Depression - SSRI Drug Warning

Safe & Effective Natural Alternatives

"they don't want you to know about"

 

Dr. Ann Blake Tracy is warning people of how SSRI drugs

 are causing patients to commit MURDER & SUICIDE!!!

 

Dr. Ann Blake Tracy Executive Director of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness, spoke about the hidden dangers of SSRI antidepressant pharmaceuticals and how to safely withdraw from them.  She also discussed REM Sleep Behavior Disorder.  According to Dr. Tracy, nothing reaches brain cells faster and begins the body's own healing process better than these UNIQUE essential oils.

 

Dr. Ann Blake Tracy is currently touring around the world warning, educating and bringing awareness to people addressing the seriousness of antidepressants; how they damage the body and brain, the horrible-terrifying and UNHEARD outcome effects these drugs cause, how doctors got the the whole serotonin hypothesis backwards with these medications, and that there are natural alternatives.

 

LIVE From the 2002 Young Living Annual Seminar

[D. Gary Young, N.D. speaks]

 

Dr. Ann Blake Tracy has an active life in supporting in health care well being, and holds a PhD doctor and health sciences with the emphases on psychology.  For the past nine years has testified as an expert witness in court cases evolving estrogenic drugs and has lectured about these drugs.  She has the international collision for drug awareness, a non-profitable group organized to raise awareness's of dangerous prescription drugs, the third leading cause of death in America.

 

In October 1998 from a British woman nurse...I started having bad reactions.  I found Prozac to be causing joint and muscle pain itself.  I also became concerned that I was developing signs of Cushing syndrome.  I was very pro-Prozac until last October and wouldn't have listened to anything said against it until I got problems.  Thought it was saving my life, but while all the time was acidulously slowly killing me.  When I first heard about Dr. Ann Blake Tracy's book I was interested but quite skeptical.  However, reading it and have suffered with so many problems with Prozac—I have came to conclusion the book is brilliant and a life-wined as far as I am concerned.  I tried to fault the research and reasoning but could not and still can't.  I would to extend my thanks to you for your heroic stance on this erroneous important issue.  I have tremendous respect and admiration for your hard work, determination and courage for pursing this subjects so vigorously.  Again so much powerful aberration for the benefit of people like me.  Your integrity put many, if not most, doctors and psychiatrist to shame.  It is reassuring to find there are few people in the world who are prepared to fight for the truth, for the benefit of mankind.

 

Dr. Ann Blake Tracy has given her life to be an informant, an educator, and a teacher and marched against the odds as many have and continue to do. 

 

[Dr. Ann Blake Tracy speaks]

 

I have followed the work of D. Gary Young (an essential oil expert) twelve or thirteen years now, its been a very long time, and I've been very impressed to with what I have seen; the growth he has made and the way he has worked to educate the world.

 

I just wrote a forward for Jim Lynn's book The Miracle of Healing and the Christian Church today. And in that I discussed Revolution chapter 18, verses 21-24; where it says that... the sorceries that flow out of Babylon will deceive the whole world.  Now when you read what sorcery is, the Greek translation is Pharmacia; which means "medicine from a pharmacy".  It says the violence produced by those medicine from a pharmacy will destroy Babylon and that many prophets, saints and good men will die as a result of massive deception that will cover the earth.  That is what I have dealt with over the last ten years.

 

Diabetes has sky-rocketed in Utah in the last decade as a direct result of these antidepressants, divorce as it was the lowest is now over the national average and hit that point over four years ago, bankruptcy is up so high that one can believe to what is happening, domestic violence is up.  It is just absolutely incredible to what we are seeing.  But as she goes in and sees how these drugs work, by what they do to the body and what they do to the brain, you will begin to see to what is happening.

 

 But don't give up!  Because I will tell you,

these essential oils come to the rescue.

 

You need to understand, that when you go in with a chemical drugs and attempt to block out a bad feeling you can not target to only blocking a bad feeling, you are blocking all feeling.  Many people come off these medications because they say they can not feel anything; not good, not bad, not love, not hate.  Many of them say all they can feel is anger.

