STUDY: ANTIDEPRESSANTS DOUBLE RISK OF FEELINGS LEADING TO SUICIDE

Posted on October 13, 2016October 13, 2016 by admin

Lead researcher: Believing drugs aren’t dangerous for adults is “a potentially lethal misconception.”

A review of the clinical trials of antidepressants taken by healthy adults with no signs of a mental health disorder has found these drugs used to treat the illness actually doubled the harms related to suicide and violence. Experts working on the study said the analysis was undertaken because the harms of antidepressants, including the risk of suicide, are often explained away as if they are disease symptoms or only a problem in children. Professor Peter Gøtzsche, of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and lead author of the study, said: “While it is now generally accepted that antidepressants increase the risk of suicide and violence in children and adolescents, most people believe that these drugs are not dangerous for adults.

“This is a potentially lethal misconception.”

(Scroll down to read the full article on this research.)

After spending the past quarter of a century now specializing in adverse reactions to antidepressants I cannot agree more with this new research by Dr. Gotzsche indicating a chemically-induced increase in suicidal thinking brought on by the use of antidepressants. It is clearly chemically-induced as the patients themselves are often shocked by their own self-destructive thoughts and wonder where they are coming from.

ANTIDEPRESSANT-INDUCED REM SLEEP DISORDER

AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

Because I have focused much of my research on the impairment of sleep by antidepressants I would have liked to see more brought out on their repression of REM sleep. That in turn leads to the acting out of both murders and suicides in a dream state brought on by these medications when they chemically-induce the deadly REM Sleep Disorder. Previous research shows that 86% of those being diagnosed with this deadly sleep disorder long known to include both murder and suicide are currently taking an antidepressant. But because REM Sleep Disorder has long been known as a drug withdrawal state, we need to know how many more might be in antidepressant withdrawal at the time of the thoughts of murder or suicide. You can read more on this aspect of the drugs in our Facebook group Antidepressant-induced REM Sleep Disorder:

Antidepressants: Drugs make people ‘TWICE as likely to think about suicide’ study claims

TAKING anti-depressants could double the risk of having feelings which could lead to suicide – a controversial new study has suggested.

The review has been met with criticism of other experts

He added: “The reporting of harms in drug trials is generally poor.“Our review established that the trials did not report much about their methodology and that the reporting of adverse events was generally inadequate.”Thirteen double-blind, placebo-controlled trials were included in the review by the research team from the Nordic Cochrane Centre and the University of Copenhagen.The researchers believe that the review even ‘underestimates the harms of antidepressants’ since they had access to only the published articles for 11 of the 13 trials, rather than being able to analyse the full data held by the drug companies.

Experts said medications that do good ‘can also do harm’

Professor Gøtzsche added: “It is well documented that drug companies under-report seriously the harms of antidepressants related to suicide and violence, either by simply omittingthem from reports, by calling them something else or by committing scientific misconduct.”However, Professor Sir Simon Wessely, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and Professor of Psychological Medicine, King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, said the study ‘changes nothing’.

Medical breakthroughs: Nine of the most modern miracles

Thu, September 8, 2016

Incredible medical breakthroughs leading to promising new treatments are just around the corner. Take a look at some of the most recent discoveries.

1 of 10

A ‘game-changing’ new drug for Alzheimer’s disease is to be trialled. It works by removing the build-up of the protein amyloid in the brain, which slows the decline in memory and thinking skills in people with the disease

$Breakthrough stem cell jab could save millions from osteoporosis bone fracture misery. Once injected, the bone mineral dissolves to strengthen the area and the stem cells are dispersed to help regenerate bone and tissue$

A test for early-stage Parkinson's disease could help medics diagnose the disease earlier. Trials on a small group of people have revealed a molecule linked to the brain condition can be detected in samples of spinal fluid

Diabetics may no longer need to inject themselves with insulin after the planned introduction of a new pill. The makers say it could be available within three years

Zika virus: Scientists have made a major breakthrough as they develop a vaccine that protects mice

The ‘Achilles heel’ of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) has been discovered by scientists - who have also found drugs to successfully target this weakness and eradicate the disease in mice

