Erasing the Pain of the Past Scientists Are Developing Drugs That Could Eliminate Traumatic Events From Our Memories
ABC News March 20, 2007 RUSSELL GOLDMAN
March 20, 2007 — - "I'd take it in a second," said Sgt. Michael Walcott, an Iraq War veteran, referring to an experimental drug with the potential to target and erase traumatic memories.
Walcott, who served in a Balad-based transportation unit that regularly took mortar fire, now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Since returning to the United States two years ago, he has been on antidepressants and in group therapy as he tries to put his life back together and heal from the psychological scars of war. "There are moments," he said, "when you just want be alone and don't want to deal with everyone telling you that you've changed."
There are many others like Walcott. The Army estimates that one in eight soldiers returning home from Iraq suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Symptoms of the disorder, once known as shell shock, include flashbacks, nightmares, feelings of detachment, irritability, trouble concentrating and sleeplessness.
Much about why painful memories come back to haunt soldiers and those who live through other traumatic experiences remains unknown. Scientists say that is because little is known about how the brain stores and recalls memories.
But in their early efforts to understand the way in which short-term memories become long-term memories, researchers have discovered that certain drugs can interrupt that process. Those same drugs, they believe, can also be applied not just in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event — like a mortar attack, rape or car accident — but years later, when an individual is still haunted by memories of event.
The hope is that a post-traumatic stress disorder patient can work with a psychiatrist and focus a traumatic event, take one of these drugs and then slowly forget that event. With that hope, however, comes a series of ethical concerns. What makes up our personalities — the essence of who we are as individuals — if not the collected memories of our experiences?
"This is all very preliminary," said Dr. Roger Pitman, a Harvard Medical School psychiatrist. "We're just getting started. There is some promising preliminary data but no conclusions."
Much of the research Pitman is currently conducting on human subjects at Massachusetts General Hospital focuses on altering memories in the immediate aftermath of a specific type of trauma — automobile accidents. Subjects who arrive in the hospital's emergency room are prescribed either the drug propranolol or a placebo.
Propranolol was originally developed to treat high blood pressure, but its effect on the hormone adrenaline has made it popular among actors dealing with severe stage fright, and scientists are now using it in their research on memory.
"There is a period of time after you first learn something before it's retained," Pitman explained. "This is called consolidation."
Some research has shown that stress hormones, particularly adrenaline, make that process faster and more intense.
"That's why you remember what you were doing the morning of Sept. 11, better than August 11," he said.
Some scientists believe that post-traumatic stress disorder is the result of too much adrenaline entering the brain at the moment the memory of a traumatic event is being consolidated, or stored, for the first time.
But "the real hot topic," Pitman said, is not consolidation but reconsolidation, the process by which an old memory is recalled and the same "window of opportunity" to alter it with drugs is opened for a second time.
By getting soldiers, or others who have lived through harrowing experiences, to remember their traumatic experiences through talking therapy, the theory goes, the chance to target and erase those memories presents itself.
Reconsolidation remains a "controversial" theory according to Pitman, but Joseph LeDoux, a psychologist at New York University's Center for Neural Science, said his recent experiments with rats adds to evidence that it's real.
LeDoux is not trying to create a drug to treat humans. For him, the specific drug isn't important. What is important is understanding the process by which memories are retained and altered.
"The idea is that memories are vulnerable. They can be improved or weakened. The main point is that we're trying to understand how this all works rather than come up with a drug."
An Ethical Firestorm -- 'A Genie in the Bottle'
But the idea of improving or weakening people's memories gives many medical ethicists pause. The President's Council on Bioethics has condemned memory-altering research. The National Institutes of Health, however, has funded some experiments that use propranalol for post-traumatic stress disorder treatment, and Pitman said he has received a grant from the Army to begin conducting similar research with Iraq veterans.
"There are several major concerns" about creating these kinds of drugs, said Felicia Cohn, a medical ethicist at University of California at Irvine's School of Medicine. "Is the act of altering memories even an appropriate medical intervention?" she asked.
Another set of "issues is related to consequences. What are the effects of altering a particular person's memory but not changing the context the person is living in. We might erase a young girl's memory of a rape, but people around her will still know and inadvertently remind her," Cohn said.
"It becomes a genie in the bottle question. Once a drug is available for use, it gets used appropriately and inappropriately. People could start going to physicians to forget they love chocolate. … Is it just for post-traumatic stress disorder and rape victims? Where do we draw the line? Who gets to decide what is horrific enough?"

The Drugging of our Children (Gary Null) (SSRI drug dangers)(Columbine shooting)

In the absence of any objective medical tests to determine who has ADD or ADHD, doctors rely in part on standardized assessments and the ... all » impressions of teachers and guardians while the they administer leave little room for other causes or aggravating factors, such as diet, or environment. Hence, diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the outcome, although no organic basis for either disease has yet to be clinically proven. Psychiatrists may then prescribe psychotropic drugs for the children without first without making it clear to parents that these medications can have severe side-effects including insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, psychotic symptoms and even potentially fatal adverse reactions, such as cardiac arrhythmia. And yet, despite these dangers, many school systems actually work with government agencies to force parents to drug their children, threatening those who refuse with the prospect of having their children taken from the home unless they cooperate

