A Little PharmaFun...Mother's Act

There is a very interesting book called:
Selling Sickness: How the World's Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies Are Turning Us All into Patients (Hardcover)
by Ray Moynihan and Allan Cassels...

very interesting read.. It tells you who decides what we need, how much we need, what and how they can think up anything to invent a new disease, how to lower or higher thresholds to have a larger catch of the population to stuff up with new drugs.

It tells of the trials of anti depressants on large number of country people in Australia, using the results to set new standards.

Your library might carry a copy, it certainly is worth a read.

cause brain damage. I'll spare you the techical explanation. For genuine cases of depression, MAOIs are much more effective. "Situational" depression is best dealt with without pharmaceutical intervention, which alters the homeostatic mechanisms of the brain. I do research for a new york hospital off the books to counter drug rep propaganda. SSRI's are popular because the inactive molecule chain is huge, and by tweaking it you can repatent what is basically the same drug over and over again. It is one of the biggest scams of modern medicine. Do not take SSRIs unless you are suffering from real depression, which is a long term (not two weeks or a month) illness, and even then, consider more effective alternatives like counseling and should that fail, MAOIS.

Vital information regarding the Mothers Act
There are two videosabout "The Mother's Act" (S. 1375), a federal bill that is dangerous to mothers and their newborns but being promoted under the guise of ensuring that new mothers and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services….This is quuite simply, false, and the video shows exactly the effect this bill will have; it will push more mothers onto dangerous antidepressant drugs documented by the U.S. FDA to cause mania, psychosis, hallucinations, suicidal ideation and in some cases, homicidal ideation (as with the antidepressant Effexor). There is no language in the bill requiring full disclosure of the drug risks to mothers prescribed psychotropic drugs, (the most common "treatment" for mothers diagnosed with post partum depression), no language requiring mothers be given options for non-harmful treatments and real medical care other than drugs. So please watch the videos, take action

Watch one mother's story of what happened to her when she was "helped" by the same type of psychiatric intervention that this bill proposes:

You are opposed because of the damage that will be done to mothers and infants due to the treatment that will result from the legislation. There is no language in the bill warning that the psychotropic drugs prescribed for "depression" can cause damage to both mother and child and that this is a complete violation of informed consent. (Use your own words... Keep it brief, mention the bill number — S. 1375

There are so many horror stories. It occurs to me that what the pharma/medical/insurance complex are calling "preventative medicine" lately is more often than not akin to "preemptive strikes" on countries that just might pose a threat at some time. No weapons of mass destruction...and yet we leave depleted uranium, unfertile fields, destroyed infrastructure, loss of life behind. Preemptive....at what cost.

Force potentially harmful medicine on unsuspecting patients in the event they might develop mental or physical problems. Put toxins in their bodies, pollute their breast milk, possibly plant explosives in their bodies, even cause death.

NOT preventative medicine...far from it. Preemptive strikes on bodies and minds all for pharmaceutical profits...paybacks to hospitals and doctors for prescribing unneeded medicine. Do not vote for anyone until you have checked their ties to the pharmas....ever.

I got one for you all. My wife had "significant female" issues several years back and they said it was all in her mind and said she needed to go on antidepressant's because they thought she had dismorphia like symptoms. They said she needed treatment for that and would go no further with any treatment until she did. They didnt feel the lack of urinary control and very freq bladder infections was serious enough.
Several years later and several doctors later one finally believed she was having these problems, so he did an exploritory surgery and sure enough, she had to get a hysterectomy because of the progression of the problem.
Always wondered if she was actually listened to when she first started having problems if she would have required the hysterectomy.

to begin taking anti dep. drugs hours after a forced c-section. I refused and was literally sat down by my Dr. and almost battered mentally. Still refused..I believe in the freedom to choose mental health. Some days Ron Paul is the only light and there is the DP as well. It all boils down to one thing for me Families For Freedom. Down with the collective.
