Striking Rise in Suicide Among Middle School Students.

New studies have indicated that the suicide rate has doubled from 2007-2014 with students 10-14. This makes suicide by middle schooler’s greater than car crashes. According to researchers this rise is due to fear of terrorism, economic uncertainty, and pressure academically at school, as well as, bullying. Now we are sure they never looked at the mass proliferation of anti-depressants, and they never investigated how many students committed suicide and how many were on psychotropic drugs.
There has always been economic uncertainty, World Wars and a Vietnam War, as well as, bullying in school and academic pressure. The world has not changed much the past fifty years. What has changed is the mass distribution and prescriptions of psych drugs.
These researchers have doubled down on the issue of social media as a large factor in suicides. These researchers say that 10-14 year olds and younger have not developed the coping skills. Well children in the 50’s, 60’, 70’s and 80’s somehow had coping skills. What has changed?
Psych drugs has changed the landscape. Psych drugs kill, and they don’t cure anyone of depression. They cause depression to continue, and they cause suicides. End psychiatry, and medical doctors from distributing these drugs like candy and you will see a massive drop in suicides.

Youtuber Stevie Ryan Commits Suicide headline Reads

It should read Stevie Ryan was influence by psychotropic drugs. A celebrity in her own right who was only 33 committed suicide. She was most recently quoted on a podcast about depression in a discussion regarding her grandfather who died recently.
She is quoted as saying: “I’m just worried that this is going to send me into a deeper depression,” Additionally, Ryan and co-host Kristen Carney also discussed suicide.
We don’t know the full details of the podcast, but this is reminiscent of psychotropic drugs. She indicated in the podcast of her depression. So was she on a psych drugs which triggered her to take her own life. Unfortunately, that is a side effect of psych drugs. Psych drugs take the young one by one and the pharmaceutical companies get away with all of it as do the subscribing doctors and psychiatrist.
We will write about it, but will anybody do something about this lunacy?

Ashton Sach’s Pleads Guilty to Killing his Parents.

Ashton Sachs, the California man accused of murdering his parents while they slept and trying to kill two younger siblings in 2014 when he was 19, abruptly pleaded guilty to murder on last month. He will spend the remainder of his life in prison.
Sachs shot his parents in their bedroom in San Juan Capistrano, Ca. He then shot his 8 year old brother, who is now paralyzed from the waist down. He tried to shoot his teenage sister,but she was unharmed.
He later blamed his parents for loving his brother and sister more, and he blamed them for his depression. He had previously attempted suicide. He will be sentenced Oct 14th. He should have blamed the pharmaceutical company, or his doctor or psychiatrist.
This is a clear sign of psychotropic drugs. We don’t have a toxicology report, but anyone attempting suicide today is placed on psych drugs. Will pharma plead guilty with the doctor or psychiatrist who prescribed the drugs? No never, not in this society. Two parents would be alive today and one teenage boy would have the use of his legs if not for psych drugs.
One more sad story in a long, long list of death brought on by Pharma and psychiatric drugs distributors.

Another High Profile Police Case: Sandra Bland Arrested and on Psychotropic Drugs

This is another case involving police and a victim dying shortly thereafter. It has been disclose via some news sources that Sandra Bland was suffering from depression and PTSD. This indicates she was on some kind of psychotropic drug, but what drug we don’t know from initial reports.

Sandra Bland was arrested in Texas and was initially stopped over a minor traffic violation. There was a video taken via the police dash cam and another third party video. The video shows officer and Sandra Bland got into an argument about the traffic stop and it exculpated into an arrest. Three days later Ms. Bland asked to make a phone call from her jail cell. Two hours after that, a jail worker discovered her dead in her cell.

The coroner ruled her cause of death as a suicide by asphyxiation, yet her family insists she would never kill herself. Further investigation will ensue but we do know that psychotropic drugs have a side effect of suicide. A person will also demonstrate erratic behavior. The officer was only going to give her a warning and not even site her for the traffic violation. It appears in the video that pharma drugs may have play a role in her behavior. The side effects look to have played out in her apparent suicide. Statistics show that over 400,000 people attempt suicide in the US alone. That is almost 1% of the population.

Other recent similar high profile cases where psychotropic drugs were involved are the death of Tony Terrell Robinson Jr. In Wisconsin, and Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez in Tennessee. All involving police and some involving protest between police and victims.

Is there a connection between psychotropic drug use and suicide and erratic behavior? We see the signs in recent cases, as well as, all the campus and workplace violence shootings the last few decades.

