A bake and yard sale veteran, Falmouth, Maine, resident Carolyn Gillis decided to take school fundraising to a higher level. She founded, Classroom Classifieds (CC's) , a free Web site that generates money for schools from items that community members sell.
After years as a dedicated fundraiser for the Falmouth (Maine) Public Schools, Gillis decided she needed to think bigger than bake sales and yard sales. That's why she and other volunteers launched Classroom Classifieds, a virtual yard sale.
Community members list items they want to sell and the asking price, and sellers agree to donate any percentage (1-100%) of the sale price to their school group. They donate directly to their school group's donations page through a link on CC's web site.
Another similar site, Classifiedcircles.org, channels funds to environmental, preventive/ evidence-based health and other progressive charities.
The sites have recently been encouraged by Stanford Social Innovations Business experts as quite sound and ready for financing.A bake and yard sale veteran, Falmouth, Maine, resident Carolyn Gillis decided to take... more

"The truth is that antidepressants are the cause of these violent rampages, and suicide that occur worldwide. How many more of these incidents need to occur until people wake up to what is widely known about these deadly drugs."
http://www.live-pr.com/en/germany-teen-pre...
Quote taken from blog
My question is why are children still being prescribed these drugs if we already know they are bad news..and why isn't the media in the USA doing its job and at least looking into why these stories are coming steadily? We don't hear a peep from Pharmaceutical Industry supported US TV/media. This is a nightmare that I have to keep posting these stories to help save people's lives from our friendly neighborhood newscasters.

According to Japan's Health Ministry, between 2004 and March 2007, fifteen people aged 10 to 19 have been injured or killed by jumps or fallen from buildings after taking Tamiflu (oseltamivir), and one 17-year-old died after he jumped in front of a truck. A renewed investigation of the Japanese data was completed in April 2007. It found that 128 patients had been reported to behave abnormally after taking Tamiflu (oseltamivir) since 2001. Forty-three of them were under 10 years old, 57 patients were aged 10 to 19, and 28 patients were aged 20 or over. Eight people, including five teens and three adults, had died from these actions
In November 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended the warning label to include the possible side effects of delirium, hallucinations, or other related behavior.

This statement seems so incredible that it takes a long time to clear one´s brainwashed mind to fully understand its importance.
Yet the fact that people with high cholesterol live the longest emerges clearly from many scientific papers. Consider the finding of Dr. Harlan Krumholz of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale University, who reported in 1994 that old people with low cholesterol died twice as often from a heart attack as did old people with a high cholesterol. Supporters of the cholesterol campaign consistently ignore his observation, or consider it as a rare exception, produced by chance among a huge number of studies finding the opposite.
My cholesterol level is 300 and I am wondering if I should bother worrying.
I am of Ashkenazi Heritage..that means River People I believe.and have seen studies that say that our high cholesterol helps keep our thinking clear into our 90'sand beyond.
I certainly won't go on $tatins which are highly dangerous. I am 100% sure of that. I am already a 98% Vegan..that didn't help much in that respect as I thought it would.
I might try some supplements that helped me previously from Whole Foods.

AN international drug company made a hit list of doctors who had to be "neutralised" or discredited because they criticised the anti-arthritis drug the pharmaceutical giant produced.
Staff at US company Merck &Co emailed each other about the list of doctors - mainly researchers and academics - who had been negative about the drug Vioxx or Merck and a recommended course of action.
The email, which came out in the Federal Court in Melbourne yesterday as part of a class action against the drug company, included the words "neutralise", "neutralised" or "discredit" against some of the doctors' names.
It is also alleged the company used intimidation tactics against critical researchers, including dropping hints it would stop funding to institutions and claims it interfered with academic appointments.

No words to describe, what happened to my little grandson after taking TAMIFLU. It helped him to get rid of the flu, but the side effects were evil. We were scared, he would loose his mind and his life. He had to stay 1 week in a hospital to get rid of the side effects. BEWARE OF TAMIFLU. This should not be given to children.