 

Dr. Candis Pert, I believe was featured in the last newsletter, she is a dear friend—now.  Dr. Candis Pert was one of the two developers of the serotonin binding process that made these drugs possible.  She made a statement in Time magazine just 4 years ago, calling these drugs "Monsters".  That she was alarmed that she had anything to do with their creation.  Never in the history of medicine has a developer of any particular medication come out as strongly as Dr. Pert did, especially while the drugs were still on the market.  Four years later, how many patients are being told that the developer is alarmed that the Monster that the doctor is handing to them.  When warned that with these antidepressants especially in longer term use, we'd see the same thing with Phen-Fen, or Redux.  Because you see the drugs we are discussing here are not just Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox, Effexor, Serzone, Ipsapirone, Anafranil, Eltoprazine, BuSpar, Gepirone, Deseryl,  but also Phen-Fen, Redux, Meridia, and the diet pills as well, work on serotonin levels. 

 

With Phen-Fen and Redux we learned that high serotonin levels produce a gluey, gummy, glossy substance that builds up on the heart valves to keep the valve from shutting.  The law suites are still being filed four years later.  We also know that high levels of serotonin will cause a gluey, gummy, glossy to build up in the brain tissue; we call that "Alzheimer".  

 

Dr. Pert warned of these things.  We know another reason of why you should NOT increase serotonin levels.  I will explain to you what the history has shown over the last 50 years since serotonin was first discovered, It is a natural substance and does exist in the brain.  Dr. Philip Sulman, a researcher in Israel, did the initial research on serotonin, he found it was a toxin in the brain, kind of a different story from what you've always heard on the television screen isn't it.  He said it was toxins that will cause individuals that were not able to metabolize this particular chemical to suffer from anxiety, depression–but I thought serotonin was low–the whole serotonin hypothesis is backwards with these medications.  What you need to know if you look at the research on serotonin, serotonin levels are high in schizophrenia, autism, mania, mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, organic brain disease, mental retardation, Alzheimer's, anorexia–anyone want to stand in line for those–and yet we've have been lead to believe to what we need to do is increase serotonin levels. 

 

What these drugs do; they way they work in increasing serotonin levels is that they impair the body's ability to metabolize serotonin.  They literally interfere with your metabolism, so that sertonin will build up in the system.  When serotonin builds up we know that it produces (keep in mind, this inability to metabolize) according to research the last 50 years, will produce depression, anxiety, it will produce irritability, pain around the heart, difficulty breathing, worsening bronchial complaints, tension and anxiety that appear from out of nowhere—the list is long.  It will also produce reckless driving; I was talking about road-rage long before you heard the tem.  I wrote about this in my book and about the patients two they were feeling on these medications. 

 

Let me just report a few cases.

 

Andrea and Rusty Yates family, I was on of the consultants in that case, Andrea was on TWO of these antidepressants at MAXIMUM DOSE.  There has been an adjustment in the medication two days before this happened, the adjustment alone was enough to cause to what had happened in this family (Andrea killed her 5 children to whom she loved very much).

 

We have a chart here, did an article in the Washington Times which list some of the court cases I've worked on, I have testified in these court cases for the last 10 years. 

 

Just a few really famous cases:

 

Del Shannon, the singer from the 60s he had the hit song "run-away", committed suicide three weeks on Prozac; his case has been settled by the pharmaceutical company. 

 

Joseph Wesbecker who went on a shooting rampage in Kentucky killing eight people in total (seven people, then turning the gun on himself); that case has been settled–looks to be about 50million dollars, that has been kept a secret, but what we can determine that was the amount. 

 

Officer Stephen Christian, one of Dallas's finest officers ran into a police station and started shooting while wearing plain clothing; that case has been settled by the pharmaceutical company.  The Donald Shell case that happened in Gillette Wyoming and the jury ruled Paxil, that only two pills was the cause for Donald Shell to shoot his wife, daughter, baby granddaughter, then himself; the jury awarded 6.4 million dollars to that family. 

 

The LaSong case, a man that drowned his two children then himself in the same bathtub; that case was settled by the Paxil company.  Phil Hartman, the comedian who's wife shot him then himself, I was the expert in that case and worked very closely with that family; wonderful children. 

