RSF, Reporters Without Borders, created the Peter Mackler Award in 2008

"About the Peter Mackler Award for Courageous and Ethical Journalism

The Peter Mackler Award for Courageous and Ethical Journalism was founded in June, 2008 to honor the memory of Peter Mackler, a Brooklyn-born thirty-five year veteran journalist who championed ethical journalism, freedom of expression, and who helped transform the news agency Agence France Press (AFP) into the international competitor it is today. Mackler also founded Global Media Forum, which has helped train journalists and non-profit organizations to use the media as a tool for social change, and Project Plato, which teaches journalism as a life skill to teenagers.

The Peter Mackler award rewards journalists who fight courageously and ethically to report the news in countries where freedom of the press is either not guaranteed or not recognized. The Award ceremony will take place on October 2, 2009 at 6PM at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, 529 14th St. N.W, 13th Fl.; Washington, DC 20045. The ceremony will be followed by a networking hour. There will be a silent auction."

This year winner was:

"Published on 31 August 2009

Global Media Forum and the US branch of Reporters Without Borders are pleased to announce that respected Sri Lankan journalist and editor J. S. Tissainayagam has been selected as the first winner of the Peter Mackler Award for Courageous and Ethical Journalism. Tissainayagam will be formally awarded the prize at a ceremony at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on October 2, 2009. The key note speaker for the ceremony will be Marcus Brauchli, executive editor of the Washington Post."

RSF, Report Without Borders, do a great work and I am a supporter of their work and by singing their petitions.
I just wanted that there was an organization that could fight for ethical journalism in countries where reporters are not murdered, tortured or suffer mental and physical abuse but are not employed if they do not report what he/she is told to report and those who are ethical have to work in an independent way without any recognition.
We know the power of journalism and how important it is to have the right information.
Congratulations RFS! Keep going.
Thanks to independent journalists that work at home as in exile in their own countries.

Golden Lion Award

My dear friend Susan honored me with the Golden Lion Award and it's a very special award since it was the first she received and the person from whom she received is not bloging anymore. This is what Susan wrote about her decision

"My very first blog award I was given was by a young woman in SF named PhC, who was struggling with HIV. She has dropped off the blogosphere for the last two years, but I want to replay her gift forward. I don't know if she has left this earth, or left the blogosphere, but I miss her."

I have nothing left to say about the importance of this award. I am very happy to receive it and I hope that this young woman is at peace wherever she is.
As always it's hard to chose only six blog friends but there it goes:

Jennifer at BPC in OKC ;
Cc at Clinically clueless;
Cheryl at Wishing and discovering;
Marissa Muller at Depression Introspection;
Marj at Survivors can thrive!;
Matthew at It's quite an experience;
Mike at Rambling Stuffs;
Sandee at Comedy Plus;
Tracy at Black Holes and Barbies;

Nine? Still I didn't give it to everybody I want.

ACPP - Implementing the new general scientific paradigm to treat children with OCD in Armenia

I joined the Mental Health Resource Directory months ago when I saw it at friend's blog. The badge is still at my blog and I will leave it.
I just visited the site.
There are some good blogs but I found the Association of Child Psychiatrist and Psychologists as one of the sites as well as others that are in opposite directions. They want to implement scientific based mental health care in Armenia and, why not, Russia?

Collaboration with International pharmaceuticals industry resent PPT presentations for Janssen - Cilag and Solvay group Armenia (Year 2008).

Russian presentation for Janssen - Cilag (MS PowerPoint, 2.0 Mb)
Russian presentation for Solvay (MS PowerPoint, 1.7 Mb) (this slide-show explains how SSRI's work and take as example Paroxetine (Paxil/Seroxat) and also Fluvoxamine (Fevarin). It is written in Russian but we can understand it because it is explained as if the audience was six years-old.

Poster presentation Ziprasidone among adolescents with overlapping OCD and Tourette's syndrome (Pilot study)

This is part of the site and I put in red the laboratory and the drug.

