Context: Pharmaceutical Drug Harms
Pharmaceuticals generally + overprescription — In a controlled trial with disabled elderly adults, doing nothing except terminating some of their prescriptions dropped the death rate by 53% compared to the control. “More than half of the patients were candidates for deprescribing. The most common criterion was inappropriately long use, followed by safety concerns, and lack of indication.”
Acid blockers, PPIs, drugs for acid reflux, heartburn, GERD, gastric ulcer — PPIs increased cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis and bone fractures, chronic kidney disease, neurodegeneration including Alzheimer’s and dementia, all-cause mortality (death), B-12 deficiency, pneumonia, and infections. PPIs altered children’s gut microbiome, the foundation of immunity and health, and increased infections in children. Stomach acid is crucial for health.
ADHD drugs, stimulants —Caused “long-lasting changes” in brain function “similar to those that occur with cocaine.” “There is no such thing as a Ritalin deficiency.” Harms from ADHD drugs are many, and effects from higher doses are severe. Get verifiable research and alternatives for resolving the underlying issues.
Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s drugs — Alzheimer’s & dementia drugs are less effective than B vitamins. And they cause fluid build-up & bleeding in the brain and increased death. Parkinson’s drugs deplete nutrients needed for brain health. Parkinson’s symptoms can be reversed. Successful therapies promote brain autophagy, “the removal of old and damaged brain cells and the creation of new and healthy brain cells.”
Antibiotics — “Like TNT for the body’s microbiome” and linked with kidney stones, infertility, miscarriage, birth defects. Since 70 to 80% of the immune system is in the gut, damage to gut health is damage to immune health. Review curated research + alternatives and considerations.
Asthma, allergy & hay fever drugs, antihistamines — Antihistamines cause heart problems, cognitive impairment, seizures in kids. Asthma “med” caused depression, anxiety, aggression, suicides. “Common medications like diphenhydramine [called benadryl, other brand names] cross the blood-brain barrier, disrupting normal brain activity and lowering seizure thresholds in vulnerable children.”
Blood pressure drugs — Allergies, Diabetes, Weight Gain, Sexual Dysfunction, Depression, Acute Kidney Injury, Lung Cancer, Abnormal Heart Rate, and More. Blood pressure-lowering drugs have not been shown to be effective; do not address the root cause(s) of hypertension; have been contaminated with cancer-causing agents; and cause harm (“side effects”).
Chemotherapy, other cancer drugs, radiation — “Chemotherapy makes cancer worse.” “Chemotherapy doubled the number of cancer cells in the bloodstream and lungs.” “Omitting radiation from treatment did not have an effect on survival rates.” “Radiation therapy increases the risk of solid tumors.” Chemotherapy drugs harm the healthcare professionals who administer them.
Diabetes drugs, metformin — Caused death, low blood pressure, slowed heart rate, reduced blood flow to brain & organs. 90% + of diabetes is reversible with diet but professionals push drugs that harm. Professionals avoid telling the simple truth about the effectiveness of low carb diets and push profitable drugs that cause harm. In 2023, the FDA approved more drugs to treat diabetes in children.
Osteoporosis drugs, bisphosphonates — Caused “substantially reduced bone strength” and caused more microcracks in bone than the controls. Osteoporosis drugs caused blood calcium levels to drop, digestion problems, internal bleeding, irregular heartbeat, bone fractures, and bone death.
Over the counter drugs (OTCs) — Tylenol: ADHD, autism, ulcers, GI issues, kidney disease, heart failure. Laxative given to children: rage, tics, insomnia, seizures. Ibuprofen: DNA damage, hypertension. Sunscreens? Nightmare. Prescription drugs cause great harm, but so do over-the-counter meds and personal care products. Get an organized curation of research and reports.
Pain relievers, NSAIDs, opioids — Even at “safe doses,” opioids cause confusion, dependence, depression, increased pain sensitivity, diminished energy, and low sex drive. Consistent use of NSAIDs caused heart attacks. Doctors are not trained in pain management or addiction, but they prescribe dangerous, highly addictive drugs. Get an organized curation of research and reports, plus alternatives and considerations.
Psychiatric drugs: antidepressants, SSRIs, anti-anxiety, benzos, other psychotropics — Anti-depressants cause suicidal thinking, violence, and homicide. Anti-anxiety drugs cause insomnia and anxiety. Anti-psychotic drugs cause agitation, psychosis and violence. This organized curation of research and reports makes it clear that the evidence of harm from psychotropic drugs is overwhelming. We also provide alternatives and considerations.
Scans, radiology, & ultrasounds (e.g. mammograms, CT scans, X-rays) — Medical scans (CT scans, mammograms, etc) use ionizing radiation which damages DNA and causes cancer. Research and resource curation, including research showing that 1) mammograms do not reduce risk of death, and 2) a higher incidence of breast cancer was caused from mammography radiation.
Seizure drugs, anticonvulsants, anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) — Devastating effects, negatively impacting virtually every system of the body, including damage to blood vessels and reduction in all three types of blood cells. Seizure drugs caused liver failure and death in young people and in healthy adults. A long list of non-harming alternatives listed below, with links to research on their effectiveness.
Sleeping pills, sedatives — Sleeping pills make you unconscious, not asleep. They impair the sleep cycle. They increase dementia, falls, and death. And they’re highly addictive. Sleeping pills deprive people of true sleep and they impede essential brain functions (which are causes of dementia, Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases)
Statins — Statin drugs damage health at foundational levels — mitochondria, muscles and nerves — which can lead to more than 300 health problems. Research curation on statin harms, plus research showing that 1) lowering cholesterol does not improve heart health, and 2) statins do not lower all-cause death rates.
