In 1997 Dr. Canadace Pert Warned Us … Yet another reminder of what Dr. Candace Pert stated years ago (TIME Oct. 20, 1997). As she came out firmly against the SSRI antidepressants calling them “monsters.” She went on to say she wished she had never been involved with their birth & development. She further encouraged…

Ann Blake-Tracy12 years ago015 mins

As usual early warnings about driving risks went unheeded. FINALLY someone has done a study to investigate the problems with antidepressants & car accidents….and it only took 25 years since the drugs were introduced to get around to someone doing it! Let’s put it on record here that I approached a group focusing on prescription…

Our most recent post was on the extreme increase in the use of antipsychotic medications – especially in children: Since 1993 use in children (who have no choice in the decision) skyrocketed by 800%, in teens by 500%, and in adults by 200%. Now a new study just out demonstrates brain damage in 75% of…

STUDY: TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANTS NEARLY DOUBLES YOUR CHANCE OF RELAPSE

Published in the journal, Frontiers of Evolutionary Psychology, (see article below) I want to thank Dee Herron for bringing this article to our attention. It is beyond “difficult” to watch medical science slowly release one tiny bit of information at a time over many years on the dangers of antidepressants which you can get in one…

“Ann Blake-Tracy HAS BOLDY GONE WHERE FEW DARE TO TREAD!”…”BEST REFERENCE FOR ANTIDEPRESSANTS”…”BOLD & INFORMATIVE”… “PRICELESS”… “WELL DOCUMENTED”… “SCIENTIFICALLY RESEARCHED”… “WONDERFUL BOOK”

For over 20 years now I have run non-stop in this battle. So I have not slowed down to look much at what is going on around me as far as who has come on board to help or how the battle is going, etc. Of course I have done a quick scan of the whole situation occasionally, but that has been about it. So, the other day in searching for something else I ran across the following statements about my book & was both pleasantly surprised & humbled by what is said here. I thought I would share this with you so that you know a little more about the book that I so often forget to even mention.

Kauffman Study – (SSRI) Drugs: More Risks Than Benefits?

Ann Blake-Tracy15 years ago255 mins

As the number of “anecdotes” exceeds 1,600—hardly a small number—the association of SSRIs with murder/suicide, often combined, must be taken seriously. The SSRI website was searched to find combined murder/suicide incidents attributed to a specific SSRI. There were three for fluvoxamine, four for citalopram, 10 each for paroxetine and sertraline, and 31 for fluoxetine. Where the studies above substantiated suicide from SSRI use, the total on the SSRI website of 48 simultaneous murder/suicide incidents associated with SSRI use ties together SSRIs and murder. Since there were about two murders per suicide, we may infer that the murder rate on SSRIs could be about 250/100,000. Since no clinical trial involving multiple homicides is ever likely to be run, no firmer evidence is likely to be found. Healy noted that much of the evidence for suicide and murder came from the efforts of journalists and lawyers.

SSRI Medications

The brain chemical these drugs increase, serotonin, is the same brain chemical that LSD, PCP and other psychedelic drugs mimic in order to produce their hallucinogenic effects. And remember that psychedelic agents are “a class of compounds with no demonstrated therapeutic use, a history of extensive abuse, and the ability to provoke psychosis.

CELEXA: Youth in India Dies During Clinical Trial

Ann Blake-Tracy15 years ago038 mins

Concerns about the ethics of clinical trials do not exist merely in the realm of speculation. The GVK exposés are not unusual. An increasing number of reports are coming to light of unethical and illegal practices that exploit people’s social and economic vulnerability, subject them to serious risks without their knowledge and consent, and do not even assure them of access to the drugs developed from the trials
