I am a lay person who is reading a serialized version of your book “Mental health survival kit and withdrawal from psychiatric drugs.” It is both very interesting and disturbing. From some of your examples I ask myself: How could anyone function on two or three neuroleptics at once? And how could someone who has

We clearly need an index for hopelessly flawed papers. A US colleague, Professor Dennis M. Bier from Houston, has invented one and gave me permission to tell you about it. Beer index

Fra en anonym patient i den danske psykiatri. Peter C. Gøtzsche har ret i, at psykofarmaka gør større skade end gavn. Men takken for at redde mennesker fra alvorlige hjerneskader er en fyreseddel. Når du er patient i psykiatrien, behøver du ikke læse op på forskningen for at vide, at psykofarmaka er farlige. Du ser
Modtaget fra en bisidder: Overlægen og SOSU-eleven stod op, mens patienten sad ned. Det er truende, ikke motiverende adfærd! Det bør om nogen de professionelle vide.

Nedlukningen af Danmark og den udbredte panik har haft store konsekvenser, som vi slet ikke kan overskue endnu. Mange med alvorlige sygdomme holder sig væk fra hospitalerne, hvilket måske forårsager endnu flere dødsfald end dem, vi

I shall try to summarise what we know about the Coronavirus pandemic and explain why most draconian measures that have been introduced are unlikely to work but cause colossal harm. Two measures work: isolation of cases and keeping a distance of 2 m to other people. There is no good evidence that the Coronavirus is

By Professor Peter C. Gøtzsche In Spanish: Corona panico masivo Almost everyone I talk to, lay people and colleagues (I am a specialist in internal medicine and have worked for two years at a department of infectious diseases) consider the Coronavirus pandemic a pandemic of panic, more than anything else.
