Mental Health Screening Revealed 1 in 2 People Were Crazy.
“The price good people pay for their indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” — Plato (427-347 BC)
"On Being Sane In Insane Places"
That study's from 1973. All that's changed is the vastly expanded number of behaviors now captured into the DSM-IV-TR, the Psych Industry Bible.
2008's diagnostic criteria for qualifying as 'Mentally Ill' includes such personal idiosyncracies as smoking and opposing authority: Any authority. Yet no one seems to mind. Because no one seems to realize how easily They might have Their own life, or the lives of their children, destroyed by the 'Mental Health' Industry.
1: No autopsy has ever found a trace of 'Mental Illness'.
2: Psychiatry has No cures.
3: Psychiatry has No hard bio-science to identify 'Mental Illness'.
4: Psychiatry Does have more money than God, from Drug Cos. and Tax payers.
5: Drug Cos. have drugs to sell: Lots of drugs.
6: Psychiatric drugs Kill people.
“When Hitler came for the Jews… I was not a Jew, therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church — and there was nobody left to be concerned.”
— Pastor Martin Niemoller, Congressional Record, October 14, 1968, vol. 114, p. 31636.
We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independance.
Mental Health Screening found that over 50% of those screened were in need of 'Mental Health' treatment. Teen Screen is a done deal, unless You get on the phone and stop it.

Bribed Docs, Us DOJ Closing In
Who Does Your Doctor Really Work For?
This acerbic bite out of orthopaedic integrity comes from time/cnn courtesy of Dr. Scott Haig. Even if you couldn't care less about hip replacements, or the surgeon's agenda in choosing them; Haig's fiery send up of ortho cutter's - "Why yes, of course we'll sell your product. Now where's the check?" - Will, ... keep you enthralled and grinning sly.
Here's Haig's opener.
"Early March was not a good time to break a bone. You might have had a difficult time finding someone to fix it, since thousands of orthopedists were otherwise occupied in San Francisco, at the 75th annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).
The mood there wasn't entirely jubilant. The past year has been a tough one for the business of orthopedics, one in which it has taken a hard, public slap from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ, you see, has discovered the "relationships" that so many orthopedic companies have established with orthopedic surgeons. Companies give money to doctors to test products, to help design or tout products and sometimes just to use a particular product (as in kickback). Orthopedists are hardly the only doctors paid by medical companies, but when the sheer amount of money being given to orthopedists came out of the shade into the sharp San Francisco sunshine last week, it did make quite a few of us blink."
If You think the DOJ has found a can of stink here; just wait till DOJ rips the lid off Psychiatry. Because you see; with Orthopaedic Surgery there's the possibility of real scientific proof existing that medical intervention Will improve a patient's life, unlike the oxymoronic behavioral-sciences bio-causative fraud of Psychiatry.
Thanks and a hat tip to the ever vigilant Sickmind Fraud at Psychwatch. If you're not checking psychwatch out, you're missing out.
And if you like Dr. Scott Haig's take here's another.

Alaska/Lilly Settle in Court - Everybody Loses
Jurors in Alaska vs. Eli Lilly let the maker of Zyprexa skate for $15 Million, [Reuters reports] and no admission of wrongdoing. This poison raked in $4.76 Billion last year. 23 Million people are being dosed with it. $15 Million in damages from Lilly - to Alaska - against $4.76 Billion is just another ho-hum day at to office to the drug giant. $15 Million to Lilly is the 25 cent piece You and I drop in a parking meter.Here's Lilly's release.
C O R R E C T I O N -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY)
On Feb. 8 2007 Evelyn Pringle brought us:
Nobody Buys Lilly's Innocence Routine About Zyprexa
"Eli Lilly is having trouble obtaining and retaining insurance coverage for Zyprexa litigation because apparently insurance companies are no longer willing to buy its wide eyed innocence routine when it comes to the company's fraudulent off-label marketing schemes.
In filings with the SEC, Lilly admits that it is having problems and that the company may end up having to pay its own Zyprexa costs, but blames it on the insurance industry stating: "We have experienced difficulties in obtaining product liability insurance due to a very restrictive insurance market and therefore will be largely self-insured for future product liability losses."
[Zyprexa has brought approximately $30 Billion into Lilly's coffers, and as of 14 months ago they were having problems buying insurance for it.]
On June 17 2006 Ms. Pringle brought us this piece on Lawyers and Settlements:
Drug Companies Still Peddling Risperdal and Zyprexa For Off-Label Use
"Persons on atypicals have been found to commit suicide two to five times more frequently than the schizophrenic population in general. According to award winning author, Bob Whitaker, "researchers in Ireland reported in 2003 that since the introduction of the atypical antipsychotics, the death rate among people with schizophrenia has doubled."
In an August 2005 interview with Street Spirit, Whitaker said: "They have done death rates of people treated with standard neuroleptics and then they compare that with death rates of people treated with atypical antipsychotics, and it doubles."
"In fact," he said, "in their seven-year study, 25 of the 72 patients died."
Here's more Zyprexa griping from an outfit called NARPA [National Association for Rights Protection and Advocacy]
Bonkersinstitue.org has a page listing the reported side effects from Zyprexa.
If you head over to furiousseasons or pharmalot [both linked on the sidebar] you'll notice the commenters are getting a wee bit hot under the collar.
Atypical Antipsychotics cause a human body to attack itself, and sometimes, others.
The LA Times reports: When the waist widens, risk of dementia rises
Massive weight gain is just one of antipsychotic poisons side effects.

