Re: MOTHERS Act

I was doing some research last night and stumbled upon an article about the front groups and their funding. One of them is the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, they get over half of their funding from Pharmaceuticals. Then I recalled that they had a capwiz program going on the Congress website to get people to send in letters of support for passing the MOTHERS Act. http://www.congress.org/congressorg/webreturn/?url=/ndmda/issues/alert/?alertid=10862256

When I went to put this into an email into my UNITE listserv, I went to the Menendez legislative website and got the list of groups sponsoring the bill. http://menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=257314

I looked and the DBSA was not listed, although it was not specifically excluded. Looks like the good senator did not want people to realize that pharma is helping to get this bill passed.

Wed Mar 26, 2008 5:06 pm (PDT) no, not confused, educated, fluoride causes fluorosis, first sign is chalky white mottling of teeth called dental fluorosis, Dentists make $600-$1,200 PER TOOTH to repair fluorosis damage

more people die from fluoride poisoning each year than from AIDS, in fact more than twice as many from fluoride than AIDS

Lilly Settles Alaska Zyrexa Lawsuit and New "Mental Disorder&quot; - Text Posted by: " datasearch%40earthlink.net">datasearchearthlink.net"
datasearch%40earthlink.net">datasearchearthlink.net

Wed Mar 26, 2008 6:17 am (PDT) Anchorage Daily News
Lilly and state settle Zyprexa lawsuit
March 26th, 2008

Eli Lilly and Co. and the State of Alaska have agreed to settle the
state's lawsuit against the drug maker over the use of Zyprexa. Lilly
will pay the state $15 million and agreed to ensure that Alaska is
treated as favorably as any other state that may settle with the company
in the future over similar claims.

Alaska was the first state that took the company to trial over marketing
of Zyprexa for use by the State's Medicaid program. At least nine other
states have sued Eli Lilly for illegally marketing the drug for
unapproved uses and concealing the drug's side effects.

Alaska Attorney General Talis J. Colberg and Lilly announced the
settlement early today. The trial began March 3, 2008, in Superior Court
in Anchorage.

The agreement resulted from ongoing mediation ordered by trial Judge
Mark Rindner before the trial began. Presiding Judge Morgan Christen
renewed mediation efforts with the parties last week.

"I am very pleased with the efforts by Assistant Attorney General Ed
Sniffen and our team of trial attorneys," Attorney General Talis Colberg
said. "We believe this is a good result for the State of Alaska and the
Department of Health and Social Services,&quot; he added.

Wed Mar 26, 2008 7:54 am (PDT) Now that's what I'm talking about!

My Great-Aunt lived to 102 and actively avoided doctors and wouldn't go near
one.
She was very wise. It seemed to me most older folks avoided doctors until
they were about to die unless
they needed some stitchs or a bone set.

I do like the idea that hormones could help memory but getting to the
natural/organic foods that
can deliver the hormones is the trick.

Jim

Either these researchers have memory problems and have forgotten the
thousands of other ways that our body is contaminated and sickened; or, they
are just looking for an easy answer.
Just months before the public was informed about how dangerous HRT is, I had
surgery to remove a cluster of cysts from my breast. I had been on HRT for
almost a year (treatment for Menopause) before the cysts were found. I had
pneumonia several times, I had severe head aches, gum problems developed;
all side effects of HRT. Had it not been for a very caring surgeon, I most
likely would have developed and died from breast cancer, or stroke. On
follow up exam, the surgeon got angry when he saw that my OBGYN had put me
back on HRT. He said that he and the pathologist had specifically given a
written opinion that I should not have HRT, as my cells were broken,
invasive inductal hyperplasia. He said, when I got cancer, it would spread
like wild fire. He called m at work the nest day and had set up an
appointment with an Onycologist, who would give his opinion. That Dr. said,
don't even eat a sweat potato. The OBGYN still pressured me to take the crap
which thickened mucous and caused the other side effects. I have not had
pneumonia or the severe head aches since I quit HRT. My mamograms also
cleared up. As for memory, I wish I could forget much, especially about the
disgraces in care and protection. Thank God, I had a caring and honest
surgeon. There are too many alterations to our food and our environment to
ignore; when making a diagnosis that lack of hormones is causing memory
problems. My grandmother lived to be almost 100, she had 17 children and
almost 100 grandchildren. She had no memory problems, ofcourse, she saw her
first doctor when she was on her deaths bed. She drank well water, raised
her own food, and never even saw a fast food restaurant.

