North America Selling Sickness explores the unhealthy relationships between society, medical science and the pharmaceutical industry as they promote their new miracle cures -- selling not just drugs but also the latest diseases that go with them. Drug manufacturers today fund aggressive marketing campaigns designed to create public awareness of previously unknown diseases, or known by less dramatic names. Shyness thus becomes branded as "Social Anxiety Disorder," constant worry becomes "Generalized Anxiety Disorder," and premenstrual tension is now "Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder."

The sale of SSRI anti-depressant medications used to treat these and other diseases, such as Paxil, Zoloft and Prozac, has become an annual $20 billion market. Selling Sickness features commentary from paid medical consultants to the drug companies, patients, researchers, patient advocates, advertisers, attorneys, and psychiatrist Dr. David Healy, a critic of the pharmaceutical industry. The film also examines the deceptive use of clinical trials sponsored by the pharmaceutical companies, the highly addictive nature and many adverse side effects (like suicidal impulses among adolescent patients) of popular SSRI anti-depressants. At an FDA hearing in Washington, D.C., the testimony of parents who have lost their children to suicide starkly emphasizes the need for greater regulation of these heavily promoted and prescribed anti-depressants.



In 1976, Henry Gadson, the CEO of Merck, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the US, was interviewed by Fortune magazine. During the interview, Gadson complained of having to limit his market to sick people. His dream, he said was to be able to "sell to everyone" and make Merck more like "Wrigley" the chewing gum company. Now thirty years later, as prescription and designer drugs become ever more prevalent, Mr.Gadson's dream may have come true. In the four-hour special Warning: Before You Take This Pill, Link TV will explore the question of whether we've become smarter patients or are just plain worried sick.

Part 1 of the special features Selling Sickness, a compelling documentary that explores how drug companies today are not just selling medicine but also the diseases that go with them. Also featured are excerpts from Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety, a new film from Hummingbird Productions that offers an insider's perspective from former pharmaceutical reps and doctors. During the special, Dr. Michael Steinman, Assistant Professor in Residence, Staff Physician, SFVAMC will be in discussion. Dr. Steinman has an active interest in pharmaceutical marketing practices and subtle ways that the industry may influence the prescribing behaviors of physicians.

A team of leading scientists have spent two years analysing the effects of 20 of Britain's most widely used drugs, and have devised a scientifically rigorous - and controversial - new ranking for them.

The BBC's Horizon programme has followed their research and looks at the science behind the headlines. How do the brain and body react to each stimulant as it passes into the bloodstream, and what are the long-term effects of drugs relative to their classification? If the current classification should be changed in view of the latest findings, what exactly is Britain's most dangerous drug?

FRONTLINE® investigates the integrity of America's drug safety system!

Frequently asked questions about the FDA and drug safety, with links to resources for consumers and further reading.

+ When the FDA approves a drug, does that mean I can count on it being "safe and effective"?

When the FDA approves a drug, it means that it has determined that the benefits of the drug will outweigh the risks when it is released into the general population. During a drug's testing, up to 3,000 people will take the drug in the final stage of clinical trials. But if a serious side effect occurs in one out of 10,000 people, for example, the manufacturer and the FDA most likely will not find out until it is out on the market and hundreds of thousands, or millions, of people have taken it.



"I think Americans need to recognize that every time they put a pill in their mouth, especially a new pill that they've never taken before, it's an experiment," says Dr. Raymond Woosley of the University of Arizona, who was a top candidate to become FDA commissioner last year. "When a drug goes on the market, only about 3,000 patients have ever been given that drug. We will never know all the toxicity that can occur, especially the one in 10,000 or the one in 20,000 that can be seriously harmed. Our detection of that will only happen after the drug is on the market and exposed to huge numbers of patients."

INTRODUCTION: In "Dangerous Prescription," FRONTLINE® investigates the integrity of America's drug safety system. Through interviews with current and former FDA officials, critics, a pharmaceutical industry representative, and consumers, the one-hour documentary examines the FDA's handling of several drugs that were approved but later were pulled from the market after causing injuries and even deaths. The program also examines the role that drug companies play in the approval and monitoring of prescription drugs, and questions whether the FDA's current system is adequate for protecting the pubic.

Here, at Drug.com, this site lists most drugs know to man. This is a fairly neutral view, in other words, just stating information based of what know about these persription medications. This site gives comprehensive information on each drug listed. I need not say, that you should avoid mosts perscription drugs unless it necessary to treat life threatening diseases not stupid things that are made up or man created that can be treated naturally...such as Ulcers, Nrevous Diorders, ADD, ADHD, Flu, High Cholesteral, Bi-polar, Stress, Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, HIV, & on & on!
Let me give you a sample of these nice DRUGS that are leagla distrubuted by the Government/Medical Association allowed legal sales of the most dangerous & poerful drugs know to mankind.