“This paper shows that antidepressants have side effects such as odd dreams, nervousness and shaking. This is very familiar to most, if not all, clinicians.”But importantly, no data presented in the paper supports extrapolating from these side-effects to self-harm and violence.“The strongest conclusion one can draw from this data is to say that some symptoms such as agitation occur in depression itself and in response to antidepressants, and that sometimes these symptoms are also experienced by people who go on to commit acts of violence or self-harm.“Overall, medications used in any branch of medicine that do good can also do harm. The same applies in psychiatry.“Current evidence from large scale studies continues to show that for antidepressants the benefits outweigh the risks. If the evidence changes then so will our advice, but this study changes nothing.”

Depression

Experts said the study only identified ’emergent harms’ associated with suicide

Dr David Christmas, Member of the Psychopharmacology Committee, Royal College of Psychiatrists and Consultant Psychiatrist in The Advanced Interventions Service, Dundee, said the study is not suitable to answer the questions researchers wanted to ask.

He said: “Most of the trials reported varied in the type of drug used, the dose, duration and the mechanisms of reporting harms.

“Importantly, the study only identified emergent harms that are associated (directly or indirectly) with suicide and violence.

“It didn’t identify a higher rate of these outcomes from the studies they used.”

The study was published today by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.

History of Mental Illness: Elderly Man Sets Self on Fire, Rams Car Into Police Station

Posted on July 21, 2016July 21, 2016 by admin

A MAN after he set himself on fire drove his flaming vehicle filled with gas bombs into the Merrylands police station’s underground carpark. No one else was injured in the car-bomb attack when the man rammed the vehicle into the carpark about 7pm. Amazingly he survived and is in custody.

At least it appears that police officers in Australia recognize insanity when they see it instead of jumping on the terrorist bandwagon!!! “It is understood he is well-known to police, but has no known links to terror groups.”

…”Assistant Commissioner Denis Clifford said although they do not believe he has any links to terror groups, they are “keeping an open mind” throughout the investigation.

“Initial inquiries suggest there are no links to any groups,” he said.

It is absolutely amazing that the bombs did not go off and this man survived! Elevated serotonin has long been associated with pyromania (fire starting). If on one of these drugs, and with a history of mental illness it would be an even bigger miracle if he had not been given either an antidepressant or an atypical antipsychotic which both increase levels of serotonin, he and his family deserve to know the truth about what really happened to him!

DIABETES? OFF INSULIN IN ONLY ONE MONTH!!! (VIDEO)

Posted on July 18, 2016July 18, 2016 by admin

AN EXCELLENT VIDEO EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH!

I am sure you have all heard the insulin excuse used for a reason to continue to take antidepressants for years. “Would you have someone stop taking insulin?” Keep in mind that this story came from Eli Lilly, the makers of Prozac AND the largest distributor of insulin. As a result they are making lots and lots and lots of money because the longer you stay on an antidepressant the greater the chances are that you will develop diabetis as a side effect and think you then will need insulin for life. So this is one piece of information you really need in your arsenal of responses to this argument which I have waited far too long to find a minute to share with you.

THE TREE OF LIFE CENTER & DR. GABRIEL COUSINS

The Tree of Life Center US was set up by Dr. Gabriel Cousins, a psychiatrist from back East. In my opinion Dr. Cousins is one of the most brilliant healers of our day! I have followed his work for years. He is also among the first medical professionals to order a copy of my book on antidepressants, Prozac: Panacea or Pandora?, when it first came out in the mid 90’s

With current conditions…

… the huge increase of sugar consumption jumping from 5 pounds per person per year in the early 1900’s to 180 pounds per person each year currently

… so many eating so many dairy products that greatly contribute to the number of diabetics

….the high consumption of aspartame (a serotonergic chemical)

… the high consumption of serotonergic chemicals like antidepressants and many other psychiatric drugs (which drop sugar levels leading to both hypoglycemia and then diabetes)

…our nation is now inundated with those who have pancreatic damage manifesting in many varied blood sugar issues, and especially diabetes. (And if you have read my book you know I would add Anxiety, Depression and Bipolar Disorder to that list of blood sugar issues.)

