Based on what study you look at, iatrogenic injury (pharmaceuticals) is the third or leading cause of death in the US. My prayers are with her.

Thanks Roman. I have always used 4th leading cause of death is properly prescribed medication. I believe this was pre-Covid. I wouldn't be surprised it now 3rd leading cause. Do you have a link to the 3rd???

I appreciate you taking time to read my new substack!!!

From 2003, Gary Null: http://whale.to/a/null9.html#Summary_

you can find the figures under the Abstract.

I can't imagine what the numbers are now. If reported correctly, they must be off the chart.

Sure thing, it's actually an old study, but still amazing it was the 3rd cause in 2000:

Kim, another powerful article in a series of articles that are vital to our current health crisis as well as they reveal the telling history of drug safety failures through the years that have led us here.

From my own struggles with chemicals in our water supply to Cody's now life-long disability & life-long blood clotting disorder at the hands of Pfizer, your words of warning are etched into the notes in my mind that I speak to others out of love and kindness.

What I knew from my own experiences before Cody took the vaccine told me that I did not want him to take it. And I voiced this. I also stayed away from many prescription drugs on my own, choosing natural alternatives as often as possible. But I hadn't stopped to take account of all of my encounters with possible drug reactions in my own life and in the lives of my loved ones. It just isn't something we are trained or taught to look for. Most believe that pharmacies are health companies and, therefore, safe. Wrong.

A good look at my own mental notes on this obvious cartel-like behavior of the drug companies should have told me otherwise. It wasn't until we met that the picture became clear as you organized your thoughts about this history of blatant disregard for drug safety over profits, and you found the connections. You did the hard work, and you shared it with me/you share it with others, and now we can all learn to protect ourselves as a result of your efforts. Thank you!

The bottom line is in getting to know your work. It is clear to see that it is not just one drug or another drug that is unsafe but that drug companies do not have your safety and health in mind, and that compromises all drugs. They must all be questioned.

"Pfizer and the FDA have long been aware of the association with violence and suicide since the 1991 hearings on Prozac. Internal Pfizer documents obtained in my lawsuit showed they have known about this risk and kept it from the public." If they are willing to do this... think of the other harms that they are willing to allow.

Thank you for providing a path to this invaluable and life-saving knowledge.

Are you familiar with Peter Breggin, Kim? He writes a lot about this in Medication Madness. Robert Whitaker also has done a lot of research into the shenanigans of the drug business. You might be able to team up if you haven't already.

Yes, I know Peter Breggin and his book "Antidepressant Fact Book" was one of the first books we read after Woody died. I have been a guest on his radio show over the years.

I have also worked with Bob Whitaker as well. He's done a lot of amazing work into the incestuous relationship between Pharma and psychiatry.

Huge fan of both as well as David Healy and Peter Gotzsche.

Thank you! Share away. I have a post coming on the similarities of situation with covid vaccine and antidepressants and what’s different. I truly believe it we lived in the era of today with media and social media censorship we would never have gotten the blackbox warnings. It was brutal and were working with fda and congress almost weekly out in DC.

I will never forget my trip to meet the families after Parkland Florida. I went down to Florida to let the grieving families know about link with psych drugs.

If we don’t start “walking down a different street” nothing will change.

It is fascinating how much more corrupt the system has become.

Also by any chance were you referring to this poem? It's one of my favorites:

Yes!! Wayne Dyer was a good friend of mine. He always would use this poem when he talked about creating new ways of thinking. “Your thoughts become things.”

It always resonated and comes up every time another shooting.

Old ways and patterns will keep producing same results.

Kindred spirits!!

Interesting that you mention an upcoming post of the similarities of pharmaceutical antidepressants and the COVID-19 shot. WhenI shared on Facebook and my groups, my last statement was "recognize the similarities to the COVID-19 shot, no?"

Both cases, Pharma companies are bigly implicated!

This current Substack article of yours is really well presented, Kim, and I applaud your work in this field. After reading your like of my comment on Aaron Siri's Substack, I recognized your name as one I have heard before and so checked out your TV, radio, and lecture testimonies, etc and found them to be most interesting and well presented. (I was especially pleased to discover that you are a Twin Citian, as I am!) I seem to remember one of the popular integrative-medicine doctors (I think it may have been Dr. Julian Whitaker) commenting that of the initial half dozen or school shootings starting with Columbine, the majority of the shooters were kids on antidepressants, but that the media covered that up under pressure from the drug companies. In my own practice as a botanical-medicine clinician, I have found saffron to be an excellent natural antidepressant, with good published research behind it as well. (It was way too expensive a decade ago and before then for most persons, but a relatively inexpensive extract has been on the market for about a decade or so now.) It also supports visual health. Moreover, I have yet to see it cause any type of side effect. Indeed, it gets nothing but praise from my clients!

Take L-Tryptophan instead of those chemical, poisonus drugs. 500 mg a day. ¨Tryptophan (also called L-tryprophan) is an essential amino acid that acts like a natural mood regulator, since it has the ability to help the body produce and balance certain hormones naturally.¨ Do your own research. Available without a prescription. Read More https://draxe.com/nutrition/tryptophan/

Many thanks, I wish I could tell you that the damage was collateral and not of the most insidious nature.