It is not hard to connect the dots. It is not politics it is psych drugs distributed by pharmaceutical companies.

Robin Williams: A Great Loss of a Great Talent

The press representative for Robin Williams indicated he died Aug 11th and "has been battling severe depression of late."
Robin Williams was a very talented actor, and comedian. He played to Sold Out shows, was awarded, honored cheered and brought a smile and laughter to millions throughout his long career.

He was suffering from severe depression, which unfortunately means he has used or was using antidepressant drugs. A side of effect of antidepressants, and psychotropic drugs is suicide. Unfortunately, the subscribing doctor, or psychiatrist and pharmaceutical firm will go on with subscribing with impunity.

The world has lost a great talent, and the world will continue to lose talented people young and old due to pharmaceutical drugs, yet nothing will be done about it.

So long Robin Williams, you will be missed.

More Data Regarding Suicide and Chantix

The Food and Drug Administration has received information about numerous serious problems with Chantix, including suicidal thoughts and ideation, homicidal ideations, and hallucinations. The FDA received reports of 37 suicides and 491 cases in which people had suicidal thoughts. If history is any guide, the actual incidences are often more than 10 times what the FDA reports. In other words, these numbers are probably just the tip of the iceberg. Still, there is no indication from Pfizer that there will be a recall of Chantix.
Pfizer released the drug without any warning regarding these potential side effects. By January of 2008, the reports of psychological side effects, most notably suicidal actions and ideations, reached a critical mass and Pfizer added a warning to the label of Chantix about the potential risks of suicidal behavior and depression. This warning followed a November 2007 update to Chantix's "post-marketing experience" section which stated that there had been reports of depression, agitation, and suicidal behavior and ideation in patients on Chantix. The FDA now says it is "increasingly likely" that there is an association between Chantix and suicidal thoughts, actual suicide, depression and other psychiatric symptoms.

Bad Science: Antidepressants Found to Lower Serotonin Levels and Increases Suicide Rates, Yet they are Marketed to Increase “The Feel Good Chemical"

Dr. Rene Hen is a professor of pharmacology at the Departments of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Columbia University. She conducted a study on serotonin in mice earlier this year and it appeared in the January 15 issue of the journal Neuron.
One of her major conclusions was "The more antidepressants try to increase serotonin production, the less serotonin the neurons actually produce, and behavior in mice does not change," Dr. Hen was quoted.
Other studies have shown antidepressant drugs have been connected with an increased suicide risk and aggressive behavior. Natural News reported that Dr. Hen’s study found that antidepressants decrease the amount of serotonin in many patients' brains, instead of increasing it as they are meant to. Pharmaceutical Companies feel that serotonin in the brain makes a person feel good. So BigPharma’s drugs “supposably” increases serotonin levels in a patient so they are less depressed. According to Dr. Rene Hen’s study antidepressants have the opposite effect on about half the patients. Her findings indicate that half the patients who take antidepressants produce less serotonin. So, for half of the population, these drugs would actually be making the condition worse.

So the premise for these pharmaceutical companies drug approval was to increase this feel good chemical, but it now lowers serotonin in many patients. Lower serotonin according to BigPharma results in increased suicide rates. Hence, BigPharma is responsible for suicides in potentially fifty percent of the cases. 164 million antidepressant prescriptions were distributed in 2008.

It seems very strange to us why this study was not major news. Many studies have shown that antidepressants are no better than a placebo, but this study is even more alarming. It shows that Pharmaceutical companies and the FDA have blood on their hands. Their research is inadequate, rushed, or perhaps suppressed. There is an enormous population of lab humans taking drugs that show they cause far more harm than assistance. Recent news reports shows recalls of eggs, chicken, tomato’s and spinach because of signs of salmonella and e-coli. Car companies institute recalls for brake failures and many safety issues. Drugs companies don’t appear to be held to the same standard, and the FDA can’t enforce recalls. Hence, the J&J public relations debacle on their Tylenol recall, which gets broadly publicized, but not this alarming discovery regarding suicide and antidepressants.

