Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 You know, I went and read more reviews and they say very little about the child who was murdered. Leland looks like a big hero. Terrific. The really scary thing about this is, teenagers are so impressionable. Okay, they're STUPID! I have no doubt in my mind that some idiot is going to see this movie and try to be a " hero. " I'll never trust another teenager once this comes out. Shit, why did they have to make a movie like this???? Why??????????????? I'm going to write a nasty letter right now. Screw this.

The thing is, they'd never DARE make the murdered child Down's or with cerebral palsy or even mentally retarded. But autism is so " scary " . That pisses me off.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Tysabri will include new warning label for Multiple Sclerosis patients November 7, 8:32 AMMultiple Sclerosis ExaminerMike Szymanski Previous Comment Print Email RSS Subscribe Subscribe Get alerts when there is a new article from the Multiple Sclerosis Examiner. Read Examiner.com's terms of use. Email Address Include other special offers from Examiner.com Terms of Use Tysabri is given by infusion Biogen.comThe more you take Tysabri, the more likely a potentially deadly brain infection could occur. That's what the new label is going to say on the prescription for Tysabri for patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Biogen Idec Inc. and Elan Corp., the companies manufacturing Tysabri, are adding the new information when prescribing the drug, according to Bloomberg News in a report Saturday (Nov. 7).' The possiblity of contracting the often-fatal brain disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy or PML, increases after two years of having the Tysabri infusions. In 2005, the drug was temporarily suspended after a few cases were reported, and recently the Europeans are considering suspending the medication after 23 cases and four deaths were reported. The rate of infection is 1 in 1,000 for patients on the drug from 24 to 36 months, and the rate beyond three years isn't known, according to Biogen Idec spokeswoman Naomi Aoki. At the moment, 43,300 people are on Tysabri. The company expected to have more than 100,000 patients by the end of 2010. About 13,400 have been on it two years or more. Commentary: I have been on Tysabri and fall into the time that is considered dangerous, but my neurologist schedules regular blood tests.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Dudley, Read your open letter to those with MS. Great info! Thank you. I was diagnosed with MS 3 years ago, refused all pharmaceutical drugs and embarked on a holistic approach. I am doing many of your recommendations but in addition I do juicing daily. I drink about a quart of fresh green juices daily. I swear by getting these live nutrients and enzymes into the body daily! One green I juice regularly is cilantro which is great for chelation of heavy metals from the body. Talking about heavy metals, I have a mouth full of silver and 3 root canals. I have an appt with a holistic dentist to come up with a plan to have them all removed. Has anyone else done the same? What kind of results have you experienced? Thanx!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Dudley Delany.... In regard to colloidal silver......this stuff scares me. I saw a guy on TV who turned blue....yes, BLUE from using this stuff. I would like to kill those nasty little micro organisms but would rather not be blue. How did this happen? Recommendations? ~j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
