As a psychiatric survivor, I know that doctors, particularly the evil witchdoctors known as "psychiatrists" (no offense to shamans, who I would trust more than these "modern medicine" quacks), are nothing but DOPE-PUSHERS. When you freak out on their dope, they blame it on your "mental illness," or your lack of "coping skills," or they call you "immature, irresponsible and spoiled (yes, one quack actually said that to me when I freaked out on Paxil). They fed me their drugs, their shock treatment and their LIES for nearly 10 years.

I had to use "medical marijuana" just to get off of the prescription "medication!" I am not proud of this and it made things so much worse, but if I hadn't made that switch at that time I would be dead. If only I'd known about Dr. Mercola's site at the time! I was told I'd have to take "medication for the rest of my life. I was completely brainwashed that I had "bipolar." I was seriously duped.

I hope nobody out there ever believes their doctor. I hope I can educate people not to trust "modern medicine." If just one person is saved from the suffering I went through, that is my revenge. (Just don't use marijuana for anything, either! It really messes up your immune system.)

I am still in protracted withdrawal from the psychiatric drugs but am getting better every day, thanks to a lot of the advice on this site. Just remember: DRUGS AND OTHER TOXINS ARE THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

Thank you!
Annette

I just found out and called the 800# on the container
for Triaminic and they informed me that they are voluntarily recalling the following medicines because of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in children:

Orange 3D Cold &Allergy Cherry (Pink)
3D Cold &Cough Berry
3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant

They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with
the lot number on the box so they can send you postage for you to send it back to them, and they will also issue you a refund. If you know of anyone else with small children,
PLEASE PASS THIS ON. THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF!

DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people are informed. They can then pass it along to their families.

To confirm these findings please take time to check the

As a healthcare professional over the years I have watched helplessly as Pharmaceuticals have degenerated into nothing more than price/demand commodities. Sure, certain drugs for certain patients are life and death choices. Yet, the manufacturer and/or shareholders seem to always be in the driver's seat. We (the patients) just get dragged along for the ride, if we are invited to ride along at all .

Doctors are barraged with sales reps. constantly, touting either new products or reformulations in efforts to improve the pharmaceutical company's bottom line. Nevermind a number of the drugs are ineffective or worthless. The sales cry from many drug companies to Doctors became:

"You give the malady a name,...We'll provide the Pill"

Sounds impersonal, doesn't it? Welcome to Capitalism at it's lowest!

Medicine is a business. The demand of the patient will be satisfied. If we as intelligent medical consumers demand that our physicians truly be healers Doctors will respond . Alternative sources of healing thrive ; people spend their own money on them . Two forces hold the balance. Drug company advertising is counterbalanced by knowledge. Dr. Mercola's web cite provides a valuable source of information. But the patient must be the driving force for change. We hold the ability to demand the best care from our health providers; but to do that we must become educated consumers. That message seems to be getting thur. The FDAS overwhelming rejection of Mercks "son of vioxx" might be sending a larger message. It really is possible to change this broken system. Educate and share knowledge constantly

Ninty - nine% of my family have already and are in the process of dieing from cancer. I talked till I was blue in the face to get them to understand how incidious it is for them to continue with the conventional method. Will and did they listen to me???? My mother and brother are falling and I do not expect them to continue to live to much longer.

My grown-up children and I are in full swing with alternative medicine, life-style, etc. What a terrible experience to have to go through, not only for the victoms, but for those that know they will servive the entire family.

I hope the FDA, sciencentist, doctors, big pharma companies, and everyone associated with this murdering for profit, will stop now.

What goes around, comes around.

The face of medicine could be changed If there was a mass refusal to except drugs from the pushers! I know many doctors that feel this way.

I know I am just dreaming to think it could happen "overnight” but the numbers are getting bigger and bigger.

I say lets sabotage Big Pharma now! When I heard that the United States and New Zealand are the only countries that allow drug commercials on TV I felt like it was time for a riot!

The patients I see are almost all from complications and problems started by drugs! (that alone should tell this country something)

I never thought I would say this but Cancer is getting to be one of the easiest things to treat! (as long as they didn’t go the Chemo route first) and Virus Infections are equally easy to treat without drugs. There are so many diseases that can be treated by whole plant medicine but one of the hardest things to do is undo pharma-drug problems!

Where are the people with torches, clubs and pitchforks when you need them?

I’ve got mine ready, lets give Big Pharma what it deserves!

You can be assured the Pfizers, Mercks, Roches, of the Big Pharma world, are already initiating other bribe methodologies, to get their harmful wares sold.

When they get caught, or outed, one place, they will merely switch tactics to alternative slick schemes.

Just today, I read an article on how Pfizer is filling their failed pipeline of new brands, by merely going out and buying out smaller and/or more innovative pharma firms...

It's just like Big Tobacco did in the 60's, 70's & 80's, when finally having to declare their products cause cancer and kill people; they merely diversified to selling more cigarettes outside the USA.

Additionally, Big Tobacco started buying up Big Food & Beverage, and proceeded to dumb it down nutritionally, also to squeeze and maximize profit, at the over all health expense/consequences to unsuspecting consumers (not protected by any Federal regulators).
