		<description>So Gloria, you lost your son, too.  If you wish, I am sure you can get my email privately from Ed.  I would like to communicate with you.  Even though my son was killed and yours was not, the common thread of Zyprexa makes us share the worst of all worlds. I am sorry to hear your story.</description>

		<description>MOTHER AND LEGAL GUARDIAN IN NYC.
 
Silvio E.Inzucchi, MD has no credibility in my eyes. He is tinted with "relevant financial relationships" with big pharma. He makes an extraordinary living lying about the most dangerous neurotoxins on earth. His license should be revoked...so his statements won't contribute inflicting more damage to humanity.

A case in point:
Wilfred Postel, psychiatrist for Earth House School of Somerset, N.J., ordered on the telephone, with deprave indifference,  to administer my son Albert, Olanzapine (Zyprexa) 15mg on 9.11.98, he was 19 years old then. Postel didn't even bother to read his medical record, much less he didn't even give him an evaluation.
This is what Loren R. Mosher MD Board Certified Psychiatrist - California License # CA14219 wrote in his Expert Opinion dated 12.4.02:
"The administration of Olanzapine prescribed by Dr. Postel and given by Earth House provided a toxic re-challenge to Mr.Levy's already damaged neuroleptic hypersensitive brain. This exacerbated a neuro-toxic process in Mr. Levy, that resulted in further behavioral (immediate) and cognitive (longer-term) deterioration. He is now, and will likely remain, totally disabled with an IQ so low as to making testing unrealiable. He will require 24 hour 1:1 care for the rest of his life."
Earh House Director, Greer S. Imbrie, acknowleged that the zyprexa had made Albert worse. When I took him home, he didn't know his name or who I was and became ferociously violent, and showing extreme anxiety.  He almost killed me three times and also attempted against other members of my family as well. I had to hire 3 male attendants to prevent Albert from breaking windows, walls, and from attacking me.  
The psycho-pharma cartel as people call it in this medium,  is so negative to a civilized society... "the Crib of Democracy" that lawyers see the opportunity to sell you out, judges dismis your case, advisers steal from you, only because they see your anguish with a psychotic child and you are desperate for survival. 

We lost a $10M contract with the City of NY, we lost our real estate $5M and collateral damages $25M and first and foremost is Albert suffering because we cannot communicate with him as he doesn't make sense and he prefers to be mute. Albert is 28 now, still exists because he has been detoxified with 7 different techniques,among them,  the first one with Traditional Chinese Botanicals to cleanse the liver and the kidneys, the best...$120 is extremely effective. The second one with Essential Oils... $300, magnificent.  The third  one Doctor's  Choice  Cellular Detox... $300, extraaordinary. And any other detox sold on TV and in health food stores. They all work miracles. But most be taken under secure environment because the person can become overwhelm with extreme anxiety. You need your family with you. 
 
I suffered too much for 5 years with Albert totally psychotic running in the streets of Manhattan, while Honorable Jack M.Sabatino JSC - Superior Court of NJ - Mercer County Court House, ordered Albert's attorney AAron David Frishberg to settle, otherwise he would dismis the case, which he did because the $15,000 offer of Stahl &#38; DeLaurentis, PC attorney for Postel...was unacceptable. That's the amount Frishberg  received from me to represent Albert.
 
Our family has spent $500,000 caring for Albert during the lapse of 13 years...about $40,000/year. Medicaid is paying $247,000 per bed on average to psychiatric wards. This means my family has saved the government $4M.  Albert, because his '0' IQ, incontinence and severe cognitive impairment,  his care will cost much more about $300,000/year including his rehabilitation and entertainment long overdue...our goal is to get him out of his chronic dementia. 
Zyprexa is so dangerous, that just 15mg wiped out '64 IQ'
NY Hospital and Metropolitan Hospital in NYC - iatrogenic treatment - had left Albert with. The entire neuroleptic fiasco is so criminal it calls for the elimination of these medicines like a plague, we need detoxification clinics in abundance, and healing places in the mountains and the states will save billions.

I hold Ely Lilly responsible for the tragedy brought upon us, and for the almost destruction of my entire family. We demand a compensation suitable to our loses.

Thank you for the opportunity to ventilate our horror story.</description>

You may disagree some here as well, but pharma is not a monolith.  There are plenty of people in the industry who are as outraged - and sometimes personally shredded - as many of us, although very rarely having suffered a loss like yours.

They are obviously not the final decision-makers in situations of the kind you describe.  But they are there.  If the industry doesn't self-destruct first via preemption and similar schemes, they have a chance to recreate what was always far from perfect, but still ...

Back in '67, in Lafayette Park, there were also those who had been there.  They came back to join us.</description>

		<description>The first, and only, demonstration I attended, in 2005, was in Lafayette Park and on the sidewalk in front of the White House.  Of course, Jr. wasn't there, but we were buzzed by police cars and motorcycles the whole time.  Secret Service were up on the roof of the WH.  I met some wonderful people who remain connected to me.  Bush was the focus of our anger.  Many of us had lost family members.

But your point is well taken.  There is complicity enough to go around to every part of government.  It is this way with all large corporations.  The problem with Pharma is that they don't sell sneakers; they sell lethal products and don't bat an eye if people are killed due to their myriad of dirty tricks.</description>

		<description>Hi Lauren - You won't get much argument from me.  I included both branches and, of course, the Judiciary is on the way.  We need not decide on where most of the responsibility lies so long as we are prepared to take on all those we deem play a part.  This is an election year, so there are a lot of folks who could be held accountable.</description>

		<description>So, according to the Lilly shill that initially said Zyprexa doesn't cause diabetes, my son could have merely been killed by profound hyperglycemia.  Well, isn't that comforting.  We will never know as he had only one ONE blood glucose test.

I've heard all the arguments about the FDA not having enough money and blaming it on Congress, and there may be truth to this.  But in my mind the ultimate culprit  is George W. Bush.  He has trashed every department of the Executive Branch.  The muzzled scientists at the FDA have brethren in every other branch that has scientists.  Every branch is wrecked.  Remember FEMA?  The EPA?  And remember Waxman's study that showed that in the first five years of Bush's Reign (he believes he is a King) the FDA had issued half as many warnings to the Pharmas than in the previous few years.

Most of Junior's years, he had a Republican Congress.  Now the Dems have a slim majority.  The Hill is crawling with Pharma lobbiests; I think they give the second most cash after the Chamber of Congress.  The deck is stacked. The ultimate blame lies at the feet of the worst president we have ever had.  One of Syd Taurel's best pals.</description>
