Eli Lilly sells a drug {ZYPREXA} that can cause diabetes and then turn a profit on the drugs that treat the condition that they may have caused in the first place!

Eli Lilly has made $38 billion on Zyprexa and it was way oversold and caused diabetes and in some cases sudden death.
Eli Lilly has received a huge criminal fine over their Zyprexa cash cow,add it all up comes to $4.6 billion, in Zyprexa settlements,fines,litigation.

Addictive Zyprexa was pushed by Lilly Drug Reps.
They called it the "Five at Five" (5 mg at 5 pm to keep nursing home patients subdued and sleepy) and "VIVA ZYPREXA" (Zyprexa for everybody) campaigns to off label market Eli Lilly Zyprexa as a fix for unapproved usage.

Eli Lilly is 'reaping the whirlwind' for aggressive marketing of Zyprexa that has caused suffering and deaths.
There must be millions out there harmed by this drug.

Did you know that Lilly made $ billions last year on diabetic meds, Actos,Humulin and Byetta?

Yes! They sell a drug that can cause diabetes and then turn a profit on the drugs that treat the condition that they may have caused in the first place!

With all of the drug testing that happens before becoming available, you would hope that all side effect would be found. It is hard to believe that these defects were not known in advance.

A comment on Portable Headphones Can Cause Interference With Cardiac Devices

Jamie, great article. Many people are unaware of this problem with headphones. Also, if you have a pacemaker/ICD, do not linger going through the theft detector stalls at retail stores for the same reason. It could inhibit the pacemaker function or activate the ICD erroneously according to my husband's Cardiologist. Signs should be posted to that effect but I have yet to see one.

If someone has been on these products, they should contact their physician. The doctor may want to run labwork including liver function test (LFT's) to determine if any liver damage has been done.

A comment on Can You Really Trust That Scientific Article?

The more this is looked into the more the consumer has to be stunned. It is amazing the number of stories that we are now learning about. I truly feel sorry for the number of people that have been given bad drugs or denied discovery that was supported by these false studies.

A comment on FDA Warning For Some Diabetic Testing Strips

Marteliza — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:18:45 GMT

As a Type-1 diabetic for 25 years, I must check my blood sugar levels every two hours. I have no other alternative but to rely on these numbers; the test result allows me to precisely determine how much insulin I must inject whenever I eat and each night before I go to sleep. I have used Accu-Check meters and the very expensive glucose testing strips and found them highly inaccurate and very capable of error. I have reported my problems to the the number on the back of the meter and a polite but clueless telephone rep will suggest you to get a new box of strips, change your battery, or, they will send you a new meter, (I am on my 6th new meter this year alone). I can check my blood sugar at the same time on three different fingers and get three different test results. Try it yourself. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, FOLKS! Especially when those simultaneous test results range so broadly, 20-40 or more mg/dl difference, could result in an erroneous insulin dosage that could take a diabetic to the great hypoglycemic beyond.
