Red: FDA approves bird poison for MS patients

 

Clearly, the FDA has it out for people with MS. Bird brains that

they are, they just approved Ampyra, a drug to supposedly help patients

with multiple sclerosis walk faster. But here’s the catch… the drug (a

form of fampridine) is also a commonly used bird poison.

It’s nasty enough to induce seizure-like symptoms in birds to scare

them away from crops. So this next fact should come as no surprise:

Ampyra can cause seizures in HUMANS.

On top of that, the other so-far

known common side effects of the drug include relapse of

MS symptoms, insomnia, dizziness, headache, weakness, balance disorder,

back pain, and burning, tingling or itching of skin… all of which sound

very bad for someone already struggling with MS.

Keep in mind, these are the common side effects found

among the 540 patients from the clinical trials. Just 540 people.

Imagine what kind of damage it can do with 54,000 patients. Don’t be

one of them.
