Silence! Apotex, A Doctor And Freedom Of Speech
22 CommentsBy Ed Silverman // December 12th, 2008 // 9:06 am
Four years after an agreement supposedly ended a decade-long dispute between a Toronto physician Nancy Olivieri and Apotex, which accused her of badmouthing one of its drug, a new lawsuit has been filed by the drugmaker - and the Canadian Association of University Teachers is now accusing Apotex of trying to muzzle academic freedom.
The CAUT says Apotex is trying to silence Olivieri, because its lawsuit, which was filed last month, lists a very broad range of examples in which the drugmaker claims the professor breached their 2004 agreement “not to disparate each other,” according to The Globe and Mail. The lawsuit cites such alleged infractions as attending conferences, chairing panels and having an entry in Wikipedia.”
“What is so worrisome is that Apotex seems to be trying to define disparagement so broadly,” Jim Turk, CAUT’s executive director, tells the paper. “In Dr. Olivieri’s case, it means not only can she not talk about the factual things that happened to her, she can’t participate in conferences on academic freedom where there is no reference to her case at all. To be threatened with serious legal action in this way essentially means the only option is to be silent” (Here is the Apotex lawsuit, the claims against Olivieri, the CAUT statement and a statement from the Canadian Health Coalition).
The dispute goes back to the mid-1990s, when Olivieri participated in studies on deferiprone, which is also known as Ferriprox and is used to treat a rare blood disorder. She expressed concerns that “other experts in the field (have told Apotex) were unfounded,” according to the recently filed lawsuit. An Apotex lawyer couldn’t be reached for comment, the paper adds.
The lawsuit says Olivieri began a media campaign to cast herself as “the whistleblower hero in a saga against an evil drug company,” in order to gain public sympathy. In 2000, she began a defamation action against Apotex and others, and the drugmaker launched a countersuit, all of which were addressed in the 2004 settlement, the paper writes.
The new lawsuit argues Olivieri has since been involved in a list of speaking engagements and publications in which she “either directly disparaged Apotex and/or deferiprone or acquiesced or consented to the disparagement,” according to the Globe and Mail, adding that the drugmaker asks for $500,000 in damages and none of the charges have been proved in court.
The suit lists 35 examples of what it describes as breaches to the settlement, including an entry in Wikipedia that describes her “protracted struggle” with Apotex and a website posting that promotes a movie script in development on the story, the paper writes.
The new action comes at the same time as Olivieri continues to work through the courts to have the terms of the 2004 settlement enforced, the paper continues. Last week, Justice George Strathy of the Ontario Superior Court ordered Apotex to perform all the terms of the settlement, including a $800,000 payment to the doctor, a sum that until last week was not public.
“There is a disagreement about what is disparaging and that will presumably have to be decided in this new action,” Paul Mitchell, Olivieri’s lawyer, tells the paper.

554 Lots rejected in two years!No record where that stuff went!WHY Health Canada did not determine any problems before FDA did? Cover up? The Industry is not highly regulated , it is self regulated!!!!!!!!!!!Apotex’s philosophy was “to antagonize every one against every one” to keep employees week, fragmented, unorganized, not able to question any thing ( safety / luck of protection), absence of Safety Data Shits, production of unknown products, not calibrated / invalidated equipment and systems, adverse product side effects, prevent employees from complaints to Authorities etc.Apotex did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representation in a matter within the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labor Board, WSiB (Workers Compensation Insurance Board), Ontario Human Rights Commission, Ontario Health Act , Ontario Labor Law as well obstructed Canadian Constitution etc. Company terrorized by many means any one / all employees voicing concerns about issues with Safety and quality of the products. Ministries demonstrated criminal, corrupted attitude toward labor force/peoples of Ontario and beyond.Unfortunately Ministry demonstrated criminal, corrupted attitude toward(labor force/peoples of Ontario). In the past Ministry of Labor did come number of times into TorPharm/Apotex to investigate employees complains about Environmental/ personnel contamination. Unfortunately, every time Ministry of Labor warned TorPharm in advance about their visit /investigation and upon arrival tests were conducted in designated area after full clean and with out pending production. It is important to differentiate in between an accident and a crime (criminal, methodical negligence). Torpharm/Apotex got engaged in intentional malicious conduct violating all statutes with a reckless indifference.They deliberately acted with knowledge of a high degree of probability of serious harm to people (employees , customers) and reckless indifference to the consequences of that act. It acted in the face of a perceived risk that its actions will violate all laws. We are faced with unethical corporation that engaged in illegal production of prohibited products, violated all rules of the corporate system and in the process sacrificed health of own employees. The extraordinarily lucrative pharmaceutical industry has long been driven more by profit, power and policy then pills or concern to Health and Safety. There is much moral posturing in an industry that is only too well aware, that it capitalizes on a captive market of the desperate and the afflicted. This is a reason why in the name of higher benefit Corporation selected to ignore Health and Safety regulations and adopted an unrelentingly aggressive stance against any one expressing concerns in area of Health and Safety and quality of the products.Apotex committed many counts of perverting the course of justice or intending to pervert the course of justice, many counts of perjury , criminal conspiracy, criminal negligence, criminal recruitment of false witnesses, attempted murder, did cause permanent disability, irreparable damage.With Apotex no one will correct any thing.
Apotex has to be liquidated and all recovery must go to Federal treasure for partial coverage of carnage Apotex did in Society.Apotex many times dumped untreated waste waters in to Lake Ontario.With Apotex no one will correct any thing.
Apotex has to be liquidated and all recovery must go to Federal treasure for partial coverage of carnage Apotex did in Society.

APOTEX and WSiB are partners in crime!Apotex/Company, with its mandate to bring relief / help to people suffering from many medical conditions did make me disable ( work related medical conditions) limiting my professional and personal life, making challenging my social life and in vicious / malicious manner on on going bases is preventing me from enjoying my Constitutional Right to be able to provide for myself.
I was and am tortured by Apotex, Ontario Labor Board, WSiB, Ontario’s Ombudsmen Office, Service Canada, Office of the Worker Adviser, Ontario Human Rights Commission and some more Agencies.
Canadian Government institutions mandated to assist General Public in time of misfortune, suffer and despair selected to engage in criminal activities and assist criminal Corporation which is stone waling an Ontarian / victim with life threatening medical conditions.
Those Institutions deprived me from Constitutional and Law protection.
Apotex and its accomplices denied me medical help, deprived me of all means of sustaining myself and are not regretful.
I want to express my strongest protest against the way WSiB is handling my case.
Agency established to assist General Public and protect / assist it in time of desperation /suffer and misfortune, become profit oriented identity placing well being of victims on back burner of its activity /
objectives.
Criminal Corporations have substantial influence over WSiB’s activities/processing of claims.
WSiB acts from position of power (criminal immunity) and further victimizes already suffering people.
Through out duration of processing it does infringe on criminal and sadistic tendencies.
It is beyond comprehension, that individuals like me, with life threatening medical conditions (due to criminal negligence of employers)are deprived of/from urgent medical attention and financial support they
deserve due to WSiB’s investigation of victim’s employment and medical records back to Stone Age (in chase for any and all excuses to limit victim’s entitlements).
It is paradoxical, that diagnoses /conclusions are being made by some of WSiB’s personnel with out any medical / investigative knowledge
/skills. Victim’s evidence submissions, Reports of qualified and professional investigators are not enough to adjudicate obvious cases.
Such untimely manner of claims processing further deteriorates victim’s state of health.
It is outrageous, that WSiB investigation focuses on victims instead of denouncing and panelizing Corporations which violated all regulations of the civilized society and compromised lives of many people.
This is very serious systemic problem and needs to be addressed immediately.
It is easy to be with out any compassion in cases involving other people, but in life any thing can happen to any one and corrupted,
dysfunctional system may victimize the very people operating it (the
system) at the very moment.
It is important for WSiB to become protector of Constitutional, Labor and Civil Rights in Ontario (with in its mandate).
I expect WSiB to be fully compliant / accountable with Code of Ethics, Justice and Moral Values and with out further delays adjudicate my Claim in to my benefit.
During my awaiting for WSiB’s help I am being with out any medications, any food and being repossessed from every thing I worked for trough my 35 + years of hard work.

Only in Canada, instead of applying for Old Age Pension, you should rather apply for the Status of Refugee. The federal Government of Canada allows a monthly pension of $1,890.00 to a simple refugee plus $580.00 in social aid = a grand total of $2,470.00 monthly X 12 months = $28,920.00 annual income? By comparison, the Old Age Pension of a senior citizen who has contributed to the development of Our Beautiful Big Country during 40 or 50 years, CANNOT receive more than amount/month $1,012.00 in Old Age Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement X 12 months = $12,144.00 annual income a difference of $16,776.00per year * Perhaps our senior citizens should ask for the Status of Refugees instead of applying for Old Age Pension.
Disability Pension for sick/suffering Canadians is only $ 874.00 a month!
SCANDAL, DISCRIMINATION, CRIME!!!!

