Strattera: Psych Drug DEATHS As UK State Secrets

AboutLawsuits.com has:

Strattera Liver Injury Reports Continue To Be Received By FDA

And Before you even Read it, ...... We have 1 question:

How many people have actually DIED, or had their liver and kidneys Blown out..... from Undiagnosed, Untreated, ADHD?

Here's 2 keepers from the above.
"The bolded warning indicates that the medication should be discontinued in patients who develop jaundice, which involves a yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, or who have laboratory evidence of liver injury while taking Strattera."
"Drug induced liver injury is the most common reason for acute liver failure in the United States. A drug may cause chemical damage to liver cells which can result in serious injury to the liver and may cause death. Signs of liver damage may include nausea, jaundice, vomiting, bleeding, abdominal pain or mental confusion. Kidney failure may also be present in some cases."
Mental Confusion? Isn't this stuff peddled to make people Unconfused?


drugawareness.org links to Sepp Hasslberger at newmediaexplorer.org who has: (from Oct 2008)

Strattera Adverse Effects: UK Medicines Agency Refuses To Act
"Janne Larsson, an investigator and reporter in Sweden, has obtained information about adverse event reports on Eli Lilly's ADHD drug Strattera, using the Swedish freedom of information laws. The data, coming from both the FDA's adverse reaction database and from reports to the UK's Medicines agency, shows numerous adverse effects and scores of deaths by suicide.

Yet the agency, even after repeated prodding by Larsson to initiate action, has refused to budge or even acknowledge that there is a problem. MHRA apparently accepts the drug's producer Eli Lilly's data rather than its own and the FDA's adverse event reports."

Hasslberger's article has Larsson claiming MHRA "cannot verify the source" of false info regarding Strattera deaths, when it was the Manufacturer itself - Eli Lilly - which Provided that info, ..... To MHRA.

Hasslberger also brings us This report from Janne Larsson:

Suicides and Psychiatric Drugs: A Report Based On Data From The National Board Of Health And Welfare In Sweden. On pg 9:
"Better sources of information are the unpublished clinical trials of psychiatric drugs done by pharmaceutical companies, and the important studies done by independent researchers.

A number of these studies show that antidepressants and neuroleptics increase the risk of suicidal behaviour and directly cause effects that lead to suicide."
As the old Scot in Braveheart said: (right after they cauterized his arrow wound shut with red hot steel): "Shoore and That'll Wake you up in the Morning"

And in This letter from Janne Larsson to Professor Kent Woods: Chief Executive MHRA:
"Add to this the staggering number of adverse events reported internationally for Strattera (the majority for children) Lilly has told the MHRA: During this reporting period, a total of 23,132 spontaneous adverse event reports of atomoxetine [Strattera], representing 58,048 adverse events, were collected by the MAH [Market Authorization Holder; Eli Lilly] [5] This covered the period from November 2002 to March 2006. The number of persons who have experienced suicidality in connection with Strattera treatment has now reached 965 (PSUR 9, p. 106). Up to November 2007 (PSUR 9, Annex 16) there were also 513 case reports about mania, psychosis or hallucinations in connection with Strattera treatment.
Furthermore:

Strattera - 10,998 Adverse "Psychiatric Reactions" reported In Less Than 3 Years
"These agencies, responsible for protecting the public from harmful drugs and for "appropriate treatment", consider a document reviewing the "suicidal and self-injurious behaviour" caused by a psychiatric drug in the category of state secrets, and that it would be "an actionable breach of confidence" to let the public know about these data."
State Secrets? "an actionable breach of confidence?" STATE SECRETS?

Orwell's 1984 is now 25 years behind us in Western Civilization's rear view mirror.

Again: How many people have actually DIED, or had their liver and kidneys Blown out, ..... from Undiagnosed, Untreated, ADHD?

In the pre Public/Private cooperation CHANGE AGENT days Before 'Mental Health' became such a Lucrative obsession, ..... those Untreated ADHD-ers became carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers etc. (I.E. people who actually Contributed to society) Rather than crippled wards, or full time residents of the Granite Orchard, in our Brave New, One World Disorder, National Socialist, For Profit/Non Profit, Non-$cience, State.

FDA: Agency Whistleblowers Seek Presidential Intervention

NYT Gardiner Harris has:

Dissidents At FDA Complain Of Inquiry

In an escalating war between FDA Scientists who complained of Intimidation BY FDA Brass, and FDA Brass themselves, yet another shot has been fired.

This time, After the Dissidents went to the US House with a pile of Documents which launched a letter from the House To FDA Commish von Eschenbach, it appears that the Dissidents may have been Counter Attacked By FDA Brass: whom They accuse of launching a criminal Investigation against them in retaliation, ...... for complaining.
"Heidi Rebello, an F.D.A. spokeswoman, said she could neither confirm nor deny the existence of a criminal investigation."
The Dissidents are asking President Obama to Intervene immediately.

HR 5605: Physicians Payments Sunshine Act Of 2008

It looks like Pharma with their Multi Billion Dollar Psych Hustle MAY be needing some consoling, because HR 5605 might be a WIN for America.

