The Dark History of SSRIs

**UPDATE**

Please see this 17 minute video by The Highwire on new science showing long term issues even after discontinuing SSRIs including sexual dysfunction and ‘brain zaps.’ Despite this, ‘the powers that be’ want to make these dangerous drugs over-the-counter.

The Decades of Evidence That SSRI Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings

How Dangerous Must a Drug Be Before it is Pulled from the Market?

Most holistic doctors consider Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) anti-depressants to be one of most harmful mass-prescribed drugs on the market (it typically makes their top 5). However unlike the other drugs, which are just unsafe and ineffective, SSRIs also have a fairly unique problem—they can kill people who are not even taking the drugs.

Note: other common contenders for that list are Statins, NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen), and acid reflux medications (proton pump inhibitors like prilosec). The harms and irrationality of those drugs are discussed here, here and here.

What follows is a revised and updated article summarizing the extreme dangers of those drugs I was requested by a few readers to write in light of recent tragic events.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

This is one of the most important articles I’ve read for a long time.  The reason?  The topic of harm caused by anti-depressants is completely denied and ignored by Big Pharma, Big Media, and Big Medicine. I highly recommend you read this in full and share widely because it affects so many people, particularly Lyme/MSIDS patients who often struggle with psychiatric symptoms including depression.  Educating yourself on this is imperative if not for you than for someone you know.

Executive Summary:

  • While a minority of patients, particularly those with deficient methylation, who take SSRIs greatly benefit from them, much evidence has accumulated that they cause psychotic violence.
  • The author states that out of all of the controversial medical issues, the topic of SSRIs being linked to mass shootings has caused the most vitriol.
  • Unfortunately, like COVID and “vaccines” SSRIs have been highly politicalized, often among party lines.
  • Each time a mass shooting occurs the same script is repeated (ban all guns and have more mental health care [i.e. psych meds] for everyone).
  • Similarly to the “vaccine” topic, the oft repeated argument to dismiss the link between SSRIs and psychotic violence is that “correlation is not causation,” however:
    • clinical trial data hidden from the public gives this evidence
    • a black-box warning states SSRIs increase the risk of suicide
    • the psychotic events are completely out of character and the offenders report a very similar narrative of what they experienced prior to and during the shooting
  • SSRIs which entered the market in 1988 have a similar primary mechanism of action as cocaine
  • The SSRI Prozac received nearly 40,000 adverse events after 9 years which is far more than any other drug. These events include:
    • hundreds of suicides
    • atrocious violent crimes
    • hostility and aggression
    • psychosis, confusion
    • distorted thinking
    • convulsions
    • amnesia
    • brain-zaps
    • long-term or permanent sexual dysfunction
    • homicides: a website has compiled thousands of documented occurrences
  • A significant portion of the article came from the book Deadly Psychiatry and Organized Denial by Peter C. Gøtzsche (which builds upon the critical work Peter Breggin did to expose this issue)
  • For those taking SSRIs, do NOT suddenly stop taking them as you can have very strong withdrawal symptoms.  Please read the stories in the article to see how very serious this is.
  • Psychosis and Akathisia (extreme restlessness) are known side-effects of SSRIs that have led to strange impulses, or suicide, homicide, or both and are so disturbing they are often described as the individual being possessed, and patients have shared they felt as though a dark force was trying to take over their body
  • A clinical investigator wrote to Pfizer that during treatment with SSRIs, patients reported depersonalization and that their range of emotions were blunted as they were unable to feel or express themselves.  Pfizer responded with the admission that this happens with SSRIs and nobody knows why.
  • A common thread has occurred with these violent homicides:
    • the act of violence was immediately preceded by a significant change in the meds 
    • they occur in all ages who were completely normal before the act and no precipitating factors besides the psychiatric medication
    • there were clear symptoms of akathisia
    • the offenders returned to their normal personality when they came off the antidepressant
  • Similarly to the “vaccine” industry, the psychiatric industry aggressively gaslights victims rather than accept any responsibility
  • Individuals with a mutation in the gene that metabolizes psych drugs are much more vulnerable to developing excessive levels of these drugs triggering psychosis and akathisia but this is never considered when the meds are prescribed
  • Gøtzsche reviewed some key SSRI legal cases and in 2001 a jury found a pharmaceutical firm liable for deaths caused by an antidepressant. Central to a case were SmithKline Beecham internal documents showing the company was aware that a small number of people could become agitated or violent from Paxil, but they did not include a package warning about suicide, violence or aggression.  Two volunteers attempted suicide, but the company till denies that Paxil can cause homicides, suicides, and withdrawals.
  • Similarly to the false illusion that remdesivir helps COVID and that the COVID gene therapy injections are effective, Prozac was originally assessed to treat obesity, but was switched for depression which has a subjective metric which was easier to approve with doctored studies (after which they pivoted to using marketing off-label for obesity). “So, even though the evidence showing Prozac worked for depression was atrocious while abundant evidence existed for its harm, with a few well priced bribes and statistical creativity, Eli-Lilly was able to secure their approval.”  Sound familiar?
  • Government corruption has followed a playbook that existed long before the COVID debacle
  • While the COVID injections have complete legal immunity, SSRIs are toxic enough to have severely harmed large numbers of people motivated to fight the drug companies in court
  • The author states he was able to accurately predict and understand the COVID shot shenanigans due to being intimately familiar with the SSRI story.

