Tonmya: a new drug for fibromyalgia?

Medscape has reported that the USA’s drug regulator, the FDA, has approved a new, first-in-class drug for Fibromyalgia.

    “The FDA has approved cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride sublingual tablets (Tonmya, Tonix Pharmaceuticals), a first-in-class, nonopioid treatment for adults with fibromyalgia, a chronic pain syndrome that affects more than 10 million Americans, roughly 80% of whom are women”.

The article goes on to describe the testing of the drug, published in Pain Medicine on 8th July 2025, which indicates a 30% improvement in pain (which, of course, means that 70% of the pain remains). And the drug was “generally well-tolerated with no serious side effects”. Good new indeed, if it were only true!

So what does the Drugs.com website say about Tonmya? It can be found here, and I summarise it below - without comment, other than to provide a link to the safe and effective treatment of fibromyalgia with homeopathy.

“Common Tonmya side effects

The most common Tonmya side effects are oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, numbness in the mouth (oral hypoesthesia), oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, drowsiness, canker sores, mouth tingling, pricking, or burning.

“Serious side effects

Tonmya may have serious side effects, including:

“Serious allergic reaction: Tell your health care provider right away if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, hives, swelling of the face or tongue, or itching.

“Embryofetal Toxicity. If Tonmya is used two weeks before conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy, it may cause neural tube defects, based on animal data….

“Serotonin Syndrome: Potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome has been reported with cyclobenzaprine when used in combination with other drugs….

“Tricyclic Antidepressant-like Adverse Reactions: Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCAs) have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke…..
TCAs lower the seizure threshold and are associated with serious CNS reactions. If clinically significant CNS symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of Tonmya.

“Atropine-like Adverse Reactions: This medicine should be used with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic medications.

“CNS Depression and Risk of Operating a Motor Vehicle or Hazardous Machinery: Patients using this medicine should not operate a motor vehicle or other dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that Tonmya will not affect their ability to engage in such activities.

“Oral Mucosal Adverse Reactions: This medicine may cause severe oral side effects…..

“This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

So please decide for yourself. Is this new drug really ““generally well-tolerated with no serious side effects”?

The post states, quite simply, that the history of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the Associated Vaccines, is being written right now. I would have thought this was fairly uncontroversial, and it is difficult to see why it does not meet Bloggers community guidelines. Perhaps it was because I dared to say that vaccines are neither "safe or effective"!

I have appealed their decision to censor my article, and I await their decision. In the meantime, if you wish to read the article you can see it on my new Substack platform, where, to date, it remains uncensored. Click here to read it - and I hope that the contents do not upset you too much.

 

Eli Lilly is to increase the price of Mounjaro (the weight-loss drug) by 170%? Would any industry, other than Big Pharma, get away with doing this? And is there a bigger price, yet to be realised, that these drugs will extract from patients?

The mainstream media announced this huge increase in the price of Mounjaro. 

This from the BBC : 

     “People paying privately for weight-loss drug Mounjaro in the UK face a rise in the cost of the treatment after manufacturer Eli Lilly said it was increasing the list price of the drug by as much as 170%. It means the suggested price for a month's supply of the highest dose of the drug will rise from £122 to £330…” 

Drug companies can take such action, and they will probably get away with it. Eli Lilly already makes enormous profits. Their gross profits for the financial year 2004-5 was $40.034 billion, a 38.99% increase year-over-year. So this new price increase is not justified in terms of the financial situation of the company, and is unlikely to result from the costs of production, or inflation, or any other economic justification - other than profiteering! 

Nor would I expect the mainstream media, or the government to protest about such profiteering! Big Pharma is too important for both of them; Big Pharma appears to be too powerful for either to question or challenge. They will stay quiet, happy to allow the NHS, and taxpayers to pay; and for people buying the drug privately to cough up the extra money. 

Yet the situation is far worse than this. 

