Poddible Sudden Drug Deaths during Sleep

[Guest guest]

Dr. Baughman, possible drug death during sleep

Dear Dr. Baughman,

I have just talked with the mother of a 29 yrs old man who died in his

sleep.

The coroners report has not come in yet but mother has medical records.

Here are the prescriptions closest to his death. does this follow the

pattern you have seen

with our military deaths? Apparently the Seroquel for for sleep and they

were weening the man

over to Restoril, a benzo used for insomnia.

Best,

Jim

Dear Jim,

Thanks for this. There is no doubt in my mind that the epidemic deaths we

are seeing (“Googlingâ€) in the military are sudden cardiac deaths--not

" suicides " and not " accidental drug overdoses " as claimed by Surgeon General

of the Army B. Schoomaker. In " accidental drug overdose " (as in the

case of Heath Ledger which Schoomaker cites) the mechanism of death is one

of central nervous system depression, gradually leading to respiratory

failure, gradually leading to heart failure, gradually leading to heart

stoppage and death. Such a gradual progression would be resulting in victims

being found alive in various degrees of coma, many surviving transport to

hospitals and surviving--many with a return to normal. This is not what we are

" Googling " . The vast majority is found dead with a few almost dead

surviving transport to a hospital but never beyond that. There appear to be

quite a few sudden and relatively sudden cardiac deaths in soldiers during

exertion and exercise, a complication of their drug-induced QT prolongation

plus exertion leading to fatal arrhythmia and death.

I think there is no doubt as in this case that we will find parallel

epidemics of sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) in every psychiatric population given

such absolutely reckless, anti-scientific, never-justifiable psychotropic

polypharmacy. Nor does it take many antipsychotics, TCAs (tricyclic

antidepressants) or stimulants (Ritalin, etc). I submit it is already

occurring in

psych hospital populations (see attached) and may be happening in

populations of prisoners (see attached) where this is an increasingly popular

management tactic. Or, should I call it " treatment. "

The Surgeon General, Senators Jim Webb, Carl Levin, and the House and

Senate Armed Services and Veterans Committees seem disinclined to believe this

is happening. I wonder what they think is killing one to a few per hundred

20 year old soldiers in their sleep if not the 5, 10 or 15 prescribed

psychotropic drugs it has become Pentagon policy to give out like M & Ms, often

with no record-keeping. The prescribing, I would point out, makes them no

less deadly. These patterns of prescribing make them far more deadly. And

why is the psychiatric diagnosing/labeling and drugging coerced/forced?

To the money trail.

Within the 2009 calendar year antipsychotic monotherapy (Ray et al)

antidepressant monotherapy (Whang et al) and psychostimulant monotherapy (Gould

et al) have all been proved to cause SCD. If they do it alone—as

monotherapy-- what are we to suspect from combinations and supra-maximal doses?

The story of a young teen from Ventura CA, long off her Ritalin is

appended. This past Saturday I attended the funeral of a 38 year-old young

man,

son or a friend of mine. Like all of these cases, he was found dead. He

was different in that he had a known history of heart trouble. He was

similar, perhaps, in that—as his father’s tribute brought out—that he had

“

struggled with ADHD.†I can only read between the lines. One day I may ask

my friend.

Thanks Jim.

p.s. Anyone hearing of such cases please contact me with the details.

Someone in Foggy Bottom will wake up one of these days. How long will

Schoomaker be the propagandist?
