Major Announcement!

We must unite! Join the Conscious Clinician Collective

At this pivotal moment, western societies are entrenched in a profound mental health and identity crisis, partly influenced by how we understand and treat human suffering. Common and expected reactions to stressful events are being pathologized, inaccurately categorized as psychiatric disorders, and haphazardly treated with psychiatric drugs. Alarmingly, patients are frequently not informed about the potential risks linked to these drugs and medical misinformation is rampant.

This absence of informed consent represents a serious ethical violation, depriving individuals of their fundamental right to make fully informed decisions regarding their mental health care. Industrial deception amplifies the perceived benefits of these drugs while downplaying their well-documented harms. As a result, adverse drug reactions and undiagnosed health conditions are frequently misconstrued as indicators of deteriorating mental health, trapping individuals in a cycle of enduring disability.

The pharmaceutical industry has hijacked our collective understanding of mental health, molding medical professionals into legalized drug dealers through their training and influence. Additionally, mental health therapists are widely influenced by industry deception, political ideology, and shifting cultural norms.

Over the past three years, I've committed to being unequivocally clear and radically transparent. We are witnessing the decline of Western civilization and the fragilization of American youth. Toxic, mind-altering drugs are being rapidly dispensed and misrepresented as medicine. We have collectively constructed an idea of mental illness that permeates Western societies, destroying our emotional health and undermining resilience.

I stand by this statement: entering standard mental healthcare will undoubtedly worsen your mental health. Every available statistic supports this. The allopathic medical model and therapy industry are extensions of pharmaceutical companies, rife with pseudoscientific ideas and harmful interventions. Toxic ideologies have infiltrated our culture and public schools, leaving kids, parents, and the general public confused about what constitutes a life worth living and what defines mental health. Resilience has been undermined and replaced by a mind virus fostering emotional fragility and drug dependence.

Who can we rely on for compassionate, ethical, and unbiased mental healthcare information? Who exists in the healthcare field who will take the time to listen, understand and investigate the multiple correlates associated with the physical symptoms that get misdiagnosed as psychiatric illness? Where can we find the accurate resources needed to make informed decisions about our healthcare? What alternative explanations or treatments may exist?

We must unite ethical and conscious mental health and healthcare professionals who value informed consent, medical freedom, and respect for individual autonomy. Informed consent is a legal and ethical imperative. Our medical system is corrupt, leaving people without reliable sources of information beyond industry influence.

Over the past three years, I have received hundreds, if not thousands, of emails requesting referrals to ethical mental health or healthcare professionals. These individuals seek specialists who are independent and aware of the harms of psychiatric labels and treatments—professionals who take the time to fully evaluate patients rather than quickly writing prescriptions as a solution. Parents are concerned about fringe ideologies around gender-affirming care and the risk of being alienated by a therapist.

In response, I have been called to create the Conscious Clinician Collective. Our bold mission is to revolutionize mental healthcare. Our objective is straightforward: to first connect individuals and families with ethical health practitioners who respect your personal values and champion your right to medical freedom and informed consent. These practitioners fully understand the harms created within our mental health and medical systems.

Our second, and larger, initiative is to grow a network that provides an array of science-based information, allowing you to conduct your own research outside the filtered information found on Google. Informed consent includes understanding the benefits and risks of an intervention as well as exploring alternative approaches for a particular diagnosis. There is a wealth of science-backed health information suppressed by the mainstream medical establishment, and we aim to bring it to light.

All mental health care and healthcare clinicians who join the collective will attest to and agree to uphold to principles of the Conscious Clinician Compact.

The Conscious Clinician Compact

Challenging existing paradigms can provoke discomfort and resistance, yet it's this very disruption that catalyzes our evolution, pushing us to embrace transformative change.

As mental health and healthcare professionals, we are deeply concerned by the pervasive distortion of mental health, a result of decades-long pharmaceutical industry deception. This collusion with the psychiatric medical establishment misrepresents scientific findings and inaccurately portrays psychiatric presentations as discrete and immutable medical diseases necessitating pharmaceutical intervention. Recognizing the significant risks, adverse effects, and limited efficacy associated with psychiatric drugs, we advocate for a more comprehensive, safe, and evidence based approach to mental health care.