Apotex is taking advantage of a sick and impaired individual, not able to effectively / aggressively defend himself in articulated manner due to medical condition (compromised speech mechanism and other neurological problems).
Because of this circumstance my issue/problem become politically sensitive and concluding it in lawful manner is in the best interest of General Public.
Trough most of my 34 (thirty four ) years of professional work I did everything in my capacity to bring relief to people whose lives were destroyed by health problems and they were send on the path of suffer and despair.
For years I worked in the Children’s Hospital where I was named Employee of the year in recognition for my exceptional work.
For many, many years I worked in pharmaceutical industry doing everything to contribute to the variety and quality of products available on the market to those in need.
I was recognized many times all over again for my dedication, compassion, performance and leadership (proof upon request) and then hear in Ontario my world collapsed.
I become victim of criminal activities within industry I SERVED FOR SO MANY YEARS.
Pharmaceutical Corporation with its mandate to bring relief to all who suffer, disregarded safety and for almost 7 years exposed me with out any personal protection to very potent products.
When I raised (in open manner) concern for safety of equipment, contamination of personnel and quality of the products I was given Warning Letter- reason “escalates issues to upper level”.
At the same time as many other employees I was getting very sick.
As result of Torpharm/Apotex’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect) I AM DISABLE.
Toxic build up of the drugs and/or its metabolites can be fatal.
I AM ON MULTIPLE MEDICATIONS BEING AFRAID OF UNCERTAIN TOMMOROW.
As we know, all Corporations are required to adhere to certain standards of behaviour.
These standards are design to protect them and others.
Failure to meet these standards can cause unnecessary personal injury and is punishable by law.
TorPharm/Apotex had the legal obligation to behave in a particular manner and had the duty to protect me from on the job harm and personal injury.
The Corporation failed to fulfill this obligation by acting inappropriately and due to legal breech of conduct caused my personal injury.
Company got engaged in intentional malicious conduct violating all statutes with a reckless indifference.
It acted in the face of a perceived risk that its actions will violate all laws.
Company treated me in harsh and humiliating way acting in an especially egregious manner. The evidence proves that alleged facts were true.
Company, with its mandate to bring relief / help to people suffering from many medical conditions did make me disable ( work related medical conditions) limiting my professional and personal life, making challenging my social life and in vicious / malicious manner on on going bases is preventing me from enjoying my Constitutional Right to be able to provide for myself.

Apotex did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representation in a matter within the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labor Board, WSiB (Workers Compensation Insurance Board), Ontario Human Rights Commission, Ontario Health Act , Ontario Labor Law as well obstructed Canadian Constitution etc.
Apotex committed many counts of perverting the course of justice or intending to pervert the course of justice, many counts of perjury , criminal conspiracy, criminal negligence, criminal recruitment of false witnesses, attempted murder, did cause permanent disability, irreparable damage,
Ontario Labor Board, WSiB (Workers Compensation Insurance Board), Ontario Ombudsmen’s Office, OHRC got engaged in criminal conspiracy with Apotex sabotaging my case , terrorizing me with constant scare tactics that if I will inquire about my Claim they will dismiss it in no time.
In all those Institutions people in position of decision making patronized mi, terrorized mi , made laughs during my testimonies about my suffer etc.!
Labor Board, Ombudsmen Office and WSiB refused to report crimes against me and General Public (attempted murder) to Authorities/Police.
I believe that drugs produced during some periods of my employment killed more people world wide then military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan combined. (Approximately 3 weeks after ingesting the generic version of the drug, Lois Ann Colacicco committed suicide). What about millions of very sick people in 115 Countries taking Apotex’s products?
Why Government Agencies provided cover up for Apotex’s criminal activities for so many years until big problems were recently spontaneously discovered by Investigators Debra M. Emerson and Rochelle L. Campbell. (Richard L. Friedman,Director ,Division of Manufacturing and Product Quality Office of Compliance

AT THE PRESENT, DUE TO LAW /REGULATIONS WHOLE CONCEPT OF GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS IS CRIMINAL IN ITS NATURE. Apotex employs only people willing to cut corners.That is the nature of the generics. In order to bit the system you must commit crimes. Honest people are not welcome at Apotex. You must do what Company asks you to do!
For many years Company melted and boiled chemicals in hundred of pounds at the time in order to challenge existing /valid Patents of Brand Name’s by process ( Cyclosporin- Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressant used originally to prevent the rejection of transplanted kidneys, continues to be recommended for a variety of organ transplants, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric), antidepressants and narcotics which I worked with: PAXIL, Lavitra, Plavix, Bupropion, Gabapentin, Gemfibrosil, Metformin, Omeprazole, Temazepam/Etodolac, Metroprolol , Norvasc, Depakote and other brain function controlling drugs and antidepressants, narcotics blood composition and pressure controlling drugs etc.).
As result of Company’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect -Depakote/ Divalproex Sodium, Diazepam, Clonazepam, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbital, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Phenobarbital, Amoxapine, Bupropion, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Amoxapine, Paroxatine, Fluoxetine, Temazepam, Gabapentin, Depakote,Cyclosporine etc. ) I am disabled!
Company was preventing creation of any medical records related to employee’s side effects associated with products exposure.
Approximately 3 weeks after ingesting the generic version of the drug, Lois Ann Colacicco committed suicide. Decedent had ingested Apotex’s generic equivalent of Paxil. Soon after, she began taking the generic version of the drug, paroxetine hydrochloride, which is a bio-equivalent of Paxil and manufactured by Apotex Lois Colacicco committed suicide in her home . Often tablets have too much of active ingredient or do not have at all.
Adverse reactions are most likely to occur when starting or discontinuing the drug, increasing or lowering the dose or when switching from one SSRI to another. Adverse reactions are often diagnosed as bipolar disorder when the symptoms may be entirely iatrogenic (treatment induced). Withdrawal, especially abrupt withdrawal, from any of these medications can cause severe neuropsychiatric and physical symptoms. It is important to withdraw extremely slowly from these drugs, often over a period of a year or more, under the supervision of a qualified and experienced specialist, if available. Company adicted me to many dangerous actives by unprotected exposure and discarded me while I become very sick and prevented me from obtaining any help!
There are cases of bizarre behavior, school shootings/incidents, road rage tragedies, air rage incidents, postpartum depression cases, MANY murders (homicides/ murder-suicides) and other acts of violence including workplace violence.
There is a grave concern among advocates that adverse reactions are greatly underestimated by the public, the medical profession, and the regulatory authorities. Each of these stories can be interpreted as an adverse reaction and in most cases evidence of bizarre behavioral change consistent with drug reaction. In some stories causation is acknowledged and the juxtaposition of these stories with those where it goes unrecognized as well as the repetition of themes and circumstances is chilling. If indeed medications played a significant role in all these tragedies, then this is a public health problem of epidemic proportions on a global scale.
All patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the initial few months of a course of drug therapy, or at times of dose changes, either increases or decreases.Patients, their families, and their caregivers should be encouraged to be alert to the emergence of anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia (psychomotor restlessness), hypomania, mania, other unusual changes in behavior, worsening of depression, and suicidal ideation, especially early during antidepressant treatment and when the dose is adjusted up or down. Families and caregivers of patients should be advised to look for the emergence of such symptoms on a day-to-day basis, since changes may be abrupt. Such symptoms should be reported to the patient’s prescriber or health professional, especially if they are severe, abrupt in onset, or were not part of the patient’s presenting symptoms. Symptoms such as these may be associated with an increased risk for suicidal thinking and behavior and indicate a need for very close monitoring and possibly changes in the medication. Antidepressants have been recognized as potential inducers of mania and psychosis since their introduction in the 1950s. Described psychosis as an adverse effect of the older tricyclic antidepressant imipramine. Since the introduction of Prozac in December, 1987, there has been a massive increase in the number of people taking antidepressants. Over 200,000 people a year enter a hospital with antidepressant-associated mania and/or psychosis. The subsequent harm from this prescribing can be seen .

Is the Pharmaceutical Corporation the -Enemy within?
At the time, when all levels of society are focusing on Environmental issues, some Organizations and Government Agencies are forwarding initiatives to control Toxic Substances, IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS ADDRESSING Safety of labour force to keep it healthy , productive and competitive in the Global reality/ economy, some corporations are ignoring Laws of the land and all directives.
President of the Company and Executive Group imposed strict confidentiality on every thing what was going on with in Company.
On daily bases this situation/request created communication difficulties among people and Departments.
Luck of communication and accountability created fertile environment for unlawful activities.
It become routine, that by choice Company started to instate in position of power individuals with out any pharmaceutical experience, with out basic knowledge of principles governing functions with in pharmaceutical industry/capacity.
Often individuals in charge of HR and production processes where arrogant, ignorant, in conflict of interest and dangerous in their decisions/actions.
Safety wasn’t a priority any more.
Chase after business, economical and legal issues was on the forefront.
For me and many other employees it become matter of survival to act with in and try to reinforce compliance / enforcement of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations.
Company is a work place with out a Collective Agreement.
Every time I raised in open manner safety or product quality issues, individuals in charge of me (with participation of upper management) did threaten, disrespect, intimidate, expose to active product with out any protection as punishment, terrorized me and at the end when I was very sick dismiss me in very unprofessional/deceiving manner.
For 6.5 years I worked with active ingredients not protected by any safety equipment.
On regular bases I was requesting issuance of such protection and for so long my requests where neglected. I never had any hardware issued.
New products were so potent that latex/rubber gloves where dissolving on contact and product use to create horribly painful sores. Personnel worked with those products with out any protection at all. On one circumstance on night shift I was called to attend emergency situation in one of the process Rooms.
As soon I arrived I noticed an Operator unconscious on the floor.
When I pulled him out of the Process Room (the rooms looked as Nazi gas chambers) by the legs he was disposed off by his follow Taliban Operators. Apotex selected to employ Taliban/ Alquida, facilitated and nurtured their culture in the facility (organized pray rooms). Apotex did allow Taliban / Alquida to organize and work with out any restrictions / supervision with highly potent controlled substances / narcotics (no production supervision of any kind, no in process quality control of any kind, no quality control of incoming materials of any kind, no adequate sanitation of equipment/product holding bins etc.) Dedicated equipment used for multi products. Apotex was exterminating employees of Taliban / Alquida orientation by not providing them with any product info and personal protection. That promoted products induced violence at work / antidepressant nightmares. (Withdrawal can often be more dangerous than continuing on a medication. It is important to withdraw extremely slowly from these drugs, usually over a period of a year or more, under the supervision of a qualified specialist). I was physically and verbally attacked many times at work / in Facility). Taliban did cause my right hand severe injury and time off work in 2001. As always Company did not report it to WSiB.
I believe that drugs produced during some periods of my employment killed more people world wide then military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan combined.
As All Operators and other Personnel I got massive exposure to unidentified product (s )- exposed to chemicals in processes.
The issue/problem becomes politically sensitive and concluding it in lawful manner is in the best interest of General Public.
I would like to know, whether Ontario become safe haven for big Corporations engaged in criminal activities?
How this happened, that private Corporation controls Lawyers, Doctors, Government Agencies etc.?
Apotex is defiant, not regretful, with out remorse, not willing to correct wrong doings.
Apotex will continue to be a treat to society / general public, all sick people and those who in the future will become dependant on medications produced in such manner.
Company terrorized by many means any one / other employees voicing concerns about issues with Safety and quality of the products (attempted murder of one in process Quality Control female. Her lunch sandwiches were contaminated with white powder and papers).
Employees worked with out any PPE(Personal Protection Equipment) and sustained sever injuries on daily bases.
Company did not provide First Aid materials and employees had to supply themselves in “One dollar stores “ with chip medical supply which on regular bases were ending up in the products.
I communicated my will to supply them with proper materials on my own. I wanted to prevent Operators suffer and product contamination.
So far Company’s misconduct went unpunished.
We need to achieve the objectives of retribution, deterrence and denunciation of Company’s misconduct to deter the Company and others from similar misconduct in the future and to mark the community’s collective condemnation.