ACPP is helping to implement scientific based mental health system in Armenia:

"In accordance with new priorities, which have been worked out by ACPP, its members are engaged in scientific work which is being covered in publications and reports at symposia, conferences and educational seminars in year 2008. The core of these works is the consolidation of the new general scientific paradigm in psychiatry and psychology representing different areas of interest to the specialty, such as affective disorders, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, eating disorders, impulsivity and impulse control disorders, diagnosis and intervention. In Year 2008 Open post marketing study of effectiveness of Fluvoxamine (Fevarin) among adolescents with severe OCD was completed. The study was conducted by support of SOLVAY Pharmaceuticals local team in Armenia."(emphasis mine)

This is part of this ACPP 2008 report.
It seems that Armenian children will receive the same treatment of the western civilization.
Why am I not happy?

Call for action - Promoting Furious Seasons, what can we do?

I believe that many of us agree that Furious Seasons is one of the most important mental health blogs and should be top 1 in all blog directors and accessible to most people as possible not only for us who already know the problems Phillip raises.
I just found that Blogged has this rate for Furious Seasons:



This is not fair! Very good? My blog is very good and I didn't do 1/100.000.000 of what Philip is doing.
I did a review because they can change the rate according to other people's reviews.
People trust in more in numbers than in words: "Oh! A top 1 blog? It's good!"
Let's try to make of Furious Seasons a source for all of those who search for mental health problems or psych-drugs being overused and all the problems we know.
I think of Philip as a kind of spokesman for all of us and I thank him for his work.
Please leave any idea of how can we make Furious Seasons appear to the public and not only for us.
Thank you.

PS: I did an award*, I think the more we at my other blog and I am asking people to leave a comment here at Hella Heaven Independent Journalism Award.
Now I think it's time for social networkings. I am not very good at it. But I will try.
Let's do it please!
Ideas, we need efficacious ways.

*we cannot wait for official recognition so let's promote our own way.
If you think I am being naive please tell me. It took me a lot of courage to do it.

To the American and British governments

This is the story of Jeremy whose Pearl Jam's song, at this post, talks about.
He shot his mouth with a gun in front of the class.
Sometimes I get so angry about what is being done to American and British children that I have to express it in any way.
This is the way I am remembering all those children, teenagers and adults who took their lives because of SSRI's/SRNI's-induced suicidal ideation.
I don't know why whenever I listen to the music I feel like crying. But this is me.
I don't think that the American and British government carry a bean about the lives of American and British children. Health is something that is not of any interest and it even seems to me that the world is overpopulated and if people die it is better for the income of those who have money.
I am not talking about children and people from the rest of the world.
I AM TALKING ABOUT AMERICAN AND BRITISH CHILDREN!
The lasts posts I am publishing here are being done with anger.
I am sorry for that but it is beyond any explanation what American and British governments are doing to their children.

The Carpet Crawlers - Genesis and split personality - We've got to get in to get out

I felt like sharing this amazing song by Genesis although I know that someone taking a glimpse to one blog has no time or is in another mood to listen to this.
Soulful and ethereal are some of the words that comes to my mind whenever I hear it:

The crawlers cover the floor in the red ocher corridor.
For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than before.
They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
Where the needles eye is winking, closing in on the poor.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out.


Theres only one direction in the faces that I see;
And Its upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be.
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree.
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they're free.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out.

Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing
Bright.
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;
Its the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out.

The porcelain manikin with shattered skin fears attack.
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack.
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack,
And the tickler takes his stickleback.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out.

This song is from the album ""The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"

"The album tells the surreal story of a half-Puerto Rican juvenile delinquent named Rael living in New York City, who is swept underground to face bizarre creatures and nightmarish dangers in order to rescue his brother John. Several of the story's occurrences and places were derived from Peter Gabriel's dreams, and the protagonist's name is a play on his surname. In an interview Phil Collins remarked, "It's about a "split personality". In this context, Rael would believe he is looking for John but is actually looking for a missing part of himself. The individual songs also make satirical allusions to everything from mythology to the sexual revolution to advertising and consumerism."

Eli-Lilly recruits children aged 7 - 17 years old for Cymbalta clinical trial - Tracy Johnson's suicide at Eli-Lilly's meant nothing

The photo of my profile is Tracy Johnson is a 19 years-old healthy volunteer for Cymbalta clinical trial for urinary incontinence in 2003. She hanged herself at Eli-Lylli's facilities on February, 2004. Other four volunteers are known to have died.
The story is about to repeat itself. You can read here the government recruiting children aged 7 to 17 years old. No healthy volunteers accepted this time. If anything happens they can blame it on the disease because although the UK Parliament has already recognized drug-induced suicidal ideation nothing was done. Two of the exclusion criteria for this clinical trial:

• Children of site personnel directly affiliated with this study and/or their immediate families.

