FDA Approves Depressant Drug For The Annoyingly Cheerful

It's OK! Your health insurance pays for it

Anyone notice how every pharmaceutical that makes a claim to control something seems to cause opposite and worse side effects. Anti-depressants for example, often have warnings about causing suicidality. Here�s a warning from one label: �Antidepressants can increase suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children, teens, and young adults. Suicide is a known risk of depression and some other psychiatric disorders.� Suicidality? Wait. Aren�t anti depressants supposed to stop depression? Hello! FDA warning video 

(be patient it takes a little bit to load)

But, that�s ok, because your health insurance pays for it.

It�s long been known that a B₁₂ deficiency can cause depression. It�s also been shown that a lack of amino acids can cause anxiety disorders among other things such as heart fibrillations. So, if one takes B₁₂ and/or amino acids they might see some relief. (Of course, we can�t say cure because legally only drugs cure, which is really odd since no drug ever cured anything.)

Bone loss drugs often cause�well, bone loss. Fosamax, one of my all time �favorite� drugs causes osteo necrosis or rapid irreversible bone death. In fact, Merck just lost a suit for $8 million for just that. The woman who won the suit can look forward to years of appeals and will probably die long before she sees one penny. Of course, the lawyers still get paid. See the article here.

But, that�s ok, because your health insurance pays for it.

The truth is, balancing hormones and getting plenty of sunlight will also decrease bone loss. Both are cheap. Heck, sunlight is the most inexpensive and doesn�t require a prescription from God.

Statin drugs lower cholesterol because cholesterol causes heart attacks. Disregard the fact that every study shows that artificially lowering cholesterol with statin drugs is more likely to cause heart attacks than prevent them. The issue is not cholesterol (which your body creates to protect your cardiovascular system), the issue is actually homocysteine. Indeed, statins strip CoQ10 from your body endangering your cardiovascular system, your muscle tissue and more.

But, that�s ok, because your health insurance pays for it.

Keeping cholesterol LDL�s and HDL�s in balance by raising fiber in one�s diet to acceptable levels (45+ grams per day) will help. But, again only drugs can prevent anything like good health.

Warfarin thins your blood so you don�t have a stroke. Of course, over time you�ll bleed to death from pharmaceutical induced hemophylia.

But, this is all ok, because your insurance pays for it.

I guess I am on my monthly �Oh my Gosh!� rampage because I keep wondering when we are going to get true healthcare reform. You remember that little thing President Obama pushed through? They did not reform healthcare, Congress reformed how we are going to pay for more of the same. This is where the U.S. economy will fall off the cliff after the law takes effect in 2014 which is really ok since we all know that a.) Obama won�t be in office then and) b.The Mayan calendar predicts 2012 is the end of a cycle.

Many prostitutes ply their trade because they have a drug problem and I don�t put much yardage between politicians and the ladies of the evening. The only difference is we know what prostitutes do for a living. We just haven�t figured out what Congressmen do for a living except create chaos, pure and simple. Our government is rife with lawyers who are really nothing more than prostitutes who sell their souls for 30 pieces of silver�sometime less. They�re just a little more costly in the long run. Make that a lot more costly.

They pass laws that allow (make that encourage) drug companies to legally jeopardize people�s health under the name of �healthcare� and we buy it�literally. Heck, we even subsidize it! We bought into the war on poverty in the mid 60�s and Medicare, which our children can no longer afford. We still have the poor. In fact, poverty is worse. But, we do have drugs folks and I know this may come as a shock, but drugs don�t cure anything. Never have. Never will. But, that�s ok, because your health insurance pays for it.

What I find interesting is that according to the law (lawyers again) only a drug can cure anything even though drugs don�t. Finding cures for disease is the antithesis of the very purpose of corporate values. I really would like someone to write and tell me what has been cured over the last 50 years or so. Diabetes? Cancer? Epilepsy? Colds? Flu?

Am I seeing a pattern here? Let�s see, insurance companies, drug companies and lawyers.

Truthfully, we�d be much better off without lawyers especially those in Congress. Did you know a brawl ensued in the Continental Congress when one member from Pennsylvania called John Hancock a lawyer?

Without the chaos created by lawyers, we might actually have to solve problems without lawsuits. We need tort reform not healthcare reform. Sadly, the very people who can reform won�t because they�d be out of work.
