Scientist speaks out about swine flue being man made.

What would cause one of the developers of the medication that is recommended as treatment for swine flu to come out with such a bold statement? Why would he risk his reputation in writing such a controversial report? Could Gibbs know something that is being hidden from the public? Could he possibly feel some remorse about the way his research and development with Tamiflu is being used?

The ABC article does not mention the prime suspect in this case, Fort Detrick, Maryland. For decades, Fort Detrick has been a center of research into biological defense and warfare. On the official website, Fort Detrick is described as "home to the United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, the National Cancer Institute and 37 mission partners. The primary missions include biomedical research and development, medical materiel management and global telecommunications. We are also home to a National Interagency Confederation for Biological Research and National Interagency Biodefense Campus."

Numerous researchers of these matters have long claimed that biodefense research centered at Fort Detrick has been actively developing and testing highly dangerous viruses which, if released, could spread deadly pandemics around the globe. A few researchers, such as Dr. Leonard Horowitz, even believe that rogue elements of government may have already released some of these dangerous viruses into the public to forward their own hidden agendas. Could this be what Tamiflu developer Adrian Gibbs is referring to?

Dr. Mercola, Dr. Horowitz, and many others have pointed out how the fear generated by the media and government with the avian and swine flu has made some individuals very wealthy. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld alone added $5 million to his investment portfolio thanks to massive sales of Tamiflu during the avian flu scare, which never materialized. Note that Tamiflu is also being recommended for the current swine flu scare.

ADHD drugs linked to sudden death

New study finds connection between stimulant and increased risk of sudden death.On that morning, the 54-year-old mother of two living in McAllen, Texas, was preparing to take her eldest son to school. She had an early appointment, so her husband, Rick Hohmann, would be dropping off younger son, 14-year-old Matthew, at his school that day.

About a month earlier, Matthew had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. And like an estimated 2.5 million other children in the United States, he was taking medication for the condition.

It was Ann Hohmann who gave Matthew his Adderall XR pill that morning with a glass of water. But it was her husband who later found him after he had collapsed on the bathroom floor.

"To me, he seemed fine," she recalled. "My husband had seen him walking around, brushing his teeth. Then he walked in and found him flat down on the floor in the bathroom.

ADHD Drugs Help Affected Kids In SchoolKids With ADHD Can Strain MarriagesSt. John's Wort No Help in ADHD"When he turned him over, his lips were blue," Hohmann said.

She said that her husband called her first, and then he called 911. He performed CPR until the ambulance arrived. But it was too late.

"They worked on him for a while, but he was dead," she said.

Ann Hohmann is one of a handful of parents across the country who believes that their children's sudden death was due to the use of drugs to control ADHD. And she said she hopes a new study released this morning, which suggests that the use of stimulants is tied to an increased risk of sudden unexplained death among children and teens, will open the eyes of the public to what she sees as the cause of her son's demise.

"When my doctor gave this to my son, I thought it was a light dose," she said. "I had no idea that it was going to kill him. It ruined our lives. ... There was no warning."

In the study of 564 children and teens who died suddenly, researchers led by Madelyn Gould of the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University in New York City found that that those who died suddenly were 7.4 times more likely than not to have been taking the stimulant medications. The results of the study are reported online in The American Journal of Psychiatry.

"Although sudden unexplained death is a rare event," the researchers said, "this finding should be considered in the context of other data about the risk and benefit of stimulants in medical treatment."New study finds connection between stimulant and increased risk of sudden death.On that morning, the 54-year-old mother of two... more

FDA Flags Psychiatric Risks Of Asthma Drugs

WASHINGTON (AP) — New labels on popular asthma drugs like Merck's Singulair must highlight language about suicidal behavior, depression and anxiety seen in a small number of patients, federal regulators said Friday.

After 15 months of investigation, the Food and Drug Administration said Merck & Co. Inc., AstraZeneca and Cornerstone Therapeutics will have to raise label warnings about psychiatric problems reported by a handful of patients taking their drugs.

"Patients and healthcare professionals should be aware of the potential for neuropsychiatric events with these medications," the FDA said in a posting to its Web site.

A spokeswoman for Merck said the language already appears in Singulair's label, but will be raised to the "precautions" section. It's now listed in a section about various side effects reported by patients.

"We've been working with the FDA since Singulair came to market and every time we update the label it's in cooperation with them," said Merck spokeswoman Pamela Eisele.

Singulair was Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based Merck's best-selling product last year, with U.S. sales of $3.5 billion.

A spokesman for London-based AstraZeneca said new labeling on its drug would only mention two psychiatric problems: depression and insomnia.

A spokesman for Cary, N.C.-based Cornerstone Therapeutics had no immediate comment Friday evening.

FDA regulators last spring began reviewing a handful of reports about mood changes, suicidal behavior and suicide in patients who had taken Singulair. The agency also launched probes into other drugs in the class, including AstraZeneca PLC's Accolate and Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc.'s Zyflo.

Earlier this year, the agency said company studies of the three drugs did not show an increased risk of suicidal behavior, though they were not designed to detect such problems. An FDA spokeswoman said Friday the agency is monitoring ongoing reports of suicide and other psychiatric problems among patients.

"We did move this language to the 'precautions' section to highlight that we're continuing to see these things," said FDA spokeswoman Karen Riley.

The exact language of the labeling updates has not been released, but the FDA said it could mention a slew of psychiatric problems, including: "agitation, aggression, anxiousness, dream abnormalities and hallucinations, depression, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, suicidal thinking and behavior — including suicide — and tremors."

In general, the FDA has started notifying the public earlier about possible safety issues with drugs after the agency came under fire for acting too slowly on drugs like Merck's painkiller Vioxx, which was removed from the market in 2004 because it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke.WASHINGTON (AP) — New labels on popular asthma drugs like Merck's Singulair must highlight language about suicidal... more
