FINALLY, after years of deadly drugs being available to children with no warning of the danger of increased fatalities due to suicide, the FDA issues a black box warnings for all antidepressants on the market!

This long overdue and many children have died or suffered serious damage as a result of this lack of warning. Perhaps NOW doctors will finally think before handing these drugs out like candy to children and teens.

The scientific evidence behind this has been out there for decades. All anyone ever had to do was read it. I explained that clearly in my latest testimony before the FDA on September 13, 2004. I will include that here.

I am Ann Blake Tracy, PhD, head of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness. I am the author of "Prozac: Panacea or Pandora." [Financial disclosure] My house has been mortgaged to the hilt to pay for the last 15 years that I have devoted to nothing but research on SSRI antidepressants and to fund my trip here.

I have testified as an expert witness for twelve and a half years in court cases involving these drugs.
Research on serotonin has been clear from the very beginning, that the most damaging thing that could be done to the serotonergic system would be to impair one's ability to metabolize serotonin, yet that is exactly how SSRI antidepressants exert their effects. For decades research has shown that impairing serotonin metabolism will produce nightmares, hot flushes, migraines, pains around the heart, difficulty breathing, worsening of bronchial complaints, tension and anxiety which appear from out of nowhere, depression, suicide - especially very violent suicide and repeated attempts, hostility, violent crime, arson, substance abuse including cravings for alcohol and other drugs, psychosis, mania, organic brain disease [brain damage], autism, anorexia, reckless driving, Alzheimer's, impulsive behavior with no concern for punishment, and argumentative behavior.

How anyone ever thought it would be therapeutic to chemically induce these reactions is beyond me, yet these reactions are exactly what we witnessed in our society over the past decade and a half as a result of the widespread use of these drugs.

Can you remember two decades ago when depressed people used to slip away quietly to kill themselves rather than killing everyone around them and then themselves, as they do while taking an SSRI antidepressant?

A study out of the University of Southern California, in 1996, looked at a group of mutant mice that had been genetically engineered. In an experiment that had gone terribly wrong, they were the most violent creatures they had ever witnessed. They were born lacking the MAOA enzyme which metabolizes serotonin. The end result is the same as if they were taking an SSRI antidepressant which does inhibit the metabolism of serotonin.

This has been a national holocaust. It must end. These are extremely dangerous drugs that should have been banned as similar drugs were in the past.
As a society, we once thought LSD and PCP to be miracle medications. We have never seen drugs so similar to LSD and PCP as these SSRIantidepressants are. All of these drugs produce dreaming during periods of wakefulness. The higher serotonin levels overstimulate the brain stem leading to a lack of muscle paralysis. That was seen clearly in the case of comedian Phil Hartman and his wife in the terrible murder-suicide [whose wrongful death suit has been settled by the makers of Zoloft].
Thank you.

US Orders New Warnings On Antidepressants For Kids

10-15-4

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - All antidepressants must come with tough warnings explaining that the drugs increase the chances of suicidal behavior in some children and teens, U.S. health officials said on Friday.

In an order to drug makers, the Food and Drug Administration said the
information to be highlighted in a black box must also state whether the
drug has, or has not been, cleared for use by children. Only Eli Lilly and
Co.'s Prozac is FDA-approved for treating pediatric depression.

It jus caught my eye on a news site. 'tis all Smile

" For decades research has shown that impairing serotonin metabolism will produce nightmares, hot flushes, migraines, pains around the heart, difficulty breathing, worsening of bronchial complaints, tension and anxiety which appear from out of nowhere, depression, suicide - especially very violent suicide and repeated attempts, hostility, violent crime, arson, substance abuse including cravings for alcohol and other drugs, psychosis, mania, organic brain disease [brain damage], autism, anorexia, reckless driving, Alzheimer's, impulsive behavior with no concern for punishment, and argumentative behavior."

It can produce autism?????

I dont think so.

I wish it were true, I could use a top-up :lol:

Hmmmm...

You know, I'm on an anti-depressent(Welbutrin-XL), and it's actually helped me and my suicidal thoughts.

