PROZAC AND MENOPAUSE - CONTROVERSIAL

[Guest guest]

Dear Herbalists,

I may be off- list to replies but I could NOT resist sending this TO

the list,,,(he - hee). Have been tied to my computer all day WORKING

with end of the month deadlines looming but wanted to just pass this on

for comment........ (missing you all already)

Women of the world unite!

Sadly, the information below is true. The clinical name for both Prozac

and

Sarafem is fluoxetine hydrochloride. There is more information about

the prescription of Prozac on this web page.

http://www.prozacclinic.com/datasheet.html

It would be a good idea to let your friends know about this. Boy, are

these guys desparate..................Love Penny

> You have probably heard about Sarafem. This is the new name for

Prozac which is being marketed to women for the trumped up diagnosis:-

PMDD.

> PMDD is of course nothing other than PMS. It was approved by the

APA(AMerican Psychiatric Assoc) for inclusion as a mental illness after

a long struggle in which it was

bitterly opposed by many feminist groups. This July (the same month

that Lilly lost the patent on Prozac) they got the FDA to approve Prozac

 

for the treatment of PMDD and give it the trade name Sarafem.

They made 2.9 billion dollars on Prozac and I think that this is how

they plan to cover the decrease in revenue that will come from loosing

the patent

> They have launched a full scale advertising campaign, that is the

most covert and manipulative campaign you can possible imagine. They

are spending untold millions on

it, and saturating all areas of the media. Their Web site is something

to behold and will forever be thought of as the height of manipulative

marketing deception.

Their theme is that Sarafem helps you be more like the woman you are and

they are positioning themselves as the company that is finally listening

to the needs of women.>

> I've send out a mailing to 1500 women in my database and am going to

give the first of many talks on this subject and the natural treatment

options for PMS. We all need to do whatever we can to get the word out

about this >

> Please go to the sarafem.com site and check it out. Then please

pass this email on to everyone on your list.

> GOOD Article Penny,

I had just looked into that because my sister saw a commerical for

Sarafem- Checked it out and it has the same chemical name as Prozac-

This happens alot with the drug companies- they can have a drug with

the same chemical name but has different brand names- One that comes

to mind is Lithium- it is marketed under several different names-

same drug.Just different name- thats why they have those little

warnings on your drug bottles- " this medication may be a differnet

color or shape then what you have been taking-but it is the same

medication " .

It's no wonder there are such major medication errors in hospitals

and the likes. ENough about this- it frustrates me so much!!

Thanks for taking the time to pass this along. June
