Continuation From Previous Post **(Because word limit reached)**

From Allen Jones whistleblower and Robert Whitaker, Mad In America.

FDA data indicates that one of every 145 patients enrolled in clinical trials of the schizophrenia drugs (Risperdal, Zyprexa and Seroquel) died of side effects. In some trials, 22% of participants were hospitalized with severe adverse reactions.

And those public servants who licensed these drugs for Australian use, subsidised were not told they were most people could not take them even for six weeks, nor why they could not take them, (serious adverse drug reactions) and were given no information at all about deaths and suicides.

All those who licensed these drugs, prescribed and took them are also victims of this fraud.

IN USA defrauded states and users have legal retribution. Why not here?

It is time to face up that Australia, as well as USA, has been duped by the biggest fraud-mongers on the planet. Big Pharma.

David Healy summarised these frauds in this paper in 2006. http://www.tasmantimes.com.au/manufacturing-consensus

Maybe this situation (and others like it) has arisen due to modern day cases of 'Reverse Gullibility' described in the link below by Robert H Riffenburgh, PhD. The abstract describes why Louis Pasteur, Ignaz Semmelweis and others were disbelieved by the medical profession generally at the time and ends:

"To be truly professional, let us believe our evidence rather than our biases and not suffer from reverse gullibility."

All praise be to brave doctors like Dr Yola Lucire who dare to tell us the truth.
Many of those poisoned by pesticides and related chemicals in the UK are both silenced and made to suffer worsening health conditions by the inappropriate prescription of the contraindicated psychiatric and cardio-respiratory drugs.
Pesticides such as the organophosphorus group are normally highly lipophilic and can therefore easily cross the blood brain barrier where they cause damage to the brain and its cognitive function impairing thought processes and inducing psychiatric effects. By nature many of the antipsychotics have similar properties and target the same areas of the brain.
This is a case of profit maximisation. Induce the symptoms and sell the "cures", which induce further symptoms.
Who will fight against the "experts" when in a drugged stupor...?

Intoxication Anosognosia: The Spellbinding Effect of Psychiatric Drugs Ithaca, NY

Why do so many individuals persist in taking psychoactive substances, including psychiatric drugs, after adverse mental and behavioral effects have become severe and even disabling?

The author has previously proposed the brain, disabling principle of psychiatric treatment that all somatic psychiatric treatments impair the function of the brain and mind. Intoxication anosognosia (medication spellbinding) is an expression of this drug-induced mental disability.

Intoxication anosognosia causes the victim to underestimate the degree of drug, induced mental impairment, to deny the harmful role that the drug plays in the person's altered state, and in many cases compel the individual to mistakenly believe that he or she is functioning better.

In the extreme, the individual displays out of character compulsively destructive behaviors, including violence toward self and others

Dr. Lucire was a great help to me through a a very difficult time. My 18 year old daughter had killed herself in a Paxil-related suicide. Yola helped me safely withdraw from Effexor & Imovane - she in Auatralia & me in Canada - over the internet. I took her advice to my GP and he fully agreed with her change in treatment.

If anyone needs to understand the essence of Dr. Lucire's work or what she is trying to do - or rather what she is trying to prevent - then GOOGLE Sara Carlin Inquest - and one can see how a drug, already known to be dangerous to youth - can have devastating effects. If there is still a doctor out there that beleives "Paroxetine [Paxil, Seroxat, Aropax] is generally well tolerated and effective for major depression in adolescents" - then he or she should probably consider ECT therapy or perhaps an atypical antipsychotic - for themselves - to help get back to reality.

Kudos for Dr. Lucire - she deserves a nobel prize for the work she does.

Anyone interested in how the UK treats reports concerned about adverse drug reactions would be interested in this set of videos.

When the British Healthcare Commission received an overwhelming number of reports of persons becoming suicidal and homicidal on psychiatric (and other) medicines, it did not use peers of the prescribers, it did not defend the profession, it did not defend itself: it protected the public.

They did not use cronies, or persons likely to have the same knowledge deficits.

They did not use buddies of the doctors about whose prescribing reports had been made, nor did they ignore Product Information and Public Health Advisories in favour of using "peers" who, like the prescribers, had read none of this essential documentation.

They called relevant experts, consultant pharmacists, pharmacologists and pharmacogeneticists and started to re-educate the community. A parliamentary inquiry was called in 2005.

The role of the Medical Board of NSW, now Medical Council of NSW is protect the public and to protect the public.

This is the only way medicine gets better. It does not improve if problems internal to medical practice are routinely covered up and whistleblowers are done in.

This issue does not concern individual doctors, as the Health Care Complaints Commission seems to think (or maybe its legislation forces it to think like that.)

This problem is caused by pharmaceutical industry fraud, which affects patients, prescribers, peers and judges.

It is time to go to your members of parliament or candidates and get it fixed.