Sadly, getting a Lyme test is not always helpful.  Since testing is so abysmal, it misses a vast majority of cases – which can be worse in the long run because when the test comes back negative doctors tell patients they don’t have Lyme, when they very well could be infected with numerous life-altering infections.  Getting to an experienced Lyme literate doctor is your best bet as they use more sensitive tests AND they diagnose clinically based on symptoms, not a test with arbitrary antibody levels.

Jacksonville Lyme disease patients say they had to ask a dozen times for a test

Researchers at the University of North Florida say official Lyme disease statistics underestimate the number of people with Lyme disease.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Schools may be out for summer break, but we are now in tick season. As your family spends more time in the fresh air, it’s important to know how to avoid the disease-carrying arachnids.

At the University of North Florida, researchers are working to create a more sensitive test for Lyme disease, a disease that is transmitted through ticks. Needing a more sensitive test and getting doctors to give a Lyme disease test in the first place, are just some of the problems people with Lyme disease say they face.

“It was March 3, 2011,” said Melissa Bell. “He came home from school, I know the exact day because it was a traumatic day, saying, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong, I’m falling down at P.E.’ And then an A+ student started having problems with short term memory, C’s, D’s, F’s, started losing the ability to walk.”

Bell’s son was 11 years old when he started showing symptoms of Lyme disease, but no one knew what it was. Bell, who is now the president of the Florida Lyme Disease Association, says it took nearly a year of advocating for her son to get a diagnosis.

“We probably asked for Lyme testing a dozen times,” Bell said. “It shouldn’t be that hard to have children tested for Lyme disease.”  (See link for article)

Sadly, this is the norm in Lymeland.

“If you get a negative Lyme test, it doesn’t prove that you don’t have the infection,” Clark said.

Novel Therapy Destroys Lyme In Lab

Research Identifies New Investigational Therapy Regimen Capable of Irreversibly Damaging Lyme Bacteria in Laboratory Tests

Inspired by research that targets cancer tumors, these new findings in Lyme could also lead to novel R&D strategies for other diseases. This project was partially funded by Project Lyme, in partnership with the Bay Area Lyme Foundation. Learn more about our funded research here.

