Big Pharma has been obsessed with serotonin manipulation since the early 1990s, when their rather

dangerous and half-the-time useless SSRI medications were turned into blocbuster drugs! "hese
drugs are now shown to be a serious cause of bone loss and a new study shows why!
#ast year we found out that these SSRI drugs

more than double the ris for fractures in anyone o$er
the age of %0 who uses them regularly! "hese bone-damaging
&
effects of SSRIs ha$e been confirmed
by another $ery recent study!
In an une'pected finding from research not in$ol$ing SSRIs, a new mechanism has been identified
which e'plains why ha$ing high blood le$els of serotonin is associated with increased bone loss! "he
researchers found that too much serotonin
(
directly interferes with how new bone is formed!
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
*uman data regarding SSRI use and breast cancer is highly contro$ersial! "he reason is due to Big
Pharma-funded +scientists for hire+ who cran out studies that say there is no ris! ,nd this is only one
aspect of the blatant and fraudulent misrepresentation of SSRI riss and benefits!
"his issue came front and center in an ,pril &011 open access article published in Plos -ne
&1
that
re$iewed .1 studies regarding breast and o$arian cancer and antidepressant use! "he o$erall data
showed an 11 percent increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer associated with all types of
antidepressants! "he association between the SSRI type of antidepressants and cancer was stronger
than for any other type of antidepressant.
/ompared to controls, patients reported significantly 0p10!0%2 less ability to cry, irritation, care about
others3 feelings, sadness, erotic dreaming, creati$ity, surprise, anger, e'pression of their feelings, worry
o$er things or situations, se'ual pleasure, and interest in se'!
In &004 the 5ew 6ngland 7ournal of 8edicine e'posed the e'tent of the antidepressant deception! "he
great ma9ority of negati$e SSRI studies were ne$er published! , whistleblower who had wored at the
:;, and was familiar with the data forced the data to public $iew! It showed 37 studies the FDA
considered positive were published, whereas only three negative studies were published! -f the
(( studies the :;, considered negati$e or <uestionable, && were not published, and 11were published
with spin to loo positi$e when they were not! "his made antidepressant studies appear 9. percent
positi$e in the literature, when in fact the studies were only %1percent positi$e! In fact, as 5ewswee
maga=ine e'plained in 7anuary &010, that +benefit+ was hardly any different than the placebo!
-n the other hand, rather e'treme side effect data from taing SSRI antidepressants continues to pour
in! In 5o$ember &004, it was shown that anyone over the age of ! taking ""#Is on a continual
basis had double therisk for fractures, as e$cessive serotonin production directly blocks new
bone for%ation! In 8arch &009 it was reported in a large study of women that antidepressant use,
independent of other $ariables, was linked to a statistically increased risk of sudden cardiac death!
In ;ecember &009 researchers reported that in 13&,!!! post%enopausal wo%en taking ""#Is there

the beginning of this article, the increased rate of inflammation in the brain, especially acti$ating
highly inflammatory i5-S in response to I5:y, is a clear mechanism that could cause these dangerous
stroes in the brain!

! In brief, one way SSRIs are supposed to wor is by enhancing the flow of serotonin, an
effect that would be felt i%%ediately upon taking the%! *owe$er, it is well recogni=ed that an
additional mechanism is in play, as for many it taes se$eral wees or longer before their mood seems

Cnderstand that such a strategy to boost B;5: production is highly problematic! It can 9ust as readily

,ccording to the re$iew article abo$e, the method of B;5: acti$ation by SSRI antidepressants
