Childhood is a decease , a profitable decease. But so is feeling human emotions. What will happen to mankind if they succeed in bringing apathy to mankind? Aside from the side effects, which are scary enough, the loss of livingness and joy are probably scarier. Bogus diagnosis for bogus “deceases” . Childhood is a decease , a profitable decease.

The American Diabetes Association claimed it as most likely to cause diabetes of any of the atypicals. And 29,000 lawsuits against Lilly for diabetes, hyperglycemia, and death along with other complications were not replicated by any other atypical. What does it take to get this drug thrown off the market? Oh, excuse me, I forgot. The Bush family are very close friends with various Lilly family members and executives. It sure won't happen as long as Junior remains in office. The NIH CATIE study stated that Zypexa had the worst side effects of all the atypical antipsychotics.

The Schiavo case was a misstep I'll give you that one...This case was driven by religion, not science.. Congress is “RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSIGHT”

Republicans in Congress, including the eminent Dr. Frist, passed this legislation because they "diagnosed" Schiavo as not being in a persistant vegetative state. Of course, the autopsy after Schiavo's death refuted Frist and his colleagues. Congress is just not the place for medical decisions. Atlex Lisa,

FDA approval would stop the lawsuits(at least from the approval date and beyond) unless something is done about preemption.This is a win for pharma...and the kids suffer. “There is always off-label use if physicians think it has benefit, without resorting to an FDA determination of ’safe and effective’ given questionable data.”

They're so good at it. Notice the wonderful diagnostic job they did in the Terri Schiavo case. Last I checked, there are very few members with medical degrees.
