Avandia: still on sale!

Avandia is banned in most of Europe. But it is still being sold. This disgraceful fact has been highlight in a WDDTY (What Doctor's Don't Tell You) report, based on new research published in the British Medical Journal
http://www.wddty.com/avandia-still-not-banned-and-still-killing-people.html

The drug is known to be responsible for 1,250 heart attack, heart failures, and deaths for every 100,000 people taking it, with an increased heart attack risk of 16%, and an increased risk of congestive heart failure by 23%, and an increased risk of death of 14%.

And around 3.8 million people in the USA are taking it. WDDTY estimate that this will mean that about 47,500 of them will die, or suffer heart problems as a result.

Who cares? Not, apparently, the drug companies; or the regulatory agencies.

Strattera, ADHD and Big Pharma double standards

Big Pharma will do anything to sell drugs. If banned in one place, they will sell them elsewhere. And they won’t necessarily tell patients ‘elsewhere’ of the problems the drugs have encountered.
Why is a pharmaceutical drug banned in one place and not another? It has often led me to wonder whether the citizens of one country are more able to cope with the drug than another. But it is not this, of course. It is the opportunism of Big Pharma - and their wish to sell any drug, however dangerous, to anyone, anywhere, at any time - and damn the consequences!
This situation has been well spotted in this webpage
Strattera is Lilly’s drug for ADHD. On its USA website they warn of an increased risk of suicide. In China it says nothing about this, or any other DIE. Instead, it tells the Chinese that unless they take the drug, they might contract ADHD! The say that the drug is ‘FDA approved’ - but does not mention that it has a ‘black box’ warning.
          “Lilly's arrogant disregard for patient safety is apparent in China, where the company aggressively promotes Strattera not only for ADHD but also for anxiety, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, tics, Tourette syndrome and God knows what else.
There is nothing ‘anti-chinese’ about this. People in the UK are not told that drugs have been banned in the USA; and vice versa. It appears to be standard Big Pharma behaviour.
          “Three years ago Eli Lilly agreed to remove false statements from strattera.com for the simple reason that Lilly was required to do so.   Today Lilly allows false statements on lillychina.com because the company is not required to remove them. 
As the website says, Lilly's ethical standards are questionable, to say the least. 
Mmmmm. That is to say the very least!

More (real) science supporting homeopathy

This new research is showing that after 'extreme' homeopathic solution, the original substance continues to be present. This is the Abstract of the research.

Abstract

Homeopathy is controversial because medicines in high potencies such as 30c and 200c involve huge dilution factors (10⁶⁰ and 10⁴⁰⁰ respectively) which are many orders of magnitude greater than Avogadro's number, so that theoretically there should be no measurable remnants of the starting materials. No hypothesis which predicts the retention of properties of starting materials has been proposed nor has any physical entity been shown to exist in these high potency medicines. Using market samples of metal-derived medicines from reputable manufacturers, we have demonstrated for the first time by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction and chemical analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), the presence of physical entities in these extreme dilutions, in the form of nanoparticles of the starting metals and their aggregates.

So the denialists arguments, 'there is no evidence that homeopathy works', or 'homeopathy just cannot work' is gradually falling to the scientific evidence. That is, to the evidence of proper scientists - not those who are being paid by the Pharmaceutical Companies!

Vaccines. They don't want you to know how bad they are!

Vaccines are causing unprecedented levels of danger to those who continue to accept them. But no-one is letting you know! 
Indeed, there seems to be a deafening lack of interest in drug and vaccine damage in the mainstream media. And even blogs like this one as littered by denialists who don’t seem to give a damn about the dangers, but in ‘undermining’ the evidence against them. Here are just about a few recent news releases that have appeared on the internet during the last couple of weeks.
This article reports that whereas in March 2011 Japanese authorities ordered doctors to stop using the pneumococcal and Hib vaccines, following the death of just 4 children, the ‘real news’ was that more that 2,000 babies have died in the USA after receiving the same vaccines. Yet people in the USA have not been told about this.
In this video, Dr David Ayoub, MD, presents “shocking, documented evidence of the relationship between Autism and the mercury preservative, Thimerisol”. Thimerisol, of course, is in a lot of vaccines; whilst in others it is replaced by equally noxious toxins. Ayoub connects this with a policy to control population.
These dangers of Mercury are supported in this feature in Dr Mercola
and also in this one.
This feature outlines 6 new studies linking mercury, in vaccines, with Autism. It would seem no matter how many studies are published, ConMed will continue to deny them.
This CBS News feature does tell the truth, but allows ConMed room for defence, of course. The research referred to is “a host of peer-reviewed, published theories that show possible connections between vaccines and autism”. The defence is just to deny the relationship, and to criticise the research.
A Swedish based study provides strengthened evidence of the association between the Pandemix vaccination (given for swine-flu) and narcolepsy in children and adolescents.
Links between the swine-flu jab and narcolepsy have been rife, particularly in Scandinavia, for many months now. This Irish newspaper article, reveals that at least one country has taken notice of this evidence. The Health Service Executive is removing all stocks of the vaccine Pandemrix. However, this will not protect anyone outside Ireland!
This goes into the history of how polio vaccine has been sold to us, despite evidence that one vaccine failed completely, whilst another ‘was a disaster’. It also outlines how other, simpler investments (water supply, anti-poverty measures, etc) would have produced better results in Africa (but obviously with less profit for Big Parma). It also mentions the emerging evidence that children receiving live polio virus drops continue to ‘shed’ the virus, endangering their families, friends and neighbours for many weeks after the vaccine was given. 
And there is much more in this, and other postings from this organisation. Get to know about this ‘Vaccine Resistance Movement’ - it produces some interesting work.
The silence of the mainstream media shows how deeply embedded they are with Big Pharma, and how dependent they are on their advertising and support. It demonstrates that we are not being told the truth - and that the ConMed Medical Authorities don’t want us to know the truth.
The don’t want anyone to know that homeopathy is a viable alternative to these awful vaccines; and it can even undo the damage that has been done. Have a look first at this article.
One technique, used increasingly by homeopaths, to to use the vaccine associated with the health damage, in homeopathic potency. Have a look at this research into homeopathy treatment undertaken by an Australian homeopath, Fran Sheffield.

