John Virapen, 64 years, ancien PDG of Eli Lilly in Suède, Book the story of his career in the pharmaceutical industry. Professional confession motivated by deep remorse : “Ghostly figures appear in my dream, Written by-yl en préambule. They beat their heads against the walls”…
Former director of the firm Eli Lilly Sweden, Virapen John wrote in his seventy-fourth year professional confession motivated by his anxiety attacks :
“Years sometimes in the early hours of the day ghostly silhouettes appear in my dream, Written by-yl en préambule. They beat their heads against the wall or hack the arms and throat razor bumps. I now realized that I had indirectly contributed to death of people whose shadows haunt me.
I obviously killed person directly, but today I can not help but feel partly responsible for these deaths. J'ai été a tool, an executive, but willing, the hands of the industry. […] J’ai été certes manipulé, but without asking questions. I sold my soul to the devil.”
In 1986, for the launch of fluoxetine Eli Lily, Golden molecule called Prozac to be until the patent expires in 2001 the most prescribed antidepressant in the world, John Virapen will commit what haunts the early morning : have helped to promote a drug that he knew already-- suicidal impact (for real side effects of psychotropic, see the website of independent health monitoring David Healy, researcher at the University of Cardiff RxiSK.org) whose superiority over placebo is still not established 2014.

Professor Boyd Haley ensures that quantities called "trace" of thiomersal in vaccines (like against influenza A) are already too and enough to disrupt a lot of enzymatic processes essential to good health.

c’est avec beaucoup d’intérêt que j’ai lu cet article.
Atteinte d’une maladie auto immune (vascularite), “soignée” par traitement lourd, il apparait que mon état de santé actuel pourrait avoir pour origine la pratique de technique dentaire moderne défectueuse (dents dévitalisées, “plombées, couronnées…) ayant aboutie à infection focale avec à terme déclenchement de rhinite et otite chronique, péricardite, polyarthrite, puis polynévrite … en relation avec la “maladie de Wegener” .
Et les produits utilisés pour “combattre” le mal ne manquent pas de me suggérer par leurs effets secondaires un avenir peu radieux… (endoxan cortisone, fosamax et son générique, antibiotiques, imurel ou celcept etc….).
Parce que concernée au premier chef sans doute, les études du Pr Boyd Haley , son parcours et son combat m’ont amenée jusqu’au livre de Mr Virapen… Que je vais lire.
merci