 

Columbine–we go to court on columbine in November, I am glad to tell you that two weeks ago we got a new attorney on the columbine case; that was shocking to the drug company.  The day after, they pulled Luvox from the American market; that was the drug Eric was on the day he went to psychotic and went on a shooting spree with his friend Dillon; to this day we do not know what he was on because his records have been sealed the last three years.  We are hoping the law suite will bring that out to the public. 

 

The Salt Lake Family History Library shoot-out, that killed a good friend of mine who I warned over and over abut the dangers he was facing in his position; a 70 year old man went on that shooting rampage and came from a good family. 

 

The Atlanta Day Trader; Mark Barton that went on a shooting spree in Atlanta, he killed his family then went to an office then killed several other people then killed himself. 

 

The New York City subway bomber; Edward Leary. 

 

The Connecticut Lottery shooting...these are not brought to you on the evening news.  You need to know that every one of these was induced by one of these antidepressants and they are going to court.  There are many more right under our noses.

 

Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical company is the company that introduced Prozac to the world which was the drug that everyone else copied to get their cut of that golden goose because Prozac made so much money for Lilly.  You need to know something about Lilly; and that is the fact that is the same company who gave us LSD in 1956.  We were told that LSD was going to cure mental illness and cure alcoholism and was going to aid in psychoanalysis–I don't think any of us believe that today!...I wonder if they just pulled out all their old files and said let's call it Prozac this time and see how far we can get.  Because LSD and PCP (by the way PCP was a safe effective prescription medication for seven years before it got pulled off the market–LSD it took an act of congress to pull), these two drugs are also serenic agents that work almost identically to these new antidepressants.

 

One doctor I have done radio shows with for years, calls these new antidepressants "A Slow Fuse LSD".  Now I know you all heard Gary Young talk about cortisol, and I want to tell you a little about these drugs and cortisol levels.  Because I want you to understand what's going on in the body and the brain to cause these reactions to happen to people.

 

One single 30ml dose of Prozac; that is a pill and a half, given to someone that never took it before and never takes it again, will double the cortisol levels...one dose doubles these levels!  Now if you look at research to what high cortisol levels do (we know it causes brain damage, by the way) its called cushy syndrome when cortisol levels are too high. 

 

The symptoms include the hump of the top of the spine at the back of the neck, rounded body while legs and arms small, the body like a rounded ball, the rounded face you will see in Down Syndrome or Mongoloidism, emotional inadvisability with moods fluctuating from degrees of euphoria or mania and full psychosis, the dropping to the depths of depression–this is high cortisol...irritability, decreased ability to deal with stress, decreased glucose tolerance (that is why we end up with all the hypoglycemic and diabetes), muscle weakness brought on with potassium lose and/or actual metabolism of muscle mass, fractures due to decrease bone mineral, retarded bone growth in children, edema, extruding of abdominal cavity (and I explain to people whether your a male or female you look pregnant after using these drugs), girdle obesity, fluid retention around the face and eyes, acne, can even cause abnormal mammary gland function in men, to the extent of producing milk, can cause masculine features in women, peptic ulcers, capillary weakness brought on by protein loss, hypertension is produced by sodium and water retention, increase production in andren steroids, decrease immune system, suppressed inflammation response (now that can mass some really serious infections, you get poor wound healing), renal disorders, tissue wasting, bone demineralization, and also you get calcium in the urine.  So these are some of the things you get with increase of cortisol. 

 

Now I hope you can begin to see how the body is deterriating when by increasing cortisol levels; literally doubling them on a daily basis–I can't think of any thing more damaging to the body or the brain than the huge increase of cortisol. 

 

Autism.  We just heard that there has been a hue increase in Autism (remember what I said about high serotonin levels) they are found in Autism.  One patient on Prozac that had three children (by the way they are keeping pregnant women on these medications; I have many nurses that are extremely upset about this and coming to me; you need to know that the drug effects the brain we will not know until that brain is full developed what the extent of the damage has been, so we will not know until about ten years later to what damage was produced and of course by then its way too late); this woman has had three Autistic children before it dawned on her it may be her medication.  How many more of those is out there, we don't know, no one is looking for them.

