a new member. This is my first posting. (I have therefore had to take out all the links.) I joined today, on the recommendation of an "Assistant Admin" at Schizophrenia.com, which I joined about a week ago.

I am also in the UK. You can find me with a Google search. I am not the John Allman who is a professor of neuroscience as Caltech!

There are states of mind and habits of feeling and thought that could be described as "unhealthy" in a metaphorical sense. Some of them can also be literally unhealthy, because they lead to self-harm, or cause somatic disorders - real diseases. And there are physical diseases that cause mental symptoms, for example Alzheimer's Disease. But whether the modern "mental health" industry ought to be as it is, and annexed to ordinary medicine, and whether the term "mental illness" is useful, I would debate vigorously.

I think that this is an exaggeration, but I would agree that parts of the DSM are influenced by individuals who are complicit in an attempt to cover up the crimes of electronic harassment and organised stalking, by discrediting the victims.

I visited TheHiddenEvil dot com for the first time tonight, prompted by your posting. I can only give you my first impressions. I subscribe to the basic conspiracy theory documented. However, I am aware that some of the sites that document the same conspiracy are infected by misinformation, and opinion stated as fact. You might find creviews.net helpful, in determining which websites that document the conspiracy are reliable, and which aren't.

I believe that this is correct.

I know Rauni. We met at the Fifth European Symposium on Non-Lethal Weapons, where she was a paying attender at the conference, and I got in free, because I was delivering a presentation at one of the workshops, entitled Ethical and societal implications of capacity for privacy-invasive remote interrogation and behavioural influence applications. (You will have to Google the title to find it, because I've got to make ten postings here before I can include links, so I've had to redraft my posting minus the links.)

You will find a photograph of Rauni Kilde, Harlan Girard, Martin Bott, Walter Madliger (who also gave a presentation) and Col John B Alexander and myself at [link removed]. (To find the photo, please Google the title of my paper, and click on the link near the bottom of the page to the fact sheet and photo collage by Karlheinz Croissant.)

On a technical point, Rauni told me that she was never formally appointed as Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) for the whole of Finland. For very a long time, she was CMOH of Lapland, which is part of Finland. For a much shorter time, she was acting CMOH for the whole of Finland, whilst a new permanent incumbent to that post was recruited. Rauni was living in Norway when I last had contact with her.

In my experience, when a person who has a relationship with mental health professionals, in which the professionals regard him or her as their patient, and begins to educate himself or herself about the matters about which you are beginning to educate yourself, it is unsafe for him or her to give in to the temptation to try to educate the particular mental health professionals whose patient he or she is.

Kind regards,

John
