Risperdal, Seroquel and Zyprexa, Montana Joins Posse, 18 States In Hot Pursuit of Antipsychotics

10 days ago, on 2/20/08 Montana saddled up in prosecutorial pursuit of both Janssen and Astrazeneca Pharmaceuticals for their wretched pursuit of profit over Life, Liberty, and Montana Citizen's continued Pursuit, of Life itself.

Montana Attorney General Mike McGrath's addition to Law Enforcement's Courtroom Roundup of these psych med killers brings the total to 18 States.

What's keeping the other 32 of you State AGs? Astrazeneca's Seroquel, Janssen's Risperdal, and Lilly's Zyprexa are pursuing, and bushwhacking, American Citizens and the World's Citizens right into graveyards all over planet earth.

Those highly laudable health consumer 'junkyard watchdogs' at ahrp.blogspot.com offer us a link to a PDF of Montana's complaint. [At the bottom of the 1st article]

In AG McGrath's complaint we find Seroquel and Risperdal "defective and unreasonably dangerous". And that their makers have engaged in deceptive and fraudulent marketing of their poisons for uses NOT approved by the FDA.

On page 12 we find This former Astrazeneca cretin - Regional Sales Director Michael Zubillaga - advising AZ's sales reps that "oncologist's offices are a bucket of money", ... from which they can "grab a handful". Page 14 has these poisons - marketed to prevent psychosis - Causing: psychosis, heart attacks, and dementia.

Seroquel grabbed Astrazeneca $3.4 Billion in 2006 and Risperdal grabbed Janssen $4.2 Billion in 2006. Need I remind you that AZ hands out $45,000 "Young Investigator Awards" to Psychiatric prescriber/researcher/whatchamacallits? Or that Janssen doles out the dough under "Fellowships" and "Continuing Medical Education" grants?

The FDA has recently proposed new guidelines favorable to Pharma which would allow Pharma to encourage Physician/Psychiatrists to peddle their Billion dollar 'rat pellets of death' for uses not yet FDA approved as peddle-able excuses to cause permanent brain and central nervous system damage in you and your kids.

The Federal Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act prohibits such 'off-label' marketing, and this off-label poison peddling has yanked AZ, Janssen, and Eli Lilly too, into Court, again and again.

The FDA's top official finds Himself under Congressional ire. FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach faces a call from Mich. Congressman Bart Stupak, to "Step Down" for demonstrating "a total lack of leadership".

US Health and Human Services oversees the FDA, and Cong. Stupak along with Cong. John Dingall also offered HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt his own slap with a threat of contempt of Congress in an Eschenbach related fiasco over Leavitt's failure to cough up subpoenaed documents regarding Eschenbach's butt-covering notes - for Congressional testimony last year - over flawed safety studies related to a killer antibiotic and blood thinner called Ketek.

Pharma has been buying, rigging and submitting it's own BS studies for decades. And given the FDA's history, we don't expect any about face from Them, or Pharma, Without a full scale Congressional and State AG by State AG roundup Of these FDA approved Snidely Whiplashes.

So pick up the phone and drop Your dime to Congressman Stupak and Congressman Dingall, and offer them Your thanks. Their phone numbers are right here under Mr. "Don't you just hate it when that happens" himself, Beetlejuice.

And if you're lucky enough to Have an AG like Mike McGrath, call and offer Him your thanks too. McGrath, Stupak and Dingall are 'Elected' officials, and they and your local newspapers need and deserve to Know, when You, the electorate, Approve of what they're doing.

Risperdal and Seroquel are nothing more than chemical 'mind handcuffs'. They don't Cure, Anything, except Pharma's financial well being, while they're 'Treating' people into becoming cripples, suicides, and killers.
