It grieves me to have to write this post. As an NIU grad who has spent 7 years in DeKalb, I was completely leveled by the Valentine’s Day Massacre as I watched it unfold live through my local television stations. Today the report has finally come out: the Prozac Nation can now add another school shooter to the list of SSRI patients turned psychotic. The news reports today say that in addition to Prozac, Stephen Kazmierczak had also been taking Ambien and Xanax. SSRI medications like Prozac have also been linked to several other school shooters.

In 2004 the FDA issued warnings saying that abruptly changing the dose of an anti-depressant (SSRI) drug, whether increasing or decreasing it, can produce hostility, psychosis, and/or suicide.

Each child was given a drink and then their parents and teachers subsequently rated their behaviors. (more…)

The decades old firestorm debate over whether or not thimerosal in vaccines causes Autism got heated up last week when Jenny McCarthy made her accusation on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The U.S. Senate has just released a report after an 18-month long investigation of the FDA and CDC concerning thimerosal levels in pediatric vaccines and the rising rates of neurological disorders in U.S. children.

Hold off on frying up those sausages and burgers you have in the bottom of your freezer before reading the following update: This week the European Union has officially banned the use of Red 2G, or E128 from being used as a food coloring because recent studies have proven that the “azo-dye” is a known cancer causing additive.

Are you easily agitated and a chronic insomniac, often waking up in the morning after what seems like a very short, dreamless night? Perhaps you’re one of those people that never eats breakfast; instead you prefer to race off to work or school. Do you often forget where you just put something or what someone just told you? Maybe you also have a hankering for spicy foods and a huge gut to match.