November 9, 2004 -TORONTO — Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty today celebrated the official opening of four new Apotex pharmaceutical facilities in Ontario. The facilities represent the largest pharmaceutical investment in Canadian history.
“This is a great day for our province, a vote of confidence in the people of Ontario,” said Premier McGuinty as he attended the official opening of the new facility in Etobicoke. “This major investment dovetails beautifully with our plan for Ontario because it’s an investment in our people’s skills, our people’s prosperity and our people’s health. It will help ensure Ontario is the place to be for years to come.”
Well, after all Apotex turned out to be bigger producer and trafficker of contaminated / restricted actives then Mexican Cartel or Afghanistan’s Thora Bora Region producers!
Only Nazis can complete in investments on such scale to exterminate people. The difference is only in this, that Nazis admitted their goal.
Apotex pretends, to be miracle Pharmacy providing affordable alternatives for sick people.
SHAME ON THOSE, WHO MISSED ON DETECTING PROBLEMS!

I am suffering a great deal with life threatening medical conditions not able to afford groceries, needed medications nor to pay any of my financial dues.
*The extraordinarily lucrative pharmaceutical industry has long been driven more by profit, power and policy then pills or concern to Health and Safety.
There is much moral posturing in an industry that is only too well aware, that it capitalizes on a captive market of the desperate and the afflicted.
*It is important to differentiate in between an accident and a crime (criminal, methodical negligence). Torpharm/Apotex got engaged in intentional malicious conduct violating all statutes with a reckless indifference.
They deliberately acted with knowledge of a high degree of probability of serious harm to me and reckless indifference to the consequences of that act.
It acted in the face of a perceived risk that its actions will violate all laws.
We are faced with unethical corporation that engaged in illegal production of prohibited products, violated all rules of the corporate system and in the process sacrificed health of own employees.
We did have on daily bases incidents/accidents and substantial product spills.
In manufacturing area we were encapsulating / compressing very many products on daily bases (spontaneously /parallel).
On each piece of equipment/system we were running different product.
On regular bases particular machine was changed over to different product/ format in the same day.
Maintenance Technicians/Mechanics were not limited (as stated by Company’s witness) to service only outside of machines, but for most of cases inside of machines and in particular in process compartments where tooling was installed and product discharged.
On/in all cases of any equipment failure or problem with quality of the product (hardness, thickness, contamination etc.) was followed with direct and prolonged Technician’s/Mechanic’s unprotected exposure.
On regular bases Technician/Mechanic had to spend hours at the time running and tuning machines to the proper speck due to fact that hired Operators did not have any prior pharmaceutical/mechanical experience and could not correct the problems (even minor ) on their own. On regular bases Operators did run away if the failure /spill occurred.
Due to introduction of dangerous products all employees in Quality Dept, all in Sanitation Dept, all in Manufacturing Dept., all in Maintenance Dept. and so on left the Company and Company was not able to recruit qualified candidates. This situation created total collapse of compliance with any and all of GMP, SOP Safety regulations.
To great extend, absence of qualified /responsible Personnel, Company’s big financial problems (expansion, Legal liabilities, pending processing of approvals of new products) exhausted/collapsed Company’s financial fluidity and prevented Company from supply of base items (toilet paper, gloves, eye protection, protective uniforms, masks, you name it, etc.)
Because of total chaos in all areas and non compliance, Company instated in positions (key positions like safety) individuals not qualified /not willing to voice any constructive opinions.
As result of Torpharm/Apotex’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect) I AM DISABLE. For many years Company melted and boiled chemicals in hundred of pounds at the time in order to challenge existing /valid Patents of Brand Name’s by process ( Cyclosporin- Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressant used originally to prevent the rejection of transplanted kidneys, continues to be recommended for a variety of organ transplants, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric), antidepressants and narcotics which I worked with: PAXIL, Lavitra, Plavix, Bupropion, Gabapentin, Gemfibrosil, Metformin, Omeprazole, Temazepam/Etodolac, Metroprolol , Norvasc, Depakote and other brain function controlling drugs and antidepressants, narcotics blood composition and pressure controlling drugs etc.).
Those processes were conducted in /on not approved equipment and in manufacturing area not approved for such operations.
Also I got massive and unprotected exposure to unidentified product (s ) in / during out of control accident (we did have many accidents) when one of not approved new products proved to be volatile and during process exploded causing inferno, burning/baking for period of time while releasing toxic fumes and causing collateral damage to equipment and infrastructure.
BEYOND ANY DOUBT I WAS EXPOSED TO THE DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES WITH OUT ANY PROTECTION AND THAT THEY CAUSED THE ADVERSE EFFECTS AND INJURIES I NOW SUFFER (Documented).
As result of Company’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect -Depakote/ Divalproex Sodium, Diazepam, Clonazepam, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbital, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Phenobarbital, Amoxapine, Bupropion, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Amoxapine, Paroxatine, Fluoxetine, Temazepam, Gabapentin, Depakote,Cyclosporine etc. ) I am suffering skin discoloration, sinuses and respiratory ailments (fluid in upper lungs). I am suffering from severe hypertension (which at the present is out of control - BP 235/135) and due to it as well as chemicals effect my hearth was damaged, migraine headaches, joints and back pains, nervous system effects (state of mental turmoil, compromised motor skills, compromised speech mechanism, memory elapses etc.), vision problems (constant presence of a black spot in eyes which may indicate minor stroke effect/hemorrhage or Depakote’s side effects etc.) my heir turned white under psychiatric drugs, kidney pain and changes, enhanced risk of cancer, and fear of cancer.
I experience a feeling of general discomfort and sickness; weakness, trouble breathing, unusual drowsiness, dizziness or light-headedness; unusual / unexplained stomach upsets, the sudden development of a slow or irregular heartbeat.
I have serious concerns about the safety of the levels of exposure. My worry is that a toxic build up of the drugs and/or its metabolites can be fatal. Some of the side effects I experience include infections, nausea, dry mouth, constipation, decreased appetite, sleepiness, dizziness, sexual side effects, nervousness, tremor, yawning, sweating, abnormal vision, weakness, insomnia, including electric shock sensations, abnormal dreams, agitation, anxiety, nausea, mood fluctuations, headache, fatigue, sleep disturbances, skin rash, anorexia, leg pain , joint pain , muscle pain, pain in arms and legs, abdominal cramps, body chronic pain, medication taste, sore throat, also effects include vomiting, rash, flu-like symptoms.
I am suffering a great deal with life threatening medical conditions not able to afford groceries, needed medications nor to pay any of my financial dues. I am not able to perform any chores around my residence, forced to relay on assistance. I was “swimming in” / a massive exposure with out any protection to a potent immunosuppressant used for organ transplants, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric), antidepressants and narcotics which overwhelmed my system.
Toxic build up of the drugs and/or its metabolites can be fatal.
I AM ON MULTIPLE MEDICATIONS BEING AFRAID OF UNCERTAIN TOMMOROW.
The evidence proves that alleged facts were true.
Company, with its mandate to bring relief / help to people suffering from many medical conditions did make me disable ( work related medical conditions) limiting my professional and personal life, making challenging my social life, destroyed my marriage, imposed extreme hardship on my family and relatives/friends, indirectly killed two of my elderly parents (since they learned about my situation they suddenly died few weeks a part - I was sole provider) and in vicious / malicious manner on on going bases is preventing me from enjoying my Constitutional Right to be able to provide for myself.
Some Doctors are vigorously complaining about my non compliance in treatment, but they failed to acknowledge , that despite my cautioning about my saturation with chemicals and need on their behalf to be very selective with prescribing any treatments , they treated me with array of drugs for a illusionary condition which I did not have . I underwent number of tests (amongst in Nuclear Physics Lab) which conformed that I do not have any tumors.
Many Doctor’s statements are ridiculing and consciously ignoring fact , that my medical conditions are directly related to prolonged and unprotected exposure to drugs at work ( 6.5 years). Despite my repeated attempts to focus Doctors attention on the real source of my problems, most Doctors refused to talk about work connection with my conditions.
It was clinically proven, that such potent and unpredictable in effect drugs like Bupropion, Tramadol Hydrochloride (Serious potential consequences of over dosage with tramadol hydrochloride tablets are central nervous system depression, respiratory depression and death), Cyclosporine (a potent immunosuppressant), PAXIL (crystalline paroxetine hydrochloride hemihydrate) and many more in fact do cost all medical conditions I do suffer right now.
The human nervous system is particularly vulnerable to toxic-chemical insults. Many chemicals can permanently disrupt nervous system function.
Do cause emergence of anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia (psychomotor restlessness), hypomania, mania, other unusual changes in behavior, worsening of depression, and suicidal ideation, especially early during antidepressant treatment and when the dose is adjusted up or down. Families and caregivers of patients should be advised to look for the emergence of such symptoms on a day-to-day basis, since changes may be abrupt. Symptoms such as these may be associated with an increased risk for suicidal thinking and behavior. There has been a long-standing concern, that antidepressants may have a role in inducing worsening of depression and the emergence of suicidality in certain patients during the early phases of treatment.
Withdrawal can often be more dangerous than continuing on a medication. It is important to withdraw extremely slowly from these drugs, usually over a period of a year or more, under the supervision of a qualified specialist. Antidepressants have been recognized as potential inducers of mania and psychosis. Is reported that over 200,000 people a year enter a hospital with antidepressant-associated mania and/or psychosis.
Adverse reactions are most likely to occur when starting or discontinuing the drug, increasing or lowering the dose or when switching from one SSRI to another. Adverse reactions are often diagnosed as bipolar disorder when the symptoms may be entirely iatrogenic (treatment induced). Withdrawal, especially abrupt withdrawal, from any of these medications can cause severe neuropsychiatric and physical symptoms (which do have bearing on cardiovascular system and many more). I was addicted to many of those drugs and abruptly withdrawn by Company. FDA published a Public Health Advisory that reiterates several of these side effects and states (in part) “Anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for major depressive disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and non-psychiatric.” PAXIL interacts with other Inhibitors. Paroxetine will elevate plasma levels of thioridazine etc.
Use of / exposure to antipsychotic drugs and IV drug abuse of MPTP which inhibits the function of mitochondria within the nerve cells of the brain, Environmental toxins may play a role in Parkinson’s disease. Exposure to psychiatric / antidepressants drugs may potentially cause symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.
Adverse reactions to psychiatric / antidepressant medications (treatment induced) are often diagnosed as bipolar disorder when the symptoms may be entirely iatrogenic (treatment induced).
Antidepressant induced violence / suicide at work is documented.
In my case many Doctors are taking advantage of a sick and impaired individual, not able to effectively / aggressively defend himself in articulated manner due to medical condition (compromised speech mechanism and other neurological problems).
Many Doctors are DESPERATELY TRYING TO ATTRIBUTE MY COMPLEX WORK RELATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS TO ANY AND ALL MEDICAL CONDITIONS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE IN ORDER TO GET AN EXCUSE TO UNDERMINE MY CLAIM.
Apotex falsified all records provided by them to WSiB and engaged its employees in criminal conspiracy (documented).
Which untimely further deteriorates my state of health.
Many individuals involved in my Case purposely are omitting very critical evidence and medical conditions (or are reducing it in to insignificance).
Please focus on 7 years of my unprotected work with toxic / controlled substances/narcotics , which are known to cause my conditions even in dosages regularly prescribed by Doctors and much more/worse if over dosed.
Please start to question harmful molecules which Company processed not reviling nature /name of them and keeping in confidentiality Work Orders and Safety Data Sheets as well not providing any protection for employees.
Apotex did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representation in a matter within the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labor Board, WSiB (Workers Compensation Insurance Board), Ontario Human Rights Commission, Ontario Health Act, Ontario Labor Law as well obstructed Canadian Constitution etc.
Apotex committed many counts of perverting the course of justice or intending to pervert the course of justice, many counts of perjury, criminal conspiracy, criminal negligence, criminal recruitment of false witnesses, attempted murder, did cause permanent disability, irreparable damage.
Company terrorized by many means any one / other employees voicing concerns about issues with Safety and quality of the products.

