How FDA and Big Pharma mislead millions into taking dangerous anti-depressants

Thursday, March 01, 2012 by: Paul Fassa

(NaturalNews) The anti-depressant fraud toothpaste is out of the tube, at least partly. A Harvard Medical School psychologist, Irving Kirsch, who has been studying placebo effects for three decades, recently came up with the documented conclusion that pharmaceutical anti-depressants don't work.

This is big news for many Natural News readers and writers. But this conclusion had the prescription-pad psychiatrists and FDA crying foul, loudly. Why? Kirsch's conclusion was featured in a national CBS 60 Minutes television report.

Even more importantly, Kirsch's conclusion was evidence based on documents from obtained using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Those documents were trial results from drug companies that were not published and presented to the FDA.

The great government hoax of public safety

Thursday, March 01, 2012
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com

Have you ever noticed that every time the government forces somebody into doing something at gunpoint, they always claim it's for "public safety?"

Rawesome Foods raid? Public safety.

Forced innoculations of children? Public safety.

Searching the sack lunches of children who go to public school? Public safety.

But in my op-ed piece today, I argue that government-run "public safety" is a complete hoax. The government actually makes our lives more dangerous, not safer. Here's why:

http://www.naturalnews.com/035116_government_public_safety_democide.html

"The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man's self-defense, and, as such, may only resort to force only against those who start the use of force." -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author Source: "Atlas Shrugged"

It is the means by which copyright advances the progress of science and art." -- Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-) American jurist, first female member of the Supreme Court of the United States Source: Feist Publications, Inc. v.

The Balanced Mind Foundation Family Therapy

Evidence-Based Family Therapy

Mary Fristad, Ph.D. David Miklowitz, Ph.D Mani Pavuluri, M.D., Ph.D. I am pleased to present to you three leading models for family therapy. These three models, developed by Mary Fristad, Ph.D., David Miklowitz, Ph.D., and Mani Pavuluri, M.D., PhD are among the very few Evidence Based Treatments for families raising children with bipolar disorder. What is Evidence Based Treatment and why is it important? Evidence Based Treatment encourages clinicians to consider empirical evidence (research) and clinical expertise when implementing treatment. It's important because it has a greater chance of success. Early and effective treatment reduces the likelihood that your child will need repeated therapeutic interventions. (Think of the old adage, "Do it right the first time"). While you may not have access to one of these researchers and their treatment programs, you can print the following article and discuss it with your family therapist. Family therapy is an important component of your child's treatment regime. Family therapy does NOT mean that you are a bad parent or a dysfunctional family. On the contrary, it means that you are a good parent who is trying to address a very difficult illness. Mood disorders have a profound effect on the entire family. Gone are the days when we whispered about seeking therapy. Family therapy is as important to a child with a mood disorder as consultations from a dietician are to the parents of a diabetic child. It takes a long time for Evidence Based Treatments to move from receiving accolades in top science journals to being put into practice by your local clinician. The Balanced Mind Foundation hopes to help improve the dissemination of knowledge. Read on, and discuss this information with your child's treatment team. An educated and informed parent--YOU-- is the best advocate for your child's wellness! We are grateful to Drs. Fristad, Miklowitz and Pavuluri for sharing their wisdom with us and to Northwestern student, Sara Fletcher for compiling this vital information.

What is Peace of Mind Worth to You?

Paula Giovacchini, M.A. Development Director What is peace of mind worth to you? How much time have you spent researching resources for your child? More importantly, how fragile is your child, and how important is to find the right doctor, therapist, school or summer camp? Recall that feeling of relief when you received a resource from another mom who has walked in your shoes. "Carrie" (name changed), was new to The Balanced Mind Foundation. She approached us last week looking for a summer camp for her twelve year old son. He desperately needs a safe environment to build his self confidence and help him learn social skills. His moods whipsaw and he has trouble keeping friends.  School is very stressful for him. His siblings and parents desperately need a few weeks of respite from the effects of his illness. Carrie had received a recommendation about one camp, but she wanted to speak to another mom who had "walked in her shoes." Carrie needed help! We referred Carrie to a veteran Help Line volunteer who lived a mile away from her and whose child had attended the summer camp she had in mind. We also sent her several resource links compiled by Amy D., one of our dedicated volunteers, including The Balanced Mind Foundation’s online professional resource directory. Carrie is now loaded with information, resources and recommendations from experienced moms also raising children with mood disorders. Carrie is one of thousands of parents The Balanced Mind Foundation helps, quietly and efficiently, every year.

FROM DR. TRACY: WELCOME BACK TO DRUGAWARENESS

It has been a very long time - far too long - since we have sent out newsletters from our Drugawareness site. I am starting them back up again & want to update you on all that is happening. Over the past two weeks I have had three experiences that have made me realize that no matter how overwhelmed I have been over the past couple of years, I MUST find the energy and means by which I can step up the pace of educating the world about antidepressants because I know what is happening in my life is happening in everyone else's lives as well because antidepressants are EVERYWHERE!!