I think the point here is that lowering of the oestragen prior to the

surgery led to a reduction in memory...... ...therefore normal

lowering of oestragen in the life cycle might well do the same.

Similar things happen in males with hypogonadism whether acquired or

congenital ie in cases of Klinefelters syndrome (47xxy)

Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:05 pm (PDT) After heart disease and cancer, the third most common cause of death
is iatrogenic, or doctor caused. Statins are the new estrogens, and
the marketing people are trying to sell that statins prevent
Alzheimer's just as marketers tried to sell estrogens to prevent
dementia. Some wise physician once said that when you have a tonic
that treats everything, it is likely that it treats nothing. Now we
have a plethora of drugs that treat everything. Some preventive
monitoring is a good idea, but increasingly one needs to be skeptical
about medical advice, especially direct from a doctor.

Dangerous Psych Drugs and Pregnancy: Help Stop the Mothers Act Posted by: "Jim Moore";

Dangerous Psych Drugs and Pregnancy: Help Stop the Mothers Act
by Byron J. Richards

The Senate is about to approve legislation Mothers Act - S.1375 (http://www.naturaln ews.com/022853. html) which mandates the indoctrination of pregnant and nursing mothers into the use of extremely dangerous psychiatric medication. We already know this class of medication poses serious health risks to both mother and baby. Consequences to the baby are now proven to cause nerve-related changes that can adversely affect health for a lifetime.

This Big Pharma legislation was innocuously crafted under the pretense of helping pregnant mothers deal with stress and mood. On the surface it is made to look like a helpful public policy that any Senator would want to support. The reality is that pregnant and nursing mothers have become a Big Pharma target market and this legislation locks in taxpayer funds to dispense psych drugs to pregnant and nursing mothers - guaranteeing that Big Pharma will get billions for poisoning the most vulnerable members in our society.

Now that Senators are being called on the carpet for what this law will actually do; i.e., injure babies for life - they have gone behind close doors to finish marking up the bill and plan to sneak it through the Senate in the beginning of April without any debate or chance for amendment. A marriage of Big Pharma dollars with a bizarre socialist medicine agenda is more compelling to them than real health. The legislation is cosponsored by both Clinton and Obama (members of the Senate HELP committee that will bring the legislation to the floor of the Senate), but make no mistake - it is also widely supported by republican senators and Bush will sign it in a heartbeat. Both sides of the aisle are owned by Big Pharma. The only thing more important to them than the Big Pharma money is their image - so let's make it clear: they are proposing legislation that knowingly will injure mothers and babies.

The only thing standing in the way of the final passage of this legislation is your opposition. Go to my website at www.wellnessresourc es.com and click on the Take Action link. With two mouse clicks you can use my CapWiz software to send a letter of opposition to both of your senators, it only takes 30 seconds.

Scientific Evidence of Psych-Drug Damage Relating to Pregnancy
The dangers of psych drugs during pregnancy and lactation have been reported for a number of years. However, within the past six months a stunning amount of new data has become available which I will now summarize for you. A lot of this information is new since the Senate bill was first crafted. Any Senator who was truly interested in the health and well being of mother and child would put the Mothers Act on hold until the true risks of these drugs are fully known. It is completely irresponsible of Senators to create laws which will directly injure mothers, unborn children, and new babies.

It is a well known scientific fact that psych drugs readily cross the placenta and expose the fetus to pharmacologically active levels of these drugs. It is also known that nursing mothers have pharmacologically active levels of these drugs in their breast milk.