Patients are likely to pay a much higher price than the financial cost. I first wrote about Mounjaro (Oxempic, Wygovy, et al) in September 2020, when the promotion of these ‘new’ weight-loss drugs first began, and I pointed out that they were not ‘new’. 

     “Semaglutide is NOT a new drug. It was discovered in 2012. Clinical trials began in 2015, and were completed in 2016. It was approved later in the same year. And this 'wonder drug', even after just 5 years, is already known to have serious side effects that go far beyond the gastrointestinal system. Certainly it causes stomach upset, stomach tenderness, stomach fullness, nausea, gaseous abdominal pain, indigestion, etc. But, according to the Drugs.com website, it is also known to cause recurrent fever, yellow eyes or skin, blurred vision, chills and cold sweats, confusion, discouragement, dizziness, fast heartbeat, feeling sad or empty, headache, increased heart rate, increased hunger, irritability, loss of consciousness, loss of interest or pleasure, nervousness, nightmares, seizures, shakiness, slurred speech, tiredness, trouble concentrating, trouble sleeping and unusual tiredness”. 

So the drug was neither new or safe. The point I was making then was that it was unethical to promote a drug so vigorously with so little mention of known and serious adverse reactions.

Regardless, the promotion continued, both by government and mainstream media, and by February 2024, when I wrote another article, it was clear that the drugs had become so popular, and in demand, that the drug companies would be making enormous profits. 

Therefore I could only assume that conventional medicine had ‘forgotten’ about their experience with another weight-loss drug, 20 years earlier. Acomplia was an obesity drug, approved in 2006, and (of course) hailed as a new 'wonder drug'. In 2008 the drug was refused a licence in the USA, and withdrawn in the UK and Europe, particularly over fears of serious adverse reactions, particularly depression and suicide. The medical 'science' which had proclaimed this wonder drug, was found to be 'faulty'. 

     "one study discovered that one-third of people on the drug lost 10% of their body weight, and 60% lost a less impressive 5%. Apparently, what the study did not say was that everyone in the trial was also on a low-calorie diet, and virtually everyone put the weight back on once they stopped taking the drug". 

So yet another example of pharmaceutical medicine not learning from their history; or maybe not caring to when in hot pursuit of large profits! The serious adverse drug reactions to Mounjaro, Oxempic and Wygovy have not disappeared. They are all given here for anyone who wants to see them. 

Patients taking these drugs may lose weight, however temporarily; but each time they take the drug they are increasing their risks of serious illness and disease through their ‘side effects’. So there is little doubt many patients will pay a personal price which will prove to be far higher than the proposed £208 increase in the cost of Mounjaro. Their health. And the NHS will have to pay a price far higher than the cost negotiated with Eli Lilley - the secondary cost of providing medical care for the enormous patient harm the drug will almost certainly cause. 

Perhaps, one day not too far away, we will learn that pharmaceutical medicine is a hugely profitable industry based on its ability to promote drugs successfully that ultimately are found to cause serious harm and misery to patients.

Thimerossal in Vaccines to be banned in the USA

Thirmerosal has been used in vaccines since the 1930's. Nearly 100 years later It is now being banned in the USA! What are the implications?

Thimerisol is to be banned from use in all vaccines in the USA. They have been used in vaccines since the the 1930's. 

Since that time vaccines containing thimerosal have routinely been described to patients as 'safe and effective'.

In 1999 the USA drug regulator, the FDA reviewed the use of thimerosal in childhood vaccines and found “no evidence of harm” but as a precautionary measure recommended removing thimerosal from childhood vaccines.

It's taken nearly 100 years for Conventional Medicine to ban vaccines containing thimerosal - because they were not “safe and effective”.

The ban applies only to USA! Drug companies will no doubt continue using it throughout the rest of the world - if they can get away with it.

What are the implications?

• Pharmaceutical medicine is routinely dishonest.

• Patients are not being told the truth.

• We have not been safe in their hands.

• There will be other drugs out there, harming us, but waiting to be banned.

• We must abandon pharmaceutical medicine.