Feds Focus On Docs Soliciting Bribes
Connecticut's recent suit against Eli Lilly involving Zyprexa involves allegations of racketeering.
The WSJ brings us:
"Until now federal investigations into payola to lubricate sales of orthopedic implants have focused on the companies with deep pockets. But now doctors on the receiving end of payments are becoming targets."
“We are going to be looking at those soliciting kickbacks,” Lewis Morris, chief counsel to HHS’ Office of the Inspector General at a big meeting of orthopedic surgeons this month, the New York Times reports."
We've already seen the California Physician Diversion Program - tasked with Rehabilitating 'unrehabilitable' - mentally ill Docs, throwing in the towel due to the staggering size and scope of the problem. Almost 1 in 5 Cal Doctors are 'Mentally Ill' according to Psychiatry's Bible - the DSM-IV-TR: and therefore UNFIT to practice medicine.
From the same WSJ page comes Boston.com.
"As alleged in our lawsuit, Dr. Chan is only one piece of a big scheme that has been going on across the United States,", .....
In the whistle-blower suit, Thomas alleges that Chan stopped buying equipment from him after Chan signed a $25,000 consulting agreement with Blackstone. Thomas had earlier rebuffed a request from Chan for cash kickbacks, even after Chan said salesmen for competing companies were providing them, according to the suit. .....
"Orthofix and Blackstone are facing several other civil lawsuits alleging that Chan operated unnecessarily. One case alleges that Chan was given stock options in Blackstone for using its equipment. The suit, filed in Arizona, alleges that Chan implanted a spinal device in a young trucker's back in 2005, after telling him that he was at risk of becoming a quadriplegic without the surgery. After the surgery, a worker's compensation evaluation of the MRI done before the surgery showed the procedure was uncalled for, according to the lawsuit. Orthofix and Chan deny the allegations."
The FDA has numerous Psychiatric antidepressant and antipsychotic meds on record as turning people into murderers. Yes, the odds are You won't become a killer if You get poisoned with these chemicals. Odds are OK on lottery tickets. Odds are NOT OK on MURDER.
We wonder just how far a street corner drug dealer would get in Court: claiming as his defense that upon the basis of a short chat with his customer, he determined that his customer was suffering from a 'chemical imbalance' in his brain, and that whatever poison he's peddling would correct that imbalance.

Harvey And The General
Brigadier General Stewart passed away in 1997.
Gen. Stewart entered WWII's Army Air Corps as Private Stewart - after being refused on his first try for being 5 lbs. short of the 148 lb. weight minimum - and worked his way up to pilot instructor: teaching other pilots to fly B-17s.
This is the pilot's position in the celebrated B-17 'Memphis Belle'.
The Memphis Belle was the first B-17 to survive 25 bombing runs over NAZI Germany. She was retired on June 7th 1943 and she and her crew went home.
A lot of other crews never came home.
Even with 4 of these 1200 HP engines and 13 of these .50 Brownings.
It took till June 1943 for any B-17 to Survive 25 missions.
Col. Stewart did not fly B-17s over NAZI Germany.
Col. Stewart flew a B-24 on bombing missions over NAZI Germany.
In his 1951 film, Gen. - then Colonel - Stewart looked at the very concept of 'Crazy'.
"Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, a middle-aged, amiable (and somewhat eccentric) individual whose best friend is an invisible six-foot, three-and-a-half-inch tall rabbit named Harvey. (Originally only 6 feet tall, Jimmy Stewart had to add to Harvey's height so that he could look up to him as described in the play). Harvey is a pooka, a mischievous magical creature from Celtic mythology. As the film begins, Elwood has been driving his sister and niece (who live with him and crave normality and a place in 'society') to distraction by introducing everyone he meets to his friend, Harvey. His family seems to be unsure whether Dowd's obsession with Harvey is an attempt to embarrass them, or a product of his (admitted) propensity to drink or mental illness.
His sister, Veta Louise Simmons (played by Hull), tries to have Elwood committed to a sanitorium. In exasperation, she admits to the attending psychiatrist (Dr Lyman Sanderson played by Charles Drake) that, after so many years of putting up with it, she sees Harvey every once in a while. This causes Dr. Sanderson to let Elwood out and lock Veta up. After sorting out the mistake, Dr. Chumley (head of the sanitorium played delightfully by Cecil Kellaway) decides that to save the reputation of the Sanitorium he must bring Elwood back. Faced by many trials she doesn't understand Veta says to her daughter "Myrtle Mae, you have a lot to learn and I hope you never learn it".
When tracked down, Elwood goes through several ordeals, although he remains oblivious to the plans put in place for him by Dr Chumley, Judge Gaffney (William Lynn) and Veta Louise. In a poignant scene where Dr. Sanderson and his nurse Miss Kelly (played by Peggy Dow) follow Elwood into an alley at the back of his and Harvey's favourite haunt - Charlie's Bar, Elwood tells the incredible story of how he came to meet Harvey, and explains the way in which people react when they meet them. In a later scene, he gives Dr. Chumley an insight into his "philosophy" of life - you can be "Oh so smart, or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart; I recommend pleasant. And you may quote me".
In the final scene of the film, Elwood (along with everybody else) arrives back at the hospital, having convinced Dr. Chumley of Harvey's existence. However, Dr. Sanderson convinces Elwood to come into his office where he'll receive a serum that will "stop (him - Elwood) seeing the rabbit." As they are preparing for the injection, Elwood's sister is told by their cab driver about all the other people he has driven to the sanitorium to receive the self-same medicine, warning her that Elwood will become "just a normal human being. And you know what stinkers they are." Upset by the very thought of this, Veta halts the procedure.
At the tale's end Harvey is given the choice of remaining with Dr Chumley (and potentially spending a lot of time in Akron, Ohio) or continuing his life with Elwood, catches Elwood up at the exit to the Sanitorium and is seen (indirectly) opening the gate to the hospital to follow the others out."
Lt. Gen. Valin, Chief of Staff, French Air Force, awarding Croix De Guerre with palm to Col. James Stewart.
Thank you, General.
We recommend you see 1951s Harvey and the 1990 film "Memphis Belle", again.