World Suicide Prevention Day, What Was Said and What Wasn’t

There were a number of speeches made around the world during Suicide Prevention Day, but not many indicating a connection with suicide and psychotropic drugs. This past year over eight million Americans 18 or older thought seriously about committing suicide, more than two million had a plan to commit suicide, and more than one million attempted to take their own lives. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius (pictured)spoke out on World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD), which was Sept. 10th. She of many items discussed the abominal Mental Health Parity Act, but what we couldn’t locate in her speech was that psychotropic drugs were a direct cause of suicides. According to reports on WSPD, suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people age 15 to 24, and suicide rates among young American Indians and Alaska Natives are double that. Young Latinas and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youths also have alarming rates of attempted suicide. Other reports indicate that those bereaved by suicide are seven times more likely to themselves commit suicide, as well as facing other possible negative health outcomes including substance abuse or depression.
In her speech Secretary Sebelius indicated roughly 90 percent of people who die by suicide suffered from depression or another diagnosable condition at the time of their death. Other reports indicate suicide rates are climbing in the military ranks. What was not said was any connection with suicides and psychotropic drugs.
Does the world want to prevent suicides? Why is there not a worldwide outrage with the connection of suicides and psychotropic drugs? Why is there not an outrage to the increase in distribution of antidepressants and suicide rates? It looks like black box warnings and stump speeches by government health secretaries are the extent to which they will go to investigating the connection of psychotropic drugs and increased suicide rates. Does the world really want to prevent suicides? Well start truly investigating the connection with psychotropic drugs!! If a placebo works the same or better than a drug then why use the drug, and if suicide rates have increased with antidepressants distribution then isn’t there a simple connection?

Major Drug Stores and Fish Oil Manufactures sued over PCB’s. It begs Another Question, What is in your Prescription?

A lawsuit was filed in San Francisco earlier this month against several Omega-3 Fish oil manufacturers, drugstores and vitamin producers. Reuters news reported that two plaintiffs and Mateel Environmental Justice Foundation are suing several fish oil manufacturers and pharmacies that sell the supplements over their purported PCB toxicity. They claim that their tests found high levels of PCB’s (polychlorinated biphenyls which are synthetic (human-made) chemicals produced initially over 90 years ago). They have been banned since 1979. PCBs were used so much that they are found unnaturally in the environment. All fish either in oceans, rivers or fish oil supplements contain at least trace amounts of PCBs. The EPA lists PCBs as a probable human carcinogen. PCBs have a similar chemical structure to PBDE’s, which are currently used as flame retardants in electronics, furniture, and other consumer goods, and PCBs have been found to cause tumors in laboratory animals. The chemical was designed to last a long time without breaking down, which it has accomplished. Essentially mankind has contaminated its own food supply.

According to news reports the lawsuit is based on California’s Prop. 65 which requires manufactures to inform consumers of their right to know the contents and ingredients of the products they consume. The main reason we site this news is that Omega-3 fish oil has been a natural antidepressant, and should remain to be so as with adding fresh fish to ones diet. It also is also an eye opener for consumers to know the ingredients in over the counter and especially prescription medications. Consumers need to be fully aware of the products that they buy and the side effects that they cause. More will be known as this lawsuit progresses.

As far as, prescription antidepressants more has been found out about the long-term side effects of the most common SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) antidepressants. The long-term effects include sexual dysfunction, weight gain 18-50% of the time, sleep disturbance, vivid dreams and nightmares, insomnia 18-20% of the time, lethargy and fatigue, decreased libido, tardive dyskinesia dystonia (severe body movement disorder, which is mostly permanent according to a report from Antidepressant facts. They also report possible neurological driven severe mania agitation which can lead to suicide attempts, self-harm and suicide.

Reading and learning about what’s in your pill will provide a better life. Unfortunately, the long term side effects of SSRI’s bring more pharmaceutical drug solutions to alleviate those effects, and connecting the consumer from cradle to grave to pharmaceuticals and an unhappy life. There are many alternatives to pharma drugs we urge you to take a look at those alternatives.

BigPharma’s Deceptive Plan to Include Everyone as a Antidepressant Candidate-Our Case study is Cymbalta by Eli Lilly

Firstly you need to know that Pharmaceutical company’s assessment is only a theory. They have no idea what causes depression. They have no scientific study or evidence that drugging someone will alleviate depression. Cymbalta (duloxetine HCl) is FDA approved for depression and also for general anxiety disorder and management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia. This is from a Cymbalta Ad “There are many theories about the cause of depression. One common theory is that depression is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring substances in the brain and spinal cord”.
(that is correct it is FDA approved drug based on a theory).