And how would an anti-depressent re-wire your brain? Autism is something that people are born with... not something that you get from drugs. If it were, then I would be taking them all day long Big Grin

Some traits of autism may be developed from vaccinations, but it's not true autism. And no, we're not paranoid. We're just people who actually stand up for ourselves against the bullshit in the media.

Btw, was the medication given to your children the one that had a weakened specimen of whatever you're vaccinating her for, or the one with all of the cells dead? The former can be rather dangerous, and I would recommend avoiding it.

Uschi, it is extremely rare for kids to die from vaccinations, much more statistically common is for kids to die of having the actual disease, particularly whooping cough, pertussis.
In Ireland there was a scare over vaccines a few years ago, many people stopped there kids having it for a period, and two kids died of measles in a very bad outbreak.
I think its like comparing possible side effects of anti biotics with the actual many lives they save each year.
Autism is not fatal but those diseased that we vaccinate against can be.
Having said that I do not believe that autism is caused by vaccines, it is known that brain damage can occur is a very tiny percentage of children, but autism is not brain damage.
I know a woman who refused to have her kids vaccinated, both her sons were later dx with autism, and they also caught measles and were very ill with it.
I worry about the scaremongering of vaccinations, mercury, and so many other things that are supposed to cause autism, I think it detracts from real time and energy that could used more productively.

I think you guys are pretty paranoid at times! Every time you see a news item that has the word autism in it and doesn't agree with your theories, you think 'everyone is out to get you'!

Please point out where I said that that 'everyone is out to get us'.

I found an article (which in itself is interesting because I'd imagine that there are a few here who use anti-depressants) which happened to have the word 'autism' in it and it was portraying the useage of it in a bad light i.e along with nightmares, depression, suicide, hostility, violent crime, arson, drugs, alcoholism, psychosis and reckless driving (ffs!) and it concerns me that this sort of unproven disinformation is being given out by a published doctor as though it is 'scientific evidence'.

And I dare say that if you had been reading an interesting article about the causes of serial killers and the list had been, child rape, drugs, prositution, Bible study, violent films, alcohol and LSD - that you perhaps would find something in there that had set an alarm bell ringing and you may have been tempted to post that article in a Christian themed forum (should you belong to one) in a slightly annoyed manner that anyone could possible think such wicked things without it being proven. I didn't post it out of paranoia or because it 'doesn't agree with my theories' because I have only ever told three people what my 'real' theory is and none of those people were you.

I believe MOST OF THE TIME autism is genetic. But there have been many documented cases of people becoming autistic (probably not the same kind of autism) after vaccination and after overuse of antibiotics.

It's either genetic or it isn't. If someone is showing signs of Autism like behaviour but isn't genetically Autistic then it cannot be Autism, unless you would like to argue that their body is growing new strands of, previously unknown to your current genetic make-up, DNA I don't understand how it is possuble to develop Autism? It is possible to display signs of Autism but I think you'd be hard pushed to find even one person that didn't meet at least one criteria of being what is currently considered Autistic. What people are more likely to be suffering from is brain damage (even very mild brain damage can be disasterous) brought on by either neglect or drug abuse (or use of anti-depressants!) but I'm guessing that these people weren't grateful for their new found way of thinking in that it was less than what it was before and it is being confused with Autism.

It happens more often than you guys would ever admit (since you refuse to even consider it)

So even as many times as 'once' would make it a fact seeings as how we 'refuse to even consider it'? I wasn't aware my mind was so closed as to make such wild claims about something I clearly have very little knowledge of in regards to accepting new ideas or opinions, how foolish of me.

Perhaps you might consider that the strange mix of toxins in a vaccination merely awakens or triggers what is already there or the poisonous jolt of chemicals is too much for the body's defences to handle and turns the kid into a vegetable and rather than the rich doctor losing all his money (or the governments theirs) they have convieniently blamed it on Autism and are now having to put out a contiousous stream of disinformation about Autism lest the truth be revealed - someone fucked up! Just a thought.

'Quick! Find a bloody cure before the law suits roll in!'

autism CAN also be the result of braindamage. Not always, of course. But it happens.

