FDA: MORNING-AFTER PILL OK FOR AGES 15 AND UP

FDA: MORNING-AFTER PILL OK FOR AGES 15 AND UP


The government on Tuesday lowered to 15 the age at which girls can buy the morning-after pill without a prescription and said the emergency contraception no longer has to be kept behind pharmacy counters.

The decision by the Food and Drug Administration is an attempt to find middle ground just days before a court-imposed deadline to lift all age restrictions on the drug.

Be Skeptical of Pharmaceutical Company Claims

Be Skeptical of Pharmaceutical Company Claims


Ben Goldacre's TEDTalk describes the selective bias in research and publishing which strongly favors articles with positive outcomes. In my field of psychiatry, this bias is only the tip of the iceberg. In many cases, the articles are not even written by the scientists whose names appear on them. They are "ghostwritten" by drug company minions.
In my role as a medical expert in product liability lawsuits against drug companies, judges have empowered me to dig into the otherwise secret interiors of drug company data vaults...

Published articles about psychiatric drugs frequently fail to reflect the actual results of the study. After the FDA rejected an antidepressant clinical trial for failing to demonstrate effectiveness, the pharmaceutical company authored a paper based on the same study that was manipulated to show a positive outcome.

DEA REPORT ADD/ADHD Statement of Drug Enforcement Administration

DEA REPORT ADD/ADHD Statement of Drug Enforcement Administration


TONY DIGIROLAMO- THIS WAS AN ALERT BACK IN 2003 BUT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS STUFF FOR YEARS LONGER. WHAT THE DRUGS HAVE DONE IN THE MINDS OF MANY YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE CREATED MONSTERS.
And it's the drugs!
Look at this from over seas who seem to see these problems earlier:
24-7PressRelease.com - SWEDEN, October 29, 2005 - From the depths of the archives at the Swedish Medical Products Agency (MPA) some astonishing papers have emerged. Papers showing that Ritalin, prescribed to children with the diagnosis ADHD, causes depression and has led to suicides and suicide attempts.

The MPA knew about these disastrous effects when approving Ritalin for sales in Sweden June 15 this year. No warnings were given to physicians or the public.

FDA announced June 28 that Ritalin and other methylphenidate drugs had been linked to "visual hallucinations, suicidal ideation, psychotic behavior, as well as aggression or violent behaviour". Nothing was said about suicides or suicide attempts.
Doesn't this at least peak your interest that we have done something horrific in this country in the lives of our kids.
We've been lulled and numbed by these drug dangers and the warnings right before our eyes.
