Is Your Prescription Drug Causing Your Depression?

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

depressionKelly Brogan, M.D. – Let’s face it… our current medical industry loves pills.

When you go to the doctor for any kind of discomfort with any kind of diagnosis, chances are that the doctor will write out a slip of paper and send you to the pharmacy. Every illness, every injury, every bodily inconvenience has some kind of corresponding medication for us to take. So that’s what we’ve done for the greater part of the last century. It’s tempting to think that we can be “fixed” by medication because it’s quick and easy. That’s why the United States pharmaceutical market was valued around 446 billion U.S. dollars in 2016 alone.

But the truth is that our bodies are more complex than we’ve been taught, and more importantly, we know much less than we think we do. Only recently have we started to understand how connected the gut, brain, hormones, and immune systems are. So it’s not a huge surprise that we think of our bodies as machines—that we can feed them some chemicals and they’ll run smoothly again like a car that just got an oil change. Continue reading →

Police Dept. Calls Out Big Pharma, Helps Drug Addicts Instead of Jailing

Christina Sarich – The ‘drug war’ has been raging in America for decades, costing taxpayers millions, with no real change in the number of people addicted to drugs. We have, in fact, an entire generation of ‘legal’ drug addicts. But there is hope for meaningful change in this world of drug addicts and incarcerations – in Gloucester, MA.

Instead of locking up drug addicts, this police department has a policy of helping them; even better, they are calling out the real perpetrators behind the national drug addiction problem – pharmaceutical companies. You read that correctly – instead of throwing drug addicts in jail, the force uses real solutions that work, without any force, and without bleeding taxpayers dry.

Gloucester’s police department has initiated a program dubbed the “Angel” initiative. Instead of being handed criminal charges for their drug addictions, they are offered a chance to get help. The new program has already sent nearly 200 people to drug treatment centers.

Instead of following the DEA’s war-like raids on private homes and businesses suspected of housing drug addicts, the Gloucester Police Department has realized that it isn’t ‘street’ drugs causing the problem as much as Big Pharma flooding the streets with opiates. Some addicts get their fix from their own doctor’s prescription, and others are sold on a black market, after a ‘dummy’ patient visits as many as 12 doctors’ offices and pharmacies in a day.

Same Corporations That Manufacture Vaccines Are Killing Half A Million People Annually With Deadly Psychiatric Drugs

trialsJonathan Benson – Psychiatric medications are not only useless, but they’re responsible for killing at least 500,000 people aged 65 years and older every single year. This is the shocking conclusion of a new meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) that challenges the widely held belief that antidepressants and dementia drugs are safe and effective for treating mental health issues.

Researchers from Denmark’s Nordic Cochrane Centre broke the disturbing news after poring through loads of published data on this class of drugs and finding that virtually none of it is suggestive of either safety or efficacy. To the contrary, nearly every placebo-controlled trial used by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in justifying the legal prescription of psych meds shows minimal or no benefits.

The paper revealed that virtually every randomized trial ever conducted that involved psych meds failed to properly evaluate the drugs’ effects in users. The “control” groups in these bogus studies, it turns out, were made up of folks who were previously taking other psychiatric drugs, rendering any and all findings moot. And yet these were the very studies that U.S. regulators used to approve such drugs as “safe and effective.”

“Patients, who after a short wash-out period are randomized to placebo, go ‘cold turkey’ and often experience withdrawal symptoms,” wrote the paper’s authors. “This design exaggerates the benefits of treatment and increases the harms in the placebo group, and it has driven patients taking placebo to suicide in trials in schizophrenia.”

Blatant manipulation of antidepressant clinical trials led to fake results, widespread death

In other words, the companies that produce these psych meds, and who also design the clinical trials used to “test” and approve them, are using human beings as guinea pigs in blatantly corrupt experiments posing as “science.” People are dying left and right not only from these trials, but also from the use of the drugs “tested” in these trials post-approval.

Antibiotic And Heavy Metal Contamination In Environment Contributes To Resistance Of Harmful Bacteria

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

“Very low concentrations of both heavy metals (such as arsenic) and antibiotics, either separately or in combination, were able to enrich resistant plasmid-bearing bacteria, according to the study’s results.” – J Wilson

drugAbuseLow concentrations of various pharmaceutical drugs are making their way into our water systems and soil through improper disposal, such as flushing, and through human excretion.

When people take antibiotics, or other medications, they are often passed through the urine unchanged, active and in their original state. This drug-containing urine then enters wastewater treatment facilities where it is not filtered out due to a lack of screening and the necessary equipment required to remove the drugs.

Excrement containing pharmaceutical drugs eventually ends up in the environment, which is concerning, because the environmental impacts of this process are still being uncovered and are therefore widely unknown.

However, the results of a new study published in the journal mBio sheds some light on what’s happening to these drugs and how their presence in the environment contributes to antibiotic resistance, as well as their reaction with heavy metals present in nature due to natural sources and human activities.
