I am guessing my comments will not make it through Drews ADMIN. Perhaps others may wish to comment :)

Perhaps if Drew would evolve from the 1930′s. stop being an evangelist for the AA faith, he would not have such a disastrous mortality rate. Perhaps if he were more honest about the fact that alcoholism and drug addiction is a behavior rather than an alleged ‘disease’ he would kill less people.
It is shameful how he exploits these people, kills them, profits from it, then washes his hands of it all using the trump card word ‘disease’ Drew “Dr Death” Pinsky belongs in jail.
I do hope in the meantime that he remains on the television so society can see what a fraud the recovery industry is.

We shall see if Dr. Drew is in denial and refuses to post comments about his actions or not...
Please note that this is comment 97 leading me to believe that 96 comments have already been turned down. Dr. Drew is in denial about his death rate and the fact that he is killing addicts and alcoholics on TV for fun and profit. He belongs in jail.

People with addiction problems
must really be stigmatized throwaway people in this old USA. A doctor in any other specialty would loose his liscence and probably be in prison if they practiced such abuse and quackery with such a high death toll.

The only time 2+2=5 is when someone stomps your face until you actually believe it does.
My question is... are the likes of Dr. Drew and such professional disinfo artists or do they not know they are mislead and misleading?

Dr. Dale Archer is a Dr. Drew wanna-be in training
Dr. Dale Archer is a Dr. Drew wanna-be in training. Actually Dr. Archer which is trying to blame the victim in his posing on DrDrew.com has more credentials than Dr. Drew and has actually worked as a prison psychologist recruiting criminals for Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous to go to meetings where children daycare and events are held regularity (i.e. Churches).
Here is info on the soon to be infamous Dr. Dale Archer following in the footsteps of Dr. Drew - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Archer

Well as can be seen by the lack of allowing postings in this article Mr. Archer, most people disagree with your assessment of this situation of Dr. Drew publicly humiliating addicts and alcoholics for fun and profit. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Take Care,
JR Harris

Drew Pinsky how much did it take to trade your doctor's soul for the trappings of fame and ratings? You know Drew Pinsky, how much money did it take for you to violate your dr's oath of " first do no harm"?
You are a supposed doctor of medicine, a real doctor yet why do you favor god as a treatment instead of science based proven treatment for alcoholics and addicted people. Your quackery is killing people- thank you for exposing the fraud that is the faith based treatment methodology. Drew Pinsky please wake up from your money grubbing coma.
The post # did not exist for my comment.
It does not surprise me that Archer plays the victim blame game. This is the epitome of AA law ,that if a person in crisis dies it is because they did not work the faith based methodology of any 12 step recovery program . The steps have their own built in not my fault clause, it is the dead victims fault because everyone knows 'it works if you work it' and obviously the victim did not work it .
It is disgusting and sickening that these people use this dogma to rationalize away all liability in Mindy's unfortunate demise. Rather than acknowledge that "celeb rehab" created a problem, a stigma that was due to the humilulating fashion that Mindy was treated by celab rehab and their staff as she was allowed to go into seizures, her dignity shattered as celeb rehab nationally televised these seizures to boost the shows ratings . As a result of this traumatizing treatment, which in reality was really medically negligent treatment, she developed a stigma or phobia of asking for and getting assistance when she was in crisis. The show created a stigma and fear of asking for help. The show shattered her dignity and she never got the assistance from 'celeb rehab' to get it back. The end result she was unable to ask for help when she needed it the most.
It doesn't take a weatherman to tell you which way the wind is blowing.
Drew Pinsky, Archer, Forest are criminals of the worst kind and it is disgusting and so freaking sad that they play the 'blame the victim' card that is born of the faith based escape liability at all cost mentality. The old not my fault that they are dead because the victim didn't believe enough . It is just sickening .
Forest is prepping the masses - that sure- there are going to be many ,many more deaths. He is correct if these charlatans of- faith based -recovery quackery do not change their ways and don't stop exploiting human beings in crisis for television rating ,fame and money. Sure science based proven recovery treatment is not as seizing and ratable as faith based lunacy, though it saves lives.
In my book celeb rehab is criminally liable for being medically negligent using the holy ghost to cure addicts and alcoholics, what quackery and violation of the hippocratic oath - of first do no harm.
No it does not surprise me that these men back pedal from all responsibility from this preventable tragic death by blaming the victim. I guess the money that the faith based recovery industry makes is worth far more than the collateral damage that it does, death. Bob Forest is correct many more are going to die, until this lunacy changes and science based proven recovery treatment is the norm of the day instead of the quackery that exists to this day .

