Americans fed up with drug industry influence, FDA corruption, reveals remarkable Consumer Reports survey

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Most side effects go unreported, and there is currently no enforced legal requirement that doctors or drug companies report known side effects to the FDA. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, prescription drugs currently kill approximately 100,000 Americans each year. None of those deaths are accurately recorded as "death by pharmaceuticals." As mentioned earlier, 84 percent agree that advertisements should be outlawed for drugs with safety concerns.

Direct-to-consumer advertising must be banned as part of FDA reform

One more thing that needs to be addressed is the drug side effects reporting mechanism, because today there is absolutely no requirement whatsoever for doctors to report toxic side effects from prescription drugs to the FDA. In fact, there is not even a requirement for drug companies to report their information to the FDA when they learn about toxic side effects in drugs. The reporting system is 100% voluntary.

Common side effects cf long-term prednisone use at higher dosage levels include: depression, insomia, mood swings, personality changes and even psychotic behavior; high blood pressure; diabetes; peptic ulcers; acne; excessive facial hair in women; muscle cramps and weakness; thinning and weakening of the skin; osteoporosis; and susceptibility to the formation of blood clots. Unfortunately, every single one of prednisone's side effects, both short- and long-term, can occur in our bodies due to excessive Cortisol secretion.

The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World

Lynne McTaggart

Remember to frame your intention as a positive statement; rather than "I will not have side effects," say, "I will be free of side effects." BE SPECIFIC Specific intentions seem to work best. Be sure to make your intentions highly specific and directed—and the more detailed, the better. If you are trying to heal the fourth finger of your child's left hand, specify that finger and, if possible, the problem with it. State your entire intention, and include what it is you would like to change, to whom, when, and where.

Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis

Because estrogen is associated with side effects and long-term risks as well as benefits, a woman and her doctor must weigh the benefits against the risks before deciding whether to use estrogen replacement therapy. side effects of estrogen therapy may include nausea, breast discomfort, headaches, and mood swings. The possibility that estrogen might increase the risk of breast cancer has long been a concern. For women who are already at high risk, it is not recommended.

Why organized medicine wants to outlaw nutrition and turn healers into criminals

Now, I know it's a radical idea and it would have terrible side effects, such as plummeting health care costs, increased longevity, increased quality of life and happiness across the entire population. It would have all these terrible side effects; for example, we wouldn't have such violent behavior in our young adults. I don't know if society can handle these side effects; but if it can, this could be a good route to go. One more side effect would be that many corporate executives of pharmaceutical companies would find themselves out of work. That would just be terrible.

Now, in drug commercials, it's, "Side effects: Death, pancreatitis ... " and those things. But side effects like keeping your bones strong, increasing mental clarity, getting rid of candida and preventing irritable bowels are the kind of side effects we really enjoy. Mike: I'm glad you mentioned that. Nervous system health is so dramatically influenced by this kind of nutrition – green drinks and whole food concentrates. In my experience, I've seen people reverse symptoms of dementia. What have you seen? I'm curious. Dr.

"Miracle" weight loss drug Alli delivers more than you bargained for (diapers optional)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

The manufacturer of Alli actually recommends that consumers "carry an extra pair of pants" with them at all times, just in case the side effects kick in. Why not just wear diapers? Alli takers who brown their britches are the lucky ones, by the way. Imagine what happens when these side effects kick in while you're in the hot tub! Better yet, see the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7JMzDjIkVc (it's called "Hot Tub Mishap"). One mishap like that and you'll literally have to move to a new city and try to make new friends who hopefully haven't seen your video on YouTube.

Canadian Cancer Society announces national program to prevent cancer using vitamin D

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
We are monitoring the evidence and believe there is a real role for vitamin D to reduce our risk for cancer and so far there are very few side effects," the Cancer Society's Heather Logan said in a CTV News report. Actually, there are side effects: Reduced risk of diabetes, obesity, depression, mental disorders and all sorts of cancers. Vitamin D is the miracle medicine the cancer industry claims it's searching for when it asks you to donate for those "run for the cure" events. But the cure already exists, and it's available for free.

These children -- totaling 465 by the program's end -- experience serious side effects, including inability to walk, diarrhea, vomiting, swollen joints and cramps. Children's home employees are unaware that they are giving the HIV-infected children experimental drugs, rather than standard AIDS treatments (New York City ACS, Doran). (1990) The United States sends 1.7 million members of the armed forces, 22 percent of whom are African-American, to the Persian Gulf for the Gulf War ("Desert Storm").

The Gardasil vaccinations remain a grand medical experiment being performed on children because it is not yet known what the long-term side effects of the vaccination will be, nor whether the vaccinations will actually lower rates of cervical cancer as intended. 2007 Maryland's governor and public health officials, fed up with the unwillingness of over 2,000 parents to have their children vaccinated, invoke gunpoint medicine yet again by threatening the parents with arrest and up to 30 days of imprisonment if they don't submit their children to state-mandated vaccinations.