I am excited that Dr. Gabriel Cousins is focusing on this issue to show people that dietary changes CAN make these people healthy again. Insulin is NOT something people have to continue taking which will only cut their lives far shorter and kill them in the end! In speaking with a friend this past week he said his father is now taking TEN medications, including antidepressants and anti seizure medications, so the father’s diabetes is so bad that he has to take a shot every time he eats! If I had to do that I would lose every meal I had just eaten because that is the way I react to needles. Why would anyone choose to live that way when less than a month at Dr. Cousin’s center can put that all behind you?

WATCH THE VIDEO OF GETTING RID OF INSULIN IN ONLY A MONTH

Please share this with all those who need to know there is hope of recovery. Contrary to what Pharma would have you believe no one NEEDS insulin! There are God given, natural ways to overcome disease! Never give up hope of finding those ways to heal yourself of anything!

MEDS? Dallas Police Shooting: Ron Paul Asking The Right Questions

Posted on July 9, 2016July 9, 2016 by admin

Once again a vet is behind violence…why so much of it among vets?…why so many suicides among vets? (Last count it was 22 per day committing suicide with those deaths going over the number killed in combat for the past seven years now.) It can all be traced right back to the mass drugging of our military and continued drugging of the vets by the VA once they return home. For years we have had reports of vets being given up to 20 drugs a day – most of them mind altering. And this has been going on for at least two and a half decades. (You can go to our database of thousands of cases like today’s shooting at www.SSRIstories.NET to find more of these mass shootings by vets all on these deadly drugs known to produce violence and suicide.)

At least one politician, Ron Paul, knows enough to ask the right questions. Had Ron Paul been elected in 2008 these drugs may have been off the market before this shooting today and before oh so many others thereby saving many lives. What a shame!

Deadly Drugs –www.SSRIstories.NET

SSRIstories.NET is a database of the cases our group at the International Coalition for Drug Awareness has gathered over the past 2 1/2 decades, including nearly every school shooter and mass shooter in the country. The question remains in all of these cases as to the level of consciousness of the perpetrator – something that is never tested in the court cases and should be. (Tragically in this case that is no longer an option.) Testing is still back in the dark ages with blood levels of drugs rather than brain waves which will detect the level of consciousness and therefore culpability. These are drugs that accumulate in brain tissue at an alarming rate. Testing the blood tells us nothing about the level of toxicity.

EXCESS SEROTONIN PRODUCES EXTREME VIOLENCE

What so many were not aware of is that an increase in serotonin by an accompanying decrease in one’s ability to metabolize serotonin was long known to produce both impulsive murder and suicide. See this study out of the Southern California:

1996 – Mutant Mice May Hold Key To Human Violence – An Excess Of Serotonin.

08/11/1996 – Mutant Mice May Hold Key To Human Violence – An Excess Of Serotonin, A Chemical That Helps Regulate Mood And Mental Health, Causes Mayhem

ANTIDEPRESSANTS PRODUCE SLEEP DISORDER KNOWN TO

INCLUDE BOTH MURDER AND SUICIDE

What the world remains unaware of is the fact is that 86% of those who are diagnosed with the most deadly sleep disorder known as REM Sleep Disorder (RBD) are currently taking antidepressants. REM Sleep Disorder is a condition in which there is no paralysis during sleep thus allowing the patient to act out the dreams or nightmares they are having. Tragically 80% of those going into this sleep disorder hurt themselves or others including both murder and suicide as a result.

This is possibly the most deadly of all reactions one can have to antidepressants. Even more frightening though is to learn that before the introduction of the SSRI antidepressants RBD was known mainly as a drug withdrawal effect. Thus the chances of going into this dangerous reaction should be expected to increase as one goes into withdrawal. This is why it is so important to avoid as much of the withdrawal effects as possible by tapering off the antidepressant very, very slowly. Feel free to join us on Facebook to learn more about this disorder on our Antidepressant-induced REM Sleep Disorder group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/106704639660883/

URGENT TODAY!!! STOP HR 2646: “Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis!!!!!