• Children of Lilly employees or employees of the designated CRO assisting with the conduct of the study.

At least they care about the life of their own children and the children of their employees.

Ten best moments of a friend's life

"I read a post from another blogger about sharing the Ten Best Moments of my Life. I thought that was a good idea. So I'm going to post mine here are sort of in order of time but not priority.

1. Graduating from college with high honors--it was a real "whew" moment
2. Getting my Ph.D. --it made me have a great sense of accomplishment
3. Getting my first job as a scientist--finally getting paid to do something I love
4. Getting my first paper published--without revision. I was published as a scientist!
5. Getting married--intending to spend my life with someone I deeply love
6. Getting my first car--an old Mustang that I liked and was my very own
7. Building our house--and acting as the general contractor
8. Getting the top prize with one of my hobbies
9. That Ah-Ha moment in recovery when I understood that I could Let Go
10. A first kiss from a special person--another Ah-Ha moment

What are the ten best moments in your life?"

These are the ten best moment's of a Susan's friend - she always have great friends! I have to learn with her how to find more amazing people and Stephany is also a good in finding and introducing great people! Oops I met Susan because of Stephany.
I felt like sharing it with you. I'll do my own later I loved these moments, though. What a great life!
I dedicate this post to all the great friends I have because of this blog.
Love you all and you are always on my mind, heart and soul in good and in bad times.

"The Anti-Depressant Fact Book: What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, and Luvox" by Peter R. Breggin

The book "The Anti-Depressant Fact Book: What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, and Luvox" by Peter R. Breggin should be read by any person who is taking or is considering taking SSRI's and SNRIs antidepressants.
The title of the book alone has already inspired a new approach and is already part of the vocabulary of those who are trying to make awareness about the side effects and many hideous issues these drugs promote.

Eli-Lilly about to kill more children during Cymbalta clinical trials

The photography you see at my profile is Tracy Johnson's a healthy 19 years-old woman who hanged herself at Eli-Lilly's facilities in 2004 during Cymbalta clinical trials.
I just saw at Furious Season's this post "Cymbalta Being Trialed in Kids as Young as 7":

"The site is a recruiting tool for a 700-person study of Cymbalta as a treatment for major depression in kids aged 7 to 17 years. The study will include a placebo arm and also use Prozac as a known comparator (interestingly, Prozac is not approved for use in 7 to 17 year olds). The study is broken out into two separate clinical trials, one of 448 kiddos and the other of 336 kids. The studies are expected to be completed in early 2012 and each runs for 36 weeks, so this is no short-term clinical trial.

The two trials come on the heels of a smaller trial of Cymbalta in 72 kids aged 7 to 17 that was completed late in 2008. I cannot find its results published anywhere. It did not have a placebo or comparator arm.

So it's obvious that Lilly has its sights set on getting Cymbalta approved for use in kids. I cannot think of anything useful to say about that except to point out that since its introduction in 2004 Cymbalta has racked up 130 adverse events reports in the FDA's database among kid aged 0 to 17 (so the drug hasn't been used much off label in kids) and an astounding 14378 reports among all age groups." (emphasis mine)

I don't know what to say except that these children will have their health altered for the rest of their lives. There are even evidences that SSRIs antidepressants are teratogenic. When a nation don't care about the children I don't know any longer what to think and what kind of world we are living. This is beyond common sense understanding. Maybe it's because I don't have money. I believe that being a shareholder or have over a certain amount of money must affect people's ethics, behaviour, values... everything.

I thank the Lord I didn't reach this amount.

"We never lost control" - Homage to my blog friends

Lately I stopped writing but I'm always thinking about the amazing people I met because of this blog.
I want to dedicate this song to all of you and also thank you to keep going. This is a very inspiring song for people who have a cause or... care.
Be at peace!

The Man who Sold the World
David Bowie

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me*
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

*At this show David Bowie smiles and the crowd sings happily as if saying "we can fight".

