Mediator drug that kills: 500 dead, lobbies kill

[Christophe]

The reason mentioned at the time was not the potential danger but the lack of effectiveness:

Refusal to market the Mediator in 1977 in Belgium

PARIS - The Belgian health authorities refused in 1977 to market the Mediator, used in France from 1976 to the end of 2009, according to a document published in the Tuesday edition of Le Figaro and on lefigaro.fr.

In a document that Le Figaro was able to obtain and which is dated November 24, 1977, the head of the General Inspectorate of Belgian Pharmacy announces his refusal to market the Mediator in Belgium. "I allow myself to suggest to the Minister to refuse the registration of this drug", he wrote, according to the daily.

The Belgian Medicines Commission has issued an "unfavorable opinion" to the issuance of a marketing authorization for Mediator. "In question, the insufficiency of data as for the effect (long term) of the drug", according to Le Figaro.

The Servier laboratory appealed against this decision, but in 1978, the Medicines Commission confirmed its "unfavorable opinion".

The head of the General Inspectorate of Belgian Pharmacy writes that "the new clinical data provided (...) do not allow to consider that the product has a hypolipidemic or hypoglycemic activity", still according to the daily.

Le Figaro adds that the Belgians evoke "the anorectic effect of the molecule".

The Mediator, a drug intended for overweight diabetics, also used as an appetite suppressant, was withdrawn from sale in France in late 2009. It was prescribed to some five million people in France from 1976 until its ban and would responsible for the deaths of 500 to 2.000 people.

Crucial info, that should have been trumpeted in France since 1977 !!
French lobbies are ineffective in Belgium !!

So in practice, when taking a drug, look at all the components and look for if they are banned in certain countries, even for dyes and additives, and do not take if prohibited in a country !!

So you could be 32 years ahead !!

thanks to I. Frachon !!

Without it, we could have continued for a few decades with dangerous and not very useful drugs.

Buy his book!

There are 77 drugs to watch and weigh the risks!

Finally avoid painkillers as much as possible chronically because pain is subjective by a factor of 10 and controllable, by oneself, by acupuncture, by distraction by something else, by self-hypnosis, by placebo, by back training for sciatica, and weight loss with intense exercise, as for me, by replacement of the herniated disc , as I did for myself, by patience to wait for the decrease in inflammation, by waiting for the end of the attack by a virus for a stiff neck, or pain in a muscle like the calves (which I recently), etc ...

I lugged 3 years of continuous sciatica, ... Acupuncture, hypnosis the bone-setter the magnetizer the enemas the prayers, the bloodletting the decoctions, the gurus the exorcists the VTT, the physiotherapist, the masseur, your sister , incantations, grandmother's combinations, the grandfather's gnole (3 hat method), supervised bodybuilding and other soft or strong medicine did nothing for me. I weighed 66kg for 1m at that time ....

The day you find yourself completely paralyzed screaming in pain tied up in a shell at the back of a VSAB ... You don't want to hit you 200m drop with a bicloune ...

Spent twice on the billiards in neuro-charco in 9 months on two different floors ... Crushed discs, pinched sciatic nerve roots ... I'm more or less quiet since ...

The intense physical activity wears out the skeleton ... In particular the cartilages and surfaces of friction ... It is not the diet which will compensate ...

[dedeleco]

We are not all the same, with different sensitivities and weaknesses, I simply give what has worked for me in 15 years, in particular the replacement of a disc moved to tennis, forehand with typical sciatica and pain with each step, from foot to back, and put back in place the next day, despite the pain, doing the opposite movement, so tennis setbacks in extension !!
And the feeling of relief with this immediate replacement remains unforgettable !!
And for 15 years more problems, that rare back pain solved by muscular my back every day by ascending on foot or by bike a vertical drop of 200m sloping every day !!
What is worse for me, sitting at a computer, without exercising like this for weeks !!
I think that an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms of your personal pain (which you are the only one to feel and therefore able to choose the best solution) can solve a lot of problems !!
For many it works in my opinion !!
I thus avoided painkillers and operations !!
Specialists say that deformities of the back in MRI and pain have little correlation !!!!
My 96-year-old mother-in-law with a crooked back in hunchback is a demonstration of it !!
What I have found is that we have very different painful and nervous reactions to each other for the same cause, like little boo-boo.
The difference is even greater in terms of logical reasoning ability on indices !!

For me, I find that regular exercise is beneficial, and what is very bad is the rare and unusual exercise, without training !!!
It takes more than once a week !!

French lobbies are ineffective in Belgium !!

It is typically the (eronated) destruction that we could expect ...

Reread this small article in full, the causes are given: it is not the possible dangerousness but an effectiveness which did not convince the Belgian health authorities ...

[dedeleco]

Read me well:

French lobbies are ineffective in Belgium !!

to impose their drugs with unconvincing efficacy in relation to their dangers !!

In France, lobbies have been very effective in imposing this unconvincing and much more dangerous drug for 32 years !!

Tonight on Special Envoy:

"The Picks case". Doctors who receive threats, a patient dissuaded from going to trial, another doctor who faces the pressures of the Servier laboratory when he reports a serious case due to the Pick, a laboratory which employs curious methods of recruitment ... Taking it back to its source, the case of the Picks has the appearance of a black series intrigue

To understand the deep mechanisms behind the Mediator scandal, which are not specific to this drug, but to everything we eat, use, breathe, we must read the book:
Our daily poison
industry's responsibility in the chronic disease epidemic
by Marie Monique Robin
ed: the discovery of Arte Editions

Obesity and diabetes, etc., which are growing in epidemics, are due to these methods of obtaining authorization for products despite their skilfully minor or hidden dangers.
And once sick, drugs or food are worse, like Mediator or aspartame, biphenol, hormone disruptors, dangerous, powerful carcinogens, especially in fetuses for adult cancers much later and worse in their children, as for Distilbene and many more hidden ones.

Personal conclusion:
eat as little industrial as possible with lots of components and additives, less in quantity to buy organic, not more expensive if in lower quantity (caloric restriction), much less sugars and hydrogenated fats and other harmful industrial products in excess and do some fairly intense regular exercise gradually.

Mediator: Servier knew since 1995 that components were dangerous

[dedeleco]

look for dangerous products in the book Our daily poison, sold by industries knowingly from the start of their sale !!
Pesticides, PCBs, aspartame, (dangerous authorized, like tobacco), distilbene, bisophenol A (time bomb), benzene, PVC, etc., thanks to "Prostitute Science", resulting in an epidemic of chronic diseases, and cancers !!