I MAY REPEAD SOME INFORMATION IN MY CHAPTERS, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF INDEPENDENT LETTERS / COMMUNICATIONS WITH GOVERNAMENT AGENCIES.
I am suffering a great deal with life threatening medical conditions not able to afford groceries, needed medications nor to pay any of my financial dues.
*The extraordinarily lucrative pharmaceutical industry has long been driven more by profit, power and policy then pills or concern to Health and Safety.
There is much moral posturing in an industry that is only too well aware, that it capitalizes on a captive market of the desperate and the afflicted.
*It is important to differentiate in between an accident and a crime (criminal, methodical negligence). Torpharm/Apotex got engaged in intentional malicious conduct violating all statutes with a reckless indifference.
They deliberately acted with knowledge of a high degree of probability of serious harm to me and reckless indifference to the consequences of that act.
It acted in the face of a perceived risk that its actions will violate all laws.
We are faced with unethical corporation that engaged in illegal production of prohibited products, violated all rules of the corporate system and in the process sacrificed health of own employees.
We did have on daily bases incidents/accidents and substantial product spills.
In manufacturing area we were encapsulating / compressing very many products on daily bases (spontaneously /parallel).
On each piece of equipment/system we were running different product.
On regular bases particular machine was changed over to different product/ format in the same day.
Maintenance Technicians were not limited (as stated by Company’s witness) to service only “outside of machines”, but for most of cases inside of machines and in particular in process compartments where tooling was installed and product discharged.
On/in all cases of any equipment failure or problem with quality of the product (hardness, thickness, contamination etc.) was followed with direct and prolonged Technician’s unprotected exposure.
On regular bases Technician had to spend hours at the time running and tuning machines to the proper speck due to fact that hired Operators did not have any prior pharmaceutical/mechanical experience and could not correct the problems (even minor ) on their own. On regular bases Operators did run away if the failure /spill occurred.
Due to introduction of dangerous products all employees in Quality Dept, all in Sanitation Dept, all in Manufacturing Dept., all in Maintenance Dept and so on left the Company and Company was not able to recruit qualified candidates. This situation created total collapse of compliance with any and all of GMP, SOP and Safety regulations.
To great extend, absence of qualified /responsible Personnel, Company’s big financial problems (expansion, Legal liabilities, pending processing of approvals of new products) exhausted/collapsed Company’s financial fluidity and prevented Company from supply of base items (toilet paper, gloves, eye protection, protective uniforms, masks, you name it, etc.). We did have cases, when Operators urinated in to the floor drains in process Rooms during production runs etc…..:)
Because of total chaos in all areas and non compliance, Company instated in positions (key positions like management, safety etc.) individuals not qualified /not willing to voice any constructive opinions.
As result of Torpharm/Apotex’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect) I AM DISABLE. For many years Company melted and boiled / processed chemicals in hundred of pounds at the time in order to challenge existing /valid Patents of Brand Name’s by process ( Cyclosporin- Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressant used originally to prevent the rejection of transplanted kidneys, continues to be recommended for a variety of organ transplants – Company did not have ISOLATION areas nor any other compliance to process it so in order to keep processing it , Company apparently managed to changed its CLASSIFICATION and Personnel walked in it as in the sand on the shore beach with out any protection, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric), antidepressants and narcotics which I worked with: PAXIL, Lavitra, Plavix, Bupropion, Gabapentin, Gemfibrosil, Metformin, Omeprazole, Temazepam/Etodolac, Metroprolol , Norvasc, Depakote and other brain function controlling drugs and antidepressants, narcotics blood composition and pressure controlling drugs etc.).
Those processes were conducted in /on not approved equipment and in manufacturing area not approved for such operations.
Also I got massive and unprotected exposure to unidentified product (s ) in / during out of control accident (we did have many accidents) when one of not approved new products proved to be volatile and during process exploded causing inferno, burning/baking for period of time while releasing toxic fumes and causing collateral damage to equipment and infrastructure. For many days Company did not procide with any clean up or secureing of contaminated area due to Ministry of Labor apparent investigation.
BEYOND ANY DOUBT I WAS EXPOSED TO THE DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES WITH OUT ANY PROTECTION AND THAT THEY CAUSED THE ADVERSE EFFECTS AND INJURIES I NOW SUFFER (Documented).
As result of Company’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect I am suffering skin discoloration, sinuses and respiratory ailments (fluid in upper lungs). I am suffering from severe hypertension (which at the present is out of control - BP 235/135) and due to it as well as chemicals effect my hearth was damaged, migraine headaches, joints and back pains, nervous system effects (state of mental turmoil, compromised motor skills, compromised speech mechanism, memory elapses etc.), vision problems (constant presence of a black spots in eyes which may indicate minor stroke effect/hemorrhage or Depakote’s side effects etc.) my heir turned white under psychiatric drugs, kidney pain and changes, enhanced risk of cancer, and fear of cancer.