Red Orbit has:

Doctors Gifts Must Be Disclosed Under New Measure
"Kohl said he was confident the legislation, called the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, would pass in the current Democratic-led Congress."
Having to Actually Disclose all that Grease they've been spreading around might leave Pharma themselves Diagnosably 'Clinically Depressed'. And then They would have be subjected to their Own Antidepressing, Antipsychoticing Chemical horrors, with perhaps a side order of Forced ECT (1) 'Treatments'.

The Prescription Project has:

What the Sunshine Act Means.

Downside? 2 More years till it kicks in.

"Where will reports be published?

On a public, searchable website, no later than September 30, 2011."

Here's the text of HR 5605: LINK

In Sept 2007 S. 2029 was a Senate proposal to address the problem.

Being libertarian We're addicted to the adage that America needs JUST 1 MORE LAW:

'No new law may be passed without 1st Revoking 6 existing laws.'

Congress could haply Continue pork-barreling America for another 29 years before that law would even Lipstick their piggie bank. However: given the LETHAL corruption in Academic and Corporate Medicine today - Especially Psychiatry - HR 5605 appears to be desperately needed, and until Constitutionally Mandated Inalienable Rights/Real Free Markets blow that LETHAL Psychiatric Corruption clean Out of medicine, We'll (reluctantly) Endorse this proposed can of Life Saving Tire Patch.

We're reluctant only in that HR 5605 doesn't go far enough. With the Hundreds of Billions in Pharma's cash boxes: $Million Dollar Fines are barely a slap on the wrist.

On January 15, 2009, the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division and Acting United States Attorney in Philadelphia announced a criminal information and a civil settlement involving pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company. The case involves off-label marketing of Eli Lilly’s drug Zyprexa for uses other than what the Food and Drug Administration approved. The company is charged with one count of distributing misbranded drugs with inadequate directions for use. A plea agreement signed by Eli Lilly admits the company’s guilt to the criminal charge of misbranding. Specifically, Eli Lilly admits that between Sept. 1999 and March 31, 2001, the company promoted Zyprexa in elderly populations as treatment for dementia, including Alzheimer’s dementia. Eli Lilly has agreed to pay a $515 million criminal fine and to forfeit an additional $100 million in assets. A civil settlement has been reached between Eli Lilly, the United States and relators, in which Eli Lilly will pay up to $800 million to the federal government and the states to resolve False Claims Act claims by Medicaid and other federal programs and agencies including TRICARE, the Federal Employees Health Benefits program, Department of Veterans Affairs, Bureau of Prisons and the Public Health Service Entities. The federal government will receive approximately $438 million from the civil settlement. The state Medicaid programs and the District of Columbia will share up to approximately $361 million of the civil settlement, depending on the number of states that participate in the settlement. The qui tam relators will receive $78 million from the federal share of the settlement amount. A Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) between Eli Lilly and the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services requires that a Board of Directors committee annually review the company’s compliance program and certify its effectiveness; that certain managers annually certify that their departments or functional areas are compliant; that Eli Lilly send doctors a letter notifying them about the global settlement; and that the company post on its website information about payments to doctors, such as honoraria, travel or lodging. Eli Lilly is subject to exclusion from Federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, for a material breach of the CIA and subject to monetary penalties for less significant breaches.

TDD (202) 514-1888
Eli Lilly and Company Agrees to Pay $1.415 Billion to Resolve Allegations of Off-label Promotion of Zyprexa

$515 Million Criminal Fine Is Largest Individual Corporate Criminal Fine in History; Civil Settlement up to $800 Million

American pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Company today agreed to plead guilty and pay $1.415 billion for promoting its drug Zyprexa for uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Department of Justice announced today. This resolution includes a criminal fine of $515 million, the largest ever in a health care case, and the largest criminal fine for an individual corporation ever imposed in a United States criminal prosecution of any kind. Eli Lilly will also pay up to $800 million in a civil settlement with the federal government and the states.

Eli Lilly agreed to enter a global resolution with the United States to resolve criminal and civil allegations that it promoted its antipsychotic drug Zyprexa for uses not approved by the FDA, the Department said. Such unapproved uses are also known as "off-label" uses because they are not included in the drug’s FDA approved product label.

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Gregory G. Katsas and acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Laurie Magid today announced the filing of a criminal information against Eli Lilly for promoting Zyprexa for uses not approved by the FDA. Eli Lilly, headquartered in Indianapolis, is charged in the information with promoting Zyprexa for such off-label or unapproved uses as treatment for dementia, including Alzheimer’s dementia, in elderly people.

The company has signed a plea agreement admitting its guilt to a misdemeanor criminal charge. Eli Lilly also signed a civil settlement to resolve civil claims that by marketing Zyprexa for unapproved uses, it caused false claims for payment to be submitted to federal insurance programs such as Medicaid, TRICARE and the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, none of which provided coverage for such off-label uses.

