Consider All Prescription Drugs "Suspect"

Consider All Prescription Drugs "Suspect"

Today's Big Sellers May be On Tomorrows "Safety List." (too late for many who took it)


"Based on the research and information I have on June 07 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright ©2007

Regarding the FDA warnings and alerts on Avandia, I recently received the following from the Defeat Diabetes Foundation regarding the popular diabetes drug "Avandia".  
"Avandia is an insulin sensitizer. The risk factors for all insulin sensitizers (including Actos) are heart attacks, cardiovascular death, fluid retention, bone fractures, weight increase, negative effect on lipids and possible unknown effects on genes."

The newspaper accounts listed a recent study indicated there was a 43% increased risk of heart attacks on those taking the drug (28,000 in studies).

What we wish to point out here is that the FDA knew about this increased risk long ago, it has been revealed.

We also wish to remind you ALL prescription drugs have side effects.

Vioxx and the other drugs approved by the FDA that had disastrous results for years and thousands of deaths after people taking them had felt assured because they were approved by the FDA. It was years before they were finally pulled despite many clear warnings.

Keep in mind your doctor treats symptoms. He is using prescription drugs as a fast method of getting you out of his office in the allotted 15 minutes and you going away happy. you got your moneys worth because he gave you something (prescription) to fix your problem. (not cure, to cover the symptoms)
Any natural do it yourself cure, such as increasing your physical activity which can provide the same benefits and even greater benefits in reducing your risk factors for the complications of diabetes and other diseases, would take too long to sell you on (even if he was on to them) and explain and would to you. sound like work and you came here for an "easy" solution.

He gives you a pill that has side effects, you now have a new problem and you go back to the doctor next week, (business is booming and the wait is even longer) and he gives you a new prescription drug to cover the problem the last one created.

This is the chain effect and many who go in for one simple "could have cured themselves problem" wind up in a month or two taking 6 to 10 pills a day to cover all the new "health" problems created by prescription drugs..

This is the ever expanding chemical "pill" mentality your doctor was trained in and you have become conditioned to expect (isn't modern science wonderful) from your doctor.

What we are alerting you to, is this is NOT working, and instead of being the solution to your problem, wake up to the fact this is often the start and you are paying big bucks for an increase of far greater problems.

Both you and your doctor likely do not know what all total adverse affect this chemical prescription you will be ingesting will have on your overall health.

As you can see from the over 100,000 deaths admitted annually (many claim that is less then half the actual number) from prescription drugs that there are serious side affects.

Every man made chemical has some side affect on the human body. Since you are responsible for your life, you best be reading up on KNOWN side affects (at least) of what you are ingesting with the idea it is helping your health. It may well and likely is doing the exact opposite thing you are buying it for. It likely is NOT prolonging your life, it may well be shortening it significantly.

Remember, your body has an ingenious defense built up and perfected over hundreds of thousands of years of overcoming natural things that can kill you.

Your body has NO correct defense for these foreign substances and will often set off a defense trying to rid your body of them that the defense it comes up with and tries to use to rid your body of it. (inflammation) is so severe it kills you.

You will not be listed as dying from a prescription drug. You will be listed as dying of "natural" causes.

Your relatives and the medical profession attorney will feel much better knowing that.

FDA Study Said to Show Avandia Risk
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE

The government's own preliminary evaluation of the diabetes pill Avandia confirms the heart risks reported in a study earlier this week and suggests that as many as 60,000 to 100,000 heart attacks might be linked to its use since it came on the market eight years ago, a leading member of Congress said Thursday.

In a floor statement placed in the Senate record, Sen. Charles Grassley also said that safety watchdogs within the federal Food and Drug Administration "several months ago" recommended a "black box" on the drug's label - the strongest possible warning.

It is the first confirmation that the FDA's own analysis of Avandia shows a similar magnitude of heart attack risks - dangers that were first publicly raised in a medical journal report published earlier this week.

The FDA has been under fire since Monday's report came out, attacked by consumer advocates for dropping the ball on drug safety and for taking no stronger action in light of the new warning signs

Latest Update

Here is a direct cut and paste from a report on Glaxo, the Avandia maker, from http://seroxatsecrets.wordpress.com/2007/06/02/
avandia-negative-data-why-would-you-publicize-it-says-jp-garnier/

Editors Note: This Article clip is regarding a Glaxo stock dropping 12% as a result of the Avandia 43% heart study etc.
"Avandia generated $3 billion for Glaxo last year, or 7 percent of total sales, and at least $12 billion since 1999. Analysts had estimated sales of $4 billion in 2007. The medicine helps the body better use insulin to lower high blood sugar, which in excessive amounts can cause complications such as heart disease, and kidney and eye damage. Glaxo says the treatment has risks similar to other oral diabetes medicines. By 2005, the drugmaker had spent almost $200 million on advertisements advising U.S. consumers to ask their doctors about Avandia, its second best-selling product. Advertising included warnings contained in prescribing information, such as "Avandia may cause fluid retention or swelling, which can make some heart problems worse or lead to heart failure," from a 2005 television commercial.

Editors Note:
Now it is apparent not only the FDA knew about the heart damage...so did Glaxo and the doctors prescribing it. Note also, Glaxo is telling you that Avandia had risks "similar to other diabetes oral drugs," in other words claiming it apparently is no worse then other oral "diabetes medicines."
