Garber APA president 1970–1971 the insulin shock torture of Nobel Laureate Dr. John Nash). Dr. Bowman was |

the first chairman and director of the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute at the University of California San Francisco Hospital from (1941–1956) where he worked with former OSS/CIA employee Dr. Gregory Bateson who received funding from the CIA cutout the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation.

The subjects were injected with 150 microcuries of radioactive iodine-131 with the stated goal to test if there was a change in thyroid function by the tests in patients during or after insulin shock. The study reports marked drop in their radioactive iodine uptake curve as they improved during electroshock therapy, According to Dr. Miller nothing was accomplished. <ref>Bowman, K.M., E.R.

It was determined that electronarcosis was more damaging than insulin shock procedures.<ref> American Journal of Psychiatry Volume 105 Issue 1, July 1948, pp. 15-27 Studies In Electronarcosis Therapy Karl M.

They injected plutonium into three victims; one of the victims was Elmer Allen who injured his left knee in an accident. On July 14, 1947 Elmer Allen had been misdiagnosed suffering from cancer. Allen was injected with Plutonium in the left calf on July 18, 1947. The leg was amputated three days later, a consent form in the government file signed by Allen, did not detail what he was told, and his family described he did not understood what had happened. Elmer Allen began to tell people that he had been used as a guinea pig for plutonium injection study. Dr. David Williams diagnosed Allen as paranoid schizophrenic and made believe he was treating him for non existent schizophrenia. The radiation study continued until his death at the age of 80 in 1991. It was not until after his death that the truth came out that Allen was not mentally ill but really honestly telling the truth, it was shameful that no one in his family ever believed him while he was alive, they all felt betrayed by what they thought were medical professionals. This phenomena happens to all victims who are purposely iotrogenicly diagnosed with mental illness in a remotely managed deception campaign using classified technology designed to adversely manage the family interactions with the tortured victims to ensure the testing results remains out of the public domain. Dr. Hamilton became a researcher for the U.S. Army From 1949-1952l he was an adviser on weapons tests that scattered radiation to the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah he died in 1957 at age 49 of leukemia brought on by exposure to radiation. His death was listed as an industrial accident. After his death Dr. Austin Brues, the scientist at the Center for Human Radiobiology at Argone, learned that Elmer was in the hospital and sent a memo stating, should Elmer Allen show terminal signs at any time, we would appreciate a collect call to us at Argonne. When Elmer Allen died he was cremated and his remains were confiscated and studied.<ref>The Plutonium Files: America's Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War – October 10, 2000 by Eileen Welsome</ref> A similar method was used with almost 1000 victims of Jonestown who were cremated and allegedly all buried in a mass grave in Oakland California. A large portion of the members of the Jonestown cult were former patients that Jones recruited from closed California state mental institutes, many from the Mendocino hospital. The California Memorial Project disclosed the facts that from the mid 1880s to the 1960s, more than 45,000 people died while living in a state medical institutions. Their remains are for the most part in unmarked mass grave sites, this was a common practice in many states at psychiatric hospitals. In 2001 and 2006, then Senator Wesley Chesbro introduced legislation (SB 1448; SB 258) to establish the California Memorial Project (CMP) and expand its purpose. The combined intent of the two pieces of legislation was to: Identify the location of all grave sites at existing state hospitals and developmental centers; Identify the names of the patients whose remains were donated for medical research, and the entity which the remains were donated <ref>http://www.dsh.ca.gov/Hospitals/CMP_FactSheet.asp</ref> 500,000 to 2 million victims were experimented without their knowledge <ref> A Congressional subcommittee hearing in Washington, DC on September 28, 1994 revealed that 500,000 and possibly more Americans were endangered by secret defense related tests between 1940 and 1974, including covert experiments with radioactive materials, mustard gas, LSD, and biological agents. For example, between 1949 and 1969, the Army released radioactive compounds in 239 cities to study the effects.</ref> <ref> according to General Accounting Office testimony the hearings.Other secret tests were conducted on prisoners, terminally ill patients, military personnel, hospital patients,even children. At the time of the hearings, GAO officials stressed that the number of victims might increase, as new information was uncovered from Pentagon, CIA and the NSA.</ref> SA, and Energy Department files. The Committee had its origins when public controversy developed surrounding human radiation experiments that were conducted half a century ago. <ref>In November 1993, the Albuquerque Tribune published a series of articles that, for the first time, publicly revealed less than 1% of the names of Americans who had been injected with plutonium, the man-made material that was a key ingredient of the atom bomb.</ref> Reporter Eileen Welsome put a human face to what had previously been anonymous data published in official reports and technical journals. "As World War II was ending," she wrote, "Doctors in the United States injected a number of hospitalized patients with plutonium, most of the victims procedures were executed without their knowledge or consent. The injections were part of a group of experiments to determine how plutonium courses through the human body. The experiments, and the very existence of plutonium, were shrouded in secrecy."<ref>The Plutonium Files: America's Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War by Eileen Welsome October 10, 2000</ref> |
