Guest guest Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 _VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTER ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS_ (http://us.f315.mail./ym/ShowLetter?MsgId=5246_27228462_10657621_2163_8\ 061_0_9339_22626_3629132921 & Idx= 20 & YY=47628 & y5beta=yes & y5beta=yes & inc=25 & order=down & sort=date & pos=0 & view=a & hea d=b & box=Inbox#1) _http://www.drugawareness.org/_ (http://www.drugawareness.org/) " it has just been released by the media that he was taking antidepressants and having serious reactions to them " Below is a list of some of the other school shootings linked to psychiatric drugs prescribed to our children: _http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/view_press_release.php?rID=18410_ (http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/view_press_release.php?rID=18410) April 20, 1999: Columbine, Colorado: 18-year-old Eric Harris was on the antidepressant Luvox when he and his partner Dylan Klebold killed twelve classmates and a teacher before taking his own life in the bloodiest school massacre in history. The coroner confirmed that the antidepressant was in his system through toxicology reports while Dylan Klebold's autopsy was never made public. May 21, 1998, Springfield, Oregon: 15-year-old Kip Kinkel murdered his own parents and then proceeded to school where he opened fire on students in the cafeteria, killing two and wounding 22. Kinkel had been on Prozac and had undergone “anger management†classes. April 29 1999: A 14 year old boy shot two children, killing one, at W.R. Myers High School in Taber Alberta. He was student of the school who was seeing a psychiatrist who prescribed him Dexadrine just prior to the shooting. March 21, 2005: Red Lake Indian Reservation, Minnesota: 16-year-old Native American Jeff Weise, reportedly under the influence of the antidepressant Prozac, went on a shooting rampage at home and at his school, killing nine people and wounding five before committing suicide.

April 10, 2001: Wahluke, Washington: 16-year-old Cory Baadsgaard took a rifle to his high school, and held 23 classmates and a teacher hostage while on a high dose of the antidepressant Effexor. For a complete report on the relationship between psychiatry's drugs and violence go to the Citizens Commission on Human Rights web site at _http://www.cchr.org_ (http://www.cchr.org/) I included studies, publications, and a video on the dangers of psychiatric drugs, below the action information. You can help stop the shootings! Please go to _http://www.lef.org/featured-articles/consumer_alert_042707.htm_ (http://www.lef.org/featured-articles/consumer_alert_042707.htm) and click on " take action " to easily send a form letter to your Senators and Congressman opposing S.1082. The letter includes, " I want full disclosure of all clinical trials, not the watered-down pharmaceutical industry-friendly version in S.1082 that allows drug companies to hide their problems, " or write your own message. S.1082 is scheduled to go to the Senate floor for a vote on Monday, April 30th, so act now! The bill does not require full disclosure, by the pharmaceutical companies, of all their clinical trials, including the ones with negative results. “The bill [s1082] does not address the outstanding critical problem that the office responsible for post-market drug safety lacks the independence, lacks the authority to promptly identify serious health risks and take necessary steps that will protect the public. As I think we all agree, the FDA is in desperate need of major overhaul.†Then please call your Senators via the Capital Switchboard (you can leave a message on weekends) at 800-614-2803 to give your own message or: " Vote NO on S.1082- the FDA Revitalization Act! It doesn't protect us from unsafe drugs, it does the opposite! It creates a drug company inside FDA while giving FDA broad new power to attack safe dietary supplements! " The true safety reform measures for the FDA are being held up by the HELP committee _S. 468: Food and Drug Administration Safety Act of 2007_ (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-468) and _S. 467: Fair Access to Clinical Trials Act of 2007_ (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-467) . _http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-468_ (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-468) _http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-467_ (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-467) === Internation Studies and Warnings on Psychiatric Drugs since 2004 _http://www.cchr.org/index.cfm/19396_ (http://www.cchr.org/index.cfm/19396) The FDA approved updated labeling for the antidepressant Effexor XR which noted that this antidepressant can cause homicidal ideation. Following a BBC news report on antidepressants causing aggression and homicidal behavior, the British Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority advised that it had issued guidelines that children should not be given most SSRIs because clinical trial data showed an increased rate of harmful outcomes, including hostility. The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration - In a recent study involving Prozac, it said, there was an increase in adverse psychiatric events (acts and ideation [thoughts] of suicide, self-harm, aggression, violence.) The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use reaffirmed that all the latest antidepressants could cause increased suicide-related behavior and hostility in young people. The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use issued its strongest warning against child antidepressant use, stating that the drugs caused suicide attempts and thoughts, aggression, hostility, aggression, oppositional behavior and anger. Many studies also linked sudden deaths, strokes, heart attacks, hypertension, liver damage and birth defects to the drugs that are being prescribed to our children for depression, ADHD, and ADD. ==== Publications: Psychiatry and the Creation of Senseless Violence - This report from Bruce Wiseman, President CCHR U.S., includes studies on psychiatric drug side effects and withdrawal effects in creating mindless killers. Child Drugging - Psychiatry Destroying Lives - This publication is the definitive expose on the severe and irreparable damage caused to children under the guise of mental health. Included are sections on psychiatric and psychological destruction of morals, and the lethal effects of psychiatric drugs on children. === Don't miss this great video...... The Drugging of our Children (Gary Null) (SSRI drug dangers)(Columbine shooting) _http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3609599239524875493_ (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3609599239524875493) The video has lots about school shootings, and violent behavior of children on SSRI drugs, studies about the dangers and also makes the points I included below. When they are slowly weaned off the drugs and they rebuild their body with the nutrients they need, and that the drugs have depleted from their system, they become whole again. They can function again and they are so grateful to just be normal. They say over and over again, " I have my life back! " People take their child to the doctor instead of looking at what they are eating - all processed food. Teachers who understand this problem can tell who didn't eat breakfast and who had too much sugar and junk food, with no fresh fruit or vegetables. Additives in processed foods, such as colors, flavors, and sweeteners, affect their ability to concentrate and their behavior. Many allergies are because of their diets. Nutrition is a big part of it, doctors don't look into a person's diet before prescribing medication. People don't understand the importance of what you put in your body. In our current society, children are looked at as potential markets, not people that need to be cared for. One woman's son was taken away from her and she was arrested and put in jail for refusing to give him these drugs that made him feel worse and negatively affected his mood. A young woman who is now off the drugs said, " You trust the doctors and councilors and expect them to make you better, not give you the worst experience you have ever had in your life. " The drugs serve parents who are overwhelmed with the demands of work, teachers to manage their classes, and pharmaceutical companies to have souring profits. Stop the labeling. Stop the drugging, and lets talk about how to live healthy lives. Parents need to find a parenting style that matches the needs of their children. Kids get depressed for reasons. Hope does not lye in a pill. " I took him off all the drugs, within 3 weeks, he grew, he was so much healthier, he was a different child. " Discontinuation of the drugs can cause dangerous withdrawal affects. They need to be stopped on a slow basis. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
