Mayor right to end Scientology program to combat drugs — Las Cruces Sun News (New Mexico)
Type: Press
Source: Las Cruces Sun News (New Mexico)
Miyagishima said when he first initiated his "Drug-Free Marshal" program, he was unaware that it was funded by Scientology. A sticker on the back of badges given to area third-graders identifies them as being "a trademark owned by the Church of Scientology International." The real concern was not so much the badges, but pamphlets that were to have been distributed to fifth-graders. Those pamphlets condemned not only illegal street drugs, but also legal drugs such as Ritalin that Scientologists strongly oppose. ...

The Washington Times recently reported the curious appointment by Governor Martin O’Malley of John P. Coale to the Board of Directors of UMMS (University of Maryland Medical System). Coale is a high-ranking Scientologist and trial lawyer who got rich from the “tobacco wars” and has particpated in Scientology’s assault on Ritalin, taking on not only its manufacturer, Novartis, but the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and patient advocacy group CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Defict Disorder). Coale is a member of ...

Mayor abandons anti-drug program affiliated with Church of Scientology — Las Cruces Sun News (New Mexico)
Type: Press
Author(s): Ashley Meeks
Source: Las Cruces Sun News (New Mexico)
LAS CRUCES — The city is immediately ending an anti-drug program aimed at third-graders after it was revealed it was created and bankrolled by the Church of Scientology. The "Drug-Free Marshal" program, started in late November, had only been presented to five schools but was intended to be promoted eventually among all third-graders in the Las Cruces Public Schools. Mayor Ken Miyagishima apologized Saturday and said it was not his intention to promote the religion. The mayor said he was approached ...

Portsmouth School Board's ADHD flier draws fire — Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, Virginia)
Type: Press
Author(s): Cheryl Ross
Source: Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, Virginia)
Last month, the School Board sent a warning to parents about the “harmful effects” of drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Much of the flier’s information was taken from the Internet, including from a Web site run by a group founded by the Church of Scientology. This week, six national organizations and eight local groups sent a letter requesting that the School Board retract the flier and send a new one stating that ADHD is a disease that requires ...

A new war over Ritalin — Macleans
Type: Press
Author(s): Danylo Hawaleshka
Source: Macleans
At first glance, it seemed like a classic David-and-Goliath punch-up: Danielle Lavigueur, a separated mother of two living in Longueuil, on Montreal's South Shore, claims the high school her 12-year-old son Gabriel attends is pressuring her to medicate him with Ritalin for hyperactivity. She refuses to yield to the alleged demand, and eventually someone calls in the Children's Aid Society. Feeling besieged, Lavigueur confides in a friend, who introduces her to Raphaël Huppé, head of research for the Montreal-based National Parents ...

Author(s): Amanda J. Crawford

A group affiliated with the Church of Scientology has forged close ties with several influential members of the Arizona Legislature as part of a nationwide battle against the mental-health industry. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights has courted key lawmakers with trips to glitzy Scientologist events in Hollywood. And, observers say, it has been the force behind more than two dozen bills in Arizona in recent years, including measures to restrict prescriptions of Ritalin and mood-altering drugs. One of the measures ...

Tom Cruise: Entertaining or Dangerous? — Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
Type: Opinion
Author(s): Harold S. Koplewicz
Source: Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
The interchange between Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer on the Today show was a premeditated attack on psychiatrically ill patients. While Mr. Cruise’s claims of expertise in the history of psychiatry were unchallenged, as physicians and psychiatrists we know the complex facts he distorted and the damage such glib untruths cause. Like all of medicine, psychiatric knowledge is far from perfect. However, despite side effects the discovery of antipsychotic medications helped free millions of patients from unrelenting hallucinations and from long ...