Nov. 1, 2023

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif. November 1, 2023 – Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a leading sponsor of Lyme disease research in the US, today announced the development of a potential new drug, HS-291, that targets and destroys Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell Chemical Biology, this laboratory study represents a novel paradigm shift for anti-microbial treatment research as it is the first to target and inhibit Borrelia burgdorferi HtpG (high-temperature protein G), a specific type of enzyme within the bacteria that causes Lyme disease— a condition affecting nearly 500,000 new patients annually. The research was conducted at Duke University School of Medicine, with collaboration from the University of North Carolina, Tulane University, and Stanford University, and HS-291 is currently in preclinical stage testing at UC Davis.

“As Lyme disease is currently treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and there are no targeted treatments, we are particularly excited about this discovery, and hopeful that our novel Lyme disease therapeutic HS-291 will specifically destroy the Lyme bacterium without off-target effects or antibiotic resistance,” said Timothy Haystead, PhD, professor of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, Duke University School of Medicine, Bay Area Lyme Foundation grantee, and co-lead author. “This research has been an incredible opportunity to leverage knowledge from oncology to Lyme disease to design an investigational therapeutic that could one day benefit hundreds of thousands of patients with Lyme.”

This discovery has implications beyond Lyme disease as it demonstrates that using the drug HS-291 to deliver cellular toxins to HtpG, a type of non-essential enzyme that assists the folding or unfolding of large and complex proteins, greatly expands what can be considered druggable within any pathogen and opens a whole new area of infectious disease research.

When activated, HS-291, an inhibitor of HtpG tethered to the photoactive cellular toxin verteporfin, causes discrete protein modifications, which wreaks havoc on the Lyme disease bacterium’s DNA. This impacts multiple processes including nucleoid collapse and cell wall disruptions. A single dose of HS-291, when activated by light, irreversibly damages Borrelia proteins in close proximity of Bb HtpG in vitro.

“Antibiotics used to treat Lyme disease do not always work for all patients, which causes many to suffer for years with extreme symptoms including neurocognitive issues, disabling fatigue and sleep disruption,” said Linda Giampa, executive director of the Bay Area Lyme Foundation. “Bay Area Lyme concentrates on funding innovative research, including projects where knowledge can be deployed from other areas of medicine. We hope that this discovery will inspire others to join us in investing in impactful, translational research to bring relief to patients.”

This research was made possible by a 2020 Bay Area Lyme Foundation grant of more than $2 million to Duke University School of Medicine in honor of Neil Spector, MD, a renowned oncologist who passed away from complications of Lyme disease that had been misdiagnosed for years. He encouraged scientists to take cancer staging techniques and immunotherapy learnings from oncology and apply them to Lyme research. Dr. Spector was the Sandra Coates associate professor in the Duke University Department of Medicine and also served on Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board.

Haystead and Spector joined forces as Spector sought to leverage his knowledge of oncology to help better understand Lyme disease, and Haystead’s research is focused on the use of chemical biology approaches to define novel drug targets focused on the treatment of hypertension, obesity, cancer, inflammatory and infectious disease.

Bay Area Lyme Foundation also funded University of North Carolina collaborator, Matt Redinbo, PhD’s research on HS-291; his lab’s crystallography work was instrumental in the discovery process.

Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s research grant program was made possible by the support from the Fairbairn Family, the Younger Family Fund, and Project Lyme.

The COVID Shot has Directly Killed More Americans Than COVID

540,000 Americans (18K VAERS deaths times an underreporting factor of 30) died directly from the COVID-19 gene therapy injections, according to Dr. Peter McCullough.

The number of COVID deaths on the books is 1.2 million; however, this is all based upon faulty tests and the fact they counted every death as caused by COVID if they had a positive test, even if they had NO symptoms. McCullough states that real COVID mortality is about 10% of that or 120,000 Americans.  

“The government encouraged death certificate coding that was so broadly inclusive that even things that were completely unrelated to COVID or COVID pneumonia, if they tested positive, was counted as a COVID death.  And, we now know the COVID test, the PCR test, can remain positive for many months after the initial infection.”  Dr. Peter McCullough

I recently posted that according to independent research conducted by Sin Hang Lee, faulty COVID testing means COVID cases will be overstated by a factor of 72%!