*-Company’s conduct was planned and deliberate,
- Company’s intend and motive was clear,
- The defendant persisted in the outrageous conduct over a lengthily period of time,
- The defendant attempted to conceal and cover up its conduct,
- Defendant was aware that what it was doing was wrong,
- The defendant profited from its misconduct,
- Defendant knew that violation was deeply personal to me (the plaintiff),
- Company understood my financial vulnerability,
No Justice System is allowing a Criminal to fabricate an alibi/evidence.
Due to such approach by WSiB and some other Agencies, TorPharm/Apotex so boldly breaks the Law and flourishes on their path of crime.
Overlooking their activities is like being an accessory to the crimes and this is against Public’s best interest.
-IN ONTARIO PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY IS COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!!!!!
-AT THE PRESENT, DUE TO LAW /REGULATIONS WHOLE CONCEPT OF GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS IS CRIMINAL IN ITS NATURE.
-GENERIC COMPANY IN ORDER TO COME UP WITH OWN GENERIC VERSION OF BRAND NAME
PRODUCT, OFTEN MUST WORK IN STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY ON IT PRIOR TO SECURING ITS RIGHTS TO THE GENERIC PRODUCT ITSELF AND RIGHTS TO MARKET IT.
- FORMULATION AND DEVELOPMENT/ MFG IS DONE ON EQUIPMENT NOT QUALIFIED/ VALIDATED FOR PARTICULAR PRODUCT.
-OFTEN FACILITY IS NOT APPROVED BY REGULATORS FOR SUCH OPERATION AND WITH OUT PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT ( PPE ) FOR PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN PRODUCTION OF OFTEN VERY DANGEROUS /POTENT GENERIC PRODUCTS etc.
-GENERIC COMPANYS CAN NOT ADMIT THEIR ACTIVITIES / PRODUCTION SO FORTH THEY CAN NOT UPGRADE THEIR FACILITIES AND TAKE PROCAUTIONS TO DEAL WITH NEW PRODUCT REQUIREING SPECIAL HANDLING AND CONDITIONS.
- GENERIC PRODUCT COMPANYS ARE NOT INVENTING RECIPIES NOR THEY DO DEVELOP MOLECULES.
-GENERIC COMPANIES DO OLTHER MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND CHALLANGE EXISTING PATENTS BY PROCESS. OFTEN THE INGREDIENTS ARE COMING FROM QUESTIONABLE SOURCES OR COMPANY’S OWN SOURCES HEAVILY CONTAMINATED OR OF VERY LOW QUALITY AND ARE USED IN PRODUCTION OF PRODUCTS DESTINE FOR OFTEN VERY VULNERABLE SICK PEOPLE PAYING BIG DOLLAR FOR MEDICATION WHICH SUPPOSE TO HELP ?!
-YEARS OF CLAIMED TIME FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, GENERIC COMPANYS SPEND ON SECRET MANUFACTURING OF VOLUMES OF PRODUCT .
COMPANY STRIVES TO MFG AS HUGE AS POSSIBLE VOLUME OF PRODUCT IN ORDER TO FLOAT MARKET WITH IT IN A VERY DEFINED LEGISLATED PERIOD OF TIME - 180 DAYS OF EXCLUSIVITY IN ORDER TO SECURE MAXIMAL PROFIT.
Why present problems with Aporex (non compliance, contamination, investigation etc.) are not on the news.
COVER UP? General Public kept oblivious about crimes being committed against it by Apotex.

“To all injured workers:
First of all the Meredith principle states that all moneys are to be paid out of the fund this includes the wages of the Board members and case workers adjudicators. Can you imagine our surprise? When we found out that the tax payer is really footing the bill this has been written in the Toronto star and several other publications and admitted to by a Toronto MP.
This tells us that the Government has broken the Meredith agreement and they cannot claim to be arms length away from the Workers Compensation boards any longer because they are direct stakeholders in it and have been committing fraud against the very public that pays the bills in reality they have made the public stakeholders in these boards as well.
Our relatives, the ones that are paying taxes are paying these caseworkers and adjudicators to torment and abuse injured workers.
And the employers that are paying into the fund are really getting ripped off because they are paying the bill twice because they all pay personal income taxes plus business taxes and they have to pay into the fund in order to do business.
But the real sad fact is we need to get our acts together and fight these people with every trick in the book. We have to sign petitions organize protest get t-shirts made up like Mike Beauchamp did dammed good idea. Whining and snivelling does no good I know your in pain and your life has been screwed up so has mine people have to get past the dark thoughts and focus on the light and that light is either reforming or destroying the WCB.
I have a petition to get rid of the privative clauses out of the Workers’ Compensation Acts’. The section of the act called (Jurisdiction Of The Board) now you may think what good will that do but as it now stands even if you take your case to the Supreme the only thing they can do is send it back to the WCB to look at it again but if we get rid of this clause where they are protected by a Provincial Act of the legislature then we have a chance.
I will be taking this petition not to the government because we know that they will ignore it but to the United Nations if we can embarrass these people on the world stage then maybe we will be able to force them to make a change.
This is my petition link ”

