Tamiflu Vaccine Linked With Convulsions, Delirium and Bizarre Deaths

Tamiflu Vaccine Linked With Convulsions, Delirium and Bizarre Deaths

An FDA advisory panel has recommended stronger warnings on two influenza drugs after reviewing evidence linking them to neurological and psychiatric problems that have led to deaths in some cases.

The current warning on Roche Laboratories' Tamiflu (generic name oseltamivir) urges close monitoring of flu patients, particularly children, for "increased risk of self injury and confusion shortly after taking Tamiflu." The panel recommended that this warning be strengthened to say that "in some cases, these behaviors resulted in serious injuries, including death, in adult and pediatric patients."

The label of Glaxo SmithKline's Relenza (generic name zanamivir), the panel said, should be strengthened to mention "reports of hallucinations, delirium and abnormal behavior." The panel said that both labels should mention that some flu patients not taking the drugs have also experienced such symptoms.

There have been no reported deaths from Tamiflu in the United States, but in Japan, where the drug is much more widely used, at least 14 deaths have been reported. Five children under the age of 17 died after "falling from windows or balconies or running into traffic," according to the FDA. According to Roche, two people under the age of 21 died from a brain infection, and seven deaths from neuropsychiatric symptoms have also been attributed to use of the drug by adults.

Since Tamiflu's introduction in 1999, a total of 48 million prescriptions have been written, 75 percent of them in Japan. According to Roche, 1,745 of 1,808 reports of side effects came from Japan. The FDA has noted that people in Japan appear to be more likely to report side effects than people in the United States.In March, Japan issued a warning against prescribing Tamiflu to people between the ages of 10 and 19, and South Korea followed suit a month later with a warning against use by teenagers.

Race horses love chiropractic

When a top-class thoroughbred wasn't responding to standard veterinary practice, Tim Johnson, DC was called in. "[The horse] responded very quickly," he says. "His gait improved immediately…. Two weeks later he won a race in Adelaide and a few weeks later came second in the Cox Plate." Equine chiropractors become important players in an industry where a small injury can render someone's multimillion-dollar investment worthless. A successful adjustment is "like rebooting your computer," says Dr. Johnson, "It resets the reflexes in the nervous system in that area." "The horses start to enjoy it because they know they are going to get relief. They're pretty smart animals. Once they get relief they are more likely to stand still and enjoy it." Some even get hooked. On one occasion when he returned to a stud farm where he had treated two horses the previous week, the same two horses came bounding up to greet him.

Why Become a Chiropractor?

I’m sure you may have wondered, “Why do people become chiropractors?” Many chiropractors hail from medical families where a parent, sibling or other relative is in the medical profession. There are people who left the practice of medicine for chiropractic. Why is that? We’re glad you asked.

Chiropractic is a unique profession – we don’t put anything into your body or take anything out – no drugs, no surgery, no devices, no chemicals. And yet case histories abound of people with all kinds of horrible conditions (some of which we mention in this newsletter each month) rediscovering health and wellness after a chiropractic adjustment.
Who is the real doctor? The real doctor is you. Your body has the ability to heal itself from every disease.

Your chiropractor releases blockages, called subluxations, inside you that interfere with your natural healing ability and therefore prevent full healing.
When these blockages are located and released (or adjusted) the result is a healthier you – more balance, more energy, more healing. Chiropractic students learn, among other things, how to locate and correct subluxations.

A nice side effect of becoming a chiropractor is that you learn about a drug-free lifestyle that includes organic and nutrient dense foods, non-invasive peaceful childbirth, breastfeeding and natural immunity. Plus, it’s an enjoyable profession. Enhancing health and wellness is fun and rewarding.
