The Christmas Season: Drug Pushing Opportunity

Pharmaceutical companies look at this season as the time of opportunity for recruiting new guinea pigs for their drug trials. The holidays are a time for families to visit and celebrate together, but, for some, it can be depressing as they look at a broken family, loss of a loved one, not enough money for gifts, etc. In those situations, the drug companies want us to believe that they have the only answer for those holiday blues - their little green, blue and pink pills.

Eli Lilly, for one, is most definitely taking advantage of the season -offering to one and all thier own brand of "holiday cheer"- Prozac. One evening on prime time TV during the CBS Christmas special we were forced to tolerate their "Welcome back to Prozac" commercial where we see an athletic young woman jogging through the screen to come back to Prozac. And another woman in the commercial opens her shutters to welcome the morning sun again.

The honest commercial would show an overweight woman with globs of hair falling out, who could barely catch her breath due to the severe fatigue of the post drug period along with the involuntarymuscle jerking and jumping from the electrical shocks running through her body. She would also be suffering the severe panic and anxiety attacks that come with withdrawal as she then drags herself back to the Prozac bottle! After all, it is the serious delayed withdrawal with its terrible bouts of rebound depression caused by the drugs that brings the large majority of users back to Prozac or any of the other drugs in the Prozac family of antidepressants.

Then the other woman who opens her shutters would be welcoming the late afternoon sun, rather than the morning sun, as she would not be able to get up before noon due to the total upheaval in her sleep patterns. She would also be covering her eyes from the sun due to pain the light would cause - a result of the elevated serotonin levels she is left to deal with after her first round of Prozac.

Just last month an ad ran in our papers here in Salt Lake City (better known as "Prozacopolis" or the "Prozac laboratory" due to our extremely high use of these drugs here) asking for elderly guinea pigs. The caption above the photo of an elderly oriental woman read in big bold print "EARN MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS!" They were offering $750 to those 65 - 85 years of age (most on a fixed income who could certainly use an extra $750 for Christmas) to take Prozac for 42 days.

The ad stated that there was no need for these volunteers to be depressed, but they needed to be healthy in order to take part in the study. There was no warning at all that these volunteers would most likely need to use the $750 for burial expenses or for a drug withdrawal clinic to help them off the drug. And there was no hint that they might need the extra $750 for additional Prozac to ward off the terrible withdrawal symptoms.

The drug companies are definitely targeting the weakest among us - the elderly and the children. Both are far more vulnerable to the effects ofdrugs as the metabolism is weaker in both plus the children have systems that are yet developing. US News and World Report recently published an article on what is going on with children in the testing of these drugs and the why behind the testing - extended patents of these drugs bringing in MILLION$ for the drug companies. See it below. Note that the magazine is protecting their advertising dollars by soft pedaling the most horrific drug disaster this world has ever faced - the mass drugging of helpless children with these very powerful mind-alterning drugs.

How many more mass shootings do we need to witness? How many more must die to awaken us to the terrible position we are in as a result of these drugs? The horrors of medical "research" are indelibly etched in one's mind with a visit to Auschwitz or Dachau. The picture of one man grasping his head with both hands as he screamed out in pain was enough to send me running out of Dachau as fast as possible and swearing never to return. The emotions and memory of that experience will be with me forever. The difference here is that Hitler did not have mass media to entice people through flowery ads to come to the camps "drug clinics" willingly to undergo "treatment" and the human guinea pigs were not offered money to participate in his horrific medical research projects.

If using the most helpless and dependent upon us as guinea pigs does not incur the wrath of God as we have never seen before, I do not know what will. Surely this must serve as a wake up call to the terrible state of our society. If it does not, we are not worth saving as a world, as a country, or as a people.

A pharmacist who has witnessed many of his customers end up with criminal charges after using SSRI antidepressants stated to me only a few months ago that he fears that in the next 10 to 20 years we will see thousands of "little Hitlers" running around as a result of our use of these drugs on our children. He then pleaded with me, "Please tell me that you and I are not the only ones who see this !"

I urge you to not sit back in silence a moment longer. There is not a family in our country that has not been adversely affected in some way by these drugs at this point. Escaping this mass drugging of our population is impossible in our world today. We are all surrounded by it and must address such a serious assault on life as we know it. If you have not yet done so, please contact local radio stations, television stations, newspapers, government officials, police and firemen who have to deal with the end result of these drugs, and give them our website as a reference. Ask them to have one of our directors on as a guest on a show to discuss this issue. Then warn your own families, friends and neighbors before you are faced with a death you that you might have been able to prevent by sharing this information. Stop worrying about how someone will react to your message. Think of how you will feel knowing that you did nothing to save a life or several lives that are now gone as a result of these drugs.

We cannot stand by and watch this happen any longer - especially at this time of year. I know of no greater gift we can give this Christmas season than one of truth and life and health and peace of mind - a life free of these drugs.
