“It is best if Americans wake up to the fact that the greed and profits of drug companies clearly trump consumer safety. The money of Big Pharma controls Congress, the White House, and the FDA.” Page 13

“Zyprexa is a powerful antipsychotic medication approved for serious mental health illness. The FDA approved its use based on a 1996 clinical trial for the treatment of adult schizophrenics. Two thirds of the 2500 participants had so many adverse side effects that they dropped out of the clinical trial. Of those remaining, 22% suffered serious adverse health effects. Freedom of information act requests have proven that the FDA knew Zyprexa’s adverse effects included: 1. Cardiac abnormalities and hypotension (10% to 15%); 2. Parkinson like motor impairment (11.7%); 3. Unbearable restlessness (akathisia — 7.3%); 4. Acute weight gain (50%)…. Eli Lilly and the FDA covered up 20 deaths and 12 suicides among individuals taking Zyprexa, never reporting them to medical doctors or the American public. Instead, they turn this drug loose on an unsuspecting American children with mild mental-health issues.” Page 15

“Eli Lilly’s best-selling drug is called Zyprexa, which generated $4.2 billion in 2005 sales, or 28% of Lily’s total drug sales…. This one drug generates as much revenue as the entire National Football League.” Page 14.

The world of expensive new designer drugs generated $42 billion in sales in 2004. It is projected to hit $69 billion in 2006 and grow at a rate of 20 to 50% per year. Twenty billion dollars a year are spent on drugs that affect the mind. It is easy to see why Wall Street, the financial center for funding new business activity, is so interested. Page 13.

A freelance writer, Jeanne Lenzer wrote an article entitled Drug Secrets–What the FDA Is Telling, published in Slate magazine September 27, 2005. She told how she filed several Freedom of Information Act requests and received a database that included 41 deaths and 13 suicides among patients taking Cymbalta. She wrote: “Missing from the database was any record of Johnson, were at least 4 other volunteers known to have committed suicide while taking Cymbalta… that the use of trade-secret laws to conceal deaths and serious side effects linked to drugs as the obvious flaw of putting profits before public health.” (These are facts from the book, but are not direct quotes, and are found on page 12.)