 

We have studies now that show Prozac turns brain cells into cork screw shapes (which is a technical/medical way of saying it screws up your brain).  Seritonin has just been found to cause liver damage and there is now a black-box warning on that particular one.  My first concern on these medications was not the changes in personality, but it was the damage to the liver and the damage to the pancreas.  I had one young patient who has been on Prozac for one year, he was a return Mormon missionary, so you know he did not drink, he never touched alcohol in is life.  After a year on Porzac the doctors tested his liver and told him he had the lover of a 50 year old alcoholic. 

 

Studies show that exercise three times a day for one-half hour is eight times greater than antidepressantsno side effects either.  Sugar pills we have learned are 25% more affective than antidepressants.  Seven to ten the Caucasian population do not have the liver function to metabolize the drugs.  These drugs are highly protein bound and accumulate in the brain tissue at an alarming rate; 100 times more than in the blood, so it takes along time to flush out your system.  That is why its hard to come off these drugs.  We just learned there is a 700% increase in breast cancer with Paxil (700%!).

 

FDA is now working on getting something approved of where about 55% of the employees at the FDA will actually be funded by and paid for by these drug companies.  There will be drug company employees working at the FDA.

 

Now as we mentioned the Essential Oils come to the rescue.  The Omega-3 oils are absolutely incredible for brain function.  I went to a conference at the National Insatiate of Health where doctors around the world presented their information on how wonderfully the Omega-3 oils are good for seizers, schizophrenia, mania, depression, anxiety, hyperactivity and PMS (which is now a terrible mental disorder) and Prozac with the name changed to Sarafem to give to that, and Zoloft too. 

 

But one women came to me to let me know, she had suffered brain damage from Zoloft, it was quickly repaired using Clarity and Joy essential oil blends, now that we have BrainPower she would have used that as well.  So the oils are actually repairing brain damage from these drugs. 

 

I got a call from a woman I worked with four years, she had a terrible reaction to Prozac, a very immediate reaction that she has not been able to overcome.  She tried all kinds of alternatives.  Finally, she called me and said, "those oils really work!".  I said yes I know, that is shy I told you to use them four years ago.  She said that she just got Clarity and BrainPower essential oil blends and for the first time since I had that reaction years ago, I actually got up from watching my favorite television show and did some housework...I used to have a maid come in and do it.

 

Another woman whose son had a terrible reaction to these drugs called me to let me know that her son went out to play golf with his grandfather and she asked him to put Valor (essential oil blend) on the back of his neck before going.  This was his first time using the Valor It was so profound, the grandfather called the mother and said what on earth did you do to this kid! (He was just with him three days ago doing something else with him), but here out playing golf, had to find a phone to call the mother immediately and said what is happening.  He said from a scale of 1 through 10; this day has been a 11 or a 12 for this boy.  The mother said she could not believe the difference in her son with this.

 

One thing I want you to understand about these oils, that the most important thing I think they can do after using these antidepressants, is to get the pineal gland working again.  Because you see 50% of the serotonin the system is metabolized (remember that is what the drugs impair—the ability to metabolism of serotonin) 50% of the serotonin metabolized in the pineal gland.  The pineal is known as the third eye, the seed of the soul, the connection to the higher self, the connection to the spirit.  When the pineal gland is over loaded that is shy when you have people like Andrea Yates who said she felt processed, feel they are being lead by someone else's brain, that connection is being severed by the high levels of serotonin with in the brain.

 

These people that have need help, need to control their blood sugar.  That problem is why the have depression to begin with.  Let people know that there is alternatives.  These drugs could react out in sleep walk state, creating you worst nightmare.  Andrea Yates acted out her worst nightmare by killing her own kids.

 

From the 2004 Young Living Seminar

[Dr. Ann Blake Tracy concluded]

 

The REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (SBD) is something I wrote about in my book with the brain wave patterns chart.  In these brain wave patterns the patient is in a total anesthetic sleep state while they appear alert and functioning; that is a REM SBD.  That means you are asleep having a dream that you are really acting out. 