NEUROLOGICAL ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS OF TAMIFLU: WIKIPEDIA
There are concerns that Tamiflu (oseltamivir) may cause dangerous psychological, neuropsychiatric side effects including self harm in some users. These dangerous side effects occur more commonly in children than in adults.[13] This stems from cases in Japan, where the drug is most heavily prescribed.
In March 2007, Japan's Health Ministry warned that oseltamivir should not be given to those aged 10 to 19.
According to Japan's Health Ministry, between 2004 and March 2007, fifteen people aged 10 to 19 have been injured or killed by jumps or fallen from buildings after taking oseltamivir, and one 17-year-old died after he jumped in front of a truck. A renewed investigation of the Japanese data was completed in April 2007. It found that 128 patients had been reported to behave abnormally after taking oseltamivir since 2001. Forty-three of them were under 10 years old, 57 patients were aged 10 to 19, and 28 patients were aged 20 or over. Eight people, including five teens and three adults, had died from these actions
In November 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended the warning label to include the possible side effects of delirium, hallucinations, or other related behavior.[16] This went further than the FDA's previous pronouncement, from a year before, that there was insufficient evidence to claim a causal link between oseltamivir use and the deaths of 12 Japanese children (only two were from neurological problems, although more have died since then).[17] The change to a more cautionary stance was attributed to 103 new reports that the FDA received of delirium, hallucinations and other unusual psychiatric behavior, mostly involving Japanese patients, received between August 29, 2005 and July 6, 2006. This was an increase from the 126 similar cases logged between the drug's approval in 1999 and August 2005.
In April 2007, South Korea issued a safety warning against prescribing tamiflu to teenagers except in special cases.NEUROLOGICAL ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS OF TAMIFLU: WIKIPEDIA

A Food and Drug Administration panel on Tuesday will review reports of abnormal behavior and other brain effects in more than 1,800 children who had taken the flu medicine Tamiflu since its approval in 1999, including 55 in the USA.
Twenty-two of the U.S. reports were considered "serious," with symptoms such as convulsions, delirium or delusions, says Terry Hurley, spokesman for drugmaker Roche Laboratories. None of the U.S. cases resulted in death. But in Japan, Hurley says, five deaths have been reported in children under 16 as a result of neurological or psychiatric problems. "Four were fatal falls, and one was encephalitis in a patient with leukemia," he says. In addition, in people ages 17 to 21, there were two deaths in Japan, one a "fatal accident with abnormal behavior," Hurley says, and the second as a result of encephalopathy, a brain infection. Seven adult deaths attributed to neuropsychiatric problems also have been reported in Japan.

Many of our critical problems are a Corporate Induced Illusion, simply solved at zero cost once put into correct perspective.
Dear President Obama Health and Human Services ideas submission:,
1. This may sound trite but Scientists from Oxford University say the effect of nutrition on behaviour has been underestimated. The university will lead the £1.4m study in which 1,000 males aged 16 to 21 from three young offenders' institutions in England and Scotland will be randomly allocated either the vitamin-and-mineral supplements or a placebo, and followed over 12 months. In a pilot study of 231 prisoners by the same researchers, published in 2002, violent incidents while in custody were cut by a more than a third among those given the supplements.
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/health-news/prison-...
2. Pharmaceutical Drugs, such as SSRI's, many believe are contributing to the cause of these mass killings and other violence. Why are there no reports of these facts on Pharmaceutical supported US News?
http://ssristories.com/index.php
3. A Patient Side Effect Data Base should be part of the transparency of "dot gov".This is already in existence and it is terrifying that no one knows of it. http://www.askapatient.com Please study this carefully because results can be deceiving if sorted in certain ways. Perhaps this data base can be expanded through Health and Human Services.

Post from video blog:
"THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE ! PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS regularly given to chidlren and teenagers against the scientific evidence that confirms they are at risk of becoming suicidal, but more importantly AGRESSIVE AND VIOLENT the homicides speak for themselves this boy is just another victim. The one who should be charged and sent to prison is the doctor that gave this poor boy a drug he could not safely metabolise a DNA test from his autopsy and all will be revealed and stop this madness and death!!"

How many of these will occur before the US Media and population will wake up..?
The need to consider this possible contributor to US astronomical violence is clear to me and many others. There is not a peep of this on US media supported by the Pharmaceutical Industry.
..Shame on American's ignorance!!!
Shame on a one of the only 2 countries in the world that allow these Drugs Advertising that allows us to be so blinded by propaganda...and no sign of it lifting under our new president.

