Many of us knew 40 years ago about the many dangers associated with antidepressants. It was not infrequent that when inpatients being treated for depression, and were sent home with a prescription for antidepressants, this was followed-up by a call from a spouse or other family member reporting that the patient had committed suicide with the medicine. Psychiatrist Peter Breggin wrote a book entitled, "Toxic Psychiatry" that was published in 1991 in which he documented the harms of putative antidepressants, and the collusion between pharmaceutical companies, FDA, and the American Psychiatric Association in bringing them to market. Caveat emptor!
This shows the dyer importance of having to advocate for yourself. The problem with that is you need knowledge or have someone close to you to give you truthful knowledgable information, someone you can really trust.
My wife has been an OR nurse for almost 40 years. Over the time that we’ve been together at least a 100 times, probably more, she has helped people make proper decisions, most recently her mother who we both believe has been harmed by 3 COVID shots. She recently spent a week in the hospital for clotting in her spleen, serious strictures in her mesenteric artery, vasculitis and a blockage in her femoral artery. She is on Medicare and has a supplemental insurance, the bill for the week was over 70,000 dollars. Testing, testing, retesting and testing some more gave her a round of steroids which at that point my mother in law felt better and my wife questioned why were they giving it to her. It’s been 2 months and they want to keep testing her and sending her to doctor after doctor to see if she needs another round of steroids? She feels fine, it’s all about testing, appointments and dragging as much money out of Medicare as they can. After each appointment the doctor says the same thing as the last doctor and pushes her to see another specialist to confirm what the other doctors have all said and tell her she doesn’t need another round of steroids, insanity!!
They created this with the 3 mRNA shots, which they all profited on. now they’re getting as much money out of it as they can. I’m starting to think an appointment with your primary care or any doctor with a prescription pad is like getting involved in a nice game of Russian Roulette unless you have some knowledge, rightful skepticism, and the good sense to say no I’m not going to take that. J.Goodrich
Ever notice how often the word "stage" is used to describe a severity of an illness?
Now when I hear the word stage I take it literally as a whole new cast of characters,
with all new scripts, all with new roles to play, more embellished job titles, new locations with fancier office building with high end latest overpriced equipment,
very expensive cars in the Doctors only parking spaces, Etc Etc Etc!
I cannot help but see it as all theater. The Doctor will see you now! ( 2mins tops)
The price of admission of which is too high, my next script may actually be painful.
When all that's being done is a legal term "Practicing at licensed Medical Facilities".
End results possibly leading to "Stage four" registering a 10 on the inoperable meter.
Thanks!
We appreciate your business. The undertaker will see you shortly.
Even before Cov19 fiasco, I've had a very dim view of modern medicine.
Giving Vaccines thru car windows in paved parking lots is not Medical Remedy.
This type of experience is why, once the echocardiogram was reportedly normal, I excised myself from the clutches of the cardiologists. Despite my doctor's rushing me off to emergency for a heart attack. I told her I want conservative care. Would that more would be able to make their own decisions. Certainly, in your MILs situation your wife is a blessing. It does sound much more dicey.
Just 20 minutes ago she got notice of an appointment with a cardiologist. A new doctor she doesn’t know. And you’re right about it being more dicey with her. Every doctor has said the same thing my wife has said, but yet she has now 2 more appointments. It’s funny to watch the doctors face when there’s a knowledgeable advocate in the room asking extremely legitimate questions about the care of the patient. Some really resent it, others agree and back off. This is why I don’t understand when they brought Fauci in front of the House to be questioned under oath they didn’t have Dr. Malone there twisting him in knots!! It’s almost like they wanted to give him a pass!!
Having sat at the trial table during a trial, the counsel doing the questioning arrives with the questions he will ask. Anyone else at the table may pass him notes, but things need to move rapidly along. As a doctor, Paul (and ophthalmologist) likely presumes he's on top of it. Most unlikely to accept help in questioning, even were it allowed.
In the house I remember watching MarjorieTG asking questions, but I believe they have had outside specialist ask a person questions, someone thoroughly knowledgeable about vaccines, mRNA “vaccines”. I love Rand Paul and he was the best Senator to ask questions but he’s an eye doctor. Imagine someone that invented the shots and how much farther in depth he could have gone with Fauci. Dr. Malone would have handed Fauci his own head. He said at that time he was willing to do it as well.