Posted on July 6, 2016July 6, 2016 by admin

Baby With His Safe and Effective Antidepressants

Although it is rare that I send information out from another group, in this instance I believe this is such a critical subject and such a tragic situation worldwide currently that MUST be not only addressed but must be stopped dead in its tracks! The drugging of infants and toddlers with mind altering medications! Within the past couple of weeks I have seen the most recent stats out of New Zealand forwarded region by region. And what I found the most shocking was the HUGE jump in the use of mind altering medications among this young age group!!!! They went from double to ten times an increase in numbers depending upon the region!

This bill being voted on today could do that same here in America. There is no valid excuse for this drugging of infants! It needs to stop! The summer of 1998 I wrote an article titled, The Next Generation Medical Guinea Pigs–Our Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil Babies, which ran in both of the major newspapers in Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News because this insane prescribing of these drugs to infants and toddlers began there in the early 90’s. That article from nearly two decades ago can be found on our website at the following link: http://www.drugawareness.org/ssri-babies/

LIST OF CONGRESSIONAL COSPONSORS FOR THIS BILL

Here is a list of Congressional cosponsors of the bill state by state who likely have no idea whatsoever what it is they are actually supporting. It would be a good idea to contact all of them to wake them up to what these drugs are doing to our society and our future: https://www.congress.gov/…/house-bill/2646/cosponsors

PLEASE CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN TODAY BEFORE VOTE THIS AFTERNOON

As you may know, a highly controversial bill, HR 2646: “Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis” is going to the House of Representative floor for a vote, tomorrow, July 6^thand 1:30 pm Eastern Time.

The entire bill is designed to benefit the mental health industry, and not the general public. Given the late notice on this bill going to the floor, we are asking all supporters to email their Congressional Representatives on just one major flaw of a massively flawed bill, the section focusing on labeling and drugging children.

Specifically, HR 2646: “Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis”

Includes a section that focuses on increasing mental health treatment for infants and young children birth to 5 years of age.

The bill provides grants to train pediatric primary care providers to identify, diagnose, treat, and refer children with mental illness (there are no objective medical tests to diagnose any mental illness) and to develop programs for infants and children under 5 years of age who are at risk of developing a mental illness, show early signs of mental illness, or have been diagnosed with a mental illness.

Subtitle C, Sec. 399Z-2 “Infants and Early Childhood Mental Health Promotion, Intervention, and Treatment” provides for a statewide network of psychiatrists to provide “telehealth” consultations to pediatricians. This is dangerous, given the current standard treatment in the mental health field is psychotropic drugs. Children’s brains are still developing until the age of 24.

Already in the U.S., 1 million infants and young children birth to 5 years of age in America are on a psychotropic drug, according to the latest figures from IMS Health. You can view the total number of children on psychiatric drugs here with the figures from IMS Health

Please vote against HR 2646; it may do more harm than help. You can find the emails for your Congressmen herehttp://www.contactingthecongress.org/

My horrific experience with antidepressants

Posted on July 20, 2015July 20, 2015 by admin

My horrific experience with antidepressants

I am now almost 9 months on from the point that my life took a dramatic turn for the worst for trying antidepressants .

My baby was 10 weeks old , as was actually doing well where my baby was concerned – I was not suffering from post natal depression. However i was experiencing some tough times in my family , a terminally ill family member and the pending divorce of my elder brother and his wife which I felt very saddened by. On a vulnerable day , after little sleep and several emotional phone calls from my brother I felt overwhelmed so visited my doctor . I spent the entire consultation talking about my brother and his wife’s deprecation, how I felt overwhelmed by it etc . It is really important to note that I was not suicidal , I had never been suicidal in my life, I felt bonded with my baby was experiencing anxiety – however nothing compared to what I would experience once I had entered the world of antidepressants . My doctor prescribed me citalopram . I felt overwhelmed. , had two children to care for, just wanted the pain of my brothers separation to go away so I stupidly took this pill . It was by far the worst decision of my life and literally sent me on a journey to hell ….I am still on my way back .