 

Research now shows 80% of all diagnosed cases of the REM SBD are patients on SSRI antidepressants—released by the New York Times in January, 6% of REM SBD diagnosed patients are on older antidepressants; totaling 86% of this horrible disorder where you will act out your worst nightmare—caused by these antidepressants.

 

Example of this is the Yates case.  Andrea Yates killed her five children who she loved and devoted her time to, as far as, home schooling them.  She acted her worst nightmare while on two of these drugs maximum dose!  In Phoenix Arizona a teacher, well-mannered, a calm and nice man stabbed his wife numerous times leaving her to die in her pool of blood.  He too suffered from REM SBD. 

 

What is worse that the 86% diagnosed patients on antidepressants is that the adverse sleep effects continues months even years after withdrawn from the serotonergic agents.  One patient soon after starting on Prozac has the disturbance of the REM SBD which continued to persist 19 months after coming off from the drug.

 

That's why it is critical to know how to withdraw from these drugs without throughing your body into shock; to withdraw properly and to rebuild using the essential oils and nutrition.

 

From the 2004 Young Living Semi-Annual Convention

[Dr. Ann Blake Tracy concluded]

 

The United Kingdom has banded all antidepressants to those 18 years of age and under.

 

In the Elli Lilly Laboratory, Tracy Johnson, a young girl age 19 (not 18 or under) but 19, a healthy volunteer, taking the newest SSRI antidepressant that is suppose to be approved this simmer called Symbulta; she has been taking it 20 days and off of it 4 days (or withdrawal for 4 days) when hung herself in the Elli Lilly laboratory.

 

That got rid of their excuses they'd use a decade and an half, saying that it is the underline depression that is causing these suicides.  Tracy Johnson has already been documented to not having any underline depression, she had no underline physical illness.  According to the them, she was healthy, that's why she was in the study.  Then March 22nd, the FDA followed the advice of their advice committee and issued the warning nationwide to ask all antidepressant makers to put on their product labeling that these drugs do cause suicide and aggression.

 

Then the day after that, came the first congressional hearing into that what the FDA knew, when they knew it, and why they didn't warn sooner.  This past Monday March 29th, on CBS evening news with Dan Rather, there is evidence of a FDA cover-up on the issue of suicide with antidepressants in children.  So we now have a second congressional hearing to what is happening with these antidepressants and the cover-up that has come.

 

[weeping] It has been a decade and a half of having to listen, over and over, everyday to the most horrifying tragedies anyone could ever imagine.  And everyday I have said, if only people could have hear to what I hear everyday, they'd do something; they'd stop this.  Well February 2nd, as I was the 3rd speaker that day in front of the FDA; I stood back and heard one family after another, after another, that I have helped over the years, tell the FDA and the whole world what had happened and they listened.  Even though 9 out of 10 had money screaming at them; they heard.  I prayed, that finally something is going to be done.  I have always said, if you think Phen-Fen and Redux was a horrible drug fiasco in this century, wait till what you see what we will learn about these antidepressants.  I can't  remember the last time a congressional hearing was called to look into the issue of prescription drugs.  We now have two.

 

Also this week, in People, if you open to where Tracy's picture was, is a picture of a father and mother, who are our directors in Pennsylvania, Kathy and Tom Woodward, who lost their daughter Julie.  And they are talking about what happened to their daughter; Tome and Kathy are a wonderful couple, their daughter was only 17.  Julie, took her life after 7 days on Zoloft.  Julie is not alone.

 

Guess what hit the wires this morning in the news? 

 

The increase of antidepressant youths

 of children 0-5 years of age  is up 64%!!!

 

Some of the info I presented February 2nd to the FDA, my great concern of so many pregnant women in this country being put on these antidepressants.  Babies―new born babies―going through horrific withdrawal at childbirth.  WHAT ON EARTH DO WE THINK WE ARE DOING TO THE HUMAN RACE, FOR A CHILD THIS AGE, COULD BE PRESCRIBED AN ANTIDEPRESSANT. 

 

One other thing I am excited is for Merrill Ozman coming forward to tell people what he  has been through, the long list of medications he has been put on over the years, and what it has put his family through.  And then for him to say, "hey Young Living did it for me...look at me now..I am totally drug free...this is incredible."  If more of us could speak out about that, and tell the world that what we need is to be nourished, we don't have to be forced into undesirable moods we don't want to be in.