Road To Hell Paved With ? Intentions
The WSJ brings us yet another revealing report loaded with Stink Links.
Socialized Medicine/Universal Health Care in Mass. magically discovers it needs MORE FUNDING THAN ORIGINALLY PERCEIVED. We're Shocked! Shocked and Amazed I Tell You. Simply Shocked. NOT.
Every damn time Govt gets into handing out goodies it does so by first picking the pockets of the recipients. And it's not just money in Mass. Even if Mass. Govt. DOES grease the TAX HIKES past the TAX PAYERS, there'll still be a SHORTAGE of HEALTH CARE, for REAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS, NOT this Fascistic societal control crap called 'Mental Illness'.
For every $1 in goodies GOVT. hands You, it Has to Charge You $8, because That's how efficient Govt is, at wasting Your money.
Boston.com opens with a pic of the BACKS of uniformed ADVOCATES for ? We Love the caption.
"Healthcare advocates attended a meeting yesterday in Boston of the panel that oversees the subsidized health insurance program. The panel voted to raise premiums for some enrollees."
What are these faceless uniformed Advocates advocating for? Raises?
In Mass. After being bled for vampiric gas taxes Drivers then get robbed a Second time to burn up that gas, on the Mass. Turnpike: where toll booths repeatedly gouge them on a 'Pay per mile' scam. Set your alarm clock for coming hikes on the Pike, at the Cigarette store, Liquor store, whatever. They'll fly this barrage balloon right under the radar, or my name's not Millard Fillmore.
Back on Jan. 28 '08 the WSJ brought us a similar reportage from the Office of Socialist Central Planning and Coordination in Kalifornia.
So where's the dough coming from to cover these 'Budget Shortfalls'?

Mental Illness, Big Money, HWGA
Virginia decries shortage of (tax-funded) bed space for the 'Mentally Ill'.
"Of three levels of states, Virginia is in the top tier with the most public psychiatric hospital beds available, a nationwide study has found.
But the state still falls far short of the beds needed, according to the study by the Arlington County-based Treatment Advocacy Center, a national mental-health advocacy organization."
We Applaud Wholeheartedly the first two commenters. Go read them. They're well worth your mouse click.
E. Fuller Torrey, the advocacy center's president:
The According to the NYT 10 years ago, Dr. Torrey claimed that given 5-10 years he would find a cure for schizophrenia..
[5-10 years, huh? We're waiting, Doc.]
http://www.psychlaws.org/
This bio speaks for itself.
Laurie Flynn drops her carnuba waxing on Doc. Torrey's reputation here. You'll also find a Laurie Flynn under Teen Screen Truth, [Key Players] on the sidebar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Fuller_Torrey
Treatment Advocacy Center
"Torrey is a founder of the Treatment Advocacy Center, a national organization that supports outpatient commitment for certain people with mental illness who, in his view of their treatment history and present circumstances, are judged unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision. TAC has been credited by New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others with helping pass Kendra's Law in the state. Kendra's Law allows court-ordered involuntary treatment of people diagnosed with schizophrenia or other severe mental illness who have a history of noncompliance with psychiatric advice, i.e., individuals who are, "as a result of his or her mental illness, unlikely to voluntarily participate in the recommended treatment pursuant to the treatment plan."[3] Previously, only inpatient programs were available to submit a person to involuntary treatment. TAC's efforts to pass Kendra's Law led to similar successful passage of Laura's Law in California, and similar laws in Florida and elsewhere."
Wiki's also got Torrey's ties to NAMI.
Nat. Alliance for the Ment. Ill.
NAMI also speaks for itself, through Millions of Microphone bucks from Pharma.

But the state still falls far short of the beds needed, according to the study by the Arlington County-based Treatment Advocacy Center, a national mental-health advocacy organization."
We Applaud Wholeheartedly the first two commenters. Go read them. They're well worth your mouse click.
E. Fuller Torrey, the advocacy center's president:
The According to the NYT 10 years ago, Dr. Torrey claimed that given 5-10 years he would find a cure for schizophrenia..
[5-10 years, huh? We're waiting, Doc.]

Treatment Advocacy Center
"Torrey is a founder of the Treatment Advocacy Center, a national organization that supports outpatient commitment for certain people with mental illness who, in his view of their treatment history and present circumstances, are judged unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision. TAC has been credited by New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others with helping pass Kendra's Law in the state. Kendra's Law allows court-ordered involuntary treatment of people diagnosed with schizophrenia or other severe mental illness who have a history of noncompliance with psychiatric advice, i.e., individuals who are, "as a result of his or her mental illness, unlikely to voluntarily participate in the recommended treatment pursuant to the treatment plan."[3] Previously, only inpatient programs were available to submit a person to involuntary treatment. TAC's efforts to pass Kendra's Law led to similar successful passage of Laura's Law in California, and similar laws in Florida and elsewhere."
Wiki's also got Torrey's ties to NAMI.

Used Philosophies?
"I may err in my measures, but never shall deflect from the intention to fortify the public liberty by every possible means, and to put it out of the power of the few to riot on the labors of the many." --Thomas Jefferson
"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?" --Thomas Jefferson
"The human soul can no longer exist, ... " Wilhelm Wundt
"Now the word-symbols of conceptual ideas have passed so long from hand to hand in the service of the understanding, that they have gradually lost all such fanciful reference." --Wilhelm Wundt

Alaska, Zyprexa, $3 Billion?
Bloomberg.com opens with the following.
"March 18 (Bloomberg) -- An adverse jury decision in Alaska may be the first step in tripling to more than $3 billion Eli Lilly & Co.'s costs of resolving lawsuits over Zyprexa, which generates more than one-fourth of the company's revenue."
It seems Eli Lilly was remiss in warning of Diabetes risk related to its Zyprexa.
3 Billion dollars? Can you imagine what $3 Billion - even in neat stacks of brand new banded $100 bills would look like?
If you scroll down the page right here, two posts ago, you'll have no trouble imagining what tardive dyskinesia looks like.