The plea agreement provides that Eli Lilly will pay a criminal fine of $515 million and forfeit assets of $100 million. The civil settlement agreement provides that Eli Lilly will pay up to an additional $800 million to the federal government and the states to resolve civil allegations originally brought in four separate lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. The federal share of the civil settlement amount is $438 million. Under the terms of the civil settlement, Eli Lilly will pay up to $361 million to those states that opt to participate in the agreement.

Under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), a company must specify the intended uses of a product in its new drug application to the FDA. Before approving a drug, the FDA must determine that the drug is safe and effective for the use proposed by the company. Once approved, the drug may not be marketed or promoted for off-label uses.

The FDA originally approved Zyprexa, also known by the chemical name olanzapine, in Sept. 1996 for the treatment of manifestations of psychotic disorders. In March 2000, FDA approved Zyprexa for the short-term treatment of acute manic episodes associated with Bipolar I Disorder. In Nov. 2000, FDA approved Zyprexa for the short term treatment of schizophrenia in place of the management of the manifestations of psychotic disorders. Also in Nov. 2000, FDA approved Zyprexa for maintaining treatment response in schizophrenic patients who had been stable for approximately eight weeks and were then followed for a period of up to eight months. Zyprexa has never been approved for the treatment of dementia or Alzheimer’s dementia.

The criminal information, filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleges that from Sept. 1999 through at least Nov. 2003, Eli Lilly promoted Zyprexa for the treatment of agitation, aggression, hostility, dementia, Alzheimer’s dementia, depression and generalized sleep disorder. The information alleges that Eli Lilly’s management created marketing materials promoting Zyprexa for off-label uses, trained its sales force to disregard the law and directed its sales personnel to promote Zyprexa for off-label uses.

The information alleges that beginning in 1999, Eli Lilly expended significant resources to promote Zyprexa in nursing homes and assisted-living facilities, primarily through its long-term care sales force. Eli Lilly sought to convince doctors to prescribe Zyprexa to treat patients with disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer’s dementia, depression, anxiety, and sleep problems, and behavioral symptoms such as agitation, aggression, and hostility.

The information further alleges that the FDA never approved Zyprexa for the treatment of dementia, Alzheimer's dementia, psychosis associated with Alzheimer's disease, or the cognitive deficits associated with dementia.

The information also alleges that building on its unlawful promotion and success in the long-term care market, Eli Lilly executives decided to market Zyprexa to primary-care physicians. In Oct. 2000, Eli Lilly began this off-label marketing campaign targeting primary care physicians, even though the company knew that there was virtually no approved use for Zyprexa in the primary-care market. Eli Lilly trained its primary-care physician sales representatives to promote Zyprexa by focusing on symptoms, rather than Zyprexa’s FDA approved indications.

The qui tam lawsuits alleged that between Sept. 1999 and the end of 2005, Eli Lilly promoted Zyprexa for use in patients of all ages and for the treatment of anxiety, irritability, depression, nausea, Alzheimer’s and other mood disorders. The qui tam lawsuits also alleged that the company funded continuing medical education programs, through millions of dollars in grants, to promote off-label uses of its drugs, in violation of the FDA’s requirements.

"Off-label promotion of pharmaceutical drugs is a serious crime because it undermines the FDA’s role in protecting the American public by determining that a drug is safe and effective for a particular use before it is marketed," said Gregory G. Katsas, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division. "This settlement demonstrates the Department’s ongoing diligence in prosecuting cases involving violations of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and recovering taxpayer dollars used to pay for drugs sold as a result of off-label marketing campaigns."

"When pharmaceutical companies ignore the government’s process for protecting the public, they undermine the integrity of the doctor-patient relationship and place innocent people in harm’s way," said acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Laurie Magid. "Off-label marketing created unnecessary risks for patients. People have an absolute right to their doctor’s medical expertise, and to know that their health care provider’s judgment has not be clouded by misinformation from a company trying to build its bottom line."

The global resolution includes the following agreements:

  • A plea agreement signed by Eli Lilly admitting guilt to the criminal charge of misbranding. Specifically, Eli Lilly admits that between Sept. 1999 and March 31, 2001, the company promoted Zyprexa in elderly populations as treatment for dementia, including Alzheimer’s dementia. Eli Lilly has agreed to pay a $515 million criminal fine and to forfeit an additional $100 million in assets.
  • A civil settlement between Eli Lilly, the United States and various States, in which Eli Lilly will pay up to $800 million to the federal government and the states to resolve False Claims Act claims and related state claims by Medicaid and other federal programs and agencies including TRICARE, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, Department of Veterans Affairs, Bureau of Prisons and the Public Health Service Entities. The federal government will receive $438,171,544 from the civil settlement. The state Medicaid programs and the District of Columbia will share up to $361,828,456 of the civil settlement, depending on the number of states that participate in the settlement.
  • The qui tam relators will receive $78,870,877 from the federal share of the settlement amount.
  • A Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) between Eli Lilly and the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services. The five-year CIA requires, among other things, that a Board of Directors committee annually review the company’s compliance program and certify its effectiveness; that certain managers annually certify that their departments or functional areas are compliant; that Eli Lilly send doctors a letter notifying them about the global settlement; and that the company post on its website information about payments to doctors, such as honoraria, travel or lodging. Eli Lilly is subject to exclusion from Federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, for a material breach of the CIA and subject to monetary penalties for less significant breaches.
"OIG’s Corporate Integrity Agreement will increase the transparency of Eli Lilly’s interactions with physicians and strengthen Eli Lilly’s accountability for its compliance with the law," said Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Daniel R. Levinson. "This historic resolution demonstrates the Government’s commitment to improve the integrity of drug promotion activities."

