ARTICLE BELOW about the killing of
soldiers which is like Lilly's killing
of old people with Zyprexa:

Well, it happens to be malpractice
to drug Lyme-brain with CNS depressants
for the same reason it is malpractice
to treat elderly patients with CNS
depressants:
http://www.actionlyme.org/BUNNEY_YALE_BRAIN_DAMAGE.htm
Lyme delirium is demonstrated by
Brain SPECT hypoxia, like this:
http://www.actionlyme.org/PHILLIPS_JE_PERVERT.htm
We've never had the opportunity to discover
treatments for Lyme delirium which would
be in addition to IV ceftriaxone, but lotsa
coffee works good ;-)
It also staves off dementia in ALL older
women, not just me:

Whoever sucks up the psych drugs
and the sleep drugs and the benzos...
who says they also have Lyme - you
can doubt they really have Lyme.
*THAT* is the *sign* of a fake Lyme
victim. Nobody who's really sick
with Lyme can tolerate CNS depressants.
They practically killya. They'll stop
your heart... if you don't sleep-drive
off the road.

Psychotropic Drug-Induced Sudden Deaths in Iraq War Veterans
Deadly Combination of Seroquel, Paxil and Klonopin Involved
By Andrew Tighman
Published in the Marine Corps Times
5-26-10
EL CAJON, CA (PRNewswire) -- Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD today announced
the results of his research into the "series" of veterans' deaths
acknowledged by the Surgeon General of the Army.
Upon reading the May 24, 2008, Charleston (WV) Gazette article "Vets
Taking Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Drugs Die in Sleep," Baughman
began to investigate why these reported deaths were "different." And,
why they were likely, the "tip of an iceberg."
Andrew White, Eric Layne, Nicholas Endicott and Derek Johnson were
four West Virginia veterans who died in their sleep in early 2008.
Baughman's research suggests that they did not commit suicide and did
not "overdose" leading to coma as suggested by the military. All were
diagnosed with PTSD. All seemed "normal" when they went to bed. And,
all were on Seroquel (an antipsychotic) Paxil (an antidepressant) and
Klonopin (a benzodiazepine).
They were not comatose and unarousable - with pulse and respirations
or pulse intact, responsive to CPR, surviving transport to a hospital,
frequently surviving. These were sudden cardiac deaths.
At the time, Stan White, father of Andrew White knew of eight such
cases in Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia.
In a February 7, 2008 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Lt. Gen.
Eric B. Schoomaker, the Army's surgeon general, said there has been "a
series, a sequence of deaths" in the new "warrior transition units."
In April 2005, the FDA warned that Seroquel put elderly patients with
dementia-related psychosis at increased risk of death.
On January 15, 2009, Ray et al, reported that antipsychotics double
the risk of sudden cardiac death. On March 17, 2009, Whang et al
reported that antidepressants, as well, increase the rate of sudden
cardiac deaths.
And yet, in an August 14, 2008 analysis of two of the four Charleston-
area deaths, the Inspector General for Veterans Affairs concluded
(Report No. 08-01377-185): "Although antipsychotic medications have
been identified as possible causes of cardiac rhythm disturbances, a
2001 review...found no association with olanzapine (Zyprexa),
quetiapine (Seroquel), or risperidone (Risperdal) and Torsades de
Pointes (a fatal heart rhythm) or sudden death... we are unaware of
any clinical practice guidelines recommending baseline or periodic
electrocardiogram monitoring in young, healthy patients on quetiapine
(Seroquel)."
However, in a literature review covering the years 2000-2007, entitled
Sudden Cardiac Death Secondary to Antidepressant and Antipsychotic
Drugs: [Expert Opinion on Drug Safety; 2008, Number 2, March 2008 ,
pp. 181-194(14)] Sicouri and Antzelevitch conclude: (1) "A number of
antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs can increase the risk of
ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death" (2) "Antipsychotics
can increase cardiac risk even at low doses whereas antidepressants do
it generally at high doses or in the setting of drug combinations,"
and (3) "These observations call foran ECG at baseline and after drug
administration."
This March 2008 article and the entire 2000-2007 medical literature it
reviews was available to the Inspector General had they chosen not to
ignore it.
On April 13, 2009, I wrote the Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG)
pressing him about his "sequence of deaths" statement and the
existence of a definitive analysis of these sudden deaths. Four days
later the OTSG responded: "The assessment is still pending and has not
been released yet."
As of today, May 24, 1010, veteran's wife, Diane VandeBurgt had
"Googled" 128 (one hundred twenty eight) such veteran's deaths: "dead
in barracks," "in bed," "at work station." Dead! None in a coma.
In her article Nearly 70 soldiers died in WTUs' first 16 months by
Gina Cavallaro, Army Times, February 1, 2009 - the public heard a
major "slip of the tongue" by Army officialdom: "More than 70 soldiers
have died while assigned to one of the Army's 36 WTUs, but suicide is
not the leading cause." Of those, nine (13%) were ruled suicides; six
(9%) were pending investigation; 13 (19%) were killed in accidents;
and 35 (50%) were from "natural causes." "Natural causes" in 20 year
olds? "We do have warriors in transition who have died of cancer.
There have also been heart attacks," said WCTO (Warrior Transition
Command) spokesman Robert Moore.
How many "heart attacks?" Neither Cavallaro or Moore returned my
calls.
On April 22, 2010 I anonymously received "SIRS (Serious Incident
Reports) 10/03/09-3/7/10/." In it were listed: Total ARNG (Army
National Guard) "Accident Fatalities--20; Suicide--32 (6 confirmed 12
pending); Combat--8; Illness caused--23; Other deaths--10; Total--93.
Among the listed: 10/19/09-"illness heart attack"; 10/28/09-"illness
cardiac arrest"; 11/10/09-"other found dead"; 11/14/09-"other found
dead"; 11/28/09-"illness heart attack"; 12/26/09-"illness heart
attack"; 1/2/10-"illness cardiac arrest"; 2/7/10-"illness cardiac
arrest"; 2/9/10-"illness cardiac arrest"; 2/3/10-"illness cardiac
arrest."; 2/10/10-"illness cardiac arrest"; 2/21/10-"illness heart
attack." Here we have 13 of 93 (14%) definite or probable sudden
cardiac deaths.
Like the four Charleston-area veterans, Pfc. Ryan Alderman was also on
a never-justifiable cocktail of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs
when he was found dead in his barracks at Ft. Carson, Colo. Sudden
cardiac death was confirmed by EKG by emergency medical technicians at
the scene, but reclassified as "suicide." Why? By whom?
The soldiers, veterans, their families and nation await the truth
about this epidemic of antipsychotic-antidepressant, sudden cardiac
deaths in the military.