A Midwestern Doctor has also written extensively on this subject. This is another backwards approach to mental and physical health. Is it any wonder we have mass violence so often? What has been done in the name "Do no harm" a blindfolded joke, only not very funny.
When did psychiatrists become pediatric toxicologists?
Some of them had better check the fine print of their malpractice coverage. The psychiatric industry already looks like it has an emerging problem with the practice of prescribing SSRI drugs on an outpatient basis to juveniles who apparently had issues with grandiose morbid obsession and identity psychoses.
We need to provide that insurance from the US Treasury. Our physicians literally are trustees who defend an essential aspect of our unalienable right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. They are on the front line defending these rights. Let us spread the risks and costs of this essential trustee function across the population of this nation and get the for-profit interests out of this. Then let's create an economic umbrella of income protection for the households in financial crisis from adverse medical outcomes and move the entire system from the courts to a no-fault system that immediately steps in and captures all data possible in a non-adversarial way to improve the systems and standards of care and strengthen the knowledge base on which the health of our nation's citizen and their practitioners of the medical arts depend.
The problem is that once prescribed, women have a very hard time getting off SSRIs. And they fear anxiety/depression and mood swings returning. It's very difficult for most medical professionals to admit the truth that the entire premise of SSRI efficacy is built on false assumptions and reductionist psychiatry. OBGYNs and psychiatrists tell patients they are safe, or safe until the last few weeks of pregnancy, when some say they need to be discontinued until birth. Note that this is the same medical establishment that says mRNA vaccines, flu vaccines, and chemotherapy are safe during pregnancy. Yet pregnant moms are supposed to limit consumption of fish. The fact remains that most women can't get off SSRIs once started, and the prescribing docs know that, so they put blinders on, and say they are safe.
If there is one thing that we should have learned from the terribly misguided covid policies, including the blanket administration of an insufficiently & poorly tested experimental genetic injection, is that there is no such thing as "scientific consensus" as the National Curriculum in Reproductive Psychiatry makes reference to. Scientific debate, yes. Further, how many psychiatrists & obstetricians are evaluating their patient's magnesium levels? According to Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, "magnesium is a necessary element in the release & uptake of serotonin by brain cells. With proper amounts of magnesium, nature makes sufficient serotonin & you experience emotional balance. The body needs magnesium in order to release & bind adequate amounts of serotonin in the brain for balanced mental functioning". Since magnesium resides largely in the tissues, a serum magnesium level is not appropriate. There are other tests that provide a more accurate evaluation of your magnesium level. This should be the very first thing that is evaluated before prescribing any pharmaceutical. My two cents...
Primacy of the patient and attending physician of their choosing in determining what is medically necessary for that patient is the solution. Whom else? What clerk? What non-attending medical professional? To whom should primacy be afforded in determining what is medically necessary in the clinical moment?
Yet we allow insurance and other institutional forces to usurp that primacy? There is a moment of truth that needs to be sorted at the federal level. Medical insurance providers should not have an escape, veto authority or otherwise be allowed to cherry pick or tortiously interfere with the determination of what is medically necessary for an insured patient and the attending physician of their choosing in the clinical moment.
Medical insurers get to have it both ways. That must stop. The USTreasury needs to step in and become the sole reinsurer for this species of insurance provider to control the cost of stop-loss premiums. We would essentially be underwriting our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Thus it makes sense to spread the outliers of risks and the costs across the breadth of our population via our federal treasury and return the medical insurance industry to their essential role of paying claims rather than refusing to.
This hails back to medicare. Before it made its debut medical insurance was a employee perk. Not needed by most of us. That suggests we get the govs dirty hands out of medicine we will be on the road to recovery
And in the olden days it was marketed as "Hospitalization Insurance."
Turn the government loose on the medical insurance stop-loss markets. Give the treasury the monopoly on the medical reinsurance industry, and require all medical insurers purchase their stop-loss coverage from the treasury, but proscribe them from picking and choosing what they will cover. That and ceasing to exempt hospitals from RICO and otherwise commonly unlawful commercial practices will help them sort out their mess. It's essential we liberate the physicians from their enslavement to contract obligations to non-patient third parties.