A typical Ad for Cymbalta try’s to include anyone with any malady as a possible effect of depression. Here is a synopsis of how Cymbalta categorizes depression.
Major depressive disorder "depression" is a serious medical condition with a variety of symptoms (they are trying to generalize). Emotional symptoms can include sadness, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, restlessness, and trouble concentrating or making decisions (this can include virtually anyone). Physical symptoms can include fatigue, lack of energy, and changes in weight (all humans) or sleep patterns (again any active person can get fatigued and lack energy). Additional symptoms of depression may include vague aches and pains (vague pains come on be serious, again generalizing), irritability, anxiety, and thoughts of death or suicide. Suicide is a known risk of depression and some other psychiatric disorders. (Here they indicate thoughts of suicide is a sign of depression, and also taking their drugs can cause suicide)
People with a family history of depression (They don’t know the cause or depressions but here they indicate depression can be genetic) may be more likely to get the disease, but anyone (including everyone here) can become depressed. Sometimes the triggers are external — for example, relationship troubles or financial problems (the planet is in a recession, that’s everyone here). At other times the disease may begin with physical illness or hormonal shifts (a normal woman’s hormonal change is depression according to Eli Lilly, how did the human race evolve). Depression also may occur without any identifiable trigger at all. (they admit here again they don’t know the cause)
The point we are trying to make is pharmaceutical companies in this case Eli Lilly-drug Cymbalta describes everyone as a candidate for their drug. Their entire plan is to put the human race on an antidepressant. Yet they have no scientific evidence for the cause of depression. Does that sound like a good plan for the human race? A placebo has been found to be as effective as antidepressants. Research the studies for yourself. In addition their drug can give children and young adults suicidal thoughts and actions.

Anti-Smoking Drugs Can Create Suicidal Thoughts and Aggressive Behavior

In January of this year, David Collins killed himself with a shotgun just three months after he began taking Chantix (varenicline) a smoking cessation drug made by Pfizer. Linda Collins who is David Collins widow has filed a lawsuit in Indianapolis against Pfizer over Chantix (Champix in other countries) its side effects and its possible failure to provide warnings to users. Mr. Collins had no prior history of mental illness, but before his suicide Mr. Collins exhibited aggression and strange behavior. More details will be divulged once the lawsuit progresses and apparently increases in size (chantixsuicidelawsuits.com). The FDA had reported thirty nine suicides and nearly five hundred cases of suicide behavior or thoughts of suicide from the use of Chantix. These suicide behaviors regarding Chantix are similar to the black box warnings that all drug companies are compelled to divulge on their antidepressant labels. Just two months ago, the FDA required Chantix (varenicline) and Zyban to carry a black box warning due to side effects including depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal actions.
Zyban made by GlaxoSmithKline involves bupropion an antidepressant drug which acts as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor and nicotinic antagonist. This drug is cross marketed as an antidepressant and smoking cessation drug. To our knowledge Chantix is not cross marketed as an antidepressant. But apparently Pfizer likes to cross market drugs legally or not. This week Pfizer settled with the Department of Justice for $2.3 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in the history of the DOJ. It resolved their criminal and civil liability arising from the illegal promotion of certain pharmaceutical products. Pfizer “off labeled” drugs for uses the FDA didn’t previously approve of. $1 billion was allocated to resolve allegations under the civil False Claims Act that Pfizer illegally promoted the drugs Bextra, Geodon an anti-psychotic drug, Zyvox, an antibiotic, and Lyrica, an anti-epileptic drug. What is worse is that Pfizer is a habitual criminal company since they have been found guilty before in a similar case.
Tony West the DOJ Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division was quoted by news releases, “Illegal conduct and fraud by pharmaceutical companies puts the public health at risk, corrupts medical decisions by health care providers, and costs the government billions of dollars”. Perhaps this massive fine will curtail Pfizer to some degree, but they will likely need at least three strikes. We think this is the beginning of more and more lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies for cross labeling, inadequate tests and warnings, and drugs that create suicidal thoughts, and aggressive behavior. Consumers need to fully perform their due diligence before taking drugs which have clear controversial effects. Chantix and Zyban have a new warning that the drug can produce suicidal thoughts and behavior. Do you want to stop smoking or stop life?

Legalized Drug Abuse-The Subscription Prescription

If you visit a hospital psychiatrist invariable after a fifteen minute visit and answering a few questions you will be prescribed Zoloft or another brand name antidepressant. You will get a hefty bill for no effort and an ever increasing need for more of Bigpharma’s pills that kill. You will not even get counseling since that takes time and effort. Prescribing a pill is far less labor intensive and a greater bang for a hospitals buck. This is the new mainstream health care system run by pharmaceutical companies as the drug pusher. It's a system that will get you in and out fast and taking an expensive pill, which you will need daily or weekly. It's convenient, and a "subscription prescription" (like phone service or magazines). You will have to resubscribe your prescription. The pharmaceutical drug may not be addictive, but it has side effects, so you will need another drug. The whole drug scheme feeds itself.

