Mass Hysteria and Island communities

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: May 16, 2008

Well. Consider this as a little update. I said something about this mass hysteria thing before. I tried some how to make the Makunudhoo island crisis and the Nigerian Genitalia Vanishing Epidemic look similar. In Congo this year (2008) sorcerers were arrested for stealing penises (again? u must be joking?). In Maldives this year [...]

Nigerian Genitalia Vanishing Epidemic of 1990

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: May 13, 2008

We heard about the fainting and pseudoseizures that are happening in Makunudhoo. Now hear about the NIGERIAN GENITALIA VANISHING EPIDEMIC OF 1990.

Nigerian Genitalia Vanishing Epidemic of 1990
During 1990, an episode of “vanishing” genitalia caused widespread fear across Nigeria. Native psychiatrist Sunny Ilechukwu (1992) said that most reports of attacks involved male victims. Accusations were usually [...]

Himmafushi and drugs: The link

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: May 8, 2008

Any one thought of this? A big chunk of people involved as jail keepers or guards are from the island of K. Himmafushi. When the jail was based in Himmafushi, the Himmafushians saw an opportunity to earn extra money and that came in the form of drug trade to the inmates and later to the [...]

State of children

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: May 7, 2008

500 Ruffiya (roughly 40 $) for compensation to the child who is partially blind from a pen thrown by the teacher tells us everything we need to know.   There is no justice for the children of this country. Again and again, the court system keeps failing the children.

The despicable Act

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: April 27, 2008

We all know about  the rising number of child abuse cases this country of ours is facing. Who is to blame? Who should be made responsible? What is contributing to such ? Is it the parents who are at fault here? Or is it due to  some one else?
We do need answers to these. A [...]

Psychiatric Drug Facts

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: March 26, 2008

Anti psychotic? Meet Dr. Peter Breggin.

Any significant curtailment in the prescription of psychiatric drugs will have to come as a result of actions taken outside the medical profession and outside the pharmaceutical industry. Ultimately, it’s up to individuals to decide that there are better ways of overcoming emotional problems than impairing their brain and mind [...]

God Damn Maldive media

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: March 17, 2008

It has been 2 days since a high profile person from the Presidents Office had been “arrested”, “taken away”, “abducted” or kept out from the publics eye . This “noble” person seems to have been sexually abusing his own daughter since she was nine years old. Only one newspaper has so far covered this. Yes. [...]

An Idea that has been going on for some time

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: February 27, 2008

Why not make a network among the parents whose children have been disabled due to negligence, from the mistreatment and malpractice. May be the NGOs can lead this initiative. NGOs like Care Society can do this as they claim they are there for the vulnerable and as an advocate for the disabled.

This network can [...]

Maldives about to embrace Scientology as the solution to drug problem

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: February 24, 2008

It is official. Maldives is seeking help from Narconon International. Mid last year, this blog brought up the subject of possibly using Scientology’s principles in taking care of the drug problem faced by the nation. Next we are going to hear billionaire James Packer taking control of all our prisons. All actors like that [...]

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: February 12, 2008

I blogged on this issue of MMR vaccine sometime back. Like i said then, and even now i am not against the MMR vaccine. My whole purpose is to make people aware of whats happening.



  • Michelle: I respect other cultures, I am taking a cultural diversity class at columbus state community college in ohio right now. I understand that certain cult
  • John Barry: I felt extremely moved by watching this clip. I am already aware of what happens in Daarfur and during Genocide, and this is almost enough to be labe
  • Abdulla: BY the way, GOD does not like any of us. He has programmed all of us (in our genes) to age, get diseased and die. That is if we don't get unfairly kil
