The Lies from ECT Device Manufacturers and Psychiatry about Electroshock Therapy

     Here’s the scariest fact about Douglas Cameron’s 2023 two volume expose about the actual amount of electricity used in ECT which is hidden by the manufacturer and psychiatrists: there are only two Amazon customer reviews of his The Great Electro Convulsive Therapy Hoax Volume I: Manufacturer Fraud and Deception, and there are no reviews of Volume II.

     Why is there not more attention given to these two carefully researched volumes? They show that the memory loss and brain damage that occurs from ECT is due to the strength of the electrical current itself that is used in the treatment.

     The extensive overview Cameron provides of the current misinformation about the safety of modern ECT devices and the fact that the current amplitude of electricity used in ECT is actually far higher, not lower than with earlier devices is scary enough. The fact that so few people are aware of his research is far scarier, though.

     Unfortunately, the most common response today when someone is told there are more than one hundred thousand people in America being given ECT is “I had no idea they were still doing that.”

     With no government regulations regarding the delivery of ECT, and with no reporting required of its effects, this barbarous industry can remain invisible to the general public. There is no actual data available about its delivery or about how many people have been harmed by its high voltage.

     ECT device manufacturers and the psychiatrists who order ECT remain determined to keep us in the dark so we don’t discover that the Jack Nicholson ECT scene in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest is not overly dramatic fiction, but is realistic fact.

     Cameron shows how today’s ECT devices are designed to emit amounts of electricity far above that required to induce a seizure and that electrical jolt is what destroys neuron connections in the brain. This deliberate destruction, Cameron says, is like a lobotomy. The patient is made more tractable after the initial mild, but temporary euphoric effect as a result of permanent brain damage.

     Douglas Cameron, a professor at a Houston, Texas, community college with a Bachelor’s Degree and two Masters Degrees was himself administered ECT against his will, and today he suffers from permanent memory loss and cognitive impairment as a result of the dangerously high electrical shock from his ECT treatments. He thereafter researched the actual effects of that level of voltage on the brain and discovered the device manufacturers have lied to the FDA and to the public about the harmful effects of the level of electricity itself on the human brain.

     The memory loss and confusion one experiences after an ECT session is by no means “temporary” and “rare,” as the prescribing psychiatrists and the manufacturers of the device claim.

     Cameron has done the research necessary to sort through the different effects on the human brain from electrical volts, ohms, and columbs in order to show exactly how the brain damage occurs from ECT. His nearly thirty years of careful research unveils the truth behind ECT which is otherwise unavailable to the general public, who only have the manufacturers’ lies to go by.

     Kudos to Brave New World Publishing for making Cameron’s work available. These two volumes should be required educational tools for health safety advocate agencies, regulatory governmental organizations such as the FDA, ECT researchers, and medical malpractice attorneys.