I want to reassure publishers and viewers that all information / allegations included in my chapters are true.
I am not suffering from any delusional disorder / paranoid disorder as Company, some Government Agencies and some Doctors like to suggest. I never had any family history of psychiatric, cardiovascular nor any other medical problems. Under Company’s influence I was and am treated for illusionary conditions which I do not have. Doctors forced me to under go hearth, kidneys, eye surgeries etc. to deal on interim bases with my health issues, totally ignoring the source / triggering mechanisms for the problems. (I did not obey).
All my info is backed up by evidence and collaborated by witnesses.
Due to fact, that many of the products I worked with are psychiatric / antidepressants, narcotics etc., time ago I went to a psychiatrist to inquire in more collaborated way about side effects of such medications and possible duration of such side effects. Many chemicals can permanently disrupt nervous system function. Adverse reactions are often diagnosed as bipolar disorder when the symptoms are entirely iatrogenic (treatment / exposure induced).
Psychiatrist issued a statement conforming, that I am not a “nut”/ “mental case” and that I am stating the truths.
Time ago Company posted internal Memo for employees stating, that Dr. Olivieri (“The dispute began after researcher Dr Nancy Olivieri decided to break a confidentiality agreement with Apotex, a Toronto based pharmaceutical company that was sponsoring her research. She published results critical of the drug deferiprone, which she was testing in young patients with thalassaemia, in the New England Journal of Medicine (1998;339:417-23).
Dr Olivieri, former head of the hospital’s haemoglobinopathy programme, was threatened with legal action by Apotex and also removed from her hospital post, though she was later reinstated (BMJ 1999;318:351) “ is a “mental case “.She was brave enough to revile dangerous side effects of the product she conducted Clinical Trials on, then I suppose am in good company of deformed / slandered by Company individuals.
Only after Dr.Olivieri lost her Case in European Court and product was approved for General Public, then only after that Company admitted that we worked on this product for many years. (with out neither employees knowledge nor personal protection).
Andrew
Please note, that during years of my communication with variety of Government Agencies I did spend a lot of money ( which I had to borrow) on office supply , postage and miscellaneous items associated with my case.
My Application to Tribunal ALONE required almost 3000 pages of printed / copied material, plus binders and Registered postage etc.( RESPONDENTS’ - a few pages at the time).
After years of investigation Ministry of Labor, Ontario Ombudsmen etc. did not have any documents in my File , accept what I did submit!
With assistance of Government Agencies, Apotex managed to turn tables around and against Criminal Code , Occupational Health and SafetyAct obligated me ( a victim ) to produce / provide all information / evidence , swamping me with administrative tasks and huge challenges, redirecting my non existent resources to challenge dysfunctional System.
All Government Agencies including Tribunal did not assist me in any of my efforts to get situation in order and in compliance with CANADIAN JUSTICE SYSTEM.
Contrarily, many Agencies engaged in criminal activities.
Apotex must be proud of their cooperative / criminal performance.
That was one of the Apotex’s and Agential Accomplice’s tactic - to destroy me economically and deteriorate my health to the point of fatality.
So far, also Tribunal did not help me with financial assistance and guidance to REASSURE SUCCESS OF MY CASE ( against Tribunal’s mandate ).
Any , even very minor administrative deviation on my behalf did and does trigger stagnation of proceedings and excuse to impose artificial barriers on my path to justice.
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES SUPPOSE TO COUCHED ME, NOT TO BASHED ME .
DELAYS IN RESOLVING OF MY CASE RAPIDLY DETERIORATE APOTEX’S SITUATION and credibility of Ontario’s System/Governament.
My story, Dr.Olivieri’s and few other stories are perfect material for a horror Hollywood movie.
Wonder, if that will see Theater’s screens?
My story all ready generated a lot of interest in Europe and USA despite fact, that I am keeping all evidence secret.
With time, (Class Action, FBI etc.) I may get Court Order to testify.
Andrew
Transfer of R&D to India does not impact COMPLIANCE!
Simply SOP, GMP, HYGIENE ARE NOT A PART OF Apotex’s Culture.
“Question, where are the regulators in Canada and why did they not catch this?”
Canadian Regulators did their “inspections” sitting down in the Office and enjoying good time on Company’s expense.
Time to get real in area, where Public Safety is at stake!
Company controls Government Agencies, Doctors and Lawyers.
Big BUSINESS RUNS GOVERNMENTS!!!!!
Pharmaceutical business is the most profitable, recession resistant venture and it makes huge profits in expense of General Public’s health.
ALL CHEMICALS ARE BEING CONVERTED / DECLARED A “MIRACLE MEDICATIONS” FOR ANY / SOME MEDICAL CONDITIONS.
MIRACLE MEDICATIONS TRIGGER MORE DEVASTATION IN HUMAN BODY THEN GOOD.
PUBLIC IS OVER MEDICATED DUE TO OVER PRESCRIPTIONS PADDLED BY BIG PHARMA.!!!!!!
Andrew
Dear Sir/Madam,
Apotex subjected me to disabling and deadly withdrawal effects associated with Paxil and other products Apotex exposed me to.
What a crime it was to drop me off “cold turkey” when I was withdrawn creating additional damage and leading me into an additional serotonin nightmare. Apotex did not allow me to withdraw gradually?
Apotex, who exposes own employees to these extremely addictive drugs with out any protection, with no warning of the addictive properties should be held accountable for the results of that lack of warning and criminal negligence. Withdrawal from these serotonergic antidepressants, according to the World Health Organization, appears to be even worse than the benzodiazaphines - which already have one of the worst reputations for serious withdrawal.
When we know that Ecstasy withdrawal can plunge users into the depths of depression we should not be the least bit surprised to learn that any of its chemical cohorts can do the same in withdrawal. All are serotonergic agents Paxil, etc. - with similar effects due to the increase of serotonin and decrease of serotonin metabolism that they produce.
When one understands the steroid effect brought on by an increase in serotonin it is not difficult to see that the initiation of use of these drugs should be very gradual as should the discontinuation be a very gradual process.
People have suffered severe side-effects when they tried to stop taking or being exposed to such drugs.
The Los Angeles law firm have records of people addictions to such drugs, which are known in the US as Paxil. The side-effects they suffer when they try to stop taking the tablets, include jolting pains in the head, vertigo, loss of coordination, abdominal discomfort, agitation and confusion.
Most people are told by the doctors, that their problems are the symptoms of their depression re-appearing and do not suspect that the drug might be to blame.
Benzodiazapines - including Valium, Librium and Ativan, which were also said not to be addictive when they were launched.
Withdrawal symptoms, including gastrointestinal and somatic complaints, sleep disturbances, movement disorders and psychological symptoms, are reported to occur in up to 30 percent of patients who abruptly discontinue SSRIs. While reports of antidepressant withdrawal syndromes first appeared in the late 1970s with the tricyclic antidepressants, investigators have recently reported withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation of such drugs, suggesting that withdrawal syndromes may occur with any available antidepressant.
Many people have suffered from severe withdrawal reactions as a result of taking the antidepressant Paxil.
Thousands of Paxil users who have suffered from withdrawal reactions and dependency/withdrawal syndrome.
Each has experienced similar withdrawal reactions and problems such as: jolting electric “zaps,” dizziness, light-headedness, vertigo, in-coordination, gait disturbances, sweating, extreme nausea, vomiting, high fever, abdominal discomfort, flu symptoms, anorexia, diarrhea, agitation, tremulousness, irritability, aggression, sleep disturbance, nightmares, tremor, confusion, memory and concentration difficulties, lethargy, malaise, weakness, fatigue, paraesthesias, ataxia, and/or myalgia.
Paxil was introduced into the U.S. market on December 29, 1992, and is a well known antidepressant medication in the same class as Zoloft and Prozac (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or “SSRI’s”). Paxil is approved for marketing in the United States for conditions such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and “social anxiety disorder.”
Neither the patients nor the physicians expect these withdrawal reactions because the manufacturer has deliberately failed to warn of their potential occurrence.
Both physician and patient unwittingly commit to Paxil without knowing the drug’s addictive traits.
Neither I nor any of the employees were ever informed before starting work with Paxil and other products, that they were addictive, induced dependency, or created withdrawal reactions when dosage was reduced or terminated.
Paxil creates both physical and psychological dependency because Apotex has suppressed the information about the severe withdrawal reactions of its drugs, many employees and their physicians are fooled into thinking that the withdrawal reactions are caused by another condition (such as relapse), thus prompting further incorrect and unnecessary medical treatment, including increased dosages of Paxil.
Apotex has known for years the distinct characteristics of Paxil which make it prone to cause withdrawal reactions when discontinued. While The medical community has acknowledged the potential for all SSRI’s to cause dependency/withdrawal syndrome, Paxil is, by far, the worst. According to World Health Organization (”WHO”) data obtained by the plaintiff class members, Paxil has the highest incidence rate of withdrawal adverse experiences of any antidepressant drug in the world.
“Extreme difficulties caused by this drugs force people to remain on Paxil etc. because they are “hooked” and fear they cannot get off the drug,” says attorney Mary Schiavo.”
Apotex suppose to be charged with fraud and deceit, negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty and implied warranty etc.
The attorneys have stated, “The scariest part about this is that there are people out there trying to get off this drugs who are experiencing these horrible withdrawal reactions. They think its because of something wrong with them, when it’s really the Paxil - - and then they take even more and further exacerbate the problem!”
People from around the WORLD who say they suffered symptoms ranging from electric-like shocks to suicidal thoughts after discontinuing use of the drug.
When I stopped taking/ being exposed to those drugs … and it destroyed me. It almost killed me,”
Did you know that it has been discovered that Paxil and other drugs in the same class-selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI)-can cause a condition called akathisia (severe inner restlessness) that in turn is associated with suicidal tendencies? Apotex, maker of the popular generic antidepressant drug Paxil, have hidden dangerous facts about this drug.
Studies have shown that Paxil is highly addictive and carries many withdrawal symptoms ranging in severity from mild to extremely dangerous.
For many years Company melted and boiled chemicals in hundred of pounds at the time in order to challenge existing /valid Patents of Brand Name’s by process ( Cyclosporin- Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressant used originally to prevent the rejection of transplanted kidneys, continues to be recommended for a variety of organ transplants, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric), antidepressants and narcotics which I worked with: PAXIL, Lavitra, Plavix, Bupropion, Gabapentin, Gemfibrosil, Metformin, Omeprazole, Temazepam/Etodolac, Metroprolol , Norvasc, Depakote and other brain function controlling drugs and antidepressants, narcotics blood composition and pressure controlling drugs etc.).
Those processes were conducted in /on not approved equipment and in manufacturing area not approved for such operations.
Also I got massive and unprotected exposure to unidentified product (s ) in / during out of control accident (we did have many accidents) when one of not approved new products proved to be volatile and during process exploded causing inferno, burning/baking for period of time while releasing toxic fumes and causing collateral damage to equipment and infrastructure.
BEYOND ANY DOUBT I WAS EXPOSED TO THE DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES WITH OUT ANY PROTECTION AND THAT THEY CAUSED THE ADVERSE EFFECTS AND INJURIES I NOW SUFFER.
As result of Company’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect -Depakote/ Divalproex Sodium, Diazepam, Clonazepam, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbital, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Phenobarbital, Amoxapine, Bupropion, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Amoxapine, Paroxatine, Fluoxetine, Temazepam, Gabapentin, Depakote,Cyclosporine etc. ) I am suffering skin discoloration, sinuses and respiratory ailments ( fluid in upper lungs). I am suffering from severe hypertension ( which at the present is out of control - BP 235/135) and due to it as well as chemicals effect my hearth was damaged, migraine headaches, joints and back pains, nervous system effects (state of mental turmoil, compromised motor skills, compromised speech mechanism, memory elapses etc.), vision problems (constant presence of a black spot in eyes which may indicate minor stroke effect/haemorrhage or Depakote’s side effects etc.)my heir turned white under psychiatric drugs, kidnay pain and changes, enhanced risk of cancer, and fear of cancer.
I experience a feeling of general discomfort and sickness; weakness, trouble breathing, unusual drowsiness, dizziness or light-headedness; unusual / unexplained stomach upsets, the sudden development of a slow or irregular heartbeat.
I have serious concerns about the safety of the levels of exposure. My worry is that a toxic build up of the drugs and/or its metabolites can be fatal. Some of the side effects I experience include infections, nausea, diarrhoea, dry mouth, constipation, decreased appetite, sleepiness, dizziness, sexual side effects, nervousness, tremor, yawning, sweating, abnormal vision, weakness, insomnia, including electric shock sensations, abnormal dreams, agitation, anxiety, nausea, mood fluctuations, headache, fatigue, nervousness and sleep disturbances, skin rash, anorexia, leg pain, medication taste, sore throat, also effects include muscle pain, pain in arms and legs, abdominal cramps, vomiting, joint pain, rash, flu-like symptoms.
I am suffering a great deal with life threatening medical conditions not able to afford groceries, needed medications nor to pay any of my financial dues. I am not able to perform any chors around my residence , forced to relay on assistance.
Company got engaged in intentional malicious conduct violating all statutes with a reckless indifference.
It acted in the face of a perceived risk that its actions will violate all laws.

Andrew
Only in two years Apotex rejected 554 batches of product manufactured in facility in Ontario, Canada! (that’s where I worked).
Some of the rejected lots were shipped to USA.
There IS 554 rejected IDENTIFIED SO FAR.
NO RECORD OF CONTROLLED DESTRUCTION / RECICLING. (FDA –“However, your firm did not provide records of investigations for these batch failures.” This is regarding a December 10 -19, 2008 inspection of your drug product manufacturing facility in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada by Investigators Debra M. Emerson and Rochelle L. Campbell. The inspection revealed significant deviations from U.S. current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations (Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 210 and 211) in the manufacture of non-sterile oral solid dosage drug products. The CGMP deviations were listed on an Inspectional Observations (FDA-483) form issued to Ms. Carol M. Austin, Associate Director of Compliance, at the close of the inspection).
I AM CONFIDENT, THAT THOSE BATCHES WERE SOLD TO USA, AFRICA, ASIA, SOUTH AMERICA ETC.
There has also been a wider recall of 40 products in the US and some drugs have been withdrawn from the Australian market. Furthermore, Medsafe, the New Zealand regulatory agency, has joined the US in issuing a temporary import ban.
Documents / NOTES can not be lost / misplaced or “not maintained” in the pharmaceutical Company / Industry unless you do not generate any or purposely lose them. What about “good documentation practices”?
Policy mandatory in the Industry!!!!!?
Oh, right, Apotex has the Policy only for Authorities and to use it as a tool for propaganda.
Well, contrarily to Apotex I did observe the Policy in order to assist my ex- employer in achieving its vision / goals. Unfortunately, despite fact, that I utilized the Policy of “Good Documentation Practices” in good faith / into Company’s benefit, the Company punished me for it…
Company was #1 only because no one was checking any thing. No mechanisms in force to control SELF REGULATING PHARMACY!
For years sick people are turning 6′ under the ground due to contaminated medications!

