The Psycho Pharmaceutical Industry with former Pharma Scientist


Shane Ellison has a masters degree in organic chemistry and is a two-time recipient of the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Grant for his studies in biochemistry and physiology.

Here Shane exposes the inner workings of the psycho/pharmaceutical industry, the manufacture and marketing of psychiatric drugs and the fact that the psycho/pharma industry is well aware their drugs do not cure anyone. He previously worked for both Array BioPharma and Eli Lilly.

"Based upon the information presented so far in this amendment it is clear that there are numerous
deficiencies in NDA 21-117 that appear to be intentional so as to hide critical information needed to make an informed determination of the safety of asenapine and in order to mislead the FDA."

"This constitutes a formal request to FDA management and recommends criminal investigation
of individuals in various companies and organizations for failure to report deaths, attempting to mislead
reviewers by various devices that are apparently intended to obfuscate and hide data required for review and that are needed to make safety assessments that would effect approval, and potentially sales and reimbursements. In fact the evidence suggests that there may have been an intentional design to harm, maim, and occasionally kill children so as to induce the need for purchasing other products from the sponsor or cosponsors."

Roche has an even better business model. They sell super profitable drugs for terminal diseases, that have questionalbe efficacy. They also profit in the billions from the flu pandemic fears with a drug they purchased that has questionalbe efficacy.

This was a disappointing collection of vague conspiratorial claims with no actual data, references or specific examples.

I knew something was askew with this guy. Thanks for the link to Citizens Commission on Human Rights, which was "co-founded" in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Dr. Thomas Szasz, professor emeritus of psychiatry. Shane Ellison is listed as an expert on the CCHR site here.

Maybe Ellison was duped by Scientologists just like Howard Brody, medical ethicist author of the Hooked: Ethics, Medicine, and Pharma blog, was (see "Making A Killing:" Scientology Video Blasts the Pyschiatry-Drug Industry-FDA Complex!)? Probably not.

Nevertheless, the Church of Scientology has produced an effective video (see link above) that is an indictment of the drug industry's too close ties with psychiatrists. I urge you and your readers to view this video and get beyond Ellison's hyperbole and objectively evaluate some of the issues it raises. It made me rethink a few things.