Psychology's Guiding Lights
Wilhelm Wundt and William James. How much psych is corroded onto these two lugnuts? Well, according to Dr C George Boeree's page:
"Wilhelm Wundt and William James are usually thought of as the fathers of psychology, as well as the founders of psychology’s first two great “schools.” ..... Their lives overlap, for example, with Wilhelm Wundt born in 1832 and dying in 1920, while William James was born ten years later and died ten years earlier. Both have claims to having established the first psychology lab in 1875. And neither named his school. As you will see, there are other commonalities as well, personal and philosophical.
I believe we haven't seen thinkers of their stature in psychology since."
We've met Wundt with his "The human Soul can no longer exist, ... in the light of our current physiological knowledge." [Any shred of which physiological knowledge today's pill-pushing for bribes Psychiatrists are Still waiting for: 88 years after Wundt's death.]
So let's peer into William James kitchen.
In 1880, his title was changed to assistant professor of philosopher, which is where, in those days, psychology actually belonged. [& still does] In 1885, he became a full professor. Despite his battles with depression, he was well liked by his students and known for his great sense of humor. Even his textbook would have a certain lightness that we rarely find in textbooks. He seemed to enjoy teaching. On the other hand,
HE DISLIKED RESEARCH, DID ALMOST NONE OF IT, and said that LABS WERE BASICALLY A WASTE OF RESOURCES!"
[Just like the Labs at Pharma today. Why perform all that expensive research when there's the cost of all those pens, clipboards, meals, $45K career advancement awards, and continuing medical education grants, to ply Docs with? Just sign live people up: and Lawyers to deal with the families of those who don't live through their research]
"An example of functionalist thinking can be found in James’ view of emotions (the James-Lange theory):
Our natural way of thinking about these standard emotions is that the mental perception of some fact excites the mental affection called the emotion, and that this latter state of mind gives rise to the bodily expression. My thesis on the contrary is that the bodily changes follow directly the PERCEPTION of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur IS the emotion. Common sense says, we lose our fortune, are sorry and weep; we meet a bear, are frightened and run; we are insulted by a rival, are angry and strike. The hypothesis here to be defended says that this order of sequence is incorrect, that the one mental state is not immediately induced by the other, that the bodily manifestations must first be interposed between, and that the more rational statement is that we feel sorry because we cry, angry because we strike, afraid because we tremble, and not that we cry, strike, or tremble, because we are sorry, angry, or fearful, as the case may be. Without the bodily states following on the perception, the latter would be purely cognitive in form, pale, colourless, destitute of emotional warmth. We might then see the bear, and judge it best to run, receive the insult and deem it right to strike, but we could not actually feel afraid or angry.

...
To begin with, readers of the Journal do not need to be reminded that the nervous system of every living thing is but a bundle of predispositions to react in particular ways upon the contact of particular features of the environment. As surely as the hermit-crab's abdomen presupposes the existence of empty whelk-shells somewhere to be found,so surely do the hound's olfactories imply the existence, on the one hand, of deer's or foxes' feet, and on the other, the tendency to follow up their tracks. The neural machinery is but a hyphen between determinate arrangements of matter ourtside the body and determinate impulses to inhibition or discharge within its organs. When the hen sees a white oval object on the ground, she cannot leave it; she must keep upon it and return to it, until at last its transformation into a little mass of moving chirping down elicits from her machinery an entirely new set of performances. The love of man for woman, or of the human mother for her babe, our wrath at snakes and our fear of precipices, may all be described similarly, as instances of the way in which peculiarly conformed pieces of the world's furniture will fatally call forth most particular mental and bodily reactions, in advance of, and often in direct opposition to, the verdict of our deliberate reason concerning them. The labours of Darwin and his successors are only just beginning to reveal the universal parasitism of each creature upon other special things, and the way in which each creature brings the signature of its special relations stamped on its nervous system with it upon the scene.

Whistling to keep up courage is no mere figure of speech. On the other hand, sit all day in a moping posture, sigh, and reply to everything with a dismal voice, and your melancholy lingers. There is no more valuable precept in moral education than this, as all who have experience know: if we wish to conquer undesirable emotional tendencies in ourselves, we must assiduously, and in the first instance cold-bloodedly, go through the outward motions of those contrary dispositions we prefer to cultivate. The reward of persistency will infallibly come, in the fading out of the sullenness or depression, and the advent of real cheerfulness and kindliness in their stead. Smooth the brow, brighten the eye, contract the dorsal rather than the ventral aspect of the frame, and speak in a major key, pass the genial compliment, and your heart must be frigid indeed if it do not gradually thaw!

Tardive Dyskinesia
In Psych Lit. Tardive Dyskinesias are euphemistically written up as 'symptoms'. Symptoms don't manifest themselves as measurable, observable phenomena on their own. Symptoms point to underlying damage/pathology. Central Nervous System/Brain Damage is the cause of externally observable Tardive Dyskinesias.Do these people look like their 'Mental Health' has been improved? Do these people look like their quality of life has been improved?
Imagine if you will, someone slipping a nightly dose of some highly toxic substance into another person's dinner, and over time observing the victim's muscular twitches and malfunctions as the victim's Brain is attacked and progressively deteriorates. Bear in mind that this conduct occurs every day in America. It's not a TV crime thriller. Telly Savalas, Gene Barry, or Tom Selleck aren't going to come to the rescue.
Antipsychotic 'medications' are such a toxic substance. Antipsychotic 'medications' are daily inflicted - by the Millions in return for $ Billions - on children, the elderly, and people of all ages. Antipsychotic 'medications' produce the Brain damage that manifests itself to our view as 'Tardive Dyskinesias'.
Would You want to have to wear these contortions, in public, if the rest of you could even get out in public?

We're From The Government, We're Here To Help.
From ahrp. Ms. Sharav reports on 9 yr. old Hannah Polig - whose remaining 70 or 80 years as our neighbor have been saddled with 'massive brain damage' through the burden of autism, inflicted on her by a Pharma produced vaccine. This report also covers the CDC's shameless response. [par. 2]
"Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was adamant in defending the position that vaccines don't cause harm: "Let me be very clear that (the) government has made absolutely no statement about indicating that vaccines are a cause of autism," Gerberding told reporters in a telephone briefing. "That is a complete mischaracterization of the findings of the case, and a complete mischaracterization of any of the science that we have at our disposal today. So I think we need to set the record straight on that."
J&Js Risperdal is indicated for the treatment of Irritability Associated with Autism. So what's next for 9 yr. old Hannah? Will this child be subjected to further brain damage, from antipsychotics, to mask the symptoms of her Pharma/vaccine caused autism?
Furious Seasons hooked us up to this link regarding Lilly in Alaska Court for Zyprexa. Par. 10.
"But it submitted different information to the federal Food and Drug Administration, and the 2001 Physician's Desk Reference - a thick guide to medications used by doctors - said the clinical trials found almost no difference between the drug and a placebo in terms of blood sugar."
The Physician's Desk Reference itself, as of 2001, found no link between antipsychotics and Diabetes? What kind of money - scurrying through its ant farm of tunnels - does that take?

