The American Psychiatric Association, through its use of obfuscatory
language in its DSM-IV-TR, has brainwashed physicians into projecting
the
medical-establishment's failures onto patients. DSM-IV-TR reads (p.
485):

> The common feature of the Somatoform Disorders is the presence of
> physical symptoms that suggest a general medical condition... and are
> not fully explained by a general medical condition....

What this actually means is:

> The common feature of the Somatoform Disorders is the presence of
> physical symptoms that suggest a general medical condition... but the
> medical-establishment fails to explain them by a general medical
> condition....

Moreover, the U.S. medical-establishment derives most of its income
from
the direct-taxation of citizens, via entitlement programs; and so the
U.S.
medical-establishment should be seen as a virtual branch of the
Federal
Government. So the Federal Government is (1) placing an unwarranted
burden-of-proof on patients, (2) charging taxpayers for the
mistreatment
of patients, and (3) violating the Constitution's 5th Amendment.

Physicians should stop projecting the establishment's failures
onto patients, immediately. Physicians, when unable to explain a
patient's
symptoms by a known general medical condition, should admit their
failure,
and charge the patients/insurance-companies/taxpayers $0.

Patients who've been misdiagnosed with mental disorders, including
Gulf
War Veterans, should accept no more abuse, and should obtain
reparations
by any means necessary.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_(Thoreau):

> Civil Disobedience is an essay by Henry David Thoreau that was first
> published in 1849. It argues that people should not permit governments
> to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have a duty to
> avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them
> the agents of injustice....

> ... Thoreau's metaphor which compared the government to a machine, and
> said that when the machine was working injustice it was the duty of
> conscientious citizens to be “a counter friction” -- that is, a
> resistance -- “to stop the machine”....

> ... Indeed, you serve your country poorly if you do so by suppressing
> your conscience in favor of the law -- your country needs consciences
> more than it needs conscienceless robots....

> ... The government is not just a little corrupt or unjust in the course
> of doing its otherwise-important work, but in fact, the government is
> primarily an agent of corruption and injustice. Because of this, it's
> “not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize.”...

> People often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try
> to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect
> the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust,
> and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such
> unjust laws, then the law deserves no respect -- break the law....

“Thoreau was a great writer, philosopher, poet, and withal a most
practical man, that is, he taught nothing he was not prepared to practise
in himself. He was one of the greatest and most moral men America has
produced.” -- Mohandas Gandhi

“During my student days I read Henry David Thoreau's essay On Civil
Disobedience for the first time.... Fascinated by the idea of refusing to
cooperate with an evil system, I was so deeply moved that I reread the
work several times.... I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is
as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.” -- Martin Luther
King, Jr.