I was not warned by my doctor of any undue side effects I.e sic ideal thoughts / paranoia. / increased anxiety ect. . I was handed a prescription and told the most common side effect was a ‘dry mouth ‘. I took this pill for 12 days ….my anxiety seemed to get worse , I started to have ‘odd thoughts about worms in food ‘ , my vision was off , I started to feel disconnected and finally on day 12 I had a major panic attack . I stopped the drug . 3 days after stopping it I woke up feeling suicidal and vomiting . I thought ‘ this must be me , this must be my illness ‘ so I went back to the doctor . The doctor then gave me a different ssri … I took it for 4 days and I did not eat or sleep during most of that time and experienced chronic anxiety , I ended up at the hospital and the drug was stopped . The next two weeks that followed my life became more terrifying , I experienced anxiety I had never known in my life. , I felt suicidal , I found myself paranoid that an old lady wanted to take my baby sitting opposite me in the doctors surgery . I was terrified and thought I must be developing post natal psychosis . I was still very ignorant to the damaging effects of these drugs and had no idea that the drugs had caused these things to happen at this point . I sought out a private psychiatrist who at the time told me I was clearly suffering from severe anxiety ( she diagnosed me with an anxiety disorder ) yet all the symptoms I was now presenting to her I had not had three weeks previously just before I took my first anti depressant pill . She prescribed me mitazapine . The next three months of my life were a terrifying hell – I experienced sucidal ideation , my anxiety increased and increased , I developed new anxieties I had never had before and experienced some odd brief hallucinations . My husband had to take nine weeks off work and I had been sent to such a place of distress I now felt disconnected with my baby . My husband and I kept contacting the psychiatrist and telling her things were worse , the general message was it was me and not the drug . Finally I saw a good doctor who said he thought it was chemical , referred me to a experienced psychiatrist who explained to me that I had experienced rebound anxiety from the ssri drugs and was essentially re medicated to treat the symptoms . He did not agree with me being given mitazapine and supported me in coming off the drug . I was on mitazapine for 6 weeks , it took me another 8 weeks to come off it , I spent that entire time in a state of terror and if it were not for my husband standing by my side I would have taken my life , I know that with certainty . I contacted an agency in the uk called Cita that specialise in this area and they counselled me through the entire process and beyond . I am now having weekly therapy and treatment for post traumatic stress .

It is beyond me how any doctor can prescribe these drugs without fully informing a patient of all risks and indeed the withdrawl process that follows . These drugs work for some people ( people I know ) but they are also very very dangerous to others . I developed symptoms on these drugs I have never before experienced in my life . I have now been free of mitazapine for 3 and a half months approximately and it has been total dedication , strength and every ounce of will power I have had to start to regain my life again .

My love and bond for my baby is back but behind that is a very deep sadness for the time I lost – therapy is helping me come to terms with this . The depression is lifting, I am regaining my confidence. , the hallucination experiences ceased when I stopped the drugs but the fear of them has remained . I am now able to do simple things like watch telly and read a book , my husband is back at work and I am back to being a full time mum . The trauma if what I went through is still very raw though. , the therapy helps as does keeping busy , a healthy lifestyle and being brave enough to face my fears every day .

I would never suggest for a second that someone should not take a medication if it helps them but please make sure you are fully informed of all the risks before you do . I still get very frightened that I may have caused my brain permanent damage however every time I see a new stage in my recovery it gives me hope this is not the case . I can understand why it takes so long to recover from these experiences and it frightens me what people do in these situations if they have no family support or recourse to funds – end their lives ? I hope in sharing my story I can help someone to recover in some way . It takes such strength but you can get better , things will improve , keep strong . I wish you well on your journey however my story finds you .

CHATTANOOGA SHOOTER: ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS, SLEEPING PILLS, MUSCLE RELAXANTS

Posted on July 20, 2015July 20, 2015 by Ann Blake-Tracy | No Comments

CHATTANOOGA SHOOTER, Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24

Thanks to our Washington state director Jay Baadsgaard for this information from the Wall Street Journal and thanks to everyone else for sending all the other clues. As if anyone should be surprised to find these drugs at this point…..

5th paragraph reads:
“Mr. Abdulazeez, who was killed Thursday by police after they said he had opened fire at two military facilities, suffered from depression for years, his family said in a statement. He had been on and off various medications, including antidepressants and sleeping pills, a family representative said. At the time of the shooting he was taking muscle relaxants for back pain resulting from his martial-arts training, the friend said.”

