 "This may soon include the mandatory prescribing of dangerous drugs such as antidepressants for pregnant women, (something far too many doctors are already doing)! Is there no end to the tremendous influence the pharmaceutical giants seem to have, regarding decisions made by our own government, which influence the passage of legislation designed to help promote their "very profitable drugs"?
As you are about to learn, we now have "ample proof from epidemiological studies, that the SSRI antidepressants such as Prozac?and Paxil?"- Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - dangerous drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "What a terrible travesty, due to the dramatic influence it can have on a child's future physical and mental health; something those promoting these dangerous drugs won't be forced to deal with, although it comes at a terrible cost to millions of innocent victims that, unfortunately will. How Does The Fluoride In Prozac?Cause Such Fatigue? Many who have chronic fatigue, often experience adrenal fatigue as well. As we learned, due to the 200% increase of the stress hormone Cortisol, which Prozac?causes "on a daily basis", the adrenals eventually become exhausted." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - dangerous drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "Although it was the current, very aggressive, promotion of the potentially dangerous drugs to our children that prompted me to write this book, I soon realized that millions of adults have already been taking them for years. That especially applies to the SSRI antidepressants, although recently, many more adults have begun taking Ritalin?as well. It's basically a legal stimulant, very similar to cocaine, just in a milder form. Unfortunately, it greatly increases the risk of eventually graduating to more serious drugs, such as cocaine." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - dangerous drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "For those who might also have trouble metabolizing proteins, this could be an extremely dangerous combination, with the potential for a deadly build up of drugs and toxins in the system. The only real solution is to get off the SSRI antidepressant! This becomes evident when you consider the autopsy report of a young woman, who stabbed herself to death after being on the SSRI antidepressant Paxil?for just two weeks: "Her autopsy revealed a high blood level of Paxil, which reflects poor metabolization, a feature common in many SSRI suicide cases" (http://www.sierratimes." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - dangerous drugs on Trial (Get the book.) |
 "David Graham of the FDA isolated Serevent as being one of five dangerous drugs still on the market in testimony before Congress, describing Serevent users as "dying while clutching their inhalers."- J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) |
 "Although reducing health costs is important, making people take potentially dangerous drugs simply because they're less expensive than the alternatives is a mistake.
In the past, and occasionally still today, I prescribed another drug that is usually used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, an illness in which fatigue is often prominent. Selegeline (Eldepryl) also appears to have a role in the treatment of fatigue that is unrelated to Parkinson's."- Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "It follows that for most people, this perfectly normal (or at least expected) suffering of the human condition should not be treated with powerful and even dangerous drugs.
For all the time and money and effort put into the treatment of mental illness, little has been accomplished. Few lives are saved. Not many are improved. An entire culture has come to rely on drugs to keep them happy.
Thus, our conclusion: were psychiatry and its related disciplines and professions to disappear, not much would change, at least in terms of mortality and morbidity."- Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) |
| "David Graham to cite Bextra as one of the five most dangerous drugs on the market in November 2004. In January 2005 insurer Kaiser Perma-nente took Bextra off its formulary, reasoning that the risks of the drug outweighed the benefits. Under a storm of controversy Pfizer finally pulled the drug from the market in April 2005.
Celebrex (or celecoxib, the generic name), marketed by Pfizer and Pharmacia, is a COX-2 inhibitor still on the market in the U.S." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) |
 "It helps with nerves and helps with memory improvement (why take dangerous drugs). Mega doses of Vitamin C can help infertile men and also seems to play a role in anti-cancer therapies. Vitamin E guards the nerves and is effective against narrowing of the arteries. Vitamin D is crucial for the immune system and may play a role in cancer prevention as well. And so we could go on and on, but the truth is that other authors have researched the power of vitamins already very well, so why compete with them?"- Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) |
 "In 1951 Congress had tried to protect Americans from dangerous drugs they did not need by amending the law to require patients to get prescriptions from physicians for most medications. Before that, pharmacists could give consumers whatever drugs they desired. This protection, however, was fast disappearing in the land of McMedicine.
