If 100 million Americans have high cholesterol and only 8 million have
schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, how can AstraZeneca’s Seroquel, not
cholesterol pill Crestor, be its second best selling pill?

Right after its number one pill, the Purple Performer Nexium?

Can anyone say disease mongering?

For years, AstraZeneca has tried to convince depressed people they are
really bipolar and need to take the atypical antipsychotic Seroquel
(quetiapine fumarate) which is only approved for schizophrenia or
bipolar disorder.

“Is It Really Depression or Could It Be Bipolar Disorder?” trumpet
the ads, urging unaware victims to take a Symptom Quiz and find out
how sick they really are.

Full color spreads run in general interest magazines showing a
rampaging woman her mouth contorted - think female Dark Knight -
asking readers is this you?

“Are there periods of time when you have racing thoughts? Fly off the
handle at little things? Spend out of control? Need less sleep? Feel
irritable? You may need treatment for bipolar disorder.”

Now the FDA says AstraZeneca can not - repeat not - market Seroquel
for depression.

Tommy Davis is lying about my religion!

Scientology DOES NOT support psych drugs!



I am outraged by what our supposed "spokesman" Tommy Davis said on
television on January 8, 2009. He says that it's okay to use
antiseizure psych drugs in Scientology. This is disgusting and
clearly
false. LRH was very clear. To receive Scientology auditing, you have
to stop taking antiseizure drugs.

They say Jett Travolta was on Depakote to control his seizures in the
past. DEPAKOTE IS A PSYCH DRUG! It is used in psych-invented
conditions like bipolar disorder. The CCHR website even lists
Depakote
is a dangerous psych drug.

Let's get one thing straight, I hate the anti-Scientologists and the
Anonymous cyberterrorists who have been attacking my religion. But I
have borrowed this video that seems like their kind of thing, because
for once I agree with the outrage.

Scientology management and our celebrity members have been doing
things that are out-tech and out-ethics. I have seen so many
outpoints, from the squirreling of the Basics to this latest flap.
Why
isn't Tom Cruise condemning the Travoltas for using harmful psych
drugs on their son? In the 2004 IAS video he said he doesn't hesitate
to put ethics in on somebody else, but now he is being reactive and
supporting the use of psych drugs.

If what his lawyer said is true, John Travolta chose to poison his
son
with the psych drug Depakote.

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but the last few years in the
Church
of Scientology have not been good. I believe this indicates there are
SPs in Scientology management. I can no longer pretend that the
Church
is running well. But I am still a Scientologist because I know in my
heart that the tech works.

1) Marty Rathbun is not in Europe.

2) His writing style is a lot more sophisticated as yours

3) Use your own name for posting or is your own name so bad that you
have to be ashamed of it and have to steal it from Marty?