Toxic chemical triclosan commonly found in anti-bacterial soaps, toothpaste products

According to the chemical creator's website, Ciba Specialty Chemicals "invented triclosan more than 35 years ago and in this long time of application without any adverse effects it has proven itself as the 'aspirin' of the antibacterial actives -- helpful without side effects. "The popularity of triclosan is a reflection of its unique combination of efficacy against almost all types of bacteria and safety to man and nature which with the currently known substances used cannot be surmounted.

In fact, those dealing with breakouts may find that alternating their routine (such as using a disinfectant one evening and a BHA product the next) is necessary to balance the benefits with the potential side effects. But all of that doesn't mean you need new products every month—it just means you may need to use less of one item or more of another, adapting your routine flexibly according to your skin's current needs. Essential Point: Don't hold fast to the idea that your skin fits squarely into and remains only one type—it changes, and so should your skin-care routine.

Bush / Big Pharma conspiracy? White House to oppose open disclosure of clinical drug trials

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Most drugs are simply not safe, and all pharmaceuticals have unintended side effects. These drugs are released into the marketplace for the purpose of creating profit, not for the purpose of actually preventing disease or making anyone healthier. Thus, the House bill provision that would require drug companies to openly disclose the results of their clinical trials presents a real problem for Big Pharma. It's a serious threat to their information monopoly that currently allows them to sweep negative clinical trial results under the rug.

In fact, the only side effects of cherries are all beneficial: Improved cardiovascular health, nervous system protection, reversal of gout and so on. Cherries are 100% biocompatible with the human body (synthethic pharmaceuticals are not). Cherries are grown by nature and contain natural phytonutrients that your body recognizes. Pharmaceuticals on the other hand, are concocted in a laboratory and contain synthetic chemicals that are toxic to the liver, kidneys and brain. Which would you rather use as medicine? You can start using CherryFlex as natural medicine right now.

These options can have many of the same nuisance side effects of combination pills—weight gain, irritability, and depression. Progestin-only birth control pills are used by women who are breast-feeding or who have a contraindication to estrogen, such as hypertension. The injection (Depo-Provera) and the new implant (Implanon) have a lower failure rate because compliance is not required on a daily basis—only once every three months for the Depo-Provera shot and every three years for the Implanon.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation

Charles Barber
See book keywords and concepts
But in our characteristic American impatience and zeal, the drugs have been hyped beyond the limits of their ability to help most people; their efficacy with very specific populations has been overgeneralized and misapplied to treat the troubles of the masses generally and upper-middle-class angst specifically; their largely unknown mechanisms of action have been made, literally, into cartoons; and their subtleties have been ignored and side effects overlooked. Americans have swallowed it all—literally. To say that we are the most medicated nation on earth is an absurd understatement.
Starting in 1997, the FDA waived the requirement that drug makers list a detailed summary of a drug's side effects and contraindications in advertising. It became sufficient for companies to cite only a drug's major risks and provide a Web address and toll-free number where consumers could get more information. It was that modest a change in regulations that made advertising on TV possible.
Peter Kramer, for example, exults about their comparative lack of side effects in Listening to Prozac. (To reread Listening to Prozac is to realize how dated it is. It has the "gee whiz" infatuation of a first love affair. Nobody writes like that about Prozac anymore!) Also, a close reading reveals that Kramer's evidence base was the stories of about twelve patients. The appeal of the book lies in Kramer's lyrical and winning writing style and intriguing philosophical speculations, rather than any substantive empirical data. Kramer was also misinterpreted.
In a study of Zoloft with children and adolescents, 17 of 189 subjects dropped out because of side effects, which included agitation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia.131 Sleep disturbance is a particularly nettle-some issue. "There are a lot of data showing that people who sleep poorly are more likely to relapse [with depression] and that suicide risk is higher," Sussman said. Sleep problems also often require additional medication: 22 percent to 34 percent of patients taking SSRIs are also prescribed sedatives or hypnotics.
And of course nobody really knows the long-term side effects of SSRIs—that is, the impact of taking them for decades and decades. It is simply uncharted territory. Even Peter Kramer acknowledged this in a far more subdued interview a few years ago: "My worry is the lack of testing of long-term usage . . . When a medicine goes from being used by a few people to being used by hundreds of millions of people, for long periods of time, there have to be studies that look at the public health implications and the effects of long-term use ...

However, the tea tree oil had somewhat less irritating side effects. Regrettably, while tea tree oil is an option for treating blemishes, all of The Body Shop's products have less than a 1% concentration, which means they are unlikely to have an effect on breakouts. © Tea Tree Oil Daily Cleansing Wipes, for Normal, Oily or Blemished Skin ($12 for 25 wipes) initially have a lot going for them in terms of being a good option for normal to oily and/ot blemish-prone skin, but the presence of peppermint oil makes these wipes too irritating for all skin types.

Hormones can also affect breast tenderness, increase risk of blood clots, and induce an array of side effects in some women, and they are metabolized in the liver. Providing selective nutritional support, supporting breast health, and enhancing hormonal metabolism and detoxification pathways may optimize the experience of using hormonal contraception. Riboflavin deficiency may occur with long periods of oral contraceptive (OC) use.9 It may be that OCs interfere with gastrointestinal absorption or with metabolism or binding.