EXCESS SEROTONIN PRODUCES VIOLENCE

For decades I have worked to explain that the hypothesis behind antidepressants is backwards – serotonin is NOT low in depression, it is elevated instead. The research is very clear on that if anyone would bother to read it. I have 21 pages of references to that research in small print to it back up. Impairing ones’ ability to metabolize serotonin, as antidepressants are designed to do, causes massive problems which you can listent to me detail to the FDA in 2004 before the Black Box Warning for suicide was added to ALL antidepressant medications ever approved by the FDA and any they might approve in the future:

Some of the research that makes it more clear than most is that done at the University of Southern California by Dr. Jean Chen Shih on mutant mice born lacking the MAO enzyme which metabolizes serotonin:

AMERICAN ADDICT 2, The Big Lie Premieres Thursday!!! Meet Producer SASHA KNEZEV

Posted on July 12, 2015July 12, 2015 by Ann Blake-Tracy | No Comments

SASHA KNEZEV, Producer

This Thursday evening in Hollywood will be the premiere of American Addict 2, The Big Lie. In this video interview below you will meet Sasha Knezev and learn more about the movie and its focus on Pharma and the problems these drugs are producing for our society. The official trailer for the movie is posted on the front of our webpage at www.drugawareness.org if you would like to see it. And yes, I am in the movie as well.

In one section you will notice that Eric Holder pushes for “treatment” of addiction. But you need to read between the lines and remember what the standard treatment for addiction is today. Antidepressant drugs which are known to produce compulsions for alcohol and other drugs are the standard “treatment”. In giving these drugs you get them off the old medications which are now illegal drugs and no longer under patent (like LSD, PCP, Ecstasy, etc.), so that you can put them on the newer and even more addictive patented prescription money makers turning all of those suffering addiction into cash cows for Pharma.

ANTIDEPRESSANTS: Prince Charles Fights for Alternative Treatment for Depression, Chronic Pain, IBS, etc.

Posted on July 11, 2015July 11, 2015 by Ann Blake-Tracy | No Comments

Of all those in high profile positions who have suffered some of the worst antidepressant adverse reactions ever while it all remained basically unknown both to the family and the public it is Prince Charles and Princess Diana, so I am very pleased to see Charles making the statement supporting alternatives!

Prince Charles Fights for Alternative Treatments

Prince Charles wrote: “The only reason I persist in my efforts over integrated healthcare – despite waves of invective over the years from parts of the Medical and Scientific Establishments – is because I cannot bear people suffering unnecessarily when a complimentary approach could make a real difference.”

He went on to suggest illness should be treated with a “whole person approach” rather than a “reductionist focus on the particular ailment.”

He suggested alternative remedies could be used to treat “effectiveness gaps” in mainstream medicine, especially with:

musculoskeletal problems
depression
eczema
chronic pain
irritable bowel syndrome

The Truth About the Royal Divorce

I think every woman on the planet must have watched the fairy tail wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. It was beautiful and they seemed so very happy that day. So it pained me greatly to witness what happened to the entire Royal family when Princess Di was given Prozac to cope with Postpartum Depression.

Here is the official drug company version of what happened to Diana which is straight from their front group – NAMI’s website [see this to learn the drug industry/NAMI connection: http://www.drugawareness.org/senator-grassleys-probe-discovered-nami-is-funded-81-by-pharmaceuticals/] where they blame everything on the so called “mental illnesses” Diana suffered which they are actually causing with their antidepressants. How sad and tragic the entire situation was for Charles, Diana, and their sons who were growing up believing their births were what caused their mother so many issues rather than Prozac driving her crazy!

“… Diana suffered post-partum depression after giving birth to Prince William, which she described in an interview with the BBC in 1995.”

…Diana struggled with bulimia and self-harm, both [side effects of Prozac and other antidepressants] coping mechanisms due to the stress of her marriage, as well as the pressure of being thrust into the public eye. She was constantly hounded by the paparazzi and the details around her loveless marriage were public knowledge.