CLINTON NAMED AS LONGTIME SPOOK
Press Re-released Dec. 25, 2002
Press Release September 27, 1993
The Spotlight Newspaper
Washington D.C.
Volume XIX Number 39
Began Spying in College
A private researcher
claims to have found
"the smoking gun"
linking President Bill Clinton
to the CIA as a long-term
operative.
The ties were obvious in
the 1980's when the
agency used an airstrip
in western Arkansas as
part of a money laundering-
drugs for money scam
and continue today through
Clinton appointments.
EXCLUSIVE TO THE SPOTLIGHT
BY SPOTLIGHT STAFF
New information adduced by investigator Stew Webb points to the
likelihood that Bill Clinton has been a deep cover CIA agent since
his days at Georgetown University.
Ivy League schools are well known as a recruiting ground for the CIA.
The man Clinton defeated for the president, George H.W. Bush, an
alumnus of Yale, is widely believed to have been recruited as an
undergraduate.
CIA agents are sworn to place their loyalty to the agency above
anything else.
They are also expected to lie about their association with
"the Company" as it is called, whenever asked-including under oath.
Of course, the CIA has its unique ways to enforce discipline.
With a budget secret from the taxpayers and its unknown
(legal and illegal) businesses around the world, its total income is
estimated at $35 billion per year.
One of the businesses attributed to the CIA by many researchers is drug
and gun smuggling. The small airport at Mena, Arkansas, has long been
known as a transshipment pint used by the CIA.
Webb estimates that some 36 billion in drugs have gone through the
Mena airport during the years 1981 to 1988. (Iran/Contra)
Clinton was governor of Arkansas during the years 1979-81 and 1983-92.
The controlled press barely batted an eye when investigators revealed
Bill Clinton organized protests against the Vietnam War in Europe
and traveled behind the Iron Curtain as a Rhodes scholar in the 1960's.
The SPOTLIGHT has learned Clinton's trips were more than youthful
adventure. Clinton was working for the CIA, according to Webb.
According to sources within the CIA, Clinton was used by the agency
to infiltrate protest groups and report on their activities.
In addition, Clinton used his cover as a Rhodes scholar to view
the Khrushchev memoirs, then he stole documents for "the Company",
Webb said.
CORD MEYER
According to sources, Clinton was answering to London bureau
chief Cord Meyer when he took the Khrushchev documents.
Contacted in Washington recently, Meyer denied Clinton was working
for the agency (CIA).
Webb said his sources indicate former Time editor and Council on
Foreign Relations mouthpiece Strobe Talbott, international business
tycoon Ira Magaziner and a third Ivy League grad. at Oxford all
started careers with the CIA as they were schooled in England.
The one unidentified agent died shortly after returning to this
country. The other three engaged in brilliant careers that placed
them in influential positions the media, business and politics.
Talbott, for example, was able to influence international opinion
as a writer at Time and frequent talking head on infomercials-
public affairs propaganda aimed at enforcing the Establishment
line-such as Inside Washington. Talbott now serves as an
undersecretary of state.
Magaziner made millions of dollars as a management consultant
to major international corporations and as an advisor to Sweden
and Israel after graduating.
Today Magaziner handles the day-to-day operations of the
president's health care task force. One of the plans being pushed
forward by the task force is a national identification card,
which could be used to keep tabs on individuals around the
country (SPOTLIGHT, June 28,1993).
Clinton began a meteoric political rise culminating in his election
as president. Clinton appears to have helped the agency whenever
and wherever he could on his way to the top.
KHRUSHCHEV PAPERS
FIRST ASSIGNMENT
One of Bill Clinton's first assignments with the CIA was to sneak
into Moscow and bring out the Nikita Khrushchev memoirs, according to freelance investigator Stew Webb.
"I was told by two sources within the CIA that Bill Clinton has been
CIA since 1967 or 68," freelance investigator Stew Webb said.
"Clinton and a couple of others went to Moscow from Stockholm,
Sweden.
"They acted as a couple of Rhode scholars," he added. "They were
able to, for research purposes, view Khrushchev's memoirs.
They stole them for the CIA. They answered to a guy named
Cord Meyer."
Meyer served as the London CIA bureau chief while Clinton was
in England studying under the Rhodes scholarship program.
Clinton is also alleged to have infiltrated war protest groups
for the agency, giving the CIA names of fellow protesters
and the source of the movement's funding.
When Khrushchev Remembers was published in 16 different
languages in the early 1970s, it was denounced as a CIA trick.
INTERESTING HISTORY
Meyer's history with the agency is intertwined with recent
American history.
Meyer, for example, talked with teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa
the day after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
They maintained correspondence until the day Hoffa
disappeared, according to Webb.
Also, Meyer's ex-wife, Mary Pinchot Meyer, was murdered
October 12, 1964, shortly after deciding to publish her diary--
including details of an affair with JFK.
Webb said his sources tell him Mrs. Meyer's death was a CIA
hit ordered by James Angleton, a CIA counterintelligence specialist.
"She kept a diary on the affair," Webb said. "She announced
publicly to different people that she was having this affair with
Kennedy and she was going to print a book.
"All of a sudden she ended up dead, and her diary ends up
disappearing."
Sources say Angleton had the diary destroyed once it came into
his possession. In addition, Angleton handled the CIA's dealing
with the Warren Commission investigation of the Kennedy
assassination.
Angleton was Israel's chief advocate in the CIA.
