Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 ???? Elanco, a subsidiary of Eli Lilly, makes antibiotics and antiprotozoans and other chemicals to be fed to production animals, to " guarantee a safe and affordable food supply. " Of course, they are all poisons, and deadly to the environment, and probably not so good for us either, but they are not making drugs there which are deliberately designed to be brain-impairing and mind-altering people- destroying cash generators. gertie > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ > Elanco | Worldwide Locations | Costa Rica > http://www.elanco.com/locations.htm > -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ > > > Eli Lilly Costa Rica > La Uruca, 100 mts oeste de Faco > Condominio La Virgen, #1 > Local 10, San José > Costa Rica > Phone: 506-257-11-57 > FAX: 506-256-49-59 > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ > > Re: college massacre > > In a message dated 4/17/2007 3:10:46 AM Pacific Standard Time, > SSRI medications writes: > > You know what I don't get, is we came to this country to get away from this > crap and yet it still followed us years later. > > And I left this country to get away from THIS nightmare -- I made sure this > sort of thing had never happened in Costa Rica, and now I worry that the > expats on mind dope will play out one of these tragedies in my newly adopted > country.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi, I'm Asian and no, I believe all my doctors, and I've had plenty, are unaware of how my Asian ancestry messes me up with their Western drugs.

Here is the proof. http://www.camsociety.org/issues/crisisinmentalhealth.htm Antidepressants and Anxiolytics in Asian Americans 1 Small studies that need further confirmation. 2. Genetic polymorphisms in P450 enzyme systems may account for observations that lower target dosages may be needed in some Asian, Hispanic and African American patients. 3. Benzodiazepines: data is variable, but possible Cmax and AUC higher in Asian subjects than whites (Lin 1988, Psychopharmacology). Body weight and volume of distribution effects may play a key role 4 Clinical Guideline: start with half the usual dose, titrate to minimum effective dose slowly over 4 wks. If no response, and no major limiting side effects, titrate further. Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