“You have so much pain inside yourself that you try and hurt yourself on the outside because you want help, but it’s the wrong help you’re asking for,” Diana said. “I was actually crying out because I wanted to get better in order to go forward and continue my duty and my role as wife, mother, Princess of Wales. [Because we have LONG called antidepressants the “Divorce Pills” Diana was being given the very thing that would destroy what her goals were: “to go forward and continue my duty and my role as wife, mother, Princess of Wales.”]

“So yes, I did inflict upon myself. I didn’t like myself, I was ashamed because I couldn’t cope with the pressures.”

“Diana’s bouts of depression, eating disorders and self-harm surrounded her with stigma. She was called unstable, attention-seeking and crazy in the press.

“(My self-harm and depression) gave everybody a wonderful new label: Diana’s unstable and Diana’s mentally unbalanced,” she told the BBC.”

[When, in fact, it was the Prozac’s increasing of serotonin levels that was making her appear crazy and to self harm. Serotonin is what LSD and PCP mimic in order to produce hallucinations and psychotic breaks. In fact the chances of psychosis with Prozac are TEN times higher than the rate of psychosis from Postpartum!]

Original article: http://www2.nami.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Not_Alone/Princess_Diana.htm

After suffering such serious reactions to Prozac as serious as throwing herself down stairs she also went on international television accusing Charles of things I am sure were a shock to him to hear. (as so many other husbands and wives of those on antidepressants have been falsely accused of everything that has happened in the lives of their mates who are taking antidepressants). The extremely vivid nightmares which patients cannot distinguish between the nightmare and reality begin to become a part of their new drug-induced reality and as Kramer points out in Listening to Prozac – the drug rewrites your history and turns “molehills into mountains” in your life – just what someone who is depressed needs, right?!

All the bulimia, self harm, false allegations, and divorce can be traced right back to Diana’s Prozac use far more than everything else it was all attributed to. So concerned was I about her with so many serious reactions coupled with the increase in adverse reactions her head injuries she must have suffered in the falls would bring on, that I feared her own use of Prozac, rather than someone else’s use of Prozac, would be the cause of her death. But thankfully Diana was also very much into alternative treatments and used essential aromatherapy oils to help her with her depression which I am sure helped to counter the negative effects of the medication. She may have also been using homeopath treatments as well.

Knowing what I know about the accusations made by those on these medications I saw right through Diana’s BBC interview and could only empathize with poor Charles since unlike most wives, she was in a position to make these allegations to the world. How much of it all was true lies to be seen, but when I have heard the exact same things repeated over and over and over again by those on antidepressants and then proven false in the end and have them recant those accusations after coming off the medications (something Diana never had a chance to do) I will stand on the side of those allegations being unfounded.

Besides that I knew something of Charles’ character because I dated an incredible young doctor from Austria who had just spent a week as the honored guest at Buckingham Palace just before I met him and we began to date. He was being honored for his work by coming to spend a week with Charles. He had nothing but good to say about him. He was extremely impressed with him as a person and with his great intellect. As well as I know this doctor I know him to have incredible insight into others and have never had any reason to doubt what he shared with me about Charles and his character.

Tragically Diana lost her life to Prozac when her driver,Henri Paul, suffered out of character compulsions for alcohol on the drug. Although described by all who knew him as a non-drinker on Prozac Henri began to drink to the point that he was treated with a medication to help him stop drinking and his blood alcohol at the time of the accident was three times the legal limit!

The compulsions for alcohol were the first thing to catch my attention with Prozac as I witnessed over and over non-drinkers becoming alcoholic almost overnight when placed on antidepressants. [You can read about the serotonin-induced alcohol compulsions here: http://www.drugawareness.org/ssris-and-alcohol/] So I called the police in Paris and told them I had no doubt that the driver was indeed on Prozac and they should check. A week later the police made the public statement that they had found that Henri Paul was on Prozac at the time of the crash. The truth is that it was Prozac that destroyed Princess Di’s life and robbed her of life itself in the end!

Learn What is in Vaccines!! Very FUNNY Section You Must Not Miss!!!

Posted on June 16, 2015June 16, 2015 by Ann Blake-Tracy | No Comments

Do you know what is in vaccines?

