Glaxo Birth Defect Litigation Reveals Paxil Promoters on Speed Dial

(NaturalNews) In the first Paxil birth defect trial against GlaxoSmithKline, much of evidence focused on the doctors on Glaxo’s payroll involved in the corruption of the medical literature and seminars given to promote the off label use of Paxil with pregnant and nursing mothers. On October 13, 2009, the trial of Kilker v Glaxo ended with a Philadelphia jury awarding $2.5 million in compensatory damages to the family of Lyam Kilker, after finding that Glaxo “negligently failed to warn” the doctor treating Lyam’s mother about the risks of Paxil and the drug was a “factual cause” of the child’s heart defects. Glaxo’s lead attorney at trial was King and Spalding partner Chilton Varner, and the family’s lead attorney was Sean Tracey from Houston. During his opening statement on September 15, 2009, Tracey told the jury that Doctor David Healy is “one of the most, if not the (most) world-recognized expert on pharmaceutical industry influence and the medicine, he is up there in the top five.” Healy “is going to explain to you how GSK corrupted the medical literature,” he…

Big Pharma executive murders 8-year-old son with Xanax and Ambien (opinion)

(NaturalNews) I’ve always said that Big Pharma executives were guilty of crimes against humanity. Now one of their wealthiest and most successful executives has been caught trying to pull off a murder-suicide in an upscale NY hotel. Gigi Jordan, who ran pharmaceutical companies selling pills to treat cancer, murdered her 8-year-old son by force-feeding him ground-up pharmaceuticals which included Xanax and Ambien. Let’s just stop right there for a moment and consider what this says about the pharmaceutical industry: Even its own executives know their drugs are toxic enough to commit murder. Jordan had been planning the murder-suicide for some time, it seems. She had left a suicide note in the hotel room, alongside thousands of pills scattered about the room. Jordan is reportedly worth $100 million — money she accumulated largely by selling toxic pills that harmed other people. Now, it seems, she chose to turn those pills on herself and her own family. Why is this not surprising? Big Pharma and the culture of death Certainly…

How to Keep Those New Year Resolutions

(NaturalNews) When it comes to lasting change, one technique stands out above all others to ensure success: “Keep it simple.” This is one of the axioms from the Twelve Steps that found its way into popular culture. Or, it may have been the other way around. Whatever the case, the phrase reminds us to stop and appreciate the things which are of true value and beyond price. A beautiful sunny day, the first snowfall of winter and a cold juicy apple after a hard work out, these are things which carry joy to those who take the time to stop and appreciate them. They are there, available to everyone, small blessings bestowed upon all living things. However, not everyone takes the time to notice them and collect the Positive Energy they so freely and joyfully bestow. Simplicity cannot completely be defined as a Virtue. It is not so much something one “practices” as much as …

Former head of CDC lands lucrative job as president of Merck vaccine division (opinion)

(NaturalNews) You’ve heard it before, how the pharmaceutical industry has a giant “revolving door” through which corporations and government agencies frequently exchange key employees. That reality was driven home in a huge way today when news broke that Dr. Julie Gerberding, who headed the CDC from 2002 through 2009, landed a top job with Merck, one of the largest drug companies in the world. Her job there? She’s the new president of the vaccine division . How convenient. That means the former head of the CDC was very likely cultivating a relationship with Merck all these years, and now comes the big payoff: Heading up a $5 billion division that sells cervical cancer vaccines (like Gardasil), chickenpox vaccines and of course H1N1 swine flu vaccines, too. So what’s the problem with all this? The problem is that private industry and government health offices such as the CDC or FDA should never be so cozy . When …