In addition to the $1.415 billion criminal and civil settlement announced today, Eli Lilly previously agreed to pay $62 million to settle consumer protection lawsuits brought by 33 states. The state consumer protection settlements were announced on Oct. 7, 2008.

"Today's announcement of the filing of a criminal charge and the unprecedented terms of this settlement demonstrates the government's increasing efforts aimed at pharmaceutical companies that choose to put profits ahead of the public's health," said Special Agent-in-Charge Kim Rice of FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations. "The FDA will continue to devote resources to criminal investigations targeting pharmaceutical companies that disregard the safeguards of the drug approval process and recklessly promote drugs for uses for which they have not been proven to be safe and effective."

"The illegal scheme used by Eli Lilly significantly impacted the integrity of TRICARE, the Department of Defense's healthcare system," said Ed Bradley, Special Agent-in-Charge, Defense Criminal Investigative Service. "This illegal activity increases patients’ costs, threatens their safety and negatively affects the delivery of healthcare services to the over nine million military members, retirees and their families who rely on this system. Today’s charges and settlement demonstrate the ongoing commitment of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and its partners in law enforcement to investigate and prosecute those that abuse the government's healthcare programs at the expense of the taxpayers and patients."

"This case should serve as still another warning to all those who break the law in order to improve their profits," said Patrick Doyle, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services in Philadelphia. "OIG, working with our law enforcement partners, will pursue and bring to justice those who would steal from vulnerable beneficiaries and the taxpayers."

The civil settlement resolves four qui tam actions filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania: United States ex rel. Rudolf, et al., v. Eli Lilly and Company, Civil Action No. 03-943 (E.D. Pa.); United States ex rel. Faltaous v. Eli Lilly and Company, Civil Action No. 06-2909 (E.D. Pa.); United States ex rel. Woodward v. Dr. George B. Jerusalem, et al., Civil Action No. 06-5526 (E.D. Pa.); and United States ex rel. Vicente v. Eli Lilly and Company, Civil Action No. 07-1791 (E.D. Pa.). All of those cases were filed by former Eli Lilly sales representatives.

The criminal case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Office of Consumer Litigation of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. The civil settlement was reached by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Justice Department’s Civil Division.

This matter was investigated by the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.

Assistance was provided by representatives of FDA’s Office of Chief Counsel and the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units.

The Corporate Integrity Agreement was negotiated by the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Eli Lilly's guilty plea and sentence is not final until accepted by the U.S. District Court.

"We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood."

Carl R. Rodgers, Former President of the American Psychological Association (APA)

"The techniques of brainwashing developed in totalitarian countries are routinely used in psychological conditioning programs imposed on school children. These include emotional shock and desensitization, psychological isolation from sources of support, stripping away defenses, manipulative cross-examination of the individual’s underlying moral values by psychological rather than rational means. These techniques are not confined to separate courses or programs...they are not isolated idiosyncracies of particular teachers. They are products of numerous books and other educational materials in programs packaged by organizations that sell such curricula to administrators and teach the techniques to teachers. Some packages even include instructions on how to deal with parents and others who object. Stripping away psychological defenses can be done through assignments to keep diaries to be discussed in group sessions, and through role-playing assignments, both techniques used in the original brainwashing programs in China under Mao."

Thomas Sowell, writing in Forbes, 1991

"Nearly half a century has passed since Watson proclaimed his manifesto. Today, apart from a few minor reservations, the vast majority of psychologists, both in this country and in America, still follow his lead. The result, as a cynical onlooker might be tempted to say, is that psychology, having first bargained away its soul (1) and then gone out of its mind (2), seems now, as it faces an untimely end, to have lost all consciousness."

Musical Interlude: Perpetual Burn

The Incomparable Jason Becker


But First Wiki:

"At the age of 20, he joined David Lee Roth's band, replacing Steve Vai, who went on to join Whitesnake. While recording the A Little Ain't Enough album and preparing for the subsequent tour in 1990, Becker began to feel what he called a "lazy limp" on his left leg. He was soon diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and given three years to live. He could barely finish the recording, using low-gauge (thin) guitar strings and other techniques, which would make it easier to play with his weakening hands. Although he managed to finish the album he did not join the supporting tour due to his inability to perform on stage; former Lizzy Borden guitarist Joe Holmes took Becker's place on tour.