To Registrar – Transition
Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario
Nov. 18/2009
Re: Alleged preliminary issues (Apotex / Counsel’s Letter dated November 17 /2009).
Dear Madam,
It is submitted , that in the Letter dated Nov 17 / 2009 Apotex / Counsel ignores all evidence / submissions and in its criminally twisted methodology attempts to reiterate fabricated information and alter Tribunal’s /Commission’s Judicial Process.
It is submitted, that Release Document was extorted.
• Forwarded by Counsel / Apotex request that this Application be dismissed on alleged preliminary bases is outrageous.
• In accordance with Human Rights Code no one ever can sign away ones own HUMAN RIGHTS on any circumstance (any conditions )-period. ( )
• Release Document Apotex invalidated by its own actions (it is not binding / legal due to reasons listed in previous communications).
• IT IS EXTREMELLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IN APENDIX “ A “ IN APOTEX’S RESPONSE TO MY APPLICATION UNDER SECTION 50 OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT BEFORE THE ONTARIO LABOUR RELATIONS BOARD (AS WELL AS BEFORE WSiB, HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, TRIBUNAL AND OTHER GOVERNAMENT AGENCIES) APOTEX /COUNSEL INCLUDES IN POINT 1 OF THE RESPOND “APOTEX / EMPLOYER DENIES EACH AND EVERY ALLEGATION (“OUTRAGEOUS ALLEGATIONS”) OF MISCONDUCT CONTAINED IN THE COMPLAINT AND PUTS THE COMPLEINANT TO THE STRICT PROOF THEREOF. THE EMPLOYER ALSO SUBMITS THAT THE COMPLEINT IS COMPLETELY WITH OUT MERIT AND OUT TO BE DISMISSED WITH OUT A HEARING FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.”
• IT IS SUBMITED THAT APOTEX’S CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR IS EXTREME SO FORTH IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF RETRIBUTION, DISCRIMINATION, HERRASEMENT, DENAIL OF MEDICAL HELP APOTEX /COUNSEL ADMITS ALL MY ALLEGATIONS (RESPONSE ON ALLEGED PRELIMINARY ISSUES, PAGE 3, OCT 22/2009 UNDER “JURISDICTION” ( ), BUT THIS TIME AROUND CLAIMING THAT THE ALLEGATIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS CODE.
• TROUGH OUT ALMOST 6 YEARS IN ALL RESPONSES TO ALL GOVERNAMENT AGENCIES APOTEX / COUNSEL CLAIMED THAT PARTICULAR ALLEGATIONS ARE NOT VIOLATIONS OF PARTICULAR AGENCY’S REGULATIONS.
• BASED ON HRONOLOGY OF EVENTS AND THE CONTENT OF APOTEX’S STATEMENTS ONE CAN CONCLUDE THAT IF MY CASE WOULD GO TO SUPREME COURT OR PUBLIC’S INQUIRY, FBI etc., THEN APOTEX WOULD STATE THAT IN FACT I WAS HERRASED, DISCRIMINATED, SUBJECTED TO RETRIBUTION etc. BUT THESE FACTS/ ACTS ARE NOT JURISDICTOION / MANDATE OF THOSE INSTITUTIONS.
• DUE TO APOTEX’S TORTURE, RETRIBUTION, DISCRIMINATION, HERRASEMENT DURRING MY EMPLOYMENT AND AFTER AND DENAIL OF MEDICAL HELP I SUSTAINED INJURIES AT WORK AND PERMANENT DISABILITIES SUFFERING A GREAT DEAL!
SIGNED RELEASE
- MY SIGNATURE UNDER “Release Document” was obtained as result of intimidation, pressure and by other not legal tactics / means (psychological / financial duress – both of my parents died few weeks earlier after they learned about my medical conditions as well as I was incapacitated /very sick).
- Apotex DRUGGED me up and DECEIVED.
I was under influence of psychiatric / antidepressants and narcotics at the time of occurrence and after with severely compromised speech mechanism and other neurological problems.
- I was coerced / fooled in to signing a Termination Agreement.
- Apotex subjected me to disabling and deadly withdrawal effects associated with products.
- Company abused my condition and committed crime against me.
- I was profoundly sick at the time of occurrence and after.
- I did not understand the terms and conditions of the Release Document.
- Apotex heavily incapacitated me and as result of it I was not in position to obtain any independent legal advice. (Apotex sabotaged all my attempts to obtain any legal advice/ support - documented).
- Based on chronology, nature of events and the content of the Release Document it is easy to conclude Apotex’s motive.
It is submitted , that Record of Employment was not presented to me at the time of criminal act of Termination but three (3 ) weeks after (it was mailed to me). The letter “M” on it was pointed out by Apotex’s Office Clerk processing my RRSP contributions and consequently discovered by my friends / family. I was still heavily incapacitated at that time.
The Release was every thing but just / fair as Respondent cleims. The “reasonable “severance was even not compliant with Employment Standards Act (completely without consideration for human rights breach).
In original Section 50 Occupational Health and Safety Application I was told by Labour Board what I should indicate in it.
As events proved, Board acted under Apotex/ Counsel’s criminal influence.
It is submitted, that such terminology (intimidation, duress etc.) was as well mentioned (defined ) in WSiB’s Application / Investigation. This time around it was not purged from my File.
The letter “M” on Record of Employment WAS ONE OF MANY FACTORS WHICH ADDITIONALLY INVALIDATED ALREADY INVALID / CRIMINAL RELEASE DOCUMENT. DECEIVE / ABANDONMENT WAS THE NEXT OF MANY FACTORS INDICATEING CRIMINAL MOTIVES AND BEHAVIOURS ON BEHALF OF APOTEX.
While incapacitated and very sick I signed a typical, broadly-worded release – the kind that attempts to bar any future actions from being brought, including complaints not yet filed or even contemplated. The Commission has approved at its meeting in March of 2006, and now published its Guide to Releases in Human Rights Complaints. This comprehensive guide should be guidance in assessing Apotex’s bad faith.
If I failed to indicate / quote any particular term (intimidated etc.) that does not mean that such term does not apply.
It does mean that I could not list all terms from the vocabulary / dictionary which do apply in to my circumstance due to adversary actions on behalf of Apotex and due to my medical condition.
It is submitted , that Apotex / Counsel should refrain from making any frivolous, vexatious , trivial , made in bad faith suggestions such as “ if the Applicant was intimidated , drugged, deceived into signing a Release it would have been front and centre in his Section 50 Application and the original Human Rights Complaint”. (bottom of the front page and top of the second page in the Letter dated Nov 17 / 2009).
It submitted, that respondent’s submissions concerning my Application contain ad hoc rationalizations to avoid finding out, that its activities are criminal and Respondent should be declared as the one committing crimes against humanity, committing acts of domestic and Global terrorism and should be investigated by Amnesty International, FBI, Ministry of Public Safety and trialed by Tribunal in Strasburg for such crimes. ( 554 Lots rejected in two years! No record where that stuff went! WHY? SOLD?!!!!!!!!
IN ONTARIO PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY IS COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!!!!)
Respondent should be declared an enemy within/ Publics enemy.
I believe that appropriate actions will be taken be Commission and a Tribunal.
It is submitted, that under pressure of such serious allegations (admited by Company’s Manager, witnesses and Respondent/ Counsel)Respondent will argue, that “a day is a night” and will invent its own definitions of terms to suit its own purpose as it did trough out legal processing of Dr. Olivieri’s Case (we have many examples documented by Authorities). Trivialized by Counsel “his own wording” was a recollection of facts by sick/ disabled/ suffering person couched by Government Agencies.
Extreme Delay
All my actions do constitute “good faith”.
It is submitted that there was not any delay (extreme?!) at all.
- I did not have any one knowledge in administrating of my Case and represent me ( no Union and I am profoundly sick / disable)’
- I was under influence / heavily impaired on psychiatric / antidepressants, narcotics and other potent medications before, during and after occurrence. Company in acts of retribution and criminal negligence exposed me to highly potent / dangerous toxic substances for 6.5 years period with out any Personal Protection Equipment.
- I was profoundly sick at the time of occurrence and after (I could not talk, hold a pan, walk, rationalize what was happening.
- Company abused my condition and committed crimes against me.
- Company deceived me with promises of a new job with out exposure to toxic substances at the time of occurrence and after.
- Apotex repeatedly stagnated and dragged in time (discovery process”) my Case. I was misguided in the process.
It is submitted that I did not failed to provide any evidence for a rationale of my argument ? I did forward many submissions after my Application in regard to Section 50 ,that is why my Application was processed successfully to the point of mediation and Registrar’s processing.
It was dismissed after one year of processing / delay tactics under Apotex’s criminal conspiracy.
It is submitted, that despite Counsel’s criminal definition of “prima Facie Case” my Case meets all criteria of Human Rights Code which originated from (amongst other factors) expressed in open manner (internally) my concerns in area of Health and Safety, conflict of interest as well product quality issues.
NO TIME LIMITATION ON HUMAN RIGHTS CASES
“The following is the text of the package of motions to amend Bill 107 which the Conservative Party presented to the Standing Committee on Justice Policy on November 29, 2006.
mot107pc.e
Motions package draft 5
Bill 107
An Act to amend the Human Rights Code
Motion to be moved in Committee
M
Section 6 of the Bill (clause 34 (2) (a) of the Human Rights Code)
I move that clause 34 (2) (a) of the Human Rights Code, as set out in section 6 of the Bill, be struck out.”
JURISDICTION –PRIMA FACIE CASE
All acts / facts do constitute a violation of the Human Rights Code.
I produced many particulars and statements which clearly established a Claim of discrimination on the bases of age, disability, ethnic origin, place of origin, reprisal and harassment.
I was terminated because of raised safety/ conflict of interest, product quality issues which prompted constant harassment, retaliation as well as discrimination (one of the tools Apotex utilized to deal with me / associated issues).
My Complaint pursuant to Section 50 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act against Respondent in 2006 was filled under guidance of Ontario Human Rights Commission and was selected / initiated by Ontario Labour Board.
I was very sick and impaired and I relied on Government Agencies to select the proper avenue to proceed with my concerns / claims/ allegations.
To submit by Counsel motion to dismiss my Application with out a hearing on the basis that it does not constitute a prima facie case of a violation of the Human Rights Code and constitutes an abuse of the Commission’s / Tribunal’s process is yet again demonstrating acts of discrimination, harassment and retribution.
Again, the reason why I did not file a complain with the Human Rights Commission back in 2004-or – 2005 is not because of the substance of my Complaint included sole issues of health and safety and quality of the product but because I WAS SICK, IMPAIRED UNDER INFLUENCE AS RESULT OF ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS OF PSYCHIATRIC/ ANTIDEPRESSANT AND NARCOTICS and I relied on guidance of the Commission and other Government Agencies.
I was guided by Ontario Human Rights Commission right from the beginning and Commission send me to Labour Board where format of my Application was amended number of times.
Essentially Apotex’s Counsel is imposing on the Tribunal opinion whether or not the substance of my Application is within the jurisdiction of this Tribunal.
Apotex / Counsel are trying to define Tribunal’s jurisdiction and competence.
Apotex appears to believe that it can simply disregard Canadian Constitution, Law, and all Legislatives and manipulate in to own advantage all Government Agencies if that will assist it in adversarial tactics against Citizens. Canadian citizens can have little legal protection from major corporate interests if a corporation such as Apotex can so readily oppress an individual.
Company got engaged in intentional malicious conduct violating all statutes with a reckless indifference. It acted in the face of a perceived risk that its actions will violate all laws.
DUE TO RETRIBUTION, DISCRIMINATION (AGE, PLACE OF ORIGIN), HERRASMENT (EXPRESSED CONCERNS IN AREA OF HEALTH AND SAFETY, PRODUCT CONTAMINATION etc.) Apotex did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representation in a matter within the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labor Board, WSiB, Ontario Human Rights Commission, Tribunal and other Government Agencies, DENIED MEDICAL HELP as well obstructed Canadian Constitution etc.
Apotex committed many counts of perverting the course of justice or intending to pervert the course of justice, many counts of perjury, criminal conspiracy, criminal negligence, criminal recruitment of false witnesses, attempted murder, did cause permanent disability, irreparable damage. Issues and/or events which occurred after my departure from Employer are also in full are Apotex’s liabilities due to fact that Apotex actively sabotaged legal /administrative proceedings in all Government Agencies in question. Preliminary matters are that Apotex In premeditated manner is torturing me for MANY, MANY years and pending. Company acts without any consideration for the human rights.
Apotex falsified all records provided by them to Ontario Labor Board, WSiB, Ontario Human Rights Commission, Tribunal and other Government Agencies (collectively Government) and engaged its employees in criminal conspiracy (documented) which untimely further deteriorates my state of health.
Many individuals involved in my Case purposely are omitting very critical evidence and medical conditions (or are reducing it in to insignificance).
Please focus on 7 years of my unprotected work with toxic / controlled substances/narcotics , which are known to cause my conditions even in dosages regularly prescribed by Doctors and much more/worse if over dosed.
Please start to question harmful molecules which Company processed not reviling nature /name of them and keeping in confidentiality Work Orders and Safety Data Sheets as well not providing any protection for employees.
Apotex committed many counts of perverting the course of justice or intending to pervert the course of justice, many counts of perjury, criminal conspiracy, criminal negligence, criminal recruitment of false witnesses, attempted murder, did cause permanent disability, irreparable damage.
Company terrorized by many means any one / other employees voicing concerns about issues with Safety and quality of the products.
CIVIL LIABILITY does ARISE FROM BAD FAITH.
The matter is the one that falls under federal jurisdiction under the Constitution Act, 1867?
Respondent’s inconvenience in finding or locating own witnesses or documents does not constitute “substantial prejudice, nor does a “simple time delay”.
Documents / NOTES can not be lost / misplaced or “not maintained” in the pharmaceutical Company / Industry unless you do not generate any or purposely lose them. What about “good documentation practices”?
Policy mandatory in the Industry? Oh, right, Apotex has the Policy only for Authorities and to use it as a tool for propaganda.
Well, contrarily to Apotex I did observe the Policy in order to assist my ex- employer in achieving its vision / goals. Unfortunately, despite fact, that I utilized the Policy of “Good Documentation Practices” in good faith / into Company’s benefit, the Company punished me for it…
Company was #1 only because no one was checking any thing. No mechanisms in force to control SELF REGULATING PHARMACY!
For years sick people are turning 6′ under the ground due to contaminated medications!