Exposing a fetus or new baby to these drugs is far different than exposing the adult nervous system which has already established brain circuitry. The fetus's evolving nerves are trying to form core nerve circuitry (like computer hardware) that cannot easily be changed later, establishing connections throughout the body - such as to the heart and lungs, and setting up how these organs will be run by the nerves over the course of a lifetime. Available evidence clearly shows that psych drugs interfere with these natural processes and pose a grave risk to the unborn - a risk that can result in a lifetime of poor health.

A meta-analysis published in May of 2007 ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1769. ..) showed that women taking antidepressants in the first trimester of pregnancy had a 72% increased risk for a child with cardiac malformation (birth defect). A study published in Dec of 2006 ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1716. ..) reviewed earlier studies showing that the use of antidepressants during any phase of pregnancy carried serious risks for birth defects, especially cardiovascular.

It reviewed a Danish study showing 60% increased risk, an American study showing 100% increased risk, and a Swedish study showing 120% increased risk for cardiovascular defects. The American study showed 4% of women who used antidepressants during pregnancy had a baby with any type of birth defect; 2% of women having babies with cardiovascular birth defects. It is clear that antidepressant medication interferes with how nerves communicate to the heart as the fetus is evolving. The story of Manie - a baby born with an antidepressant- induced heart defect can be found at http://www.unitefor life.org/ .

A Dec of 2007 Dutch study ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1825. ..) reports on the broad array of side effects in babies whose mothers took antidepressants during pregnancy. These include respiratory distress, feeding and digestive disturbances, irritability, and convulsions. The authors also point out that animal studies have shown "permanent changes in specific parts of the brain and altered behavior in adulthood after perinatal exposure to SSRIs.&quot;

A Dec of 2007 Swedish study ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1800. ..) confirms much of this information, again pointing out the high rates of respiratory distress, convulsions, hypoglycemia, and overall poor health (low Apgar scores). An Oct of 2006 study ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1692. ..) explains that 30% of babies born to mothers who used antidepressants have significant inability to adapt (adjusting to being born and then thriving). This means that even when there are not blatant birth defects, general health of the newborn is compromised across the boards - an incredibly dangerous situation.

Indeed, data published in Oct of 2006 ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1689. ..) showed mothers who took antidepressants are much more likely to have premature deliveries and low birth weight babies - indicative of general malnutrition induced by antidepressant medication. Studies in sheep ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1626. ..) clearly show that this is because antidepressants reduce the flow of blood to the uterus, in turn reducing the amount of oxygen and nutrition that can get to the baby.

An Oct of 2007 U.S. study ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1770. ..) reviewed the animal data that shows exposure to antidepressants causes life long abnormalities in behavior and stress tolerance. A Feb of 2005 study ((http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1568. ..) demonstrated that 2 month old infants already had a depressed and inappropriate response to pain - a key factor indicating disturbed development of the nervous system.

This issue is directly related to properly coping with stress or pain as an adult, the failure of which leads to anxiety, fibromyalgia, and increased risk for sudden death from a cardiovascular event. This is a profound neurologic change because it means that the developing nervous system, as a result of exposure to psych meds, has been "traumatized, " adversely priming nerves to hyper-react to future stress.

Several studies have tried to identify childhood behavioral and attention issues in those exposed to psych drugs during pregnancy (Jan of 2007: http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1719. .. and June of 2006: http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/1674. ..). While poor coping trends are evident, a clear pattern has not emerged because these children are still living in high stress environments due to parental instability - which is never good for children whether they have been exposed to medication or not.

The bottom line of all of this information about psych drug use during pregnancy is that it is one huge experiment with many unknown and likely adverse health consequences. Once again we see the failure of the FDA to protect the public, as the FDA does not demand Big Pharma do studies to prove these drugs are safe for pregnant women. To the contrary, most available science tilts in the direction that they are quite unsafe and carry extreme risks for the baby - with ominous implications for future poor health for the child and health care costs to society.

