I mean what would the doctor think about YOU knowing ALL the perks.
You think it is sticky notes and posters with the skeletons, drawings

than that. It may be a seminar in Hawaii, all expenses paid by
the organizer. Suppose your doctor gets something like that (maybe
even does get), would he or she like her patients to know?

You're working at denying the evidence before you:

Eli Lilly. What a farce.

Subject: Eli Lilly Settles Zyprexa/Diabetes Cases for $690 Million

Another PharmaIndusty Cover-up:

On June 15, 2005, Eli Lilly & Co., the manufacturer of the
antipsychotic drug Zyprexa, settled an estimated 8,000 lawsuits pending
in the United States concerning its alleged failure to warn about the
risk of Zyprexa causing diabetes. The company agreed to pay $690
million but denied any wrongdoing.


Although Eli Lilly claims it has done nothing wrong, under the rules of
the settlement agreement the company will be allowed to seal all of the
critical documents, making them unavailable to other attorneys, health
professionals, or the public. If Eli Lilly wants to demonstrate its
innocence, it should make public all of its internal documents relating
to how much it knew, or didn't know, and how much it continues to
know, about Zyprexa causing diabetes and pancreatitis.


Dr. Peter Breggin was one of the medical experts who evaluated cases on
behalf of the plaintiffs, including cases in which individuals died of
acute diabetic coma or pancreatitis while being treated with Zyprexa.
Dr. Breggin worked with the San Francisco law firm Hersh and Hersh
(contact Rachel Abrams, 415 441 5544).


Dr. Breggin has been involved as a scientific expert for the plaintiffs
in many lawsuits against Eli Lilly in regard to both Prozac and
Zyprexa. The Prozac cases have involved the drug's capacity to cause
severe mental and behavioral abnormalities, including mania,
suicidality, and violence. The Zyprexa suits have mainly concerned the
production of life-threatening diabetes and pancreatitis, as well as
tardive dyskinesia (permanent drug-induced abnormal movements).


Recently another Eli Lilly drug has come under scrutiny concerning its
potential for causing suicide. Cymbalta (duloxetine), a new Eli Lilly
antidepressant, is currently under FDA investigation in regard to
possible drug-induced suicidality. The drug was approved by the FDA
despite a controversial, highly publicized suicide that occurred during
the controlled clinical trials used for FDA approval.


Earlier this year, news reporter Jeannie Lenzer of the British Medical
Journal released documents concerning unpublished in-house Eli Lilly
data indicating that Prozac (compared to placebo and to an older
antidepressant) caused an increased suicide rate in controlled clinical
trials. [Dr. Breggin Analyzes the Eli Lilly Prozac-Induced Suicide and
Violence Documents Now in Possession of the British Medical Journal
(BMJ)]


Dr. Breggin has written extensively about Eli Lilly and especially
Prozac in Talking Back to Prozac (1994), Brain-Disabling Treatments in
Psychiatry (1997) and the Antidepressant Fact Book (2001). Especially
in his 1997 medical book, Dr. Breggin has discussed how Eli Lilly has
suppressed data about the risk of Prozac-induced mania, violence, and
suicide-allegations that the drug company continues to deny, usually
without actually addressing Dr. Breggin's data.

ELI LILLY ON THE MARCH AGAIN


JANUARY 7. The FDA has approved Prozac for children starting at age 7.
This is terrific news for Eli Lilly, the manufacturer, and bad news
for everyone else. Of course, doctors have been giving Prozac and
other SSRI anti-depressants to kids for years---to kids quite a bit
younger than 7.


I strongly urge you to get into my archive and read my past articles
on these drugs. The meds have serious side effects, if you consider
suicide and murder to be serious.


If you consider scrambled neurotransmitter systems to be serious.


However, we all know that murder and suicide and brain decimation are
phenomena that support other industries. Which means jobs. And jobs
are a very important consideration.


In its approval statement, the FDA mentioned that one of the key
Prozac-kid studies, after 19 weeks---only 19 weeks---showed that the
little guinea pigs gained half an inch less in height and two pounds
less in weight than the children did who were on a placebo. But hey.
Every silver lining has its cloud.