He eventually lost the ability to speak and now communicates with his eyes via a system developed by his father. Although his ALS gradually robbed him of his ability to play guitar, to walk, and eventually even to speak, he still remains mentally sharp and, with the aid of a computer, continues composing. In the back of the Perspective CD case, Becker states "I have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It has crippled my body and speech, but not my mind." Now in his 30s, his medical condition has remained stable since 1997. In 2003, Jason posted on his website that he was feeling better and had gained some weight. There have been no updates since then.How Long has ALS been afflicting people? And How Much Longer are we going to keep Researching, Poisoning, Crippling and Killing People who Think and Speak in 'Strange/Unacceptably Creative' fashions? And how much of that Wasted Money could have been spent curing a Real, Physical Pathology, ...... since At Least Lou Gehrig in 1939?

TMAP: Penn Pharmacist Fiorello Sentenced

Pennsylvania State Pharmacist Steven Fiorello was convicted on 2 felony Conflict Of Interest counts which carried a possible $10,000 fine and 5 years Each. Steven Fiorello has been sentenced, to 18 months probation.

The Pittsburg Tribune Review has:

Ex-State Pharmacist Fined $3,000 And Put On Probation


Here's some background.

Pharmacist Convicted Over Conflicts Of Interest/Pharmalot 12/08

Mr Fiorello had previously been fined $27,000 by the Penn State Ethics Commission.

AHRP/infomail

Thanks to the tireless work of Penn State OIG Investigator Allen Jones - who was Fired from his job, for Doing his job - TMAP is going down. See (backstory). The Relator named in Texas 2nd petition is Allen Jones.

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.” -

— Mahatma Gandhi

Allen Jones is Not the only person to have been wrongly Fired - for Doing his job - in this Chemical Factory/Useless Bureaucrat "Profits Over People" Atrocity.
In March of 07 Evelyn Pringle had:

Makers of Zyprexa, Risperdal and Seroquel Under Fire.

"In the summer of 2002, psychiatrist, Dr Kruszewski, was employed with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, and charged with reviewing psychiatric care provided by state-funded agencies to identify waste, fraud, and abuse. He was also responsible for reviewing the deaths of individuals in state care who died under suspicious circumstances in facilities inside and outside of Pennsylvania.

Early in his investigation, Dr Kruszewski noticed that almost all of the patients under state care were on drug cocktails consisting of antipsychotics, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. The populations he found drugged most often, he said, were children in state care, the disabled, people in state prisons, and children in the juvenile justice system.

For instance, he says, Neurontin was only approved for controlling seizures, but "was being prescribed for anxiety, social phobia, PTSD, oppositional defiant behavior, and attention deficit disorder with no evidence to support these uses."

When he informed his superiors about the high rate of off-label prescribing and warned about the risk of liability to the state of Pennsylvania if it continued, he was told, "it is none of your business."

In June 2003, Dr Kruszewski inspected a facility in Oklahoma that housed children from Pennsylvania after an unexpected death of a child, and found children were being overmedicated and housed in deplorable living conditions, in addition to being sexually and physically abused by staff and kept in unnecessary restraints and seclusion.

In a report, Dr Kruszewski recommended removing the children from the facility, "in order to protect other innocent individuals from morbid and mortal consequences of severe over-medication, including chemical restraints; emotional, physical and sexual abuse; seclusion; and dirty and inadequate living conditions."

A day later, Dr Kruszewski was accused of "trying to dig up dirt," and was subsequently fired in July 2004, because he refused to keep quiet and accept that it was none of his business, he says.

Zyprexa: Pharma Skates Again

WSJ 01/15/08:

Justice Dept Beats Chest Over Zyprexa Settlement

Look at the numbers. Lilly agreed to pay $1.415 Billion to settle off label marketing violations. They pleaded guilty to a Misdemeanor for marketing Zyprexa for 'Treatment'' of Dementia, and in so doing, Lilly sidestepped Criminal Prosecution, which might have cut them OUT of the Medicare and Medicaid Billions.

Update 01/25/09: See above USDOJ release: bulleted list point 4.
"Eli Lilly is subject to exclusion from Federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, for a material breach of the CIA and subject to monetary penalties for less significant breaches."

The pic is $1 Million in $1 Dollar notes. A Billion is a Thousand Millions. Imagine that photo stack of $1 Dollar notes repeated 1,415 times on this same page.

We deeply regret the past actions covered by the misdemeanor plea,” CEO John Lechleiter said in the company’s release.

$800 Million in Civil Suits.

Money Pic X 800.

see AHRP

"The latest Eli Lilly Zyprexa settlement for another massive lawsuit brought by 18,000 people who claimed they developed diabetes or other diseases after taking Lilly's antipsychotic drug is for $500 million. Another 1,200 plaintiffs are not part of the settlement. Lilly is less concerned about settlements; having settled a Zyprexa lawsuit involving 8,000 plaintiffs for $690 million."

Zyprexa has brought in more than $37 Billion since 1996.