Release Date: 2009-03-22
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
The Winnendon, Germany school shooting, which left 17 dead including the gunman, appears to be the latest in the chain of psychiatric drug-induced school shootings. A March 15 article in Scotland on Sunday, revealed that the shooter, Tim Kretschmer, "had been suffering from depression, even attending a clinic and receiving medication for the condition."
With casualties from school or teen shootings now totaling 54 dead and 105 wounded, the mental health watchdog Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) says it is time to stop vested interests from spouting their usual propaganda about psychiatric drugs, and instead demand a federal investigation for the sake of public safety. While the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industries have persisted in vehemently denying that antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs cause violence, CCHR is quick to point out that it was similar vested interests that stalled the FDA from issuing black box warnings on suicide for more than 13 years.

Dear President Obama,
Please implement this data base of patient comments on often deadly side effects of Pharmaceutical Drugs as a tool towards transparency in American Health care system.
http://www.askapatient.com/viewtopratings.asp
Askapatient.com is an existing patient comments data base where you can look up information about Pharmaceutical Drugs and record your own experiences.
For example, here is the listing for Paxil where there are 684 ratings for the drug in the data base.
The average rating for Paxil is 2.9 out of a possible 5.
http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=20031&name=PAXIL&sort=satisfaction&order=1
It is often frightening but it would be helpful for people to know what are potential side effects of the drugs they are being prescribed. This is especially worrisome to me since my older sister told me her doctor told her it was normal for people her age to be on 5 or more drugs at the same time.
This is a low cost part of the solution as the work has already been done. It would merely need to be expanded as a part of the ".gov" web system.
Thank you for your inspirational leadership!
Sincerely Yours,
A concerned mother in Maine and
The American PeopleDear President Obama,

UK Prison research: nutritional deficiencies play key role in violent behaviour
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2006/oc...
Image...
Results showed those receiving extra nutrients committed 37% fewer serious offenses involving violence, and 26% fewer offenses overall. Those on the placebos showed no change in their behavior. Once the trial had finished the number of offenses went up by the same amount.
The former Chief Inspector of Prisons (UK) Lord Ramsbotham says that he is now "absolutely convinced that there is a direct link between diet and antisocial behaviour, both that bad diet causes aggressive behavior and that good diet prevents it." _______________________________________________________________________
This would make a GREAT subject for a Realty Pod for CurrentTV
Enlist one or a few prisoners in US jails and follow their story...it doesn't take long for effects to take place. This is revolutionary and won't be covered by United States media because they are supported by the Pharmaceutical Companies. Prevention represents competition for profits..
Alternatively you might follow the existing story in Britain if someone in the UK wants to do a Pod.

Scientific studies proving that Prozac encourages psychopathic behavior and suicidal tendencies in young people are voluminous. Red Lake High School killer was on Prozac. "The Uni bomber", Michael McDermott, John Hinckley, Jr., Byran Uyesugi, Mark David Chapman and Charles Carl Roberts IV, the Amish school killer, were all on SSRI Psychotropic Drugs
Our media does not report that killer,Steven Kazmierczak, Northern Illinois University shootings, had been taking Psychotropic Drugs. Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, as well as 15-year-old Kip Kinkel, the Oregon killer who gunned down his parents and classmates, and Cho Seung Hui, the Virginia Tech killer, were all on Psychotropic Drugs.
This is an ever-repeating story in America. Everyone seems befuddled each time like it will never happen again and it must have been a failed school system, a bad parent video games or perhaps an odd song. While these may be contributing factors, we should be open to investigating all possible causes. Our US "News" media never whispers any hint of possibility of side effects of these legal drugs being a possible part of the cause.
Imagine a cocktail of these drugs in American "troubled teens" and prisoners. This is common in our vastly over-medicated American society. The problem is often combined with other seemingly harmless drugs that often have serious confusion and violence producing side effects. Many people take 5 or more medications at the same time. This is considered a good thing in the US.
Add this to a population who are missing critical components of their diets. UK Prisons are cutting violent behaviour by a third by simply correcting that deficiency. These are in placebo controlled double blind studies conducted right now with Oxford College. http://current.com/items/88895089_uk_prison_research_nu...Scientific studies proving that Prozac encourages psychopathic behavior and suicidal... more