This only Xanax...se what they say:

This is what Xanax is being use to treat...

Xanax is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.

Now look at the side effects...

Important information about Xanax
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to Xanax or to other benzodiazepines, such as chlordiazepoxide (Librium), clorazepate (Tranxene), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), or oxazepam (Serax). This medication can cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Do not use Xanax if you are pregnant.

Before taking Xanax, tell your doctor if you have any breathing problems, glaucoma, kidney or liver disease, or a history of depression, suicidal thoughts, or addiction to drugs or alcohol.

Do not drink alcohol while taking Xanax. This medication can increase the effects of alcohol.



Xanax may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Xanax should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.

It is dangerous to try and purchase Xanax on the Internet or from vendors outside of the United States. Medications distributed from Internet sales may contain dangerous ingredients, or may not be distributed by a licensed pharmacy. Samples of Xanax purchased on the Internet have been found to contain haloperidol (Haldol), a potent antipsychotic drug with dangerous side effects.

What are the possible side effects of Xanax?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Xanax: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these:

Serious Side Effects:

- unusual risk-taking behavior, decreased inhibitions, no fear of danger;
- depressed mood, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
hyperactivity, agitation, hostility, hallucinations;
- feeling light-headed, fainting;
- seizure (convulsions);
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- muscle twitching, tremor; or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Less serious Xanax side effects may include:

- drowsiness, dizziness, feeling irritable;
- amnesia or forgetfulness, trouble concentrating;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- muscle weakness, lack of balance or coordination, slurred speech;
- blurred vision;
- nausea, vomiting, constipation, appetite or weight changes;
- dry or watery mouth, increased sweating; or loss of interest in sex.

OK. That's some of the nice stuff while on it. Now look at the potential Xanax Withdrawal Effects: Click on link here: "Xanax Withdrawal Effects" because I felt was too long to post.

You can read more information here about Xanax. This just to state a point of the dangers of DRUGS. See what you think. I'm sure as hell I never, willfully, will take ANY of this SHIT....period!

Researchers: Merck knew – & did nothing - VIOXX! & more...Dangerous Drugs I

Vioxx Recall! or LifeKill Recall?

September 30, 2004—Merck & Co. announced an immediate recall of Vioxx after a clinical study indicated a significantly elevated risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious side effects.



Vioxx was approved in Canada in 1999 and was the most prescribed drug in Canada for the treatment of arthritis. More than 3.36 million prescriptions were filled in Canada in 2003.

For years, we've believed that the fat cats at Merck knew much more about the dangers of Vioxx far earlier than the rest of us – yet did nothing but cash the checks as patients cashed out and dropped dead.



That's not some far-fetched conspiracy theory. In fact, a new analysis published in the Archives of Internal Medicine concludes that the company had enough warning signs to pull this bad med from the market nearly FOUR YEARS before they actually did.

Seems squeezing those extra dollars out of this deadly drug was far more important than keeping customers alive. After all, they'd need that cash to help pay settlements when they were sued over this killer painkiller later on.



But the Big Pharma phonies weren't fooling everyone. We knew when this scandal broke more than five years ago that Merck had the information long before they took action. Of course they knew Vioxx was causing strokes, heart attacks and deaths, even if they still pretend they didn't.

So it's old news to anyone who's been paying attention – but anything that puts Merck back in the spotlight for these heinous crimes is fine by me.

The new analysis looked at 30 clinical trials between 1996 and 2004, when the drug was "voluntarily" pulled from the market. Twelve of these studies were secret – we only know about them because of documents revealed during Vioxx lawsuits.

Discussion of Vioxx and FDA Drugs as defective products with attorney Brenda Fulmer, pharmaceutical injury litigation expert and partner in the law firm Alley, Clarke, Griewe, and Fulmer in Tampa, FL. Produced by InjuryBoard.com

Vioxx and FDA Drug Injuries!


Most of these studies were concluded by 2001, and indicated a 35 percent increase in the risk of a cardiovascular event or death among users. And that risk only grew as more studies entered the mix over time.

Some of these studies were done even earlier – leading researchers to conclude that Merck knew as early as 2000 that Vioxx was costing folks their lives ... yet continued to sell this evil poison until September 2004.

That's four more years of bad reactions. Four more years of illness and death. Four more years of shattered lives.

from afp: The risk of death linked to Merck's anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx was minimized in trial studies the company made public, according to a study... in the April 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.



Merck minimized the true risks of vioxx!



Oh, and don't forget four more years of multibillion-dollar sales – because believe me, when the final settlement check is cut, I'm convinced they'll have still turned a massive profit on this prescription for death. That's literal blood money, and if you hold shares in Merck, feel free to let the company know how you feel about that.