The FDA stated, "The clinical significance of this [weight/height]
observation on long-term growth is unknown." Yeah, well it would be,
since the study lasted only 19 weeks. But who cares? Lilly has
graciously promised to do a long-term clinical trial on kids AFTER THE
NEW PROZAC MARKETING CAMPAIGN SWINGS INTO FULL GEAR, to see if,
long-term, these children grow up A LOT shorter and A LOT lighter.


I trust Lilly. Don't you?


Lilly equals jobs for Americans.


Some RICO enterprises are simply part and parcel of the US economy,
and we have to realize that. Now, more than ever.


I'm sure they have a big American flag flying outside their corporate
headquarters, and that seals the deal for me.

Eli Lilly Accused Of Influencing Sepsis Guidelines
Guidelines, which are supposed to be independent and scientific, have
been influenced by a pharmaceutical giant, Eli Lilly, say US government
doctors. They say that the company influenced treatment guidelines for
sepsis, a blood infection which is often fatal.


You can read about this in the New England Journal of Medicine.


Dr. Naomi O'Grady, a doctor at the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), said that Eli Lilly is trying to insinuate its drug into many aspects
of patient care that industry really should not be involved in. Dr. O'Grady,
and three other NIH doctors said that Eli Lilly's influence made it such
that its drug, Xigris, was eventually included in the guidelines for sepsis
treatment.


Eli Lilly says it does not believe the company played a role in the
development of the content of the guidelines, beyond funding the campaign
initiative.


The guidelines say that very sick patients should receive Xigris.
Sepsis (blood poisoning) affects about three-quarters of a million people in
the USA each year. About one third of all severe pepsis cases are fatal,
over two thirds of all sepsis shock cases are fatal.


Xigris only just got approval from the FDA five years ago - as many
people in the advisory committee voted against its approval as for it. Dr.
Peter Q. Eichacker, one of the members who voted against approval, says the
drug should not be a standard, given the questionable data surrounding it.
Xigris can cause serious bleeding.


In 2002 Lilly employed a PR company to promote Xigris usage. The drug
was not doing well at the time, and its blockbuster medication, Prozac, was
nearing the end of its patent life. The company spent enormous amounts of
money promoting the wider usage of Xigris.


Eli Lilly says the sepsis campaign was educational. The aim was to
make sure only the right patients - those very seriously ill - received the
drug.


20% of the 46 people who wrote the guidelines had received money from
Lilly for previous research and giving talks.

November 22, 2007: Organic chemist Shane Ellison reveals how drugs are
manufactured to treat "symptoms" of invented illnesses, such as ADHD.


http://cchr.org/press_room/radio_shows/


Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) U.S. President Bruce
Wiseman interviews chemist Shane Ellison in this new "Take America
Back" radio show exposing the corruption within the psychiatric and
pharmaceutical industries.


Ellison abandoned his career in manufacturing drugs for Eli Lilly when
he discovered that the drugs he was making were not intended to cure
real diseases. Instead, he discovered that "illnesses," including ADHD
and depression, were being invented and marketed to the population so
that drugs could be sold to virtually any healthy individual. Ellison
explains that the drugs often cause the very symptoms they are
supposed to "cure". After leaving the pharmaceutical industry, Ellison
became an authority on therapeutic nutrition, starting a company that
offers nutritional supplements and writing a book called Health Myths
Exposed.


Wiseman points out that the black box warnings on antidepressants
exemplifies how the drugs can cause serious side effects, including
what they allegedly cure-antidepressants allegedly alleviate
depression but in fact can cause suicidal thoughts and behavior.


Confirming that none of the drugs are curing depression whatsoever,
Ellison likens antidepressants to a chemical lobotomy. With Pharma
money and their lobbyists heavily influencing politicians, the host
warns that two bills are currently pending in Congress forwarding the
profitable lie that psychiatric diagnoses are real and need
"treatment". Wiseman urges listeners to contact their federal
representatives and insist that these measures are not passed: The
Mental Health Parity Bill, which mandates that insurance cover
psychiatric treatment equally with physical treatment, and the
Mother's Act, which supports "mental health screening" of new moms.