How Much Is Enough?
This Wall Street Journal looking link takes a look at the $31.9 Million it claims Johnson $ Johnson's CEO William Weldon claims as his own.Here's an SEC blurb from the above link.
Bloomberg news brings us the following 5 links arranged here in reverse chronology.
5: Earnings up 9.5% as of Jan 22 2008 [Pfizer forked over Listerine.] Bill, so far as we know; LISTERINE ISN'T KILLING people. Risperdal IS.
4:Job Cuts at J&J due to generic competition to Risperdal Nov. 15 2007 Hmmm. The Risperdal Medusa sprouts new heads?
[paragraph 3]
"J&J needs new businesses because it faces generic competition to Risperdal, the company's biggest drug with $4.2 billion in 2006 sales, and the migraine pill Topamax, with $2 billion, over the next two years. Chief Executive Officer William C. Weldon in July announced a $10 billion stock repurchase and plans to eliminate as many as 4,820 jobs.
``We hope we will be able to identify what is the next $20 billion business opportunity,'' Weldon said today in a telephone interview. ``We have the know-how across our pharmaceutical, biologics, devices, diagnostics and consumer businesses to bring completely new solutions to market.''
3: Ortho Evra birth control patch: Sept. 18 2007 problems for women and J&J
2: J&J to Cut Up to 4% of Jobs, Shut Facilities July 31 2007. This puppy needs a teaser.
"The savings will help J&J weather lost revenue from cheaper generics, said Chief Executive Officer William Weldon. The schizophrenia treatment Risperdal, J&J's biggest drug with $4.2 billion in 2006 sales, and the migraine pill Topamax, with $2 billion in revenue, may lose patent protection in 2008. Weldon also cited slower-than-anticipated sales of the Procrit anemia drug and Cypher stent as reasons for the cutbacks.
``We now have a much clearer picture of how J&J plans to respond to the patent expirations,'' said Sara Michelmore, an analyst with Cowen & Co. in New York, in a telephone interview today. ``The[y] needed to outline their strategy, given those issues and the more recent problems with Cypher and Procrit.''
PATENT EXPIRATIONS? How about the 1,093 RISPERDAL PATIENT EXPIRATIONS?
1: J&J announce $10 Billion share buyback. July 9 2007
"J&J last year bought Pfizer's consumer-health unit for $16.6 billion in cash, adding brands such as Listerine mouth wash, Nicorette smoking-cessation treatments and Sudafed cold, flu and allergy products."
Bill must be feeling pretty blue, with his pittance of $31.9 Million.
Here Bill, This ought to brighten your day. Connecticut's dragging your competitor Eli Lilly into Court, for Their version of Risperdal.
Connecticut Sues Lilly Over Zyprexa. March 12 2008
Thanks, and a hat tip to Furious Seasons for brightening Our day.

Rats, Back To The Future, Again
With more and more 'mental illness' being 'discovered' every day, [everywhere except by fripperies Not funded by Pharma tax fraud] engineering the need for ever more and more Psychiatric dope pushing producing its concommitant wash of sleep walking, brain damaged zombies from the Eloi who used to be our neighbors - we yearn for a resounding yell from John McFadden announcing that our side has scored the winning touch down, and the clock has run out.
That's Yersinia pestis, and on the left, its carrier. In 1348 it swept through Europe wiping out 1/2 of Europe's population.
That's yersinia pestis, and on the left its carrier. 1 in 20 Americans are infected with anti-depressant Yersinia pestis. 20 million are infected with neuroleptic Yersinia pestis. Almost 20% of the boys in school are getting infected by the Myth of ADHD Yersinia pestis.
Do we have to go rearranging these pictures to make the point?
Gas is headed for $4.00 a gallon. Even NASA can't locate the Firm of Brown & McFly delivering on those Flux Capacitor powered DeLoreans anytime soon.
Pharma's Yersinia pestis Court Room restitution for Medicaid and Medicare Fraud is headed for Pluto.
Do you think that any of That, might have anything to do with this, guidance counselling 'Mental Health' fascistic meddling of "Here, we'll put you on the pill honey," national tragedy from the NYT? People, we're All getting fluxed here.
Can We get a Hallelujah chorus, please?
Cut the GD funding Off, All of it.

The Liberty Curve
In the course of human history various and sundry Behaviors have qualified people as unworthy of Equal Treatment by others. Some folks in Communist China took to reading the works of America's Founding Fathers a few years back.
We've seen the photos of After the tanks went through, and over, some of them. We're not posting them. The Spanish Inquisition tortured and murdered people for not being Catholic. We've seen pictures of three young girls, on gurneys, who were on their way to school in the Phillipines, with their heads cut off and sitting beside their shoulders, for being Catholic. We're not posting them.
In the late 60s Speed Limit signs were defaced by well intentioned anti-drug vandals to read: "Speed Kills." We've forgotten that message, because today, "Speed Saves" children all over America, from inattention and the life threatening 'fidgets'. Some famous Scifi author once wrote that the only universal crime was stupidity.
So we're going back to psychrights.org, 'cause when it comes to Psych and psych drugs, we can never be too well informed.
The case against antipsychotic drugs: a 50-year record of doing more harm than good, by Robert Whitaker: Is Your's, for clicking on Scientific Research by Topic and then Clicking on Neuroleptics, and scrolling 2/3 of the way down the page. There's a whole lot more there as well, which can be your's if you wish to be well informed, as we do.
In this PDF we find Appendix A: detailing the Time Line development of these poisons. We encourage you, because after reading this, you will view those inflicting these poisons upon others as you would view the drivers of those tanks, the murderers of those girls, and the poisoners of our children, with Speed, for money.
It wasn't that many decades ago that even This, fellow would have been considered a blasphemous heretic, for his take on a tune which has undergone countless interpretations: a tune which never fails to raise the hair on the back of all our necks. Let's see what we can do about accelerating That learning curve too: the Liberty learning curve.
The menu button brings up an interview. Thank God this self described 'neurotic' is not being DSM interviewed. Those interviews take 7 minutes to qualify as bought and paid for excuses to murder people, for Pharma money, with Pharma's psych poisons.
BTW: The 2nd to last of the menu extras is a real box of fireworks.

It Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings
TMAP:
Psychrights.org has Allen Jones Full Whistle Blower report on this Witch's cauldron, and its 'Boil, boil, bubble and trouble' stew from Satan's own septic tank.
Go get it, and get educated. Allen Jones was DOING HIS JOB as an inspector in the Pennsylvania Govt. Office of the Inspector General [OIG]. Allen Jones was ordered NOT to DO HIS JOB, by the OIG. Allen Jones was FIRED for DOING HIS JOB, from the OIG. Allen Jones PDF is at the bottom of Psychrights Index page.
In California TMAP is hosing Californians for $500 Million a year, to poison inmates in prisons and mental hospitals. Since anitpsychotics are the equivalent of downing a teaspoon of cockroach spray a day, Nobody but Nobody feels more 'Mentally Healthy' on them. When inmates get out they toss the stuff, and then they Get tossed by the super-sensitivity-psychosis that these antipsychotic 'rat pellets of death' induce upon discontinuance.
These poisons interfere with a human brain's serotonin and dopamine receptors. Once those now Starved receptors are no longer being interfered with they go into industrial strength vacuum cleaner mode: sucking up All of what they've been denied with a 440 Volt fury, and Wham-O: psychosis, with Dracula chasing the victim around the room.

Psychrights.org has Allen Jones Full Whistle Blower report on this Witch's cauldron, and its 'Boil, boil, bubble and trouble' stew from Satan's own septic tank.
Go get it, and get educated. Allen Jones was DOING HIS JOB as an inspector in the Pennsylvania Govt. Office of the Inspector General [OIG]. Allen Jones was ordered NOT to DO HIS JOB, by the OIG. Allen Jones was FIRED for DOING HIS JOB, from the OIG. Allen Jones PDF is at the bottom of Psychrights Index page.
In California TMAP is hosing Californians for $500 Million a year, to poison inmates in prisons and mental hospitals. Since anitpsychotics are the equivalent of downing a teaspoon of cockroach spray a day, Nobody but Nobody feels more 'Mentally Healthy' on them. When inmates get out they toss the stuff, and then they Get tossed by the super-sensitivity-psychosis that these antipsychotic 'rat pellets of death' induce upon discontinuance.
These poisons interfere with a human brain's serotonin and dopamine receptors. Once those now Starved receptors are no longer being interfered with they go into industrial strength vacuum cleaner mode: sucking up All of what they've been denied with a 440 Volt fury, and Wham-O: psychosis, with Dracula chasing the victim around the room. And with the Furies of Hell in Hot Pursuit of this now poisoned for years, and brain damaged victim, sometimes, they strike back, at Anyone, within reach.

FEDS Raid Neighborhood Pharmacies
Both the FBI and DEA moved in in San Diego 2 days ago, and removed the legality of selling All Class II drugs from 2 Galloway and White Cross Drug Stores. According to MSNBC NEWS, Federal Law Enforcement grabbed 12 suspects related to allegations involving criminal distribution - without prescriptions - of 90,000 tablets of hydrocodone and 1,600 of oxycodone.
Both these drugs are characterized at SignOnSanDiego.com as "opiate-like painkillers [that] can produce a fast high similar to heroin and have been used by some as party drugs"
No Class II drugs? Whatever will we do, ... with the resultant threat to National Security, ... when Jack and Jill can't get their RITALIN, ... and public schools erupt in a wash of the dreaded ADHD, ... and it's life wrecking fidgetings?
Dear God, Call Out The National Guard! Get Homeland Security On The Horn, ASAP!
And Thank God, and pharmafraud for tipping us off. ROTFLMAO
Why? Because Pharmacists are Also 'Taking The Money', under the table, while selling $2 generics and charging You for the $200 label brands. The same dirt bag Pharmacists who are selling murder - as antipsychotic 'medications' - for hire. But it gets even better. The charges could earn these dope peddlers 5 years.
Be still my yearning heart.
"Book 'em Dano." And throw the book At 'em.

A Revolutionary Concept
Declaration of Independence
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.— Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
So what's this doing up on an anti-psych site?
We doubt that most of our fine younger readers - whose intelligence is Routinely underestimated by Central/Socialist/Fascist Planning - were ever even exposed to this virulent, dangerous strain of thought in today's public mis-education Govt/Corporate training camps, [read Charlotte Iserbyt] due to the Time constraints imposed in imposing What those young minds should be thinking, rather than teaching them How to accelerate the development and broadening of those young minds.
With the current institutionally mandated emphasis centered on the PC Shibboleths of Recycling and Global Warming, there simply isn't time left in the school day for such a second stringer as Freedom, to be covered.
Recycling as Fraud:
Have you ever taken your cans and bottles to a local recycling center and cashed them in? And did the money you got for them tally with the recycling charges you paid in the check out line? It's another fraudulent, revenue grubbing tax.
Global warming as Fraud:
Stroll on over to junkscience.com and get the education your parent's taxes Should have provided for you. Then if you wish, drop us a comment: pro, con, or flat out venomous if you're still sold on blaming the U.S. commuter and his automobile for glacial diminution, and planetary ecological upheaval. Again, Science trumps philosophy.
Freedom IS Science, because without Freedom Science itself is impossible.
So take a second good hard look at the above laundry list of gripes our forefathers submitted to leave everyone that precious, irreplaceable birthright of All people, and contrast those gripes with the current, and long standing gripes with Psychiatry from the anti-psychiatry movement. Then try telling even yourself that Psychiatry has any business inflicting its NAZI philosophy, on Anyone's Freedom.
BTW: Yes, we realize that human slavery Was an institution in 1787 in the colonies, and we also realize that the above Declaration was the most effective blow which could be delivered against that execrable abomination, at that time. And that the above Declaration and its subsequent US Constitution outlawed that abomination, as it was intended to, some years later.
Furthermore: We realize that the Civil Rights movement has been breaking its back to flesh out that promise of 'Equal Protection Under Law' since, the ratification of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which promised Freedom to All people.
It's been 140 years, and it's Damn Well Time that we Delivered on that promise made 140 years ago, to All people.
"Government is like fire, a dangerous servant and a terrible master." George Washington
Without Government legitimization, protection, and money, the Institution itself of Psychiatry would collapse.
Cut the GD funding Off, All of it.

