"Consider the fact that the wealth of the pharmaceutical industry is based primarily on three classes of drugs: cholesterol lowering drugs to prevent and treat heart disease and stroke, synthetic hormone therapy, and anti-depressants. Furthermore, remember that cancer therapy has become an industry focused on chemotherapy and radiation (with or without surgery). Yet, the historical fact is that there once were two roads. Medicine chose the one we now know as the standard approach to cancer, heart disease, menopause and mental illness." - Helke Ferrie, Dispatches From the War Zone of Environmental Health (Get the book.)
"Now let us suppose that the other road had been taken instead and had revealed that cholesterol has nothing much at all to do with the causation of heart disease and stroke; that synthetic hormone replacement therapy is a potentially fatal mistake; that treating cancer with toxic drugs and toxic rays stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of cancer; that anti-depressants do not restore the mind but actually can cause worse depression, suicide and violence as well as cancer, diabetes and irreversible brain damage."

| "Many anti-depressants work by inactivating the neurotransmitter inac-tivator enzyme. For example, some brain cells have a neutralizing enzyme called monoamine oxidase, or MAO for short, which neutralizes several of the amine neurotransmitters. One of the treatments of depression is aimed at increasing the amount of the neurotransmitter that elevates mood. This mood elevating neurotransmitter is called norepinephrine. MAO normally inactivates norepinephrine. Some anti-depressants also prevent re-uptake of the transmitter, thereby allowing mood elevating neurons to be stimulated longer." - Russell L.

| "I always manifested the symptom of extreme dry mouth sensation after being placed on anti-depressants. The symptom of anxiety then comes forth because of the additional need for water by the body. Add a prescribed anti-anxiety pill and the patient (me) was on chemical teeter-totter trying to achieve a balance of a normal life. Plus, in the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR), in the listing for the above medications is the nice word "suicide."