Apotex subjected me to the most horrifying experiences imaginable. BEYOND ANY DOUBT I WAS EXPOSED TO THE DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES WITH OUT ANY PROTECTION AND THAT THEY CAUSED THE ADVERSE EFFECTS AND INJURIES I NOW SUFFER (Documented). As result of Company’s negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic effect I am disabled. I am suffering a great deal with life threatening medical conditions not able to afford groceries, needed medications nor to pay any of my financial dues. I am not able to perform any chores around my residence, forced to relay on assistance. I was “swimming in” / a massive exposure with out any protection to a potent immunosuppressant, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric), antidepressants and narcotics which overwhelmed my system.
The symptoms of Paxil withdrawal are among the most horrifying experiences imaginable. The symptoms can take your life and rip it to shreds, mocking your dignity and stealing your freedom. They ravage your soul. They deaden your spirit.
Ironically, death often seems like a blessing, so great is the pain of Paxil Withdrawal Symptoms.
Taking Paxil is like putting a loaded gun to your head. You better be damn sure you need it before you start.
The withdrawal process can mirror every depiction of hell . The paxil withdrawals can truly test your sanity. Perhaps the two worse mental expressions of the paxil withdrawals are the overwhelming feelings of being isolated, cut off from the world and even from loved ones, and the fear of permanently losing your sanity. The isolation stems in large part from the inability to express or even understand what is happening. Nobody can really look inside another person and know the degree of their suffering. The paxil withdrawals have always reminded me of the concentration camps of World War II. Some of the suffering is unimaginable, and certainly much is horrifying.
The bottom line - no one knows ahead of time if they will be one of the unfortunate who suffer horrendously, or if they will be spared the ravages of the paxil withdrawals.
Drugs, by definition - are poisons to the body. All drugs are poisons. Sometimes, however, a person’s state has reached the point where a poison is the best option.
Of all the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s) Paxil is generally considered to be the most potent. It also has the greatest number of side effects as well as the most severe withdrawal symptoms. There are hundreds of side effects of paxil. Paxil is nothing but a poison that causes all sorts of painful, unpleasant side effects. And sometimes the side effects don’t even show themselves until the user attempts to stop taking or being exposed to paxil.
It is a compilation of my own experience as well as that of the thousands. The symptoms redefine the term nightmare. Their nature is such, that you will find yourself questioning your sanity on a continual basis. A certain lethargy and a depression that was not there beforehand seems to have taken hold.
It appears that Paxil withdrawal can come in many variations.
• fainting
• “scratching sound” inside one’s head
• constant white noise in the ears
• tingling sensation in cheeks, lips, tongue and surrounding areas.
• heart palpitations/ chest pain
• swollen and sore eyes
• fatigue
• extremely localized, bursting headaches
• lump in throat
• rash / dry, flaky, discolored and irritated skin
• grinding of teeth
• difficulty swallowing
• itchiness
• numbness
• speech problems / inability to use or find the right word
• trembling
• seizures involuntary muscle twitching
• hallucinations
• intense insomnia
• extraordinarily vivid dreams
• extreme confusion during waking hours
• intense fear of losing your sanity
• steady feeling of existing outside of reality as you know it (referred to as depersonalization at times)
• memory and concentration problems
• Panic Attacks (even if you never had one before)
• severe mood swings, esp. heightened irritability / anger.
• Dizziness, which can be quite extreme at times.
• Shocks, called the ‘zaps’; usually starting in the mouth or head, and extending out through the body.
• Sensory sensitivity, especially sounds. Any noise can become a painful experience. Also, being under florescent lights can create discomfort. Touch, motion and even smell can be painful.
• Nausea, very common with paxil withdrawal.
• Confusion, memory problems, and difficulty with concentration.
• Severe insomnia and/or nightmares, (now there’s a winning combination).
• Extreme mood swings, such as intense grief and intense anger. Plan for this in advance!
• Suicidal thoughts. If the urge to kill yourself becomes too strong and the argument becomes too logical, think of those who love you. Think of the thousands of others who have or who will go through a similar agony. Just don’t give up!
• Headaches, sometimes quite severe.
• Reduced motor skills, such as difficulty walking or talking.
• Reduced or no appetite.
• Intense fear of losing your sanity.
• Depersonalization, where nothing seems real; it’s like you are outside your body.
• Panic attacks, even if you’ve never had them before.
• Sweating, sometimes profusely.
• Blurred vision.
• Muscle cramps and stomach cramps.
• Diarrhea.
• Chills/hot flashes, part of the ‘paxil-flu’.
• Fatigue.
• Painful, swollen eyes or mouth.
• Fainting.
• Hard to swallow.
• Grinding teeth.
• Numbness.
• Itching.
• Trembling.
• Hallucinations.

Dear Madam,
Lately, one of my many medical conditions deteriorated and imposes on me a lot of difficulties and enormous stress.
During my employment I developed lungs problem (due to product side effects- reported to Superiors and documented). My autonomic function of lungs (a function of the respiratory cycles) has been compromised.
More and more frequently I am stopping to breathe with out a warning. These are relatively short in duration episodes but I am not in control of them. Despite my conscious mind I struggle in-vein to take air and I can not make my lungs to move. I suspect that my neurons / neurotransmitters are affected / damaged (altered function / communication) by active ingredients at work.
As result of all my medical conditions I fear, that such undertaking as a trip for a hearing on preliminary issues may end up for me fatally. For very long time I do not go any where at all.
I scrolled trough Tribunal’s website and I discovered, that Tribunal’s extra ordinary powers do allow Tribunal to make its own rules of proceedings which allow performing Hearings in any way where appropriate ( “any part of a proceeding may be conducted in person or by way of a written hearing or electronically. The Tribunal may exercise any of its powers under these Rules on its own initiative or at the request of a party as well the Tribunal may waive or vary the application of any of these Rules where appropriate”).
Due to my circumstance, written format would be the best for me.
Since Tribunal already performed such proceeding and the Respondent forwarded all alleged preliminary issues which do not stand up to my allegations and due to fact that I did forward all evidence challenging alleged preliminary issues as well due to fact, that Respondent admitted all my allegations I am asking Tribunal, whether it is absolutely necessary for me to attend in person the hearing on preliminary issues which are not valid and serve Respondent as a tool to challenge my Application on technicalities.
I am not asking Tribunal in any way to postpone scheduled proceedings, because my medical condition most likely with time will gradually deteriorate not improve.
I am asking Tribunal to explore / implement alternative method of proceeding (if possible) to allow me some physical and emotional relief.