Just don't expect these criminals to give a rat's tail about you and your silly ethics.

"Why journalists keep getting it Wrong!"
rant by William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.

"Lazy and looking for work? Try a career in news.

The real reason you can't trust anything you hear about the government or corporate America is that the so-called newshounds of the Fourth Estate have fallen asleep on the job.

A recent editorial in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows just how badly the press can botch even the simplest coverage.

Not long ago, a study came out on women, drinking and breast cancer. Maybe you remember some of the headlines: "A drink a day raises women's risk of cancer, study indicates" (Washington Post), "More evidence links alcohol, cancer in women" (MSNBC.com) and "Women's cancer risk may increase with just a few drinks" (CNN.com).

There's just one problem with all that easy fear-mongering: It didn't even come close to telling the whole story.

The study they were all reporting on found a 0.6 percent absolute increase in the risk of breast cancer. Women who consumed the most alcohol – 15 or more drinks per week – had a 2.6 percent increase in breast cancer, versus just 2 percent in women who drank the least over seven years.

Yawn.

But there's not much of a headline in that, and on a slow news day they need something to report – and breast cancer fear is one of their favorite places to turn.

Similarly, you may recall a flurry of breathless reports on a highly experimental cancer drug called olaparib. A very early and completely uncontrolled study showed some promise – but far more research is needed before anyone should even think of calling it a "miracle drug."

That didn't stop the lazy pups in the press, though.

They've already declared it "the most important cancer breakthrough of the decade."

But let's talk about the big picture here, because it's a lot worse than shiftless slobs in newsrooms feeding you bad info.

Far worse. Big Pharma knows how lazy journalists are. They know that all you need to do to win favorable coverage is write up a press release – and leave out all the bad stuff, no matter how ugly the research may be.

Reporters won't read the study – just the press release. That's what passes for "journalism" these days.

Big Pharma's spin doctors even know that the most dogged reporters might want to make a phone call to get a quote or two – but you can fix that by putting a couple of quotes into your press release that they can use. Make sure it's glowing, because it's going to appear in hundreds of newspapers from coast to coast... free of charge!

You can't buy better advertising.

The Journal of the National Cancer Institute has posted a tip sheet online to help reporters understand research, statistics and more – but don't expect most of these hacks to use it.

That's a little too much like work.

Barking at the so-called newshounds,

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D."

Who's footing the bill for drug ads?

Who's paying for all those expensive and annoying TV drug ads?

Big Pharma's name may be on the bill... but you're paying the price. For years, the drug industry has made the ridiculous claim that the billions spent on drugs ads have nothing to do with the high price of meds.

But if increased sales are really paying for those prescriptions, why do drug prices keep shooting up – even when those sales fail to materialize?

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to follow this money trail right to your own pocket... but a new study helps point out the obvious to anyone deluded by Big Pharma's stupid accounting tricks.

Researchers looked at the ad spending and drug sales of Plavix, which in many ways offered up a perfect crime scene, with enough forensic evidence to keep a CSI team busy for years.

That's because after not advertising this med at all in 1999 and 2000, Bristol-Myers Squibb launched a major ad campaign in 2001 – one that would cost $350 million over the next five years.

Under Big Pharma's logic, we'd see prices hold steady – maybe even decrease – as demand soared, right?

Problem is, the ads didn't increase sales. Turns out Plavix use grew at pretty much the same rate as it did before the ad campaign began... while the cost of Plavix prescriptions went up, up, up.

Researchers looked at 27 state Medicaid programs and found that during the ad campaign, the cost of Plavix increased by 25 percent more than inflation. That cost them an extra $207 million – and if I were on that CSI team, I'd name those ads as my only suspect for the price hike, case closed.

Remember, Medicaid money doesn't get plucked off Plavix trees... it comes directly from your wallet, Mr. and Mrs. American Taxpayer.

YOU paid for those ads.

Of course, not every med follows the Plavix model. Big Pharma spends billions on drug ads for one reason: They often work. But let's not get delusional about this – if an ad leads to higher sales, that extra money isn't used to offset the cost of commercials. It's used to pay for even more ads – and anything left over is used to line pockets (just not yours).

And if the ad doesn't result in more sales, they're not worried – because you're paying for it, not them. They even get to deduct the costs of those ads. Earlier this year, lawmakers said those deductions cost us $37 billion per year.

It's win-win for Big Pharma.

And as usual, the rest of us lose.

Bogus Study Claims Gardasil is Safe! - Not!

Dear Friend,

More needless needles aimed at your daughters

When it comes to vaccines, newer isn't better. It's just newer.