Besides the school shooting that just happened in Ohio with every earmark of yet another antidepressant induced school shooting, last night a friend called to let me know that her cousin was the teen boy who walked in front of a train in my old neighborhood last week. The grandmother of this boy has now lost two of her grandchildren in a violent suicide induced by antidepressants!!! The first was a teen girl who shot herself about a decade ago. And her son was sent to prison because of false accusations of abuse made by someone on these meds. THAT IS ONE FAMILY!!!!!

Then last week a good friend I have known for 20 years & who has helped set me up for lectures and radio shows to spread the word about antidepressants called to let me know that his 32 year old niece on antidepressants had just committed suicide leaving her husband and three children behind.

Then two weeks ago a friend I have had for 30 years called to let me know that her daughter had given her son-in-law ONE pill of Zoloft after which he made several serious suicide attempts & was now in a psych ward.

Now if I am being hit with this many tragedies this close to me in my life when I know what I know about these drugs, how bad is has it become in everyone else's lives????!!!!!

So we are gearing up the website to offer more & more info.

We welcome all of you back to our Drugawareness family!!!

You can find us on Facebook under the International Coalition for Drug Awareness. And you can find me on Facebook at Ann Blake Tracy where we have been sharing MUCH new information. Please come and friend us there!

Our Texas Director, Rosie Meysenburg, & I have worked very hard for many years to gather as many antidepressant-induced cases of violence, suicide & other adverse reactions. And Rosie has put all of these plus many more she has gathered from the internet into an incredible database which you can search in so many different ways! You can search by patient name, by state, by what happened (school shooting, teacher seducing students, suicides, child cases, etc.) The website for that is located at www.ssristories.com

We are also gathering your stories on the site. There will be a spot for you to enter yours as well.

We are preparing a membership site as well with several ways of learning more and more about these drugs & how to educate others to prevent these tragedies.

I also have new DVDs available on several subjects:

1: On the subject of Bipolar induced by the use of antidepressants

2: Antidepressants & Mind Control

3. False Memory Syndrome caused by antidepressants

4. The Effects of Antidepressants Upon Spirituality

5. The REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) (We now know that 86% diagnosed with RBD are taking antidepressants!!!)

I also just learned Leslie Demeniuk's antidepressant-induced nightmare is going to be on the Bio Channel Friday evening at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. http://www.biography.com/tv/weekly-schedule It is a program called Women Behind Bars. Leslie shot her twin 4 year old boys while in a psychosis produced from going from Zoloft to Paxil. Her fiance, Anthony Ortiz, was one of our Drugawareness group who came to Houston from Florida for the press conference we had on the courthouse steps during Andrea Yate's second case. Leslie's case is found on our SSRI stories database of cases at http://ssristories.com/show.php?item=497

So that you have some background as you watch this program: Leslie was suffering the hypoglycemic reaction that comes from the use of antidepressants coupled with the stronger impact upon blood sugar brought on by the shock to the body of abrupt changes in dose of an antidepressant. This reaction brings on overwhelming cravings for either alcohol or sweets or both. She was therefore drunk also at the time of the shooting. This alcohol craving was the first reaction to Prozac that caught my attention & caused me to begin researching the SSRI antidepressants. I was shocked to see those who had never touched alcohol in their lives become alcoholic almost overnight on these antidepressants!

Of course the cases never end. Just last week a pharmacist in Tampa, FL drowned her baby while on antidepressants. We have just had another school shooting which I am sure involved the drugs & not far from there a young father shot & killed his wife & three children. In Utah last night I learned a friend's teen cousin walked in front of a train in my old neighborhood to commit suicide after several months on antidepressants. Amazing that as hard as you try & as much evidence as there is when there is so much $$$$$ being made the truth just does not make it out - unless we do it ourselves to save those we love!!!

American Minute with Bill Federer Feb. 29 - Julius Caesar's Leap Day, and Columbus' Eclipse