Rising reports of bad reactions to pharmaceutical drugs

This new study confirms my impression that conventional medicine, and Big Pharma drugs, are getting more dangerous. The study states that official reports of 'negative reactions' to prescription drugs have increased dramatically over the last decade.
http://whtc.com/news/articles/2011/mar/28/rising-reports-of-bad-reactions-to-drugs/

          "Between 2000 and 2010, the number of reports coming in grew steadily by more than 11 percent every year. By 2010, they added up to 2.2 million reports - 55 percent of the entire database total".

The study looked at official FDA figures, but what has to be remembered is that it is estimated that only 10% of adverse reactions (DIEs) are reported to these regulatory agencies, not least because conventional mEDICAL practitioners spend a great deal of their time denying that the drugs they have prescribed could possibly have caused any problems!

I suspect the conventional medical establishment will respond to this in the normal way! More people are taking the drugs! More people are reporting side effects (or DIEs)! But one way or another, conventional medicine is just a very dangerous form of medicine.

Antidepressants. Drugs to avoid?

The dangers of antidepressant drugs have  been know for a long time. ranging from suicide (yes, a drug for depression causes some people to commit suicide), sexual dysfunction, and much more. Now new research has indicated that drugs like Prozac thicken arteries, and can cause strokes and heart problems.

http://www.naturalnews.com/031973_Prozac_arteries.html#ixzz1IvtCfuUZ
and
http://www.wddty.com/antidepressants-cause-heart-attack-and-stroke.html

Yet doctors continue to prescribe them, in ever increasing amounts. In the UK, GPs have increased antidepressant drug use by nearly 50% in the last few years. This was announced by the BBC in its news broadcasts yesterday, on Radio and Television. Yet, as usual, the BBC did not mention these DIEs (disease inducing effects); so yet again, the British public is not informed by the mainstream media!

Many people, an increasing number, are looking for safer more effective therapies, and homeopathy is certainly one of these. See, for example, this great website, which contains several individual testaments to the efficacy of the use of homeopathy with people suffering depression.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Homeopathy-Healing-Depression-Anxiety-Suicide

But it is not just homeopathy, there are lots of alternatives to the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs. See, for example, the following website

http://www.naturalnews.com/031916_depression_remedies.html

Just with any other health condition, there are always safe, more effective treatments than pharmaceutical drugs. Unfortunately, the BBC isn't telling you this!

Breast milk bad, vaccines good!

How little do medical experts really know about health! I had to look at the date of this article to see whether it an April Fool's joke? It isn't!

There is a new piece of 'scientific' research that has been published, entitled 'Inhibitory Effect of Breast Milk on Infectivity of Live Rotavirus Vaccines'. It advises nursing mothers to delay breast-feeding until after vaccinations - because breastfeeding lowers the efficiency of vaccines!

As the website, Vaccine Truth says - "Just when we thought the world could not get any more insane. It does!"
http://vactruth.com/2011/04/05/experts-recommend-delaying-breastfeeding-until-vaccinations-have-taken-effect/

This is not a paper written by cranks. The long list of 'experts' listed are associated with organisations such as the National Centres for Immunization and Respiratory Disease, The National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, and many others.


Young babies do not have a fully developed immune system, and breast milk from their mother is what protects them until their immune systems develop, and begin to function automatically.


But these 'experts' were concerned about the fact that live oral rotavirus vaccines were not effective. So who was to blame? Was it the vaccine that was no damn good? No, of course not. It is mum's who are to blame. They are stopping these nice vaccines working!


There is only one good thing about this piece of 'science'. It shows the absurdity of conventional medical science, and its subservience to the needs and interests of the big Pharmaceutical Companies. It shows that nothing good has come, is coming, or will ever come from mainstream medicine.


Safe and effective medicine can only come from alternative medical therapies, such as homeopathy; holistic therapies that work with the body, and its natural immunity, and not against it.