Most loss claims by insurance cos. are window dressing because they make humongous profits investing all those premium payments in very lucrative investments.
That's indeed how they underwrite and capitalize their underwriting. But the reinsurer's stop-loss coverage premium controls the premium of the insured. The reinsurers control the range of premiums charged by the primary insurers competing for the insured customer. That control needs to be removed from the private sector and transnational markets and operated in trust by our treasury. This also sets the stage for no-fault malpractice/adverse outcomes insurance. We need to get rid of the incessant litigation and save both household and physician from the tortious process of litigation. We need to capture full understanding of all adverse outcomes in a non-adversarial environment so continuous improvements to the system and knowledge base can be studied and innovated in positive ways. Criminal behavior will still be criminal. Murder by neglect will still be a thing. There are better and less tortious ways to deal with medical tragedy and error; ways that victims and their families are not immediately abandoned into worsening crises and economic catastrophe because interlopers enjoy a monopoly on a license to sue on behalf of the traumatized and often catastrophically impoverished family system whose member suffers a profound and tragic adverse medical outcome. This too needs a serious rethink.
1983 I was 28 years old and expecting my first and only child. My doctor counseled me no drugs, no tobacco, alcohol or even aspirin, maybe Tylenol but only if absolutely necessary. To say that I am shocked a doctor would prescribe SSRI’s to a pregnant woman and not know the baby would be affected is crazy. I’m not a doctor not even a person with any medical education and I knew whatever I put in my body while pregnant would most definitely affect my child. I ate extremely healthy, limited salt, walked 20-30 minutes daily, slept 8 hours a night. I was the healthiest I’d ever been.
Shame on any medical professional who places money over morals!
So help me get this straight, a glass of wine after a stressful day harms the fetus, but SSRIs and SNRIs don't. Hmmm. It seems SSRIs in adults and teens can lead to suicidal ideation and a number of other devastating problems, but don't effect a developing fetus. I guess I missed the logic.
I worried about Tylenol for a headache when I was pregnant. After my first 2 pregnancies I had postpartum depression. I took one anti depression pill. I believe it was trazodone. Didn’t like how I felt and quite. My dr had said it was my hormones getting stuck in baby blues mode and not moving to pre pregnancy mode. I was cautioned to not get pregnant for at least 8 years as it can start to get worse with each birth. Well number 3 child came because of one time with no protection. Surprise! I was really worried. My mom took me to a nature path. He gave me some herbal pills to take right after my pregnancy for several months. Waaahlaaa. No postpartum depression. It worked in my fourth birth as well. No fast forward to my 6th child fifth pregnancy. I was breaking out with hives when I went in to the hospital to have my baby c section . She was breach. I get out of surgery and my temperature spiked to 103. Long story shortened. I ended up being allergic to the antibiotics and get serum sickness. I was afraid to take the herbs because of all the test they were running to see why I was spiking 103-104 fevers. They figured it out and I went home 8 days later. I started to take my herbs and it was too late . They didn’t work so I started on Wellbutrin. Dr Malone are there studies about Wellbutrin and side effects. I know it works different than the other anti-depression pills. Well 20 years later I finally got off of them. Why so long? My parents died a couple of years after my baby was born. Then menopause and thyroid issues started in. Then my sisters died 2 years apart and big one big thing after another. I finally decided enough with the pills and got off of them. Quite frankly I didn’t feel any different.
Yes. Another drug that is harming Americans. I was taking the mildest dose of Prozac many years ago when in an extremely stressful job. My doctor said it would calm my anxiety and help my job performance. Nope. After a few years of increasing side affects and “strange” dreams, I stopped the medication. It took a few months, but then I began to have more clarity of thought and better physical health. I truly believe the old adage that the cure can be worse than the disease. To read how these medications affect our precious unborn is tragic. Again, I have learned something new from Dr Malone! Thank you!
I didn’t realize there were so many councils out there that were dedicated to just pregnant women. The fact is and I’m seeing daily now is RFK jr. has poked the hornets nest and the media is more than willing to destroy this man. Anyone questioning supposed “settled science” is being destroyed by these people writing articles they haven’t researched themselves. They are just parroting almost verbatim what they get told to write. It’s so 1984 but if it was there would be no resistance
The US spends the most on healthcare but we have the worst life expectancy on the planet. They want to keep it that way because it keeps everyone getting paid and the stock price up. The system works for them and not us. The people are finally getting a voice and the machine is doing all it can to silence us. Godspeed to
RFK jr. and those pushing for reform. We need you all. Thank you. Don’t quit on us.