But, true to form, rather than fix obvious errors in the tests (no positive control sample, no data on false positives, faulty cycle thresholds, and refusal to publish Ct values due to it being “proprietary”,) HHS, FDA, and CDC opt for arbitrary and perpetual diagnosis of COVID.  The same is true in Lymeland only in the reverse: hardly anyone tests positive.  They must control testing.

Further, the CDC has been accused of fraud by systematically misclassifying COVID as the Underlying Cause of Death on death certificates which are subjective and unreliable when making public health decisions.

Lastly, it’s important to remember that under the “Cares ACT” hospitals were bribed every time a patient tested positive (which means they tested them constantly until they got a positive), was diagnosed with COVID, was admitted to the hospital, used toxic but lucrative remdesivir, was ventilated, and injected with the gene therapy injection, and labeled it as a COVID death. One study showed that 70% of COVID deaths were due to ventilation.

In short, since the beginning, every single thing has been stacked in favor of high COVID numbers to create a narrative.

New Zealand: a “Crime Scene”

Ms. Liz Gun, former TV broadcaster and attorney describes New Zealand as a “crime scene” after whistleblowers revealed information about specific “vaccine” sites from 2021 and 2022.

“There are tens of thousands of deaths linked to the jabs. And this is just one of the sites recording this type of information in New Zealand…in one example…on one day, 30 people were jabbed on the same day at the same location.  All [of them] are now deceased.  And their deaths are all in close proximity to one another.”

Gunn is calling for a full criminal investigation int all post-injection deaths.

Gunn started an entirely new political party in June called New Zealand Loyal whose mission is to end the country’s participation in the UN, WEF, and WHO, remove fluoride from the water supply, reduce Glyphosate spraying, protect land from being arbitrarily seized, decentralize government, elevate freedom of choice fr personal heath decisions, and promote alternative holistic health modalities.  Go here for more.

Poor Australia and New Zealand – playground for the globalists.

This article written in May shows that New Zealanders “Desperate to Leave” as Thousands Flee “Controlling and Fearful” Jacina Ardern.  But she just doesn’t care.  She is after all best buds with Bill and Melinda Gates, is the Poster Child for WEB founder Claus Schwab, and became one of the many “Young Global Leaders” in 2014 – even to the point of wearing a creepy identical shirt.

The real goal is New Zealand’s quarantine program which utilizes Digital ID wallets – the ultimate end-game.

Blacklisting and Censorship Violates Freedom of Thought, Speech and Conscience

by Barbara Loe Fisher

Nov. 2, 2023

Freedom of thought, speech and conscience are inalienable natural[1] and civil rights recognized in America and in countries where respect for autonomy[2] and protection of bodily integrity [3] [4] [5] places limits on the power of the state. Under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Americans have the legal right to peacefully dissent and “petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” [6] The freedom to use our intelligence and follow our conscience [7] [8] [9] is absolute when we make a decision that involves taking a risk of injury or death for ourselves or on behalf of our minor child, [10] and the freedom to speak in the digital public square about what that means should be absolute as well.

This is a commentary about a special report I have researched and written on the systematic abuse of parents with vaccine injured children and the silencing of my voice and information published by the charitable National Vaccine Information Center in the digital public square both before and after the declaration of a coronavirus pandemic in 2020. I have submitted the report to the US House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. [11]

Entitled “The Silencing of Barbara Loe Fisher and the National Vaccine Information Center in the Digital Public Square: A Violation of Freedom of Thought, Speech and Conscience,” the report is anchored with more than 300 live linked references. [12] It  contains information about the collaborative actions taken by government officials, political operatives, corporations, academic and financial institutions, media, philanthropic foundations, and global governmental organizations to target, discredit, discriminate against and censor me and NVIC for our mission since 1982 to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths through public education, and to defend the legal right of Americans to make voluntary decisions about vaccination without being coerced or sanctioned for the decision made.[13]    (Go to link for video & article)