This is what children need, not psych-drugs

The eency weency spider went up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun that dried up all the rain,
And the eency weency spider climbed up the spout again

Happy Birthday to Furious Seasons

I did copy it from Mark at Psych Survivor 2.0 . This is the least I can do to celebrate four years of Furious Seasons, Philip Dawdy's blog, that has inspired me to start this blog as many others. Philip Dawdy is dedicating his life and journalistic career publishing valuable data about the severe harms that psych-drugs are causing and to whom it's more profitable to let things stay the way they are.

I have stopped publishing at this blog because it's too damn hard. It's too sad to write about side effects, withdrawal symptoms and all the harms caused by the drugs. I have spent one year and two months at this blog. I've cried and got angry many times till I had to stop.

I don't think twice in classifying as crime against humanity what these drugs are doing and criminals those who are profiting at the expenses of other people's suffering, those who have any kind of emotional problem and those who haven't but were pushed to any of these pills.

I thank Philip Dawdy for his strength to do such a work and I hope that one day what he is bringing to the attention of a few becomes common knowledge and I know he doesn't work to receive any prize. He works because he cares.

I will take the opportunity to thank all my blog friends that keep on the fight. I'm not blogging but I'm doing my best to spread the word.

I hope you visit me at my other blog and can find something to make you smile. I never forget any of you. You are part of who I am.

Evergreening - FDA help in making old drugs get new patents (repost)

"‘Evergreening’ is the term used to describe the process by which the innovator patents trivial modifications of already-existing drugs which, in turn, extends their monopolies beyond the 20-year period granted for the original patent. It is a common practice in the pharmaceutical industry."

This is from The Economic Times. On this article it's explained how Wyeth have received a new patent to their blockbuster antibiotic Zozin that will expire in 2023 just by adding a purifying agent to its molecule.
Three companies, one from India have taken legal action against Wyeth.

"According to USFDA rules, a company is allowed to withdraw a product from the market only for reasons related to safety and efficacy. In case the product is withdrawn from the market, it is subsequently removed from the approved drugs’ reference list, and therefore no pharmaceutical company can market a generic version of this same drug.

"Zosyn is a safe and efficient drug. This is just a move to extend the patent life of the drug and prevent the entry of generic players in the market," K Raghavendra Rao, managing director, Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals, told ET."

FDA response to the Citizen's Petition (CP) filed by Orchid Chemicals in response to accusations of 'evergreening' related to Wyeth's re-formulated Zosyn (piperacillin/tazobactam):

10/30/2006

2006P-0442

Orchid Healthcare/Determine that Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc. discontinued its previously-approved formulation of the Reference Listed Drug Zosyn (piperacillin and tazobactam for injection), 40.5 gram pharmacy bulk via

Interim Response 04/23/2007

It's amazing that FDA has so little concern in promoting health and a huge concern with pharmaceutical industries profit.

I hope Obama watch it. It's a must see. I'll try to write some excerpts tomorrow.

Thanks Bob Fiddaman for publishing.

Donate to Furious Seasons Blog

I have stopped writing at this blog and I'm dedicating more time at the other blog I started to show the bright side of human beings but I never forget this subject and all the friends a have due to this blog.
This subject will always be part of my top priorities.
While I'm taking this time away I kept commenting at Philip Dawdy's Furious Seasons.
As many blog friends I started to blog about mental health after leaving many comments at Philip's blog till I got embarrassed and decided I had to have a blog of my own.
For those who don't know Philip doesn't have any kind of payment for the great work he is doing and has to accept donations at the beginning of every season.

Halcion still on US market and available to buy online without prescription

This is From "NewScientist" December, 13, 1997:

"The sleeping pill Halcion, already banned in Britain and several other countries, is coming under renewed scrutiny in the US.

The Food and Drug Administration's Advisory Committee on Psychopharmacologic Drugs was briefed last week on a new Institute of Medicine report which argues that taking Halcion as recommended causes no serious ill effects. But the report also notes that many Americans are prescribed much higher doses of the drug by their doctors, and the IOM wants the FDA to check for possible problems caused by the drug.

British regulators banned Halcion in 1991 over fears that it could cause psychiatric disturbances."

You can buy Halcion online, without prescription, here, here, here... I guess that's enough

This .gif animation was taken from the first site.

I guess that FDA is a regulatory agency to approve and make drugs remain as long as possible at US market.
Unfortunately many countries with no regulation uses FDA standards giving the agency a great power over the global market.
