Scientology --- Scientology's CCHR Advocates Child Sex



Breggin IS allied with the CCHR in spite of his protestations to the contrary.

He served as an officer for The Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc., which was established, organized and financed by the CCHR.

Breggin's book, "Talking Back to Prozac" is largely based on anecdotal reports collected by The Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc., which was staffed and run by the CCHR.

On his website, Breggin claims he has not had anything to do with the Church of Scientology since 1974. In his denial, which appears at:
http://www.breggin.com/Joemccarthylives.html Breggin makes no mention of the CCHR or its Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc., on that page or on his entire website. All you need do to verify his dependence on information supplied to him by the Church of Scientology is pick up a copy of "Talking Back to Prozac." You'll see how dependent he was upon the Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc., for the "horror stories" he relates in that book.


The Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc. website used to be at http://www.pssg.org. In trying to get there today, I receive a "404 Not found" error.

It's conceivable that Breggin was just too stupid to note the connection linking The Prozac Survivors Support Group, the CCHR, and the Church of Scientology. Conceivable, but not very likely.

It's also conceivable that Breggin didn't know where all that money came from to pay for his "expert witness" testimony in the "Prozac-made-me-do-it" lawsuits (he earned $45,000 in fees in just one lawsuit). Again, conceivable, but not very likely.

Ginger Breggin may consider any linkage of herself to the CCHR as "libellous," but the courts don't appear to agree with her. Frank van Meerendonk heads the Benelux section of The Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc.

When Eli Lilly accused van Meerendonk and his Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc., of being "synonyms for the Church of Scientology," van Meerendonk sued for libel. Van Meerendonk lost the lawsuit. You can find this information on Peter Breggin's own website at:
http://www.breggin.com/bulletinprozac5.html

If Ginger Breggin wants to dissociate herself from the CCHR, she's going to have to do a better job of it than relying upon CCHR-funded organizations to supply her with information about Prozac.
