Mental Health Screening Flawed in Gabriel Myers’ Case – FDA Gives Florida Psychiatrist Disciplinary Warning

A severe disciplinary warning shot has been sent over the bow of Psychiatry and its fraudulent Mental Health Screening practices of drugging children, by the U.S. FDA, according to today’s Miami Herald Story by Carol Marbin Miller. Gabriel Myers was a vibrant 7-Year Old who hung himself under the “care” of this wolf in sheep’s clothing!

“FDA warns psychiatrist who treated dead foster child

The psychiatrist who treated the Broward foster child who killed himself last year is now in hot water with the FDA.

A South Florida psychiatrist who was treating a 7-year-old foster child before the boy committed suicide last year has received a warning from federal drug regulators who say he failed “to protect the rights, safety and welfare” of children enrolled in clinical drug trials.

In a strongly worded letter dated Feb. 4, regulators at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Dr. Sohail Punjwani over-medicated children who were enrolled in clinical trials for undisclosed drugs. One girl, the letter said, slashed her wrists while hallucinating.

Another, a 13-year-old, “experienced sedation and dizziness during the study,” the letter said.

The warning letter, a harsh and rare form of discipline by the agency, says Punjwani failed to “adhere to the applicable statutory requirements and FDA regulations governing the conduct of clinical investigations.”

“Your failure to conduct the requisite safety measures contributed to the unnecessary exposure of pediatric subjects to significant overdoses, which jeopardized the subjects’ rights, safety and welfare,” the letter says.

Punjwani did not return calls from The Miami Herald seeking comment.

… the FDA does not send out such warning letters often, and the agency considers breaches of its regulations to be “very serious.” The letter was signed by Leslie K. Ball, a doctor who heads the compliance office of the Division of Scientific Investigations, and Constance Cullity, a doctor who is also a compliance officer. …

Department of Children & Families Secretary George Sheldon, who appointed a task force last year to study Gabriel’s death, said Monday he is asking the FDA to compare a list of Florida foster children with lists of children enrolled in Punjwani’s clinical trials. Sheldon said he was acting on concerns that children in state care may have been involved in clinical trials, which is against state law.

The FDA letter, Sheldon said, “raises clear ethical issues and judgment issues that we need to clearly understand.” If foster kids were enrolled in clinical trials, he said, “we will need to take it to another level.”

I could not agree more adamantly.  In fact, the entire concept of Mental Health Screening needs more scrutiny.  Mental Health Screening has no scientific basis and is designed to diagnose and treat fabricated diseases with drugs that destroy life.  How many more horrific cases like Gabriel Myers will it take before these merchants of chaos are stopped?
