Hi Everyone!
I apologize for not being around recently and this will not happen anymore - don't worry I am not going anywhere :)
Well, the latest and greatest is that two of my good friends and I did a radio show in Tampa FL last night that was on the prescription drugs and the abuse of them that people and kids especially are getting into. It was very good and I enjoyed being part of it quite a bit. You can listen to it by clicking here and going onto the March 2nd show and listening to it. www.prescriptionaddictionradio.com/
It was very good to go on this show and was great to be able to speak my mind about these drugs and be free from inhibitions and just say what I know is true - That these Prescription drugs are actively destroying peoples lives and NOTHING is being done about it to show the people of the world today the truth.

I read something today from a study on Prozac and three other drugs in the same class and I want to share it with you.
"Prozac, the bestselling antidepressant taken by 40 million people worldwide, does not work and nor do similar drugs in the same class, according to a major review released today.
The study examined all available data on the drugs, including results from clinical trials that the manufacturers chose not to publish at the time. The trials compared the effect on patients taking the drugs with those given a placebo or sugar pill.
When all the data was pulled together, it appeared that patients had improved - but those on placebo improved just as much as those on the drugs.
Given these results, there seems little reason to prescribe antidepressant medication to any but the most severely depressed patients, unless alternative treatments have failed," says Kirsch. "This study raises serious issues that need to be addressed surrounding drug licensing and how drug trial data is reported"
The pattern they saw from the trial results of fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Seroxat), venlafaxine (Effexor) and nefazodone (Serzone) was consistent. "Using complete data sets (including unpublished data) and a substantially larger data set of this type than has been previously reported, we find the overall effect of new-generation antidepressant medication is below recommended criteria for clinical significance," they write.

WOW - Is this not amazing, I mean if you follow and monitor these company's closely then I guess that it is not that amazing as you would see the dirt on them all the time that somehow is pushed under the chair and never made public, BUT if you are not familiar with these company's then I am suggest you do start familiarizing yourself with these company's as they are NOT what they state and from what I can see are doing MUCH more harm then they are help.
I also saw something the other day that I was astounded by and it was the fact that Prozac is being made and marketed to ANIMALS - I read the "symptoms" that would make it a good idea to prescribe it to your animal and there were things like Drooling or panting, being active, barking, etc
No below I have listed some of the Side effects that might happen to your dog if he were to take this drug.
Side effects associated with fluoxetine (Prozac) include lethargy, panting, hyperactivity, shaking, restlessness, excessive vocalization, aggression and temporary lack of appetite. The animal may also seizure.
HELLO!!! They are the same symptoms that you are trying to "CURE" except that your beloved animal might have a seizure and die in the process... Outrageous!
Anyways these are my thoughts for today.
Later - Monty