A few supermarkets and pharmacies had even begun to add their own in-store medical clinics, allowing a customer to see a health professional for a prescription and then finish her shopping while it was filled."- Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) |
 "Are there any advantages to these dangerous drugs? Dr. Breggin responds, "By suppressing dopamine neurotransmission in the brain, they directly impair the function of the basal ganglia and the emotion-regulating limbic system and frontal lobes. The overall impact is a chemical lobotomy. The patient complains less and becomes more manageable. The neuroleptics mainly suppress aggression, rebelliousness, and spontaneous activity."- Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "On one hand, schools are saying 'just say no to drugs' and on the other hand, the school system, infiltrated by psychiatrists and psychologists, is pushing more dangerous drugs than what the child could be getting on the street." Dr. Braughman says that behind the overmedicating of children lies the fact that "the schools today are in disarray. They confuse psychology and psychiatry with education." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
 "For the millions of patients already exposed to these dangerous drugs, the warnings came much too late—and too often continue to be ignored with catastrophic results for patients and their families.
GSK CONFESSES: PAXIL CAUSES SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR IN ADULTS
FINALLY IN 2005 TO 2006, the FDA gave more specific public notice of its concern that the newer antidepressants might also be causing suicidality in adults."- Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |
 "The agency has approved dangerous drugs far too quickly and then failed to monitor them once they hit the market. Meanwhile, say critics, the drug industry is designing biased clinical trials, recruiting compliant academics to run them, controlling the analysis and write-up of the results, and then using freebies to help peddle its slanted results to gullible doctors. The industry has also engaged in the says. "I was at a seminar with Bob Goodman, founder of No Free Lunch. He gave a talk about pharmaceutical company influence. There was stony silence at the end of his presentation. No applause."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "The good news is a long-term study of depression has revealed new ways to treat it without dangerous drugs.
Get physical. Exercise gets you out of the house, encourages you to interact with others and meet new people, and gets your mind off your problems. Numerous studies show that people who get regular exercise are less likely to become depressed than people who don't. Exercise actually stimulates the production of dopamine and serotonin, chemicals in your brain that lift your spirits."- Frank K. Wood, Natural Cures and Gentle Medicines: That Work Better Than dangerous drugs or Risky Surgery (Get the book.) |
 "Why are dangerous drugs allowed into the marketplace? Pharmaceutical companies control the flow of information to the extent that they can tilt decision-making so that substances with no proven benefits, yet significant risks, are allowed on the market, to be dispensed by physicians operating with misleading and incomplete information.
To begin with, the FDA allows researchers connected to pharmaceutical companies, who have a financial stake in the outcome, to be members of drug approval advisory panels (often making up 50% of the members). [5]
And the evidence these panels are reviewing?"- Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey, The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children (Get the book.) |
 "Potential sources of conflict of interest that might allow dangerous drugs to hit the marketplace and be marketed to billions of consumers are getting more media attention. The FDA is making new rulings to eliminate conflicts of interest between doctors who work for the FDA and get paid by drug companies to research and promote their products. Consumers are also becoming more active in researching the drugs their doctors prescribe and working with their medical teams to make educated decisions about what to take—or not."- Hyla Cass, M.D., Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.) |
 "In other words, taking statins may send you down a spiral of degeneration that you cannot stop unless you stop using these dangerous drugs.
I found in my own practice that regular statin users accumulate an excessive amount of cholesterol stones in the bile ducts of their liver and gallbladder, which can lead to a vast number of chronic diseases (see The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush for details).
Before you decide to take LIPITOR or other statins, consider these basic points:
• You need to tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to any other drugs."- Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Tylenol Extra Strength "cool caplets," the latest craze among painkilling medications, makes these dangerous drugs appear harmless. It's both a breath mint and a pain reliever. But is it really a sound idea to add the temptation of flavoring to a pain-reliever that, by the FDA's own admission, plays a role in at least 100 reported (a fraction of the real figure) unintentional deaths each year? This may change now that the scandals surrounding drug approval and the revelations concerning shoddy research are increasingly being exposed; or will it?" - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) |
 "Although Jeffrey is just one prime example, there are many more children in the nation needlessly placed, and often left on these potentially dangerous drugs for years. A food allergy is quite often the underlying problem, and sugar, milk, and sometimes wheat are the most common allergens. Although the natural solution is often very simple, it is seldom considered, but as usual with our broken healthcare system, it is instead just treated with drugs.
