Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Ken, I sent this letter, hope they read it !! Jim Hi, Critical information that should be printed and distributed amongst any and all that would decide on Teen Screen for your children. This exact link discusses the fact that studies show there is no evidence that screening for suicide reduces suicide. http://www.ahrp.org/infomail/04/05/21.php Another link from the same site ( I like this site because they keep the old press online) Dr. Jane Orient, the Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons takes a rip at the whole screening idea. http://www.ahrp.org/infomail/04/12/23a.php Here is another link that goes into the FDA supression of critical data on the dangers of antidepressants. http://www.ahrp.org/infomail/04/05/25.php Now the FDA and drug companies have been saying that suicide is normal for people taking these drugs due to the nature of depression. but I have several stories of people that were prescribed antidepressants for pain and other off label use that killed themselves within the week of starting the drugs. They were not depressed. You have probably seen this site since it's from your neck of the woods. A little ways down you will see that 19 million dollars was spent by Columbia U to put together Teen Screen. Where did they get that money and why did they remove that reference to the money on their website while it is still on other sites that copied Columbia's site. Both references have the same date. http://www.psychsearch.net/teenscreen.html This press talks about the way your children can be screened if you do not request them not too. This is like telling you who is going to be President and then requesting that you write back to oppose this if you want, so if you don't get the note in time you have by default said " yes I want Adolf Hitler for President " for example. http://www.southbendtribune.com/stories/2005/01/19/living.20050119-sbt-MICH-D2-S\ tudent_s_parents_ob.sto There is much discussion over the safety and actually validity of psychiatry and it's drugs. We hear the 3rd leading cause of death in children is suicide. But a kid is ten times more likely to die in a car wreck than by suicide. Seems like a better seatbelt would be a smarter bet than this screening which will lead to drugging. Could it be all that money the drug companies will make? these drugs are hard to quit, like street drugs, these drugs make a lot of money. 19 million dollars on a questionable solution that makes a ton of money for the biggest biz in the country. A completely healthy 19 year old girl hangs herself during study of Eli Lilly's latest antidepressant drug. The FDA went on to approve this drug. http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/Traci--19-duloxetine4.htm Notice Shaffer is mentioned defending the drug, Mr. Shaffer is part of the Teen Screen group, you can read about him again at the earlier link http://www.psychsearch.net/teenscreen.html hope this helps you, Jim Austin, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