Good Video J.R.Harris
What the lawyer said=the most dangerous person in AA is the person with about 1to1 1/2years in the cult.The one who will say"Yeah,I was just like you when I came here.{I wanted to think for myself} I could not see why I NEEDED A SPAWNSPORE or needed to do all 12 steps.But now{ie now that I have become brain-dead and brainwashed} now I understand why spawnspore shit is necessary and OMG my life is soo lah dee dah wunderful.Oh yes I am soo haappy now" and the newbie accepts-degradation,humiliation and mind control.One ,GOB,good ole boy said how"I lost the right to think for myself" Wanted to say so then STOP THINKING, if you can.Enjoy intelligent comments lawyer made about cult-think-speak and mind. FNG's- F--ing New Guy is dangerous,with his 1 year of cult exspearients.Heard another-wait at least 1 year {ie until we have your mind under our control} then attend College and learn about real therapy. Asked one with her "degree in psycholgy "to help me to find a hypnotherapist, but that's not how an AA therapist works.Good postHarris.A warning about how deadly a sidewinder this newly brainwashed idiot is.Prem has said'If you ask me _Is it raining.Well look outside and see for yourself.I do not want you to belive because I said something>I want you to see for yourself."also said
"Until a person learns to think for himsself,change is impossible.Only when a person begins to think for his or her own self does it become possible to have change."
Quote is not 100% word for word,but it is the difference between Prem/Maharaji and the others.
PREM OFFERS an EXPERIENCE of self/energy /peace.Not just talk,talk,talk.Believe,believe,believe.
"Believe nothing,even if I have told you myself.Unless and until you have experienced it for yourself."

Sandy B.Again My respect.
Read the authors report.When he cited the MURDERS at Syanon,that part was the most important part.
Killing for fun and profit.Dead for nothing but sadistic amusement.With society standing by and applauding.It has again hit me that the entire premise of our prison system is WRONG.Nothing is accomplished by locking someone up and subjecting them to the same abuse that created the criminal
mind,psyche.Abuse simply creates more abuse and the cycle is fueled.When my mother and father tried to reform Bridgewater State Correctional for the Criminally Insane.The guards sabotaged all.Why help these sick ones to heal and returnt o society reformed when we get apid to be guards.The entire system is diseased.Synanon was simplu an outgrowth of the idea,accepted by society that by sadistic treatment,
solitary confinement,bars,gang rapes,stabbings we can force these subhumans=criminals to change.
Once saw Tv show about Canadian Prisons and how recidivism was maybe 30% as opposed to 75%+ in USA. Thye actually gave humane treatment ,rehab,education,half/ways houses and by seeing possibilty of having a good life,job,home these "criminals "were changed.Sorry,but Prem is now giving Knowledge/ experience of self/inner peace topeople in prisons.Thye are happy to have this experience. Motivates me.
I am not in prison{except my mind,anger,pain,rage,fear,sadness},but these guys in prison are having an experience of light,inner music,feeling energy and water liquid energy inside.And inside of prison they are having an exeprience of peace. In prison thye have peace.So what is my excuse? real kick backside to wake up and practise this knowledge which I have been given.I am lazy,biggest problem,I have.
Long winded writer.I {ego}would have written the book about syanon with less pedantics and more about the SUICIDES and the MURDERS .Those FACTS have more impact than all scholarly semaniticism.
Shine LIGHT upon the truth and people will see."What is hidden shall be seen." All Bibles/religions.