The long-term potential for children taking these serious drugs cannot be overstated. Zoloft?and Prozac?"- Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) |
| "Yet the crime against humanity is not the insult, but the denial of adequate tools for maintaining dependent normalcy and the aggressive marketing of dangerous drugs.
The insulin cartel, including the ADA, spent millions of dollars to study "tight control." After arriving at logical, foregone conclusions that promoted "tight" control, new evidence now indicates that "good" or "tight" control is also associated with significant risk factors of another kind." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.) |
 "Strand, author, Death By Prescription
How do you sell useless but dangerous drugs to people who don't need them? It's simple: marketing. Drug companies spend billions on drug marketing—more, in fact, than they spend on drug research. The purpose of that marketing is to make prescription drugs look safe and effective (for treating something, anything), and then convince consumers to walk into their doctors' offices and ask for those drugs by name.
The tactic works."- Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) |
| "They have the knowledge to serve patients by demanding that dangerous drugs be removed from the market. Their professional knowledge allows them to translate "anecdotal stories" into meaningful statistics that impact on patient welfare.
Another important consideration is the recent introduction of "counterfeit" drugs that have entered the system. Large wholesale pharmacy suppliers must be more cognizant of their sources.3 The pharmacists who deal directly with patients need to know more about the pills dispensed than the description on the computer." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.) |
| "Attempted to silence its own drug safety scientists to prevent them from going public with the truth about dangerous drugs.
Censored scientific information about the benefits of natural foods like cherries by threatening cherry growers with legal action if they did not remove scientific information about cherries from their websites.
Pursued and shut down companies selling genuine cancer cures that provably work better than any prescription drug (such as Lane Labs' MGN-3)." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) |
| "What Barkley and others of his ilk did, and continue to do, is provide a legitimate sounding excuse for making normal aspects of childhood itself a disease and excuse the forcible administration of dangerous drugs. In short, I witnessed the growth of a new class of health care professionals who advocated child abuse under the guise of "treatment." - Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey, The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children (Get the book.) "Not only are children harmed with a demeaning label and dangerous drugs, but their very evolution as people may be stunted. The "Fails to follow rules of games" inadvertently gets at what is really going on with the push to label so many children with ADHD. Kids who do not adhere to the rules of their educational environments, a game where the "winners" are rewarded for being quiet, compliant, and doing what they are told with no fuss or bother, are branded as losers whose bad brains interfere with their playing as they should." - Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey, The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children (Get the book.) "SMOKE AND MIRRORS One of the favorite tactics of those who promote invented diseases and ineffective, dangerous drugs is taking unsupported assumptions and weak correlations and presenting them as root causes. For example, functional brain scans (those which show the different 'set' of the brain corresponding to different moods) show the brains of depressed people to look different than those who are not depressed, a finding used to justify the belief that it too is a disease." - Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey, The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children (Get the book.) |
| "A very recent news article (2004), titled "FDA Accused of Silencing Vioxx Warnings,"7 by AP science writer Diedtra Henderson, adds further to the belief that those empowered do run interference and are complicit in keeping dangerous drugs in the marketplace. Dr. David Graham, associate director for science in the FDA, was quoted as saying he faced stiff resistance to reporting his findings regarding the increased dangers of heart disease and stroke associated with Vioxx." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.) "Dangerous Drugs Approved by the FDA, Public Campaign, 09/29/1999. • FDA's Counsel Accused of Being Too Close To Drug Industry, - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.) |
 "The drug companies have brainwashed you—if you have constipation you go to the drug store, you spend huge, insane money to buy stupid, dangerous drugs called laxatives. Folks, this is the brainwashing of America by the drug companies—all in the name of profit. These drugs called laxatives are dangerous poisons. Yes, they will make you have a bowel movement, but they are dangerous, toxic, poisonous drugs. They are incredibly expensive and they are categorically no more effective than castor oil or prunes and prune juice."- Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) |
