Medtronic’s implantable OCD treatment okayed by FDA

Looks like those brain pacemaker researchers are a bit late on this one, as folks at Medtronic are apt to get the jump on advanced OCD treatment given a recent FDA approval of their device. Hailed as the first implantable device “designed to deliver electrical therapy to the brain to suppress symptoms associated with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder,” the Reclaim DBS (deep brain stimulation) Therapy was said to be able to treat OCD patients in cases where drugs and psychotherapy failed. Understandably, Medtronic is doing everything it can to get the product out by the middle of this year, and following up on its good fortune, it also proclaimed that it had started up a randomized clinical trial of DBS for treatment-resistant depression. There’s no mention of an expected price, but apparently only 4,000 or so will be needed each year.
Does it matter that human microchipping is a violation of at least nineteen of the United Nations – Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Well it seems that Wall Street does not answer to the moral and ethic construct…
I stumbled onto your site, and think you did an fantastic job. I am very motivated as a Ti and human rights activist. There is power in numbers and making contact and coordinating with others in our situation is important. I have a Web site https://www.unwittingvictim.com In my case I am very grounded, with a stable foundation, although the perpetrators are short circuiting my short term memory and stopping my free ability to think. I am in communication with other well grounded group leaders in the US on a daily basis. We could possibly combine our efforts on a project that we find mutually beneficial and motivating. We need to ensure we follow through with any of our efforts, while combining our individual efforts to form a stronger and more powerful whole. We are all adversely affected, mind bending is the only word that I can think of that conveys what our, the Ti community’s, knowledge base suffers through. We need join forces to ensure we are a force to be reckoned with on a project of our choosing. We would be a group of Ti’s who have awareness foundation, understand the gravity of the harm and hardship, are well grounded, and are motivated.
