Compelling documentary about antidepressant drugs screens in Chicago

This award-winning film is an unprecedented feature documentary built around intimately told personal stories of six American families, their hopes and experiences with anti-depressant drugs prescribed to their children.

Inspirational keynote speaker will be Gwen Olsen, author of the book “Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher” whose niece committed suicide by setting herself on fire after attempting to withdraw from a cocktail of psychiatric drugs.

The screening is part of an informational evening organized by Planet Chiropractic about the effects of prescription anti-depressant drugs on children and families.

Over 17,000,000 American children have been prescribed some type of psychotropic drug. This number has increased over 1000% in the past decade, as pharmaceutical companies seek new customers in a saturated marketplace. With the assistance of state and federal funding, misguided initiatives such as the New Freedoms Commission have targeted 52 million school children to be screened for mental illness in order to further expand that market.

Dr. Majors of Planet Chiropractic said he is concerned that our society is getting sicker and taking more medications than ever before in history. According to Business Week Magazine May 29th edition our medical system is now making health related decisions based on rules and regulations and not scientific evidence. The article explained how doctors are using guesses in treatment which is why medication is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Outraged about this state of affairs, Dr Majors is reaching out to the community to educate and empower them on how to live a healthy life WITHOUT medication! The event is open to all public.