Money Picture, ...... times 37,000, ...... minus 1,415 Pictures, ..... of junk paper, ..... which isn't even real money but a stack of Govt IOU's, ..... unlike the very REAL people who have been crippled and killed By Zyprexa, ..... for breaking the 1st Amendment, .... as determined by Ideates who've inhaled the ideating methane of other Ideates.

FDA: Siding With Industry Over Patients, Yet Again


Reuters has:

US Lets Drugmakers Advise Doctors On Unapproved Uses

By Lisa Richwine

But 1st, before this latest FDA Outrage makes you sick all of its Own(ed),

WSJ has:

Sidney Wolfe: Outsider Becomes FDA Insider


"Dr Wolfe called the FDA’s 100th birthday party in 2006 a “propaganda campaign” to hide the agency’s “unprecedented assault on the American public."

Now on to the bad news.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health officials finalized guidelines that allow pharmaceutical companies to tell doctors about unapproved uses of their medicines, a practice opposed by critics of industry marketing.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines allow manufacturers such as Pfizer Inc and Merck & Co to distribute copies of medical journal articles that describe unapproved uses. The action could help companies expand the markets for medicines and medical devices.

The move, announced a week before Republican President George W. Bush leaves office, puts in place a policy that drew objections from congressional Democrats and drug-industry critics when it was proposed last year. Opponents say it will allow promotion of uses without adequate testing.

By law, manufacturers are prohibited from marketing their medicines for uses not approved by the FDA. But doctors can prescribe drugs for any use they see fit, a practice known as "off-label" use.

Distribution of medical literature suggesting a drug may have merit for an unapproved use is a marketing area that has been in dispute for years.

The FDA said "public health can be served when health-care professionals receive truthful and non-misleading scientific and medical information on unapproved uses."


Industry critics say allowing companies to distribute the information promotes untested uses of drugs and may be dangerous. It also could deter manufacturers from conducting additional tests of the new uses and subjecting them to FDA scrutiny for possible approval.

Consumer advocate Sidney Wolfe said the guidelines were only recommendations to companies, rather than a formal regulation, and should be reversed quickly after Democrat Barack Obama becomes president next week.

Off-label use "means there isn't adequate evidence that the benefits outweigh the risks to have it approved by the FDA," said Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group. Companies may use off-label promotion "as a way of avoiding having the drug approved" for wider use, he said.

Giving medicines for unapproved uses is common. A doctor may prescribe an antidepressant, for example, to treat insomnia, or a cancer drug for a type of cancer beyond what is approved.

About one of five prescriptions in the United States was written to treat a condition for which the drug was not approved, according to a 2006 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The researchers said most off-label use occurs without scientific support.

Drugmakers welcomed the new FDA guidelines. Providing the studies to doctors will help "assure that medical professionals receive timely and accurate medical information prior to the lengthy process" of securing FDA approval for wider use, said Ken Johnson, a spokesman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.

Off-label use "can save lives, especially in practice areas where there are few effective treatments," he added.

The FDA said articles circulated by companies should come from peer-reviewed journals that require disclosure of conflicts of interest for researchers. It also encouraged companies to seek FDA approval for unapproved uses.

The guidelines also apply to medical device makers. The FDA proposed the guidelines in February 2008 and took public comments before finalizing them.

(Reporting by Lisa Richwine; editing by Derek Caney, Brian Moss, Leslie Gevirtz)


All those State AG Court actions against the "User Fee" payers for off label marketing must be having an effect, ...... if Pharma's FDA is being This blatant about it.

With Zyprexa hitting Eli Lilly for $1.4 Billion (Yahoo 10/21/08) and Risperdal (2) costing J&J a possible $1Billion in Texas alone, .... We're hoping Dr. Wolfe will be taking some serious names, ...... and kicking some serious butt.

THE DEVIL'S SEVEN-PRONG FORK

By Charlotte Iserbyt

January 13, 2007

NewsWithViews.com

Our family has seen many changes in the past year which necessitated my pulling a “Houdini act” and withdrawing from the political activist scene.

One of the changes in my life was a move from the city to the countryside … to a house overlooking the magnificent Kennebec River in Maine. This great river attracts wonderful birds, including our nation’s symbol, the Bald Eagle. They appear frequently, especially when the river freezes, swooping down onto the ice flows which provide a solid base from which they can feed. Would that our nation, whose symbol is the Bald Eagle, had similar solid constitutional support from its government thus enabling Americans to continue to live as free citizens.

The Bald Eagle, still free, is flying with both wings. The United States, no longer free, is flying with but one wing … as pilots would say “on a wing and a prayer.”

This article explains why our formerly free country is in the 21st Century flying with only one wing.

