The US Drug Watchdog fears that most women have never heard of severe side effects associated with the birth control pills called Yaz, Yasmin, or their generic version Ocella, and they doubt most women would ever make the connection between a birth control pill, and a heart attack, a stroke, a pulmonary embolism, or blood clots. The US Drug Watchdog is urging women who used these specific types of birth control pills, and then developed a very serious medical condition to contact the Johnson Law Group immediately at 1-800-996-9900. http://www.johnsonlawgroup.com/ (PRWEB) December 26, 2012 On December 8, 2011 the New York Times wrote, "An advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration said labels on the popular birth control pills Yaz and Yasmin should be strengthened to include more information about the possibility that the pills could lead to greater risk of blood clots in women." According to the September 17th 2009 edition of the New York Times, "The FDA released a warning letter to Bayer Pharmaceuticals over Yaz & Yasmin. The FDA letter was very critical of the drug maker for failing to highlight the risk factors associated with these birth control pills." http://www.johnsonlawgroup.com/ Possible Side Effects Yaz/Yasmin Birth … Continue reading →

(Reuters) - U.S. health regulators warned five eyecare providers to stop misleading advertising and promotion of refractive lasers used in eye surgery procedures such as LASIK. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that the advertisements and promotional materials did not offer consumers adequate information about risks and possible side effects. Warning letters were sent to certain eyecare centers in Indiana, California, Florida, Texas and Georgia. "Providers whose advertising does not provide adequate risk information are finding out today that the FDA is serious about consumer protection," said Steve Silverman, compliance director at FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health in a statement posted on the agency's website. Surgery with refractive lasers is intended to reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses. It involves the removal of corneal tissue by a special laser and permanently reshapes the cornea and changes its focusing power. The most common risks of LASIK surgery include dry eyes, the possible continued need for glasses, visual disturbances such as halos, starbursts or double vision, and even loss of vision. The FDA said it issued letters in 2009 and 2011 to eyecare professionals across the country explaining the agency's concerns about improper advertising and promotion of … Continue reading →

CCHR's website documents that at least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs, resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed. It also lists 22 international drug regulatory warnings that have been issued on psychiatric drugs causing side effects of mania, psychosis, aggression, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation, yet there has never been a federal investigation into psychiatric drugs and acts of senseless violence. Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) December 20, 2012 On Dec. 17th, the Los Angeles Times article, "Adam Lanza's family had kept a watchful eye on him," cited sources who say Lanza had been 'medicated' as early as age 10. WFSB Eyewitness News, a Connecticut CBS affiliate, reported on Dec. 19th in the article, "Adam Lanza underwent psych evaluations in years past," that Adam Lanza "had some disorders" and Eyewitness News learned that Lanza "did undergo some sort of psychiatric evaluation sometime within the past few years." The questions that need to be answered are what "medications" was Adam Lanza prescribed, when was he prescribed them, and for how long. The importance of answering these questions, as well as the need to launch a federal investigation into psychiatric drugs prompting acts … Continue reading →

RxISK.org, the first free independent website for researching and reporting prescription drug side effects, has just added a Hair Zone to both highlight and to collect more data on the links between prescription drugs and our hair. Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) December 17, 2012 Dr. Dee Mangin, RxISK.orgs Chief Medical Officer explains, It makes sense that this accumulation has effects on the hair itself. In the sixties women and their hair stylists were the first to identify changes in hair consistency caused by the use of oral contraceptives: it was discovered that oral contraceptives caused womens hair to thin both during use and after. But its not just The Pill - a lot of commonly used drugs cause hair side effects including blood pressure medications, cholesterol drugs, and antidepressants. Some of the most commonly used drugs in Britain and North America have thinning effects on hair. But its not just hair thinning drugs can really cause problems with the way hair treatments like colours, extensions and waves take." Kaye Briden, owner of Yazu Hair Lounge in New Zealand, has over 30 years experience in the industry and is part of the LOreal Ambassador Team. She says over the years, hair stylists … Continue reading →

Michael Moore Admits Big Pharma To Blame For School Shootings Fact: Despite 22 international drug regulatory warnings on psychiatric drugs citing effects of mania, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation, and dozens of high profile shootings/killings tied to psychiatric drug use, there has yet to be a federal investigation on the link between psychiatric drugs and acts of senseless violence. Fact: At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public mdash;neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs.) Fact: Between 2004 and 2011, there have been over 11000 reports to the US FDA's MedWatch system of psychiatric drug side effects related to violence. These include 300 cases of homicide, nearly 3000 cases of mania and over 7000 cases of aggression. Note: By the FDA's own admission, only 1-10% of side effects are ever reported to the FDA, so the actual number of side effects occurring are most certainly higher. Of the 14 shooters documented to be under the influence of psychiatric drugs, seven were seeing either … Continue reading →
