Hmm, not to get too negative, but there is educaton in my opinion to

be attended to here, which is why I teach a couple hours on the

subject of antidepressant medications during the AyurDoula training

for a heads up with some resources. Here's a bit just came thru the

wires from www.drugawareness.org. A good resource for those already

on antidepressants to have certain needed tools.

 

The following is with political implications from Dr. Tracy's analysis

(below) who is one of the international proponents most strongly

protecting us from the heavily monied emphasis on SSRI drug misuse.

Her research implicates thes medicines not only with major blood sugar

problems such as diabetes, asthma, joint problems, suicide, depression

(!), cancer, and 40 - 80 pound average weight gain, cortisol inspired

at levels way beyond caffienne, sugar, and many other life stressors.

 

I offer this info to not only because of the high incidence of

perinatal use still, but to possibly open some conversation about the

ayurvedic implications. To begin, this class of medications covers up

the symptoms which tell us we are out of balance in vata and pitta

ways especially, while increasing the vata a nd pitta aggravations by

the nature of the drug effects. It becomes a much more complicated

management picture to reverse without very clear and effective tools.

These tools and guidance need to be from a qualified ayurvedic

medical practitioner or ayurvedic MD. It is not something an

AyurDoula is qualified to do.

 

Warm Regards;

DONATIONS TIE DRUG MAKERS TO NONPROFIT CONSUMER GROUPS

.... The ties between drug companies and everyone in between who could

encourage the use of their drugs has been a very well kept secret for

much, much too long! To see such exposure in a major newspaper is

refreshing to say the least. Bravo to Thomas Ginsberg for a great

article!

 

A few of the major points:

 

" The ADA [American Diabetes Assoc.], which received 5 percent to 10

percent of its revenue last year from drug companies, reported little

initially in

2004 about suspected diabetes risks from antidepressants. Instead,

Tuncer, its spokeswoman, said it convened an expert conference -

funded by drug companies

- and ended up echoing the concerns. . . . "

 

The longer drug companies can stall in allowing such information to

reach the public, the fewer lawsuits they will face because the

statue of limitations

- the time period in which a suit can be filed for damages - runs out

in generally a short two years. This link between antidepressants and

the huge increase in diabetes is something I have shouted very loudly

about for over a decade and a half. The damage to the pancreas by

this group of drugs was my first concern. And as I point out in my

book I feel it is ABSOLUTELY NO COINCIDENCE that the company who

introduced the first SSRI to the US, Eli Lilly (Prozac), is also the

biggest manufacturer of diabetic products....
