SSRIs more harm than good?
Psych Drug Shocker: Antidepressant Drugs Work No Better than Placebo;
Big Pharma Hoax Finally Exposed Tuesday, February 26, 2008 by: Mike Adams | Key concepts: placebo, depression and antidepressants NaturalNews) The following is a groundbreaking report from the independent, honest medical journal PLoS Medicine (which accepts no advertising money from Big Pharma). The full study, with sources and attributions, can be found at http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlse... This study is sending shockwaves through the medical community. It finally reveals the Big Pharma hoax behind antidepressant drugs. Through fraudulent science and clever marketing, drug companies have managed to take a drug that works no better than placebo and turn it into a multi-billion dollar scam. But the truth is finally out: Taking Prozac is no more effective than taking a sugar pill! Hundreds of millions of consumers have been fooled by the quack science supporting modern pharmaceutical medicine. Read the study details below............"........ http://www.naturalnews.com/022723.html So is this the biggest quackery of all Thanks Vince |

Ban the damn anti-depressants. Back to talk therapy. They are harmful in
that they cause Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis. No different than marijuana and all stimulants side effects. We are a society in danger of half the population being sick from stimulant's capacity to transfer harm to a second or third person by a mind/body connection whether the two or more persons are in the same room or miles apart. Look in the nursing homes. Many patients die needlessly of crohns unrecognized by the home physician. Everything is attributed to a natural progression of illness. They are allright for the person using them, but the fallback is the danger of killing others. They are not meant to be. All the nursing homes have blood on their hands. Ditto the physicians and pharms. Gail Michael "Marshall Price" wrote in message ... Jeff wrote: Thanks for bringing this to us. Unfortunately, big pharma is about making profits.

They are all right for the person using them, but the fallback is the danger of killing others. They are not meant to be. All the nursing homes have blood on their hands. Ditto the physicians and pharms. Surely, that's going overboard. Doctors are especially attentive to the side effects of antidepressants. Finding the right one often requires a lot of time, patience, testing, and attention to detail. Not everybody is prone to Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis! The article explicitly states that alternative treatments (including "talk therapy") should be tried first, and that these medications are appropriate only for severe cases of depression. Also, antidepressants are not stimulants, nor is marijuana. The alarm you raise is evidently against malpractice, and I agree with your concern about that. But you evidently aren't a physician, and you don't have to consider how best to treat patients who present with serious, refractory depression. There is no reason at all to suspect that depression is contagious (!), but there are quite cogent reasons to attempt to treat it as efficaciously as possible according to practices generally taught in continuing education courses. To do otherwise would simply be a different kind of malpractice. -- Marshall Price of Miami Known to Yahoo as d021317c |