The insidious nature of pharma seems unstoppable. Unless there is business out there specializing in schooling multi-billionaires on the profit potential of health care, there must be existing actuarial numbers available proving same, because health care and pharmaceuticals in particular seem to be an uber wealth magnet. Prime among those attractions is the profitability of patents. So profitable that the medical monetary cabal has succeeded in demonizing naturopathic medicine to a point that patented drugs are preferred over natural substances from prescribers to patients. I attribute the success off that logic lack to the wealth capture of media. Ultra wealthy media moguls are many, making the marriage of health and media greed's dream come true. Sayings like informed consent, buyer beware and personal responsibility have never been more important when we can no longer trust "the news". Is it Pfizer that advertises on CNN or visa versa ?
To my Fellow professional healthcare & scientific brothers and sisters, I personally am very fatigued by reading the unbelievable comments made by those with TDS over these many years.
And, now, we are developing an SSRIDS, mostly due to many who have lost faith in our healthcare and scientific institutions. And, now, this SSRIDS bonfire is being fed by broad condemnation of a medication category by some that has been highly successful in the treatment of moderate to severe clinical depression in millions of Human Beings.
It's time for our healthcare and other scientists having concerns about the use of SSRIs pretty much across the entire spectrum of those Humans suffering from moderate to severe depression to coalesce under Secretary Kennedy's umbrella and get back to the basics of scientific methods and iron this deep rooted problem out.
Is Secretary Kennedy reading this? Please bring this to Secretary Kennedy's attention.
Despite the resistance from unreliable institutions like the American Dental Association and the pre-2025 FDA, the evidence shows that fluoridated water causes a drop in children's IQ. That provokes a question about SSRI safety since many of them contain fluorine.
I asked Google Ai:
Is there fluoride in some SSRIs? If so, which ones?
The reply:
Yes, some Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) contain fluorine atoms as part of their chemical structure. The presence of fluorine is a deliberate modification by chemists to improve a drug's pharmacological profile, such as its stability and effectiveness.
The following are SSRIs that contain fluorine:
Fluoxetine: Sold under the brand names Prozac and Sarafem, it contains a trifluoromethyl group (-CF₃).
Fluvoxamine: Also sold as Luvox, its structure includes a trifluoromethyl group (-CF₃).
Citalopram: Known by the brand name Celexa, its chemical structure contains a single fluorine atom.
Escitalopram: Marketed as Lexapro, it is the active S-enantiomer of citalopram and also features a single fluorine atom.
Paroxetine: Sold as Paxil, it contains a single fluorine atom on one of its aromatic rings.
One of the most common SSRIs that does not contain fluorine is sertraline (Zoloft), which contains two chlorine atoms instead.
The real question is how much fluoride is generated when these compounds are metabolically defluorinated, how much of that is eliminated by the body and how much is retained in the body.
By itself, it's probably not enough to be a significant part of the toxidity of antidepressants, but as part of the total fluoride burden of some people who ingest a lot more of it in the water and in pesticides or herbicides, it could be an issue.
Many of us knew 40 years ago about the many dangers associated with antidepressants. It was not infrequent that when inpatients being treated for depression, and were sent home with a prescription for antidepressants, this was followed-up by a call from a spouse or other family member reporting that the patient had committed suicide with the medicine. Psychiatrist Peter Breggin wrote a book entitled, "Toxic Psychiatry" that was published in 1991 in which he documented the harms of putative antidepressants, and the collusion between pharmaceutical companies, FDA, and the American Psychiatric Association in bringing them to market. Caveat emptor!
It's worse than, "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts." Rather, "My pocket is full, and I want it to stay that way."

Your question reveals the answer. They'll need Malpractice ins to practice the medicine.
At the astronomical cost of it. Ins companies love it and bend some rules.
Lawsuits take time and money. Most injured never file suit nor complaint letters.

WOW gl, great argument to transfer liability!
But it may offer continue of our already probable racketeering loopholes.
Al Capone bought court judges with quiet sneaky bribes and some fears.
