6. The Aversion Project Top 10 Evil Human Experiments | March 14, 2008 South Africa’s apartheid army forced white lesbian and gay soldiers to undergo ‘sex-change’ operations in the 1970′s and the 1980′s, and submitted many to chemical castration, electric shock, and other unethical medical experiments. Although the exact number is not known, former apartheid army surgeons estimate that as many as 900 forced ‘sexual reassignment’ operations may have been performed between 1971 and 1989 at military hospitals, as part of a top-secret program to root out homosexuality from the service. Army psychiatrists aided by chaplains aggressively ferreted out suspected homosexuals from the armed forces, sending them discretely to military psychiatric units, chiefly ward 22 of 1 Military Hospital at Voortrekkerhoogte, near Pretoria. Those who could not be ‘cured’ with drugs, aversion shock therapy, hormone treatment, and other radical ‘psychiatric’ means were chemically castrated or given sex-change operations. Although several cases of lesbian soldiers abused have been documented so far—including one botched sex-change operation—most of the victims appear to have been young, 16 to 24-year-old white males drafted into the apartheid army. Dr. Aubrey Levin (the head of the study) is now Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry (Forensic Division) at the University of Calgary’s Medical School. He is also in private practice, as a member in good standing of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. listverse.com/2008/03/14/top-10-evil-human-experiments/____________________________ Gays tell of mutilation by apartheid army | Johannesburg The Guardian, Saturday 29 July 2000 01.10 BST The part-man, part-woman who still calls himself Harold is trying to gather the courage to finally fight back against South Africa's military..... An as-yet unpublished report, called the Aversion Project, commissioned by gay rights groups and South Africa's medical research council, details the extent of the abuses and is expected to form the basis of demands for corrective treatment, and demands that the doctors behind the "treatments" be held accountable by the medical authorities. The attempts to "cure" homosexuals began after the creation of the infamous ward 22 at the Voortrekkerhoogte military hospital near Pretoria in 1969. The ward, which ostensibly catered for servicemen with psychological problems, was under the command of an army colonel and psychologist, Aubrey Levin. www.theguardian.com/world/2000/jul/29/chrismcgreal

Antidepressant Paxil Isn't Safe for Teens, New Analysis Says Review of study data contradicts findings reported in 2001 Thursday, September 17, 2015 WEDNESDAY, Sept. 16, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- A controversial clinical trial of the antidepressant Paxil came to the wrong conclusion when it declared the drug safe and effective for treating troubled teenagers, according to a reanalysis of the original data more than a decade later... This reassessment was prompted by the RIAT (restoring invisible and abandoned trials) initiative, launched by an international group of researchers, Nardo said. RIAT calls for the public release of data behind unpublished or questionable clinical trials so that outside experts can check the findings, he explained... Despite this, more than 2 million prescriptions were written for U.S. children and teenagers in 2002, spurred by a marketing campaign that said Study 329 had demonstrated Paxil's "remarkable efficacy and safety," Doshi wrote. more: www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_154655.html September 16, 2015, 6:59 PM Popular antidepressant Paxil not safe or effective for teens, study finds The widely prescribed antidepressant paroxetine -- sold under the names Paxil, Aropax and Seroxat -- has been found to be neither a safe nor effective treatment for depression in adolescents, according a new reanalysis of research originally published in 2001. The new paper is published today in The BMJ [http://press.psprings.co.uk/bmj/september/paroxetine.pdf (16 pp)]. It contradicts the findings of the original study, which was funded by the drug's manufacturer and concluded that paroxetine was safe and effective in treating major depression [Another study finds link between antidepressants and birth defects, www.cbsnews.com/news/another-study-finds-link-between-antidepressants-and-birth-defects/] in children and teens. www.cbsnews.com/news/paxil-antidepressant-ineffective-unsafe-for-teens-study-finds/