 

Get out there and share with others.  Because at this point, with all theses warnings going out, what worries me the most is people trying to coming off these drugs and not knowing how.  I do have a cassette tape out of how to come off theses drugs safely.  And natural things you can use to get better.  What oils to use to come off these medications.  Please share that with others, you can save lives.  Because far too many people think they can just stop these medications―the can not.

 

Can you imagine a child going through withdrawal?―that is sickening.   I have adults calling me with tears in their eyes because they can't take the withdrawal they are going through.

 

Now here is Mark Taylor.  Mark was the first one shot at Columbine, he was shot 7 to 13 times, laid there an hour praying his life be spared before someone found him.  Thinking Mark was dead, as they went around around picking up dead bodies, put Mark in the pile of other dead bodies.  When at the hospital a doctor discovered that "this one was still alive".  Mark was in the hospital 50 days.

 

[Mark Taylor speaks out]

 

One of the main reasons I travel with Dr. Tracy is I believe in what with philosophers always said, "your are what your eat".  If you eat lots of sugars, your body gets sick.  If you put pills in your mouth and swallow them, it increases the serotonin in your brain.  It causes you do do what Eric Harris and Dillon did.  We have drug research on the drug companies and filed a lawsuit against them.  They actually admitted in the court room that tested drugs actually did cause Eric Harris to have psychotic reactions.  That pretty much says we created Columbine out loud.  So we put most of the blame on them.  We try to get info out as mush as possible. 

 

Many people do not believe the way you eat can alter the way you act.  And I am a strong believer in that.  We know that Eric Harris was eating a lot of cheese pizza and mixing it with dairy.  Your not suppose to do that.  I pray that you support Dr. Tracy in what she is doing. 

 

What oils do I use?  I use Young Living's oils.  My favorites are Lavender and Peace & Calming.  I didn't believe in them at first to tell you the truth.  I said to Dr. Tracy, "oh, you are just trying to get me hooked on something else!"  Once I used it I got immediate results. 

 

[Back to Dr. Ann Blake Tracy]

 

They wanted me to tell you a little bit about what is in my tape about what oils to use―I will condense it.  Some of the first products of Young Living's I'd recommend is PowerMeal―anything to help regulate the blood sugar, its very important to get the blood sugar balanced; and Theives™ oil blend, because the blood sugar is going crazy when withdrawal from these antidepressants and also will help with psychotic breaks that come with the withdrawal.

 

Other oils that people reported that really helped them are Joy™ oil blend (you got to remember, Joy contains Belmont which has been used for centuries for bipolar or manic depression) and Clarity™ oil blend (because of the confusion you will get), BrainPower™ oil blend of course (you got to get the pineal gland to work again, its just been too much overload with too much serotonin, because the main function of the pineal gland is metabolism of serotonin.  It handles 50% of the serotonin in the system), and Frankincense after these drugs (because of the risk of getting cancer; we know Paxil increases the risk of breast cancer by 7%.  So if you are getting an increase with one of them, they all work the same way, they are all going to do it), Idaho Balsam Fir is another one I'd strongly recommend because of its effect on cortislol (because these drugs raise cortisol at an absolute alarming rate, you got to do that).  Those are the main things I'd recommend. 

 

Study my audio tape and study my book, and learn what is happening chemically, and physically as a result of these drugs, it will give you more ideas to what these people are going to need.  They have a lot of muscle pain because fibormyalgia is high serotonin levels.  Your main function of serotonin is constriction of smooth muscle tissue; so if you try and use muscles that are constricted, they will rip and tear.  So work on the muscles and also the organs of the body for smooth muscle tissue.  The intestinal track is smooth muscle tissue, that is why you et constipation so often with these drugs.  So yes, both things like Juva Power will help both intestinal track and the liver.  You have to work on the liver, the liver is extremely toxic.  The two organs I was most concerned about with these drugs in the beginning, was the liver and the pancreas.  And those are the two organs that are hit the strongest by those groups of drugs.  Those two organs are going to really, really, need help.