We acknowledge the misrepresentation of pharmaceutical drugs to the public, often minimizing risks and exaggerating benefits. We understand that undiagnosed medical conditions and adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals are frequently misdiagnosed as psychiatric disorders. We prioritize transparency and integrity, advocating for informed consent and clear communication about the limitations and risks associated with psychiatric diagnoses and medical interventions.

We vehemently oppose the pathologization of natural human emotions and reactions to adverse events as psychiatric illness. Furthermore, we reject oversimplifying emotional states as purely biomedical constructs. We acknowledge the harm caused when emotions are inaccurately portrayed as symptoms of underlying brain chemical imbalances.

We denounce the categorical and reductionist approach of diagnostic frameworks like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and similar systems, which seek to arbitrarily medicalize and categorize a range of emotional reactions to stress as discrete medical disorders.

We commit to critically examining and challenging dominant paradigms, advocating for alternative perspectives that honor the complexity and diversity of human experiences, and prioritizing ethical and patient-centered care above commercial interests.

We believe in respecting individuals' and families' autonomy to choose options that best serve their health and well-being. This commitment is guided by informed consent, respect for personal freedom, and the pursuit of comprehensive care.

We support the exploration and integration of non-pharmacological interventions, including psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, nutritional therapies, and complementary therapies, alongside judicious use of pharmaceuticals with full disclosure of potential harms and benefits.

We acknowledge that while psychotherapy can offer valuable benefits, it also carries inherent risks, especially when conducted unethically or influenced by ideological and theoretical biases. We are committed to transparency in our practice, openly discussing established therapies for specific conditions and articulating their potential benefits, limitations, and risks.

We acknowledge the powerful influence of exposure to popular culture and societal narratives on shaping perceptions and behaviors regarding mental health. Recognizing the potential for social contagion and misinformation we are dedicated to critically assessing societal influences.

We are fully committed to protecting the rights of minors by understanding developmental limitations and providing developmentally appropriate care. This includes recognizing the unique needs and vulnerabilities of children and adolescents, fostering a supportive environment that encourages open communication, and collaborating with families to make informed decisions regarding their options. Therefore, we adamantly oppose gender medical transition for minors, acknowledging the potential harm it poses and recognizing the incapacity of young people to make decisions about such procedures given their permanent repercussions. Adolescence represents a pivotal developmental stage characterized by the fluidity and evolution of identity.

When engaging with minors, we recognize the crucial role of the family and vow to avoid any actions that could lead to a sense of alienation between children and their families. We are deeply concerned about the misrepresentation of psychiatric diagnoses to children and families, often portraying them as fixed diseases requiring psychiatric drugs.

We prioritize safeguarding the welfare of children by advocating for their protection from undue medical interventions without proper evaluation and oversight. In doing so, we uphold the rights of parents to make informed decisions on behalf of their children, ensuring that their best interests are consistently prioritized and their well-being preserved.

Finally, we recognize that science is an evolving process in the search for truth. Therefore, we pledge to accurately communicate research findings, prioritizing the protection of the public from the misrepresentation of scientific data.

We are uniting all mental health and healthcare clinicians who believe in the principles outlined in the Conscious Clinician Compact. By joining you will be part of a searchable database where those in your locality can feel confident that you meet the highest moral and ethical standards supported by the compact.

We're rallying an army of supporters to help us reach our initial target of $150,000. This investment is pivotal, as it will provide the initial funding necessary to launch our online platform and kick-start our programmatic initiatives.

There are no limitations on this initiative. The more money that can be raised the larger to movement can become. We want to build a staff that can grow this initiative, create resources, build a media division and grow a community! Any amount of a tax deductible donation helps the cause. If you are unable to give now we ask you contribute by forwarding the site to at least 3 people you know. Additionally, we ask for your prayers as we embark on this transformative initiative.

It’s time to unite!