The most devastating aspect of The Fork’s use is that we victims hadn’t the foggiest idea we were being victimized, but thought, to the contrary, that the government had our best interests at heart. The government, in partnership with the “usual suspects:” the elitist, internationalist corporate sector, the tax-exempt foundations, the Federal Reserve Bank, the educational system, the controlled media, and some important religious denominations, has year after year, consistently, worked to create an environment which keeps its citizens ignorant regarding what is really going on, thereby creating the necessary citizen apathy which allows “the usual suspects” to accomplish the dismantlement of the greatest, freest, most successful nation in the history of the world. If Americans do not understand how they have been victimized by “The Seven Prong Fork,” if they do not start asking questions, and demanding answers; if they do not take action to reverse our nation’s slide into world government, they will experience, in the very near future, what George Orwell described so well in his novel 1984:

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on the human face—forever…and remember, that is forever.”

For the history of regional governance and subversion in the United States and abroad the reader can go to americandeception.com, a FREE website, which provides scanned primary research, and click on researcher/writer D. Niwa’s “hot-off-the-press” The Emerging North American Union (NAU), which includes a most useful Timeline (1921-2006); Maureen Heaton’s The Impossible Dream; and The Don Bell Reports. This website also makes available to the public, for the first time, the 4000-page transcript of the 1953 Reece and Cox Congressional Committee hearings related to the investigation of the subversive activities of the tax-exempt foundations, for which Norman Dodd served as Research Director. During a meeting in New York City in 1953 Dodd was told by Rowan Gaither, the President of the Ford Foundation, that the White House instructed the foundations “to use their grant-making power to so alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.” The foundations, especially Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Ford, concerned that the American people, to whom they owed their tax exemption, would have access to the record of these hearings, scooped up all available copies immediately after the hearings were abruptly terminated in 1954. President Eisenhower, carrying out the above treasonous directive to the foundations, signed the first agreements with the Soviet Union in 1958 at the peak of the Cold War. (Had those hearings NOT been terminated, it is unlikely Americans would be looking at the demise of their nation under the NAU, or that the virtual merger of Russia’s and the United States’ basic political, economic, cultural, educational, and law enforcement systems would have taken place over the past 48 years.)

THE DEVIL’S SEVEN PRONG FORK consists of:

Prong One: Semantic Deception, covered by George Orwell in 1984, calls for lying through the deceitful use of words. Few Americans question the innocent-sounding words/phrases such as “regionalism,” “consolidation,” “democracy” “free trade,” “public/private partnerships,” “school choice,” “base closures” “faith-based,” “freedom,” “patriot,” “security,” “prosperity,” “peace” et al. Why has no one told the American people that regionalism, be it local, county, state, national or international, is COMMUNISM? The regionalization (consolidation) of the world is quite similar to the three-stage plan outlined by Stalin at the 1936 Communist International. At that meeting, the official program proclaimed: "Dictatorship can be established only by a victory of socialism in different countries or groups of countries, after which there would be federal unions of the various groupings of these socialist countries, and the third stage would be an amalgamation of these regional federal unions into a world union of socialist nations.” What Stalin called for is taking place in front of our very eyes, with the NAU and other emerging global regional groupings, following the model of the European Union. Regionalism erases constitutional, geographical borders and in so doing does away with locally-elected officials, creating larger and larger municipal units managed by faceless, highly-trained, socialist change agent bureaucrats. A communist writer, Morris Zeitlin, admits that regionalism is communism in an article entitled “Planning is Socialism’s Trademark” published in the Communist Party’s Daily World 11/8/75. Go to deliberatedumbingdown.com where the deliberate dumbing down of America…A Chronological Paper Trail can be downloaded FREE. Zeitlin’s article is found on Page 134.

More recently, former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev confirmed Zeitlin’s comments when he, during a visit to London on March 23, 2000, referred to the emerging European (regional) Union (EU) as “the new European Soviet.” Does this not make the NAU the New American Soviet?

Regionalism has been fostered not only by the left, as would be expected, but by mainstream conservative leadership as well. I recall, at a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in the mid-seventies an exchange of views between the former editor of National Review, William Rusher, and myself. I asked “Why doesn’t the conservative media (Human Events, National Review, etc.) ever discuss regionalism? His response was: “I guess they just don’t think it’s very important.”

On December 28, 2006 Michael Medved, neoconservative writer and radio talk show host, wrote “Shame on Demagogues Exploiting ‘North American Union’”, an article which confirms what Rusher said but goes even further by actively supporting the NAU (regionalism). Medved’s article Townhall.com is a vitriolic diatribe in which he attacks concerned, well-informed and highly-respected Americans, including journalists, due to their opposition to the NAU and the highway through Texas and the Great Plains connecting the USA, Mexico, and Canada. He calls them “paranoid, lunatics, losers, crooks, cranks, demagogues and opportunists.” His hysterical ranting indicates that CNN’s Lou Dobbs and Jerome Corsi, amongst other writers, are succeeding in waking up Americans to the fact that their nation is on its way out as a Constitutional Republic unless they act quickly. Dobbs described the merger controversy this way in a recent CNN broadcast:

“For any American to think that it is acceptable for the president of the United States and…our government, to proceed without the approval of Congress or a dialogue and a debate and a public voice from the people of this country is absolutely unconscionable…What they’re doing is creating a brave new world, an Orwellian world, in which the will of the people is absolutely irrelevant.”