Steroids — Cause osteoporosis and double the risk of bone fractures. They increase heart failure, diabetes, psychiatric issues, glaucoma, and serious infections. Steroid users report rapid weight gain, intense hunger, irritability, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, acne, stomach pain, nausea, joint pain, and withdrawal reactions, among other adverse events.
Vaccines — Reports by vaccine type.

Weight Loss Drugs
One of the types of drugs sold for weight loss is a group called GLP-1 RAs. This group has been prescribed for diabetes, and includes semaglutide (Ozempic).
Weight loss drugs include Adipex, Alli, Bupropion, Amphetamine, Atti-Plex, Benzphetamine, Bontril PDM, Chorionic Gonadotropin (hcg), Cimetidine, Contrave, Desvenlafaxine, Diethylpropion, Dulaglutide, Evekeo, Fenfluramine, GLP-1 RAs, Imcivree, Liraglutide, Lomaira, Methamphetamine, Methylphenidate, Mounjaro, Orlistat, Ozempic, Phendimetrazine, Phentermine, Pregnyl, Qsymia, Saxenda, Semaglutide, Setmelanotide, Tirzepatide, Topiramate, Trulicity, Wegovy, Xenical, and Zepbound.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) RAs (receptor agonists) "are a group of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes... GLP-1 RAs are classified as short-acting or long-acting, depending on how long they work in your body." [source]
GLP-1 RAs include Adylyxin, Bydureon, Byetta, Dulaglutide, Exenatide, Liraglutide, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Saxenda, Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Trulicity, and Victoza [source and source]
A few weeks ago I published an article entitled `The Scary, Startling Truth about `wonder drugs’ semaglutide and tirzepatide’. In the old days, I’d have published the article in one of the major national newspapers and done numerous TV and radio interviews about it. People would have been made aware of the risks with these drugs. I was regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on iatrogenesis (doctor-induced disease). But today, of course, I am banned from all corporate media and, it seems, no one else dares take on Big Pharma and the medical establishment. Today, I read that the death of a 58-year-old nurse had been linked to another of the weight loss drugs approved for use on the NHS. The healthy nurse took two low-dose injections of tirzepatide and two weeks later she was dead. She died from multiple organ failure, septic shock and pancreatitis.
Evidence of Harm
“Ozempic, Similar Weight Loss Drugs Linked to 162 Deaths in U.S.” — “According to data from the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), reports linked to weight loss drugs like Ozempic… increased by 40% in six months.” See also: Novo Nordisk CEO warns of deaths linked to compounded semaglutide: “The head of the company that makes the diabetes and obesity drugs Ozempic and Wegovy has warned that compounded versions of the active ingredient in those medications have now been linked to at least 100 hospitalizations and 10 deaths.” See also: FDA Has Linked More Than 100 Deaths to Ozempic, Wegovy and Similar Drugs: Report: “Death reports linked to Ozempic and similar drugs indicate users suffered from intestinal masses, stomach paralysis, pancreatic cancer and seizures.” See also: Eli Lilly’s Weight Loss Drug Contributed to Nurse’s Death: “A 58-year-old Scottish nurse died after taking two doses of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, recently approved by the NHS, BBC reported. Susan McGowan’s death certificate lists multiple organ failure, septic shock and pancreatitis as the immediate cause of death… the “use of prescribed tirzepatide,” the generic name for Mounjaro, is listed as a contributing factor.” See also: “Wegovy and Ozempic: Scientists raise alarm over potentially deadly side effect from celeb-favorite fat-loss drugs: “Researchers warn Wegovy and similar drugs can cause stomach issues. The drugs may enlarge a person’s intestines and lead to critical blockages.”
"Over 200 Cases of Suicidal Thoughts After Taking Weight Loss Drugs: New Analysis" — "Over half of the adverse event reports by the FDA describe suicidal thoughts arising soon after starting or ramping up doses of these injectable drugs." See also: EMA statement on ongoing review of GLP-1 receptor agonists: "The review was triggered by the Icelandic medicines agency following reports of suicidal thoughts and self-injury in people using liraglutide and semaglutide medicines. So far authorities have retrieved and are analysing about 150 reports of possible cases of self-injury and suicidal thoughts."
“Ozempic Side Effects Caused Gastritis, Gallbladder Injury and Uncontrollable Vomiting” — “Lawsuit indicates that Novo Nordisk fails to adequately disclose serious risks” See also: 55 Lawsuits Alleging Side Effects From Weight Loss Drugs Centralized in Single Litigation: “Plaintiffs claim they suffered from gastroparesis, a condition in which an individual’s stomach fails to properly empty, after taking drugs like Ozempic.” See also: Ozempic Causes Serious Health Issues, Class Action Claims; “Novo Nordisk failed to warn consumers its weight loss drug Ozempic can cause a number of serious health issues, including gastroparesis, a new class action lawsuit alleges.” See also: Patients Sue Over Alleged Stomach Paralysis Linked to Ozempic, Mounjaro (Sep 30, 2024); “Dana Filmore, a grandmother from Columbus, Ohio, is among thousands of plaintiffs filing a federal lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, alleging Ozempic and Mounjaro caused gastroparesis… Gastroparesis, a condition characterized by stomach paralysis that severely impacts digestion, caused Filmore, who turned to the medication to control her blood sugar to have persistent nausea and bowel issues. The lawsuit alleges that the drug manufacturers failed to adequately warn patients about the risks…The federal lawsuit is expected to go to trial in 2025.”
