JAMA Report Takes On Anti-Depressant Deception

by Robert L. Gisel


The Journal of the Medical Association (JAMA) has published a report revealing a major fallacy regarding narcotic psychotropic drugs. They don't work.

Is it any surprise unbiased reports reveal that, in relief from depression, a placebo is as much as you get, versus the much tooted anti-depressants which give little or no improvement in the symptoms. It would be more truth in advertising to sell the placebos.

Only in the most severe cases of depression was any significant improvement noted against the placebo, which would be in the upper range of the scoring scale of severity of depression, which is, roughly, 1/4 of all cases. For any milder cases and particularly the mid range cases most likely to be prescribed SSRI anti-depressants by medical doctors the results are negligible or non-existent.

We're talking about their cash hogs, genesis Prozac, such as Paxil, Lexaporo, and, by extrapolation, all of the derivatives like Zoloft that opened the flood gates to a long line of worthless psychoactive drugs. Not only worthless but actually dangerous in possible side effects like "drug-induced suicides, mania, drug-exacerbated depression, drug dependence, birth defects...". We can do without these effects for sure.

Treating symptoms is really off-the-mark malpractice. The real cause has to be found and handled to eliminate the effect. Depression is a symptom not a cause. A thorough Medical examination or consultation with holistic chiropractor can reveal actual causes. One's own Google research of effective solutions or the index of one of Adele Davis's books against one's own knowingness reaps a better prognosis than that of the shrink or his MD dupes. A walk across the street to the natural vitamin store reaffirmed for me the simplest of solutions can be the most overlooked. Often the culprit is simple nutritional deficiencies such as B vitamins, minerals or hormonal imbalances with herbal remedies. Even in the most severe cases of depression this would be the first place to look.

Do yourself a favor should you ever experience anything like depression: skip the psycho-babble, even when mouthed by a medical doctor, and get some better advice.

That the JAMA report is taken from some of the earliest studies on the substances before being buried and over larded by later deceiving reports is very damning to the the drug manufactures and a is notable recognition by the JAMA. One can only hope this will dampen the enthusiasm for medical prescriptions of psyche drugs. One still hopes these will be more than just Black Box Labeled but actually taken off the market.