Psychiatry And Its Laws: Repeal Them Both
Just as there are a rotten apple or two in every barrel, the obverse holds true: that there are a few Good apples in every rotten barrel. The names of those outstanding exponents of Liberty and Responsibilty - Dr Thomas Szasz and Dr Jeffrey Schaler - should ring no alarm bells among those who've spent even 8 weeks - the industry sub-standard max of short term rigged and therefore worthless clinical drug trials - investigating Psychiatry.
Sadly, these honest men and women of intelligence and conscience, and their views from within the industry, often don't receive the larger broadcast platform their expertise commends them to.
Recently recommended by Alison [I hope Alison's reading. Stop by and say Hi]: is Dr Karen Franklin, with her take on recent Court happenings in the area of "Injured Plaintiffs Falsely Branded Malingerers" and a recent deflation of the Courtroom validity of MMPI: the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Looks like quite a dust-up, with forensic experts being advised to make sure they know what they're up to before taking it up, in Court.
Psych and HWGA [Here we go again]
"critics [of MMPI] say it brands too many people - especially women - as liars"
Gee Whiz. What a Shock; considering that we've Already seen the blatant anti-black and anti-hispanic racism rampant throughout Psychiatry, to say nothing of its past anti-semitic atrocities. Now we have Sexism on top of the psych-pig pile too.
Hmmm. Looks like there's some obstruction in the Jeffries Tubes preventing our live link at the moment. It might be that runaway LeMonde article that ducked out of Engineering behind Scotty's back.
Anyway, here's the good Dr Franklin's URL, so for now, open a new window and type away.
http://forensicpsychologist.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-mmpi-scale
-invalid-as-forensic-lie.html
You back already?
Govt's legitimate responsibilties lie in maintaining a standing Navy, calling out the militia to quell insurrections, and getting the Hell out of the way on just about Every other issue imaginable. Govt. has NO business Whatever authorizing Anyone to determine the future legal debilitation of anyone else, based on Pharma's pill-pushing manual.
This 'In Loco Parentis' [expletive deleted] Crap being vested in Bribe Taking, "Yes Sir, We'll get right on it and SELL Your Poisons, Sir" is not only a crime against the spirit and tenor of the very Rule Of Law - without which we will All descend into savagery - but a Crime against all humanity itself.
The ongoing destruction of people merely 'for their own good and their Own safety' has to cease. If someone is acting 'strangely' enough to worry law enforcement about that person's safety, here's the only anywhere near acceptable limit.
3 days in the tank, then another 3 without the jacket if they still don't get it. Then If they still want to bang their head against the bars, or the wall outside, it's Their affair, Not anyone else's. Permanent lifetime debilitation by 1st labeling and then poisoning that person with chemicals which cause brain damage and May, turn that person into a killer, on a "pay for prescribe, take the bribe", basis, deserves real time in real prison in return, BECAUSE, These Jackasses have NO idea WHEN, WHERE, or AGAINST WHO, THEIR VICTIMS MIGHT GO OFF.
Here's Frederick Douglass:
"Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
— Frederick Douglass, civil rights activist, Aug. 4, 1857
Now we're Not advocating you inflict blows upon your Psychiatrist, that's too good for them, and very bad for you. Take them to Court, and Lock them up.
Douglass didn't convince you? How about this one?
"... freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it. A liberty to follow my own will in all things where that rule prescribes not, not to be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will of another man, ..."
— John Locke, Second Treatise, Ch. 4 § 21
And yet again:
"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." — Daniel Webster
We'll happily, and thankfully file the estimable Dr Franklin under NEWS; because:
1: Dr Franklin seems to be a very intelligent Dr whose very well versed in her area of expertise.
2: We love to learn stuff - unlike Psychiatry which doen't want You to know Jack - and what we've learned so far about the current Institution of pill-pushing for pay Psychiatry is that we wish Any of their master's/Pharma's products worked. Wouldn't it be lovely to just take a pill, whenever you take a look at Psychiatry? A safe, effective, affordable, anti-bulimic, to keep you from puking your guts out?
3: We're going to sup at Dr Franklin's fountain of knowledge in the hope of arming You, with any knowledge we can scrounge which may help You, if You or Your's have been the victim of this pseudo-scientific crap masquerading as medicine; the NAZI pseudo-science called Psychiatry.
4: Dr Franklin's site exists because there's a Brazilian rain forest worth of legislation surrounding Psychiatry, and much of its been bought by Pharma to push product. Psychiatry and its tangled rain forest of legislative protections both need repealing.
The oft heard paternalistic bombast of, "There ought to be a law." needs an answer, of "Yes, there Ought to be a law: requiring that for Every following law to be enacted, You, Senator, must 1st repeal 6 existing laws". They could repeal away for 50 years without even Approaching any of their pet porkers under even That stricture.
Sadly, these honest men and women of intelligence and conscience, and their views from within the industry, often don't receive the larger broadcast platform their expertise commends them to.

