" Unless we put medical freedom into The Constitution, the time will come

when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship. " Dr.

Rush, a signatory to the Declaration of Independence.

Two areas of medicine encapsulate abuses of the medical dictatorship that

Dr. Rush warned against--in both cases, the majority of victims are

children.

Case example:

anne Godboldo, a 56-year old Detroit mother who sought help from a

Children's Center for her 13-year old daughter who experienced an adverse

reaction--in the form of sudden uncharacteristic behavior problems following

a series of vaccinations--wound up in jail after a standoff with police.

The Center's treatment plan was a prescription for a controversial

antipsychotic, Risperdal, which worsened her condition.

The mother sought another doctor who agreed that the drug should be

withdrawn. Mrs. Godboldo, thereupon began to wean her daughter off the

drug--which improved her condition.

But Child Protective Services intervened, ordering the mother to administer

the dug as ordered by the Children's Center.

When the mother refused, she was threatened with loss of custody. A

stand-off with police, resulting in her arrest, hit the news.

The Detroit News reports that " Godboldo's family and supporters, who

gathered outside the court Sunday, said the woman has every right to make

medical decisions for her daughter and that child welfare workers

overstepped their authority. The unusual circumstances of the standoff

attracted a large crowd of volunteers offering to help negotiate with

Godboldo, including ministers and community activists. "