There are millions of U.S. seniors taking psychotropic drugs, antidepressants, and Alzheimer's medicines. The number of seniors taking these drugs like Zyprexa has doubled since 1996. There has been an almost 75% increase for seniors and 50% for children during this period. It is more and more because doctors prescribe psychotropic drugs as the first and often only treatment, even when they're not the optimum solution (Read On the Take by Jerome P. Kassirer M.D). Increasingly, when you see your doctor and tell them that you are suffering stress related anxiety they will hand you a prescription of Prozac, Zyprexa, Effexor or whatever the drug the pharmaceutical representative is pushing that month. You would be better off opting instead to exercise and change your diet. Diet and exercise will improve depression naturally. In addition, the side effects of these drugs are appalling.

Typically side effects for the duration of your diagnosis from your fifteen minute visit are suicide, aggressive thoughts, erectile dysfunction, lactating breasts on men, insomnia, anxiety, nightmares, panic attacks, loss of taste and feel, feeling foggy or drugged out, more depressed, bleeding from the nose, nausea, headaches, weight gain just to name a few.

Now would you prefer diet and exercise instead? Stop and think about it. Your great grandparents and grandparents survived both World Wars, and provided a future for you and without taking one pill.

Suicide and Antidepressants, what is the connection?

This subject has been debated over the last 10 yrs. or more, but we feel we need to keep the awareness of the effects of antidepressants alive. There have been recent suicides like that of Abraham Biggs using the Internet last November. The FDA has issued a Black box warning in 2004 for Pediatric Patients that are being treated with Antidepressant Medications. These were for prescriptions that they label as Major Depressive Disorders (MDD), although doctors can prescribe these drugs for other reasons outside of depression. The FDA black box warning is strictly for children, yet suicide thoughts have been found in adults also.

The FDA has noted, that the data does not clearly establish an association between the use of these drugs and increased suicidal thoughts or actions by pediatric patients. But it is not possible at this point to rule out that antidepressant don’t cause suicide.

Other independent studies found relative risks of suicidal behavior were highest among youths taking Luvox, Effexor and Paxil and lower risks among youths taking Celexa, Zoloft and Prozac. There are two FDA advisory panels who are considering whether the FDA should take action to include stronger warning labels on nine antidepressants linked to heightened suicidal tendencies among children.

There was an astounding study recently released in Sweden from 2006 where they found 52 percent of all suicides among women eighteen to eighty four were using antidepressants. The study of 377 women had filled a prescription for antidepressants within six months of their death. This is one of the most expansive studies regarding the span of age and suicides. We believe these numbers to be more reflective of the side effects of antidepressants. There are many desperate families at a loss to the reason they have lost their child to suicide. The focus should remain on these lethal psychotropic drugs. The more scrutiny, consternation, and attention paid to the effects of these drugs the more the truth become self evident.

Teenager commits suicide online with an overdose of antidepressants

News organizations are reporting that Abraham Biggs committed suicide with an overdose of Benzodiazepine an antidepressant along with other drugs used to treat depression. According to sources Benzodiazepine can cause aggression and violent outbursts, particularly when they are combined with alcohol. Paradoxical reactions may occur in any individual on commencement of therapy and initial monitoring should take into account the risk of increases in anxiety or suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately, this drug did what it is prescribed to do “suicide thoughts”.

This global broadcast is an example of the effects of these mind altering drugs. It is an outrage that these drugs continually get prescribed and the results continually are the same, mass murder and suicide. You will probably get excuses from the three headed monster the FDA, Psychiatrists, and BigPharma that antidepressants should be accompanied by counseling. You will not get any of these three taking responsibility for the lethal nature of these drugs. These SSRI’s and antidepressants are over prescribed to children and young adults, and they are the cause many mass murders (Virginia Tech and Columbine), and numerous suicides.

This young man's life was abruptly ended by a lethal dose of drugs he should have never taken and never needed. There are endless natural options to depression. A simply organic diet and exercise will improve your health and outlook at the least. Once these drugs are approved by the FDA then physicians and psychiatrist's can prescribed them for almost any malady (ADHD, Bi-Polar, Depression etc.). There are numerous books which outline the gravity of this issue. You can read ADHD Fraud by Dr. Fred Baughman Jr., America Fooled by Timothy Scott, or On The Take by Jerome Kassirer. The more you are informed the better the judgments you can make for yourself and children.

National awareness of the effects of these drugs can bring change and save lives. Hopefully the shorten life of Abraham Biggs can provide a big impression to the awareness of these drugs effects and maybe save lives of future children and young adults.