Why 38 shots before 1 1/2 years when as kids we only got 8 total?

If you want one of the best laughs ever but do not want to hear doctors talk about how they learned what was in vaccines, you MUST advance to 11:20 for the “Eye on the Flu Vaccine” report! TOO FUNNY!!!! And it is only about 3 minutes long. Learn what is in vaccines.

There are 38 vaccines required now by age 1 1/2 where we only got about eight total as kids! Yet I still wonder if my polio vaccine was a huge part of the reason I got cancer at such an early age since the researchers have admitted that they included the cancer virus, AIDs and SV40 in the polio vaccine. See that video below.

Hep B Vaccine

Great questions asked which I have had about the HepB vaccine from the beginning and an eye opening Congressional Hearing on the safety and Pharma influence. Excellent! Why do we give Hep B vaccines to babies when it comes from sexual contact or IV drug use?!!! How many babies do you know who have been having sex and using drugs while still in the womb?

HPV Vaccine

And the HPV vaccine being given to all young women has always scared me to death! It is so incredibly dangerous and really frightening due to the very serious adverse reactions including death! Click this link to view the video and get the laugh on that Eye on the Flu Vaccine section! LOL!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQsVTlMsQrI

Huge Increase in Autism – Vaccines & Antidepressants

Much of the Autism has been attributed to vaccines because that is the main difference in those being diagnosed with Autism – a huge increase in the numbers and frequency of vaccines given. But what is being ignored or given very little attention in this huge increase in Autism is the advent of the SSRI antidepressants and the large number of young mothers being encouraged to take them during pregnancy. The rate for Autism among those whose mother’s took antidepressants during pregnancy has been found to be three to four times higher than normal.

Merck’s Polio Vaccine Included Cancer, SV40 and AIDS

Video Admission by Dr Maurice Hilleman

Also not addressed in this whole debate is just what diseases may be included in those vaccines which we are not yet aware of? For instance, how many got either AIDS or cancer from their polio vaccines. Has anyone bothered to do any research on that? Just how many have died over the past seven plus decades from cancer or AIDS which came from their polio vaccines given to them as children?

You mean you did not know that those of us who got polio vaccines as children were exposed to cancer virus and AIDS from the vaccine? Well, maybe that is because if you knew it just might cut into their profits and overload them with lawsuits. This video will allow you to see the leading scientist behind the polio vaccine not only admit this, but say that once the company discovered the mistake they certainly did not make any public announcements about it. Watch these top scientists laugh about how they made the mistake of including those viruses from the green monkey in the polio vaccine. Just another big WHOOPS! in medicine and life goes on? Click link to see video:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uGWut6IRfA&feature=youtu.be]

So should we not be asking what all we might find lurking in our latest vaccines which may not be made known to us for years to come? As you listen to these people discuss this tragic mistake, which must have resulted in many deaths and much pain and suffering, and then hear them joke about it, I would hope it makes your blood boil. This will give you a general idea of how these scientists think as they use us all as guinea pigs with these various chemicals and potions. About this tragic mistake, when asked if the public was informed, this scientist said that obviously we do not do a press release when something like this happens. Of course they don’t! That is so that profits are protected and lawsuits for damages are greatly avoided.

Are We All Just Guinea Pigs?

This all reminds me of the statement by Dr. Solomon Snyder about how scientists love LSD because? Not because it had created any great beneficial effect for mankind, but because LSD had taught scientists so much about how the human brain functions in producing insanity! How many knew they were being used to teach scientists so much about the human brain? Absolutely no concern from these scientists about the lives destroyed by this drug! That was even though they knew LSD was initially introduced via Sandoz Pharmaceutical in Switzerland as a way to chemically induce insanity so that science could learn the cause of insanity. That was almost a decade and a half before Eli Lilly, the makers of Prozac, patented the synthetic version of LSD in 1956 which was then touted as a means to cure mental illness!!!! Amazing how marketing can change the color of anything from black to white, isn’t it?! And just how much are these infomercials we call “medical research” changing black to white for us today? Considering how marketing has been perfected and the public absolutely saturated with it over the past six decades since then??? Our society is clearly ripe for anything marketing can bring us!
