Can we really trust the FDA and big Pharma
and their acidic drugs?

FDA Warns of Heart Risks With Schizophrenia Drug!

U.S. regulators said on Monday that Johnson & Johnson
added new warnings to its schizophrenia drug, Haldol,
about the potential risk of death and of dangerous
heart conditions observed in some patients.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said new labeling
on the drug will note that ailments, including QT
prolongation, a disorder of the heart's electrical
system that can lead to a life-threatening condition,
have been observed in post-marketing studies.

The drug is also sold generically under the name
haloperidol.

Several other drugs for schizophrenia, including a
much newer J&J drug including Invega, have warnings
about the risk of the serious cardiac effect.

The FDA, in a posting on its Web site, said the new
labeling comes after a number of case reports of
sudden death and QT prolongation in patients
treated with the drug. In most cases, patients
had taken higher-than-recommended doses or were
given the drug intravenously, which is not an FDA
approved method of use, the FDA said.

The FDA said the case studies came from research J&J
was asked to do by Italy's regulatory drug agency.

J&J spokeswoman Ambre Morley said the company has
made the requested label changes.

The best change that the FDA should recommend is to
take all of these acidic drugs that treat symptoms
not causes off the market.

There is only one cause for all sickness, affliction
and disease - the over-acidification of the tissues and
then blood due to an inverted way of living, eating and
thinking.

And if there is only one cause then there is only one
treatment - alkalize the tissues and blood and
re-establish the alkaline design of the body.
