Selling Our Children to the Pharmaceutical Industry - PBS reports

Selling Our Children to the Pharmaceutical Industry - PBS reports

Have we sold our kids to the pharmaceutical Industry? This PBS report appears to be evidence that foster kids have been not just used, but abused as cash cows for exactly this purpose...corrupted doctors who have forgotten they took an oath to do no harm, not to profit as much as possible. Medicine has lost it's way, and they are not going to change direction until we make them change direction. Watch this video and then read this supposed Sham  Torture study in 4 to 6 year old toddlers using seroquel. This is a precursory study leading to a much larger study planned in the future.
Yes, you could have guessed that it was directed out of Massachusetts General Hospital ( Janet Wozniak, MD ). Most in the know consider this Harvard University affiliated Hospital the center and birth place of the "BIPOLAR CHILD" Myth.

Please keep in mind as you read this study that there is no stated criteria for preschool bipolar disorder in the DSM-IV. The well funded Pharmaceutical Industry shill doctors @ Harvard created this criteria out of thin air to get drug approval from the FDA. Then using this witchcraft logic, come to the conclusion that the if the FDA approves the drug, then there must be a validated disease?

I have a really hard time following this sick and twisted bullshit logic that is putting thousands upon thousands of our children at dire risk; but I guess when billions of dollars in profits are at stake...Magic is made possible...

 Quetiapine for Mania In Preschool Children 4 to 6 Years of Age With Bipolar Disorder
This study has been completed. 
 Purpose
This is an 8-week open-label study aimed at assessing the effectiveness and tolerability of Quetiapine, in the treatment of preschool children aged 4 to 6 years with bipolar and bipolar spectrum disorder. This is an exploratory, pilot study, seeking to determine whether Quetiapine is efficacious and well tolerated in the treatment of preschoolers with pediatric bipolar and bipolar spectrum disorder in this age group. The study results will be used to generate hypotheses for a larger randomized controlled clinical trial with explicit hypotheses and sufficient statistical power.

Official Title: Open-Label Study of Quetiapine for Mania In Preschool Children 4 to 6 Years of Age With Bipolar and Bipolar Spectrum Disorder
Primary Outcome Measures:
  • reductions in symptoms measured by [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Young-Mania Rating Scale (Y-MRS) [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mania Symptom Checklist [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 20
Study Start Date: February 2005
Study Completion Date: April 2009
Primary Completion Date: April 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Drug: quetiapine (Seroquel)
    2.5 - 5.0mg/kg PO BID quetiapine
Detailed Description:
Seroquel is a psychotropic agent that affects multiple neurotransmitter receptors in the brain: serotonin 5HT1A and 5HT2, dopamine D1 and D2, histamine H1 (IC50=30nM), and adrenergic receptors.