I've already warned you about Merck's deadly vaccine Gardasil, which supposedly protects little girls from some strains of the virus that causes cervical cancer. Now, GlaxoSmithKline's own version of it, Cervarix, is one step closer to U.S. approval.

This is one market that doesn't need competition -- it needs to be shut down for good.

You know I don't like vaccines to begin with, but these two are particularly awful. Not only do they come with all the usual risks of vaccines and more, they're not even all that effective against cervical cancer.

But who cares about effectiveness -- Big Pharma certainly doesn't. They just want to make as much as money as they can off those needles (around $400 per patient) before the other guy beats them to it.

Gardasil, of course, has been linked to a number of serious illnesses, including a form of Lou Gehrig's disease, and numerous deaths. The CDC has so far collected more than 14,000 reports of adverse events following Gardasil vaccinations, ranging from fevers, headaches, and fainting, to paralysis and serious nerve and muscle disorders.

Cervarix has a laundry list of its own side effects that aren't too pleasant either: pain, fatigue, fever, infections, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. And this is what we know about it before it's even had a chance to hit the market here.

In a truly bizarre twist, the same FDA panel that's pushing Cervarix forward has approved Gardasil for the prevention of genital warts in boys as young as 9 years old. That's right – they want to subject these boys to those same awful side effects for a non- serious, non-life-threatening condition that can go away on its own.

The real gall of it is that these companies aren't just pushing for their drugs to be approved -- they want them to be FORCED on little girls (and soon, no doubt, little boys) from coast to coast, regardless of what you or even your doctor wants, through mandatory vaccinations.

But when they come calling for your kid with that dirty needle, you be sure to tell them to stick it.

There's so many conflicting reports floating around about Gardasil that it can be tough for parents to know what to believe. And a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association only clouds the issue even further.

The study claims that Gardasil's side effects are rare and continue to occur at the same rate they did in the clinical trials.

But what they don't tell you is that those trials were a sham.

Instead of giving the control group a true placebo, they gave them one that was aluminum-based. To the untrained eye, this can make the results look convincing--and that's what the drug company is banking on.

But the truth is, the aluminum-based placebo pills alone can cause side effects like nerve damage, the deck was stacked. So it's no wonder the drug wasn't that bad compared to the placebo--they were both equally dangerous!

But the cat's already out of the bag, and a growing number of doctors, researchers and parents aren't being fooled by these clinical shenanigans. You won't be fooled, either when you see the damage it's doing.

Dozens of little girls have died after getting this vaccine. Others have experienced disabling nerve damage, and some have even gotten ALS -- Lou Gehrig's disease.

That may be why the editors of JAMA decided to run an editorial alongside this new study questioning whether this vaccine offers any benefit over a pap smear.

Allow me to answer: It doesn't.

Even one of the top researchers behind the vaccine's clinical trials, who has been paid by Merck to speak about its supposed wonders, is now publicly questioning it.

No, I didn't just make that up. Dr. Diane Harper told CBS News in August that some of the side effects could make the vaccine riskier than the cervical cancer it's supposed to stop.

Remember, this is the same company that rushed Vioxx through the system, and we know how that turned out. Some folks even say Merck's HPV vaccine really stands for "Help Pay for Vioxx."

Here's the answer we should all give them: Not at the expense of our daughters' health.

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.







A 14-year-old girl has died after being given a cervical cancer jab as part of a national immunisation programme, but the exact cause of death is unknown.

The pupil took ill at Blue Coat Cofe School in Coventry shortly after she received the Cervarix vaccine. She died in the town's University Hospital.

The batch of the vaccine used has been quarantined by the local NHS.

The injection offers protection against a sexually transmitted disease, which is linked to most cervical cancers.

A routine programme of vaccinating 12- and 13-year-old girls started in September 2008 across the UK using the Cervarix vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline. A catch-up campaign is now under way for older girls.

This is huge, I want this everywhere people, please message all your friends ASAP.

I must point of course they say investigating it, but seems highly unlikely to me she has has a heart attack or something like that no is it, as extremely rare, fact is, if she was alright before this and had no previous history of any illness and then takes a vaccine and dies shortly after, chances are the darn vaccine surely is the cause, unless there was some weird infection, complication and in that case why her only.

Please, please help get this one out people.

THE DRUG COMPANIES ARE MURDERING OUR CHILDREN, OUR PARENTS AND US. DON'T YOU GET IT. IT NOT HEALTH, IT'S ABOUT MONEY...PROFITS FROM A DIFFERENT KIND OF WAR.

THEY, THE BIG PHARMA, WANTS US VERY SICK BUT ALIVE AND A FEW MURDERS ALONG THE WAY ARE ACCEPTED RISKS...BULLSHIT! STOP THE KILLING...PLEASE DON'T TAKE THEIR POSIONS!

NUFF SAID!