EARTH times.org reported 1/7/07 “’A U.S.-European economic partnership like NAFTA is critical to both regions’ economies’, new European Union President Angela Merkel of Germany says.” The late Andrew Carnegie, who, in 1886, called for “creating two nations out of one people” (return the United States to the ‘mother’ country—England) must be smiling from his grave!

Other examples (IN SOLID CAPS) of the use of deceptive words follow:

President Bush’s PATRIOT Act is probably the most unpatriotic, treasonous Act ever passed by the Congress.

President Bush’s FREEDOM (Mental Health) Initiative will eventually, if fully implemented, mandate mental health screening and services lifelong for all Americans. Anyone familiar with the history of the Soviet Union will immediately recognize this initiative’s resemblance to the Soviet Union’s use of the mental health system to incarcerate political dissidents. In 1948 Alger Hiss, Soviet agent, redefined “health” as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The international elite view those opposed to world government as “mentally sick.”

The President’s innocent-sounding FAITH-BASED Initiative is referred to in an article in The Washington Post as “communitarian.” Most dictionaries define communitarianism as a form of communism.

And one certainly could ask how the SECURITY and PROSPERITY Partnership (Canada, Mexico, and USA) is going to make us more secure or more prosperous, considering the freedom and security-destroying effects of the Real ID Act, NAFTA, CAFTA, the Office of Homeland Security and the prosperity and job-destroying (redistribution of wealth) effects of NAFTA and CAFTA.

Prong Two is the constant use of German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Hegel’s (1770-1831) Dialectic in moving persons toward predetermined goals and objectives. About thirty years ago, before I had the foggiest idea of education change agent manipulation of the community, including teachers, to get destructive immoral and non-academic programs initiated without too much flack, I unknowingly played out the dialectic method but this time in regard to doing laundry. I put my red woolen sweater in the laundry (hot water) with my husband’s white cotton shirts. The result: pink cotton shirts for my him and a red sweater the size of a wash cloth for me. The important result, as it relates to how the dialectic plays out, is that I never had to do laundry again, not for my husband, not for either of my two sons. The mandate was “Don’t give Mom your laundry!” Now, had I never wanted to do laundry again and had I understood how the use of the dialectic inevitably gets what one wants, I would have done exactly what I unknowingly did with such success.

Prong Three is the use of Gradualism (put the frog in cold water and gradually turn up the heat until the frog is dead, without having the faintest idea what happened to him.) For over 150 years we have had gradualism used on us. Richard Gardner, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and U.S. Ambassador to Italy, said in a 1968 speech “The Hard Road to World Order:” “In short, we are likely to do better by building our ‘house of world order’ from the bottom up rather than the top down. It will look like a great, ‘booming, buzzing confusion,’ to use William James’s famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, is likely to get us to world order faster than the old-fashioned frontal attack.”

Prong Four is Control of the Media. David Rockefeller, in Baden-Baden, Germany, 1991, thanked the major media for keeping secret the elitists’ plan for the world. He said:“… it would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.”

Prong Five/Endless Money Supply depends on the unconstitutional, private Federal Reserve Bank’s ability to create hundreds of billions of dollars out of thin air, when necessary. The education “industry,” for example, has been a recipient of whatever it wanted to “deliberately dumb down” and “condition” future Americans so they don’t know what is happening to them or their country. If you haven’t been taught what economic/political system you have, why would you be upset if, as is the case today, the public/private partnerships implement the corporate fascist/socialist planned economy? Your neighbor’s glazed expression when asked if he approves of the NAU or, at the local level, the consolidation of all the cities in his county (regionalism) is a good example of the damage inflicted on their brains (cognitive dissonance) by the public education system.

Prong Six relates to control of agenda of Republican and Democrat Parties, allowing only those individuals with an international socialist philosophy to be nominated and, once elected, ensuring they vote the One Party (internationalist) Line.

Prong Seven is UN control of education lifelong under the umbrella of the school district (community re-education). The late Professor Benjamin Bloom, an internationalist closely associated with UNESCO, and the father of The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, in which all teachers have been trained, said in his book All Our Children Learning: “The purpose of education and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students.” The UN and the tax-exempt foundations have created a socialist America through Skinnerian/Pavlovian behavior modification programs (animal training which bypasses the brain) and the radical change from academics to the communist/fascist polytechnical (lifelong school- to- work job quota system) being implemented today under the controversial No Child Left Behind/ No American Left Alone Act.


This writer hopes the reader will copy The Devil’s Seven Prong Fork and get it into as many of his acquaintances’ hands as possible. Our elected officials might read it and develop a new perspective on why they are voting as they are voting. Understanding the use of The Devil’s Seven-Prong Fork is the major key to victory over those who are surreptitiously robbing our children and grandchildren of their God-given freedoms, freedoms guaranteed under the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Let us all work to restore freedom to our great nation; let us work to enable the United States of America to fly again with both wings, as does the Bald Eagle, our nation’s majestic symbol of freedom.