What you are describing is a poorly functioning brain as a result of brain damage that whilst it may have the outward appearance of someone with severe Autism it isn't Autism. There is possibly more going on in the mind of someone who has severe Autism than most people would care to think about because it's hard to say otherwise, but a damaged brain is just that, damaged. There is not enough known about severe Autism to say that there is nothing going on 'upstairs' and to take assumptions as though they were fact is proof that something is true.

But the odd thing WILL be good and true and helpful. It might be a good idea for you guys to acknowledge that.

:roll:

"Now to the vaccines being good. The media will never admit that, when there are measles outbreaks in schools, they ALWAYS start with a kid who has been fully vaccinated, and most of the other vaccinated kids will get it. And these kids who have been vaccinated will usually be much sicker than an unvaccinated kid getting it. It's much more likely that a vaccinated kid will die from the measles than one that isn't vaccinated."

Uschi, I have no idea where you are getting your facts from but they are nonsense. I'm not blaming you, but you have been grossly misinformed, you are completely incorrect with what you have written.

"The efficacy of vaccines has never been proven. The evidence actually shows that vaccines make you more susceptible to getting the disease, rather than actually immunizing you against getting it."

This is again completely false.

"All the diseases they now claim were wiped out by vaccines were steadily declining long before vaccines were used. That was due to better sanitation and better diet. If your immune system works well because you get the right nutrients, you don't catch things easily."

There was a decline in some, but they were still affecting people, and measles and rubella were certainly not in decline in the UK.

"The statistics that show how polio declined after the vaccine was introduced start when they started vaccinating. If they would also show the 30 years before that, everyone could see that it was declining even faster before people were vaccinated. The only people who have died of polio in North America in the past 30 years got it from the vaccine (either directly or being infected by a family member who got the vaccine)."

Many, many more people died from actually contracting polio before the vaccine was introduced. It has saved many lives, it has also saved many from the disablities it caused.

"Do you know that NOBODY ever did any longterm studies on vaccines? That they give them to kids (adults, too) without EVER having done any studies of the longterm consequences these vaccines cause?"

That is untrue Uschi.

"I firmly believe that the rate of kids being diagnosed with autism has been skyrocketing lately not because most of these kids were born autistic, but because of vaccinations particularly."

You said in an earlier post that you thought that most cases of autism were genetic, yet now you seem to say that most cases are now caused by vaccinations.

"Do you know that they had not even recognized autism as a diagnosis in Japan until after the US mass vaccinated all their kids? And did you know that the rate of kids dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome was getting so high a few years ago in Japan, that they stopped immunizing kids before the age of two, and then the death rate went down by nearly 90%?"

Just because Japan didnt recognise autism does not mean that it didnt exist.

JUST F***IN GERAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Now what the f*** are we supposed to do??

I'ts the brain damage part that really gets me - happens to be my single greatest fear. What happens when youre cracking up and actually need antidepressants?

WHAT HAVE ALL THE ONES I'VE BEEN ON BEFORE ALREADY DONE TO ME ??????

Probably silmilar sorts of things to you as all the additives, preservatives and sweetners from your food have done to you as well.

Yes autism, and "autism like symptoms" are two different things (and autism doesn't necessaily have symptoms anyway) but the main issue with all these "zacs" is that previously millions had been treated with great success by using suplements of Tryptophan.

That Tryptophan was banned after trumped up charges which sought to prove it was dangerous, just before Prozac came out, stinks to high heaven.

It's not an argument of risk versus advantage here but rather of replacing a no-risk treatment with another which is less effective, and demonstrably dangerous! The motive for the current rash of antidepressants is profit.

If I needed such a remedy, my first step would be to obtain veterinary Tryptophan, and see if it worked. Even if it didn't, I'd have to think very hard before opting for any SRI's. The way they are been handed out like smarties is disgraceful!

Can I respectfully point out a medical disclaimer that no-one should obtain veterinary pharmaceuticals in order to treat themselves.

"my first step would be to obtain veterinary Tryptophan, and see if it worked"

(Had to say that, you never know).

Did I suggest otherwise? :shock: :roll:

No, but I thought a disclaimer would be good anyway. Smile

Not had time to read it all the way through, it just looked important though so I thought I'd stick it up quickly.
