CHEMICAL IMBALANCE  San Diego Union-Tribune  11/16 03 C3 "Mets scout will 
be canned after racial remarks." 

 In the fallout from his drunken and insulting remarks to Kim Ng, superscout Bill Singer 
is about to become the shortest-lived Mets front office executive in team history.  

In the immediate aftermath of the incident in Phoenix, Singer met privately with 
Duquesne (Mets GM Jim Duquette)  and offered his explanation for the incident, saying 
that he had been on a low-carbohydrate diet, which caused him to suffer a chemical 
imbalance in conjunction with drinking alcohol.  "That didn't was with Jim and it sure 
won't wash with Fred," a Mets source said in reference to Mets owner Fred Wilpon.  
"Plain and simple, there's no excuse for that kind of behavior, and there's no saving this 
guy." 

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Do you suppose the "chemical imbalance" diagnosis came from his psychiatrist…a
board-certified psychiatrist. The fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as a
"chemical imbalance" diagnosed by psychiatrists; this was a market-place concept
invented in 60's put forth at a Congressional hearing in 1970 and ever since, the stuff of a
"big lie"…"chemical imbalances" for which to prescribe and sell "chemical balancers"
…pills. What's more the FDA is a full partner in this. They know all drugs as foreign
compounds are poisons who's benefits are to be carefully weighed against the risks of the
disease to be treated. They at the FDA know there are no diseases/physical risk in the
psychiatry risk vs. benefit analysis and yet, along the psychopharm cartel they push the
fraudulent notion of psychiatric "disease"/ " chemical imbalance." ]