American Minute with Bill Federer Feb. 29 - Julius Caesar's Leap Day, and Columbus' Eclipse FEBRUARY 29th is Leap Day. It was invented in 45 B.C. when Julius Caesar replaced the many calendars used throughout the Roman Empire based on the moon's cycles with one unified calendar based on the sun, having 365 days and a "leap" day every 4th year. This was called the Julian Calendar. Caesar also moved the beginning of the year from March 1st to January 1st. After three centuries and ten major persecutions, the Roman Empire became Christian, and the most important day in the Christian church calendar is Christ's resurrection, or as it is also called, Easter.   In 325 AD, the First Council of Nicaea wanted to keep Easter as close as possible to the Jewish Feast of Passover, yet still have it on a Sunday, so they set Easter as the FIRST SUNDAY after the FULL MOON following the SPRING EQUINOX ("equinox" or "equal night" is one day in the Spring and one day Fall when the amount of daylight is equal to the amount of night.)   In 567 AD, the Council of Tours moved the beginning of the year in most of Europe back to March 1st, as January 1st was associated with pagan Rome. By the Middle Ages, the Julian Calendar date of Easter had slipped too early in the year, so Pope Gregory XIII, in 1582, adjusted the calendar slightly to omit leap days in years divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400.   This is called the Gregorian Calendar. Pope Gregory also moved the beginning of the year back to January 1st. Protestant Europe did not adopt the Catholic Gregorian Calendar for nearly two centuries. This gave rise to some interesting record keeping.   For example: a ship would leave Protestant England on one date according to the Julian Calendar and arrive in Catholic Europe at an earlier date, according to the Gregorian Calendar; or April 23, 1616 was the day William Shakespeare died in England and Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote-Man of La Mancha, died in Spain, but when the differences between England's Julian and Spain's Gregorian Calendars are removed, Cervantes actually died ten days before Shakespeare. England and its colonies waited till 1752 to adopt the Gregorian Calendar, but by that time there was an 11 day discrepancy. When America finally adjusted its calendar and the day after September 2, 1752, became September 14, 1752, there were reports of riots. Another interesting event occurred on this day during Christopher Columbus' last voyage. Driven by storms around the Caribbean Sea, two of Columbus' ships were abandoned and the remaining two were worm-eaten and sinking. Columbus was shipwrecked on Jamaica. Indians brought food for a while, but then threatened to become hostile. Columbus, using his skill as a navigator, predicted a lunar eclipse on FEBRUARY 29, 1504. He called the Indian Chiefs to his marooned ship and told them if they did not stay on good terms, he would pray that God would blot out the moon. When the eclipse began, the Indians shrieked and quickly made peace with Columbus.   Columbus later wrote: "My hope in the One who created us all sustains me: He is an ever-present help in trouble."

Making Sense of School Shootings

By John W. Whitehead

On Feb. 27, 2012, a teenager—reportedly a victim of bullying and something of a social outcast—walked into a Cleveland high school and opened fire in the cafeteria, killing two students and wounding three others. The teenager, identified as T.J. Lane, has been taken into police custody. Now media pundits are speculating on who or what is to blame for this latest spate of violence.

Yet we’ve been caught in the grip of a cycle of school violence that started almost 20 years ago.

FULL STORY

PsychCentral- SPECIAL EDITION: The Ohio School Shooting

SPECIAL EDITION: The Ohio School Shooting The Psychology of a School Shooting Psych Central founder John M. Grohol says school violence — just like regular violence — is often random and without a clear, logical rationale. We want to know why someone like 17-year-old T.J. Lane snaps, picks up a gun and starts shooting. "As with most acts of senseless violence, whatever explanations are offered will be unsatisfactory and not really explain much of anything," Grohol writes. So, What Triggered the Violent Outburst? A troubled teen walks into a school and opens fire on his classmates. At press time, three students are dead, two are wounded and the baby-faced shooter is in custody. What triggers such deadly behavior? Licensed mental health counselor Erika Krull provides some insight. How Parents Can Deal with Scared Kids What parents can tell children who are afraid to go to school after a shooting.

Right of Conscience Vote in U.S. Senate Tomorrow—Urgent Calls Needed Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, We have previously urged you to call the U.S. Senate to support Amendment No. 1520, the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act, by Senator Roy Blunt (MO). This amendment to the Senate’s Transportation Bill would protect religious freedom and conscience rights, and would ensure that employers are not forced by the federal government to violate their religious beliefs or conscience as a result of the recent Obama Administration mandate requiring all employers to give employees free birth control and abortion-inducing drugs. The Senate will vote on Amendment No. 1520 tomorrow, Thursday, March 1. The vote is expected to be extremely close. Please immediately call (because of the short time, phone calls, not emails, are best) your two U.S. senators and urge them to support this crucial amendment. You can reach the Capitol Switchboard (and ask to be transferred to your senators’ offices) at 202-224-3121 or use HSLDA’s Congressional Directory to enter your ZIP code and find your senators’ phone numbers. Your message can be as simple as the following: “Please support Senator Blunt’s Amendment No. 1520, the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act, which will overturn President Obama’s contraceptives mandate requiring employers to violate their conscience and religious beliefs. To protect the sanctity of the First Amendment and the right of conscience upon which our nation was founded, the U.S. Senate must act to preserve the freedom of employers to follow the dictates of their conscience.” Thank you for standing with us for freedom.