Mr. Capone promptly and gleefully always showed up to every summons.
Knowing the judge would indeed find holes in prosecutors detailed facts.
Mr. Capone remained free for decades.
But the IRS & US Treasury found the supreme rock hard angle on his empire

To read how these medications affect our precious unborn is tragic. Again, I have learned something new from Dr Malone! Thank you!
I didn’t realize there were so many councils out there that were dedicated to just pregnant women. The fact is and I’m seeing daily now is RFK jr. has poked the hornets nest and the media is more than willing to destroy this man. Anyone questioning supposed “settled science” is being destroyed by these people writing articles they haven’t researched themselves. They are just parroting almost verbatim what they get told to write. It’s so 1984 but if it was there would be no resistance
The US spends the most on healthcare but we have the worst life expectancy on the planet. They want to keep it that way because it keeps everyone getting paid and the stock price up. The system works for them and not us. The people are finally getting a voice and the machine is doing all it can to silence us. Godspeed to
RFK jr. and those pushing for reform. We need you all. Thank you. Don’t quit on us.
The insidious nature of pharma seems unstoppable. Unless there is business out there specializing in schooling multi-billionaires on the profit potential of health care, there must be existing actuarial numbers available proving same, because health care and pharmaceuticals in particular seem to be an uber wealth magnet. Prime among those attractions is the profitability of patents. So profitable that the medical monetary cabal has succeeded in demonizing naturopathic medicine to a point that patented drugs are preferred over natural substances from prescribers to patients. I attribute the success off that logic lack to the wealth capture of media. Ultra wealthy media moguls are many, making the marriage of health and media greed's dream come true. Sayings like informed consent, buyer beware and personal responsibility have never been more important when we can no longer trust "the news". Is it Pfizer that advertises on CNN or visa versa ?
To my Fellow professional healthcare & scientific brothers and sisters, I personally am very fatigued by reading the unbelievable comments made by those with TDS over these many years.
And, now, we are developing an SSRIDS, mostly due to many who have lost faith in our healthcare and scientific institutions. And, now, this SSRIDS bonfire is being fed by broad condemnation of a medication category by some that has been highly successful in the treatment of moderate to severe clinical depression in millions of Human Beings.
It's time for our healthcare and other scientists having concerns about the use of SSRIs pretty much across the entire spectrum of those Humans suffering from moderate to severe depression to coalesce under Secretary Kennedy's umbrella and get back to the basics of scientific methods and iron this deep rooted problem out.
Is Secretary Kennedy reading this? Please bring this to Secretary Kennedy's attention.
Please explain the difference between SSRIs and SSRIDs? I would appreciate in order to understand the effects.
SSRI = SELECTIVE SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITOR
SSRIDS = SELECTIVE SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITOR DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
Despite the resistance from unreliable institutions like the American Dental Association and the pre-2025 FDA, the evidence shows that fluoridated water causes a drop in children's IQ. That provokes a question about SSRI safety since many of them contain fluorine.
I asked Google Ai:
Is there fluoride in some SSRIs? If so, which ones?
The reply:
Yes, some Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) contain fluorine atoms as part of their chemical structure. The presence of fluorine is a deliberate modification by chemists to improve a drug's pharmacological profile, such as its stability and effectiveness.
The following are SSRIs that contain fluorine:
Fluoxetine: Sold under the brand names Prozac and Sarafem, it contains a trifluoromethyl group (-CF₃).
Fluvoxamine: Also sold as Luvox, its structure includes a trifluoromethyl group (-CF₃).
Citalopram: Known by the brand name Celexa, its chemical structure contains a single fluorine atom.
Escitalopram: Marketed as Lexapro, it is the active S-enantiomer of citalopram and also features a single fluorine atom.
Paroxetine: Sold as Paxil, it contains a single fluorine atom on one of its aromatic rings.
One of the most common SSRIs that does not contain fluorine is sertraline (Zoloft), which contains two chlorine atoms instead.
The real question is how much fluoride is generated when these compounds are metabolically defluorinated, how much of that is eliminated by the body and how much is retained in the body.
By itself, it's probably not enough to be a significant part of the toxidity of antidepressants, but as part of the total fluoride burden of some people who ingest a lot more of it in the water and in pesticides or herbicides, it could be an issue.
