Located in Clearwater, FL, CCHR Exhibit Exposes Dangers of Electroshock

Published

on

The office of the Florida chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is home to a permanent exhibit that features an audio-visual display on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock.

Horrified to learn that from 2015-2020, ECT has been administered to children in Florida with some of them being in the 0-5 age group, visitors are given an opportunity to join CCHR in calling for a ban on the use of the ECT device after touring the exhibit. [1]

The continued use of ECT is one of the worst abuses in mental health today,” states the President for the Florida chapter of CCHR, Diane Stein. “The use of ECT, particularly on the vulnerable, including children, pregnant women and the elderly is barbaric and should be banned.”

Located in Clearwater, the exhibit provides facts on the dangers of ECT and free copies of a documentary entitled “Therapy or Torture? The Truth about Electroshock”. The documentary, produced by CCHR International, exposes the inhumane practice and its damaging effects, including cognitive and memory dysfunction, neuropathological changes, brain damage and death. [2,3]

The exhibit educates people on how ECT sends up to 460 volts of electricity through the brain in order to induce a grand mal seizure, a type of seizure that involves a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions, masked by an anesthetic. Many visitors are surprised to learn that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has never required clinical studies that prove electroshock is either safe or effective, despite being used for more than 80 years. Visitors also learned that while psychiatrists claim modern is less brutal than it used to be when patients would break bones from the violent convulsions it produced, the voltage and amperage in today’s ECT is actually higher. The muscle relaxants now administered just make it appear less brutal. Additionally, the side effects of the most commonly used muscle relaxant for ECT include: cardiac arrest, prolonged respiratory muscle paralysis and potentially life-threatening and/or fatal allergic reactions. [4,5,6,7]

According to Dr. Norman Shealy, Neurosurgeon, “One fact about ECT: It damages the brain. Period… ECT should have been banned 50 years ago.”

CCHR is very much in agreement with this viewpoint and is calling for a ban on the use of the ECT device not just in Florida but across the country. Individuals are encouraged to report instances of damage and death as a result of ECT and to sign the petition to ban ECT in Florida and nationally.

About CCHR: Initially established by the Church of Scientology and renowned psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz in 1969, CCHR’s mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, first brought psychiatric imprisonment to wide public notice: “Thousands and thousands are seized without process of law, every week, over the ‘free world’ tortured, castrated, killed. All in the name of ‘mental health,’” he wrote in March 1969.

Published

Poolking, a well-known swimming pool equipment supplier in Guangzhou, China recently had the pleasure of hosting its foreign customers. The primary purpose of the visit was to showcase them the company’s commitment to quality and how it was maintaining top standards in everything it produced. The visit was a significant success and it gave the customers a firsthand look at the manufacturer’s state-of-the-art facilities.   

For over 20 years, Poolking has been delivering best-in-class products to its customers, ultimately earning a stellar reputation in Guangzhou and beyond. 

The customers reached the 60,000 square kilometer factory around 10 AM. They were welcomed by Poolking’s staff, who after presenting them with some pleasantries, took them into a conference hall. There, the customers were briefed on how their tour would kickstart and the facilities and processes they’d be observing. 

“We’ve visited other manufacturing units too, but the briefing we got was like none other. It comprehensively prepared us for the tour and improved our understanding of how different processes were carried out.” Said one of the customers from Europe.

The Tour Begins 

Visit to the Sand Filter Workshop

The staff at Poolking kickstarted the tour by taking the visitors to the Sand Filter Workshop. There, they observed first-hand how sand was filtered through various cutting-edge machines and tools. Apart from analyzing the quality of the material, the guests also got an in-depth overview of the different technologies being used.  

“We were always curious about how Poolking was able to meet high standards of quality, and looking at the processes in the Sand Filter Workshop we now know that everyone is going the extra mile to create one-of-a-kind products.”

These were remarks of one of the customers from the USA doing business with the manufacturer for several years. 

Going to Pool Pump Workshop 

Next, the visitors were taken to the Pool Pump Workshop. This unit is specifically designed to test the efficiency of pumps and gauge how technically sound the products are. There, the guests had the opportunity to see the working of several high-grade and technologically advanced machines. These included CNC vertical lathe, linkage, and grinding machine, and TUV witness equipment. The customers were also briefed on how each machine was contributing to the overall safety and reliability of the products. 

Integrated Underwater Light Workshop 

Poolking’s unique strength lies in producing underwater light as per the innovative EU manufacturing standards. After visiting the Pool Pump Workshop, the guests went inside the Integrated Underwater Light Workshop where they closely observed the working of IES testing equipment as well as other R&D processes. After taking a 360-degree overview of the entire department, they praised Poolking’s efforts to meet evolving customer demands.

“Upon visiting other swimming pool equipment suppliers, we noticed that most of their machines were of old models. But the way Poolking is using the latest, most sophisticated technology is truly exceptional. It proves that you’re several steps ahead of your competitors.”

During their tour, the guests saw the working of several machines, including but not limited to:

  • Automatic Bead Filters
  • Swimming Pool DE Filters
  • Above Ground Swimming Pool Pumps
  • Automatic Ozone Reactors
  • Aquarium Sand Filters