Senators in favor of this legislation, which would steer 80% of pregnant women on to these meds, need their heads and morality examined. They should be personally held accountable to the mothers whose babies their law injures.

Lawmaker Wants Probe of Antipsychotic Drugs Posted by: " datasearch%40earthlink.net">datasearchearthlink.net"

Pharmalot
Lawmaker Asks NJ AG To Probe Antipsychotics
By Ed Silverman
March 26th, 2008

New Jersey's Medicaid program spent more than $73 million on
antipsychotic meds for children less than 18 years old between 2000 and
2007, according to state records, even though the drugs weren't approved
by the FDA for treating kids. And a state official acknowledges the
drugs may have been prescribed for conditions other than schizophrenia
and bipolar disorder, the approved uses.

And so a state legislator has written New Jersey Attorney General
calling for an investigation. In a recent letter, Pat Diegnan, an
assemblyman who has previously been outspoken about the use of these
meds, wrote Anne Miligram to pursue an investigation of the "alleged
misrepresentations concerning the safety and effectiveness of
antipscychotic drugs,&quot; which he first requested more than a year ago of
her predecessor.

Patrick J. Diegnan, Jr. (Democrat)
Several states are have filed lawsuits against drugmakers - Lilly,
AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson - for alleged improper marketing and
failing to disclose serious side effects, all of which prompted state
Medicaid programs to overpay for the meds, which include Zyprexa,
Seroquel and Risperdal. A few hours ago, Lilly agreed to pay $15 million
to settle a lawsuit filed by Alaska, which claimed the drugmaker hid
side effects caused by Zyprexa.

Whether such a small settlement will motivate other states to pursue
investigations remains unclear. Alaska spent $40 million over five years
on Zyprexa and so the recovery is modest, to say the least. We have
placed a call to a spokesman for NJ Attorney General Anne Milgram, who
last year formed a task force to explore the relationship between
drugmakers and docs. We will update you when we receive a reply.

N Ireland hair test / antidepressant / suicide Posted by: "bryce_j_j"

Wed Mar 26, 2008 4:25 pm (PDT) N Ireland hair test / antidepressant / suicide
Last Modified: 26 Mar 2008
Source: PA News

A single sample of hair could help scientists identify if young
people using drugs are more prone to suicide and self-harm.

Pioneering technology developed by the University of Ulster and the
University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain will enable researchers to
carry out a complete chemical breakdown of a person's strand of hair
to reveal what drugs they have taken in the past six months.

Researchers think this could lead to an important breakthrough to
help to identify people at risk from suicide and self-harm by
examining if prescribed anti-depressants and illegal drug use are
linked.

Professor Franklin Smyth, from the Biomedical Research Institute at
the University of Ulster, who is supervising the research,
explained: "If drugs have been taken, even going back to a period of
up to six months, it is still possible to detect them by analysis of
the hair sample using our state-of-the- art instrumentation at Ulster.

"Drugs are chemically more stable in hair matrices compared to either
blood or urine.&quot;

The new technology uses the latest advances in liquid chromatography,
a technique to separate chemicals into different molecules so that
the various drugs can be separately identified.

According to Professor Smyth, the research was developed specifically
to help identify people at risk from suicide and self-harm in
Northern Ireland.

He said: "In Northern Ireland, there are six anti-depressants
prescribed by doctors and we have a high rate of suicide amongst
young people here, and we want to see if there is any correlation
between legitimately prescribed drugs and anything that has been used
in a night club.";

Now that scientists at the University of Ulster have developed the
appropriate analytical technology, the next stage will be to conduct
controlled field trials.

Professor Smyth said: "If we can get regulatory approval from
relevant councils to carry out this work, which involves consulting
with GPs and accessing funding, then it could be of significant
beneficial use to society - especially if a correlation can help to
identify people at risk from suicide and self-harm."

Maybe that's what's causing the majority of citizens to become passive as the government robbs us of our rights and sales our health to the highest contributor. I want people to picket the government to stop the bought and paid for favors which allowed deals like TMAPS.
