The current emphasis by the drug companies is to help reduce mental illness by screening newborns to college students and new mothers for any symptom. This is just outright immoral and offensive to humanity.
Watch this video and think what is about to become common practice.
PS: We are moving a very wrong direction.

Adderall: Deadly Drug Treats Bogus Disease
Tuesday, March 17, 2009 by: Barbara Minton, Natural Health Editor
(NaturalNews) The drug Adderall is linked with heart attack and sudden death in children and young adults according to a newly released study at the New York Medical College of Family Medicine. This drug is commonly prescribed to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a phony disease that has been diagnosed in 15 percent of school-aged children. Although incidence of heart attack and sudden death is greater in children who take Adderall on a regular basis, it has also been associated with one-time users.
Clinical trials to establish the long term effectiveness of Adderall have not been conducted. There are no controlled studies involving children on Adderall for longer than three weeks, or involving teens and adults for longer than four weeks.
Twenty year old suffers heart attack after isolated use of Adderall
The study, published in the March-April edition of the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, reports the case of a twenty year college freshman who had been diagnosed with ADHD two years earlier and prescribed 15 mg Adderall XR to be taken daily. He had not taken the drug on any regular basis and had not taken it at all for weeks before his cardiac event. He had been staying up late studying every night and drinking a relatively small amount of alcohol before going to bed. The night before his admission to the hospital, instead of going to bed, he had taken two Adderall (30 mg) to keep himself awake to study for an exam. Later that afternoon, he developed chest pain and pressure which stayed with him and necessitated his parents taking him to an emergency room 24 hours later.
The young man's history was unremarkable except for the diagnosis of ADHD. There was no family history of cardiovascular diseases. He was not a frequent user of illicit drugs and drank alcohol only occasionally. He had no known drug allergy and took no other medications in addition to his infrequent use of Adderall. The final diagnosis was myocardial infarction secondary to amphetamine-induced coronary vasospasm. He was discharged after five days and told to avoid any drug containing amphetamine.

Confessions of a pharmacist: What Big Pharma Won't Tell You about Prescription Drug Safety (Book Review)
http://www.NaturalNews.com/025244.html
(NaturalNews) Pharmacists are walking encyclopedias of knowledge about the dangers of drugs, but most of them follow a pro-Pharma agenda, so they never reveal the deadly truth about how dangerous these drugs can really be to your health.
There's only one pharmacist I've ever met who dares to think outside the Big Pharma pill box and tell patients the truth about how they can avoid the dangerous side effects of drugs and even learn how to replace dangerous prescription drugs with safe, natural and far more affordable health supplements.
Her name? Suzy Cohen. She's the author of the new book Drug Muggers, published directly by Truth Publishing at: http://www.truthpublishing.com/product_...
In addition to being an author, Suzy Cohen is a licensed, practicing pharmacist, and she's a high-energy, super knowledgeable person who isn't afraid to buck the system and tell her customers things that drug companies wouldn't dare utter.
What kind of things? Like how prescription medications are robbing your body of essential nutrients that prevent disease and enhance your health. (Without a sufficient supply of these nutrients in your body, you eventually begin to show even more symptoms than you had when you started taking the drug in the first place!)
In her book, Suzy has documented the truth about things like how to greatly reduce your risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer with a low-cost over-the-counter dietary supplement, how to help eliminate migraine headaches with a simple vitamin and how to slash your risk of heart attacks for just pennies a day.
I've read Drug Muggers and found it to be the most valuable, uncensored prescription drug safety guide that's ever been made available to the public.
Of course, you might say I'm biased because Truth Publishing is selling this book, but that's actually my point: I'm very, very selective about the quality of the books we decide to represent at Truth Publishing. In order for us to publish a book, it must offer vital information to readers that can enhance their health and even help save their lives. And the information must be from a credible source, too.
When it comes to the uncensored truth about pharmaceuticals, it's hard to find a more credible source than Suzy Cohen, who has served tens of thousands of customers in her professional career. She knows medications inside and out, and yet she's a strong supporter of nutrition and natural health -- so she can tell you what to use instead of medications wherever possible.
But if you have to use meds, Suzy can teach you how to use them safely. It's all compiled in her book Drug Muggers, which you can get directly from the NaturalNews publishing arm (Truth Publishing) at a price that's $5 cheaper than Amazon.com. Click the following link to order it now:

More sad news about statin drugs
Please read Dr. Mercola's article on the dangers of statin drugs. In the effort to prevent heart damage, these drugs will cause muscle deteriation and kidney failure. If these side effects are continueed with long term use or increased doses, then we are just increasing the risk of heart failure and declining health. Our watch dogs at the FDA and our "scientific study" groups sure do not want us to know these facts. I am sure they are aware of them and probably have some microscopic printed warnings somewhere. As we continue to depend on the drug companies and other powers that be, we will never be a healthy population.

National Health Insurance
Here we go again. Mrs Clinton wants you and I to build the coffers of the insurance and drug companies. She wants each of to be forced to by health insurance because if we don't we are just another burden to those that do.(paraphrased quote). Mrs. Clinton tried to make our system "better" while she was the first lady in Bill's first term. What was produced was the extremely inefficent HIPPA system. Now the cost of health care has balloned due to the cost of record keeping and the inabilty to share important information between health care professionals. Just imagine what the additional cost of health insurance will do to our already struggeling familes and corporations. Please think through the hype and politcal redoric when sellection our next president.

celebrex comeback
The newest commercial on tv is now touting the risks of ibuprofen and naproxsin in the effort to promote the use of celebrex. This is a real slick presentation. Using very fine print to create pictures of places and people that can benefit from this dangerous drug. The people spinning this tale must have spent months trying to make the drug legitimate. You have to listen and read very closely that these comparisons are for the prescription doses, however they imply that even over the counter meds are more dangerous than celbrex. The mighty drugs companies are just working over time to make themselves money and us more addicted to their drug as well as keeping more people sick with this drug.

Guranteed income
Now more medication TV ads are telling us we must stay on their medication and probably some others for life to protect our hearts and health. Sure is a good way to increase bottom lines for the drug companies for life!!! Just maybe, better nutrition and exercise could build our health and our wallets.

Are we being drugged by the media?
Does any one really listen to the disclaimers of drug advertising on TV and radio or read the very very fine print about the drugs advertised in the magazines and news papers? I hear/read more complications than improvement in health issues. These commercials are not a whole lot different than the cure all potions and elixors sold off the back of a covered wagon.
Maybe if we were more and better informed about proper diet, exercise, rest and stress reduction, most of these medications would not be necessary.
