Help needed to comb through the FDA's adverse reaction reports

[Guest guest]

Thanks Lana!

Hi,

If there's anyone out there with some spare time on

their hands, I need help doing some research. I need

some people to go into the FDA's maude search engine,

open up some of the adverse reaction reports and print

them.

There are 1,618 that we can access. 2001-2002,

2000-1999. it's like that.

The FDA has made it as hard as they can to go in and

gather all of this information. But, if we work as a

team, we can do it.

Each person would print out all of that years

accessable reports and we will compare them. ie... how

many were reported by doctors? how many report gel

migrating in other areas of the body... ovaries,

armpits, etc: and how many reported secondary

exspoure, and so on.

If anyone is interested please let me know I need at

least 6 or more volunteers. Some of the years have

over 500 hundred reports made.

I will take the largest years. example

2004-2005 51 reports

2000-2001 173 reports

1998-1999 216 reports

The search engine will not allow me to gain more than

500 reports per year.

If we cordinate this, it should be doable. It would be

too much for anyone to do alone. Too time consumming.

The FDA is constantly providing us with the

information that we need to fight them, we just have

to use what they give us! Lana
