The manufacturer of Zoloft debates usabout their "chemical imbalance" fraud. They lose. If you live in the USA, you've probably seen ads onTV for Zoloft with the little bouncy ball. The adsclaim, "Zoloft is a medicine that helps correct thechemical imbalance of serotonin in the brain." MindFreedom demanded that Pfizer, Inc. produce anyscientific evidence of an "imbalance" and how Zoloft helps"correct" it. Pfizer actually responded. The MindFreedomScientific Panel demolished Pfizer's defense. Read all about how Pfizer, Inc. cannot produce a singlepeer-reviewed scientific article to back up this fraud. MindFreedom asks Congress to investigate drug companyinfluence inside the Bush Administration agences such asFDA, FCC and FTC. You can help.

Does their huge database ofpotential prospects for forced drugging include you yet?