54,199% More Effective Than Brand B
A 54 THOUSAND PERCENT MARKUP?
Those marvelous folks at taf.org have a 2 page PDF press release from back in 2006 from the Hawaii State AG's Office. It's under 'Hawaii Sues Drug Manufacturers'.
"As an example of how the scheme has cost the State and Medicare consumers, Hawaii AG Mark Bennett noted that in one class action complaint in Massachusetts, Baxter was alleged to have an AWP for its sodium chloride of $928.51. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) found that the actual AWP for Baxter's sodium chloride was $1.71. The difference was $926.80 and the percentage spread was 54,199%."
AWP is Average Wholesale Price, which, along with another whole Funk and Wagnall's worth of alphabet soup Marketing terminology, are routinely massaged in the routine and ongoing, fraudulent massaging of Medicare and Medicaid.
And who do you think paid for that? And how many times?
I wonder if any of that $928.51 sodium chloride was handed out to physicians as "free samples"?
Ahh, ... Here's the NYT with the reason, Those pills must have wrought a 54,199% markup in their consumer's Quality of Life.
I wonder if there would be a similar percentile improvement in their consumer's Quality of Life if those consumers were told that the newer, safer atypical antipyschotic poisons they're being fed had an FDA reported track record of turning other consumers into corpses and killers?

Pharma In French Court: Manslaughter
Reuters brings us news that Sanofi Pasteur MSD, a joint venture of Merck and Sanofi-Aventis, are going to be explaining themselves to French Judge Marie-Odile Bertella-Geffroy regarding an anti-hepatitus B vaccine which Sanofi Pasteur produced.Judge Bertella-Geffroy is not just looking for money. She's looking for Manslaughter.
Sanofi Pasteur stands accused of failing to disclose serious side effects of their product which led to Deaths.
The families of 30 plaintiffs [and the families of 5 of those 30 who DIED] after taking Sanofi Pasteur's vaccine have filed a civil suit against the drug co.
Manslaughter, huh? Not just defrauding the French tax payer, and France's insurance carriers, but Manslaughter; as a result of, again, covering up and misrepresenting the safety of Pharmaceutical products.
Like the patent, barn full of BS on a hot summer day America has been getting on the newer, safer, atypical antipsychotics 'lower incidence' of tardive dyskinisia, akathisia, diabetes, and another 20 whole 20 mule team wagon loads of life and health wrecking horrors: the same Antipsychotics which are ON the FDA Record, as causing suicides and murders.
It seems the French Do have something to teach us, certainly on This issue."Book 'em, Dano."
Byron Richards from CCN brings us more.
Wiki France offers us a page on a Judge Bertella-Geffroy.
Which led to This translated page from French News LeMonde.
[Sorry, Star Fleet's Universal Translator seems to be on the fritz. Mr. Scott is hard at work on it. Till then, enjoy LeMonde in French.] [And now Scotty has informed us that even the original (without a subscription) has somehow escaped from Engineering under its own power.]
FDA, In Bed With Pharma, Ah - gain
FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach, already under withering scrutiny from Cong. Bart Stupak and Cong. John Dingall, once again shows us why.
Ahh -nd yet again, the redoubtable Ms. Vera Sharav of AHRP.ORG has the dirt, on Why, (Warning: movie sound bite) Eschenbach's clearing the way for Bristol Myers Squib to advertise and Direct Market, their atypicical antipsychotic poison Abilify, to poison children exhibiting the Behavior, labeled as Bipolar is a bad idea.
Oops. Here's the Real AHRP Link.
If Only, Bristol Myers Squibb were a true Squib load. Squib loads are exploding EFX blood packs in the movies where actors get shot, and then get back up to go work on another movie, unlike the lives and careers getting shot with these Pharma loads.
TAF.ORG [Taxpayers Against Fraud] has a table [page bottom] on monies recovered from Pharmaceutical cos. under the Federal False Claims Act. This table has Bristol Myers Squibb at $499 Million recovered By Govt as of 12/15/06, for: Marketing the spread on a variety of drugs and off-label marketing of the schizophrenia and bipolar disorder drug Abilify.
Lab Rats enjoy Far Better Legal Protections Than Human Research Subjects.
Tomorrow's news, yesterday: [NYT Sept. 28 2007] Read it and weep. If you expect the FDA to clean its own bowl and look out for anyone but Pharma, you're whistling past the graveyard.
With these little pill shaped cannisters of time release Zyklon B knocking the life out of Millions, while knocking down Billions, [$34.4 served/poisoned '06] you'd have better luck calling these guys than our currently mis-constituted, and Unconstitutional, FDA.
Update: 10/24/08: Unconstitutional is the wrong word. It's ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL since this FDA Preemption Crap directly Usurps & Cancels the People's VII Amendment RIGHT to Trial By Jury.
When We call this Govt./Industry colluding FDA fiasco ANTI CONSTITUTIONAL We're not joking. Julia's got links at her site. The lead off clues us in on a plot by Pharma to poison women, for being new mothers. This medico-fascism is NOT, what our Federal Govt. is supposed to be doing, on Our dime.
Need We remind you that Andrea Yates descent into hell at the hands of 'Mental Health' poisoners was initiated under the guise of 'post partum' depression?
Ahh -nd yet again, the redoubtable Ms. Vera Sharav of AHRP.ORG has the dirt, on Why, (Warning: movie sound bite) Eschenbach's clearing the way for Bristol Myers Squib to advertise and Direct Market, their atypicical antipsychotic poison Abilify, to poison children exhibiting the Behavior, labeled as Bipolar is a bad idea.
Oops. Here's the Real AHRP Link.
If Only, Bristol Myers Squibb were a true Squib load. Squib loads are exploding EFX blood packs in the movies where actors get shot, and then get back up to go work on another movie, unlike the lives and careers getting shot with these Pharma loads.
TAF.ORG [Taxpayers Against Fraud] has a table [page bottom] on monies recovered from Pharmaceutical cos. under the Federal False Claims Act. This table has Bristol Myers Squibb at $499 Million recovered By Govt as of 12/15/06, for: Marketing the spread on a variety of drugs and off-label marketing of the schizophrenia and bipolar disorder drug Abilify.
