in light of the real risk of suicide and violence but in america the us f.d.a. remained unconvinced and demanded more studies for over twenty years thomas was head of f.d.a. psychopharmacology division and had been in the sick of the s.s.r.i. controversy since well before the one nine hundred ninety one prozac hearings lockring left f.d.a. in two thousand and twelve and started a new business dedicated to helping drug companies get f.d.a. approval for their drugs but he was not alone at the intersection of public service and personal profit i do not find from the evidence today that there is credible evidence to support a conclusion that an ide to present drugs cause the emergence and or the intensification of suicidality and or other violent behaviors when dr daniel casey resurfaced nine years after the one thousand nine hundred one prozac hearings he chat he did so as a paid expert witness for pfizer attorney andy victory conducted the deposition you

were the chairman of that committee for several years right yes the chairman of that committee who is moderating it in a public building in a public place was wearing a bulletproof vest dr casey did you wear a bulletproof vest at that meeting yes. i do ever wore on part of that well have you ever worn one set you know because either one of the family members of the people men are by president would shoot him you certainly did not believe it was felt from the eli lilly side of the coin did you know no conflict of interest and yet that would not affect your objectivity so your testimony yes. many can then lead to one hundred british men using a button to press the right button and sit over the. exchange so let me say there is something that says

a lady in this case sent to see this week we've done just enough. hey everybody i'm stephen ball. task hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and intervene to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru where he's a little bit different i'm not a one can find i know no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country and i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans call me and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american pill which.

apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to just kill you narrowness and spending to do the twenty million one play a. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so what chance with. the thinks it's going to. when you don't see. the teachers who are. there they could. not. let alone they. said. no servant is messy that.

you speak french. in a remote town in western canada the stephan family was facing a life and death struggle in the shadow of the rocky mountains two of debbie stephens children were exhibiting the same symptoms that had ultimately claimed her life joseph was becoming frighteningly violent and his sister autumn was succumbing to severe bipolar with its mecurio mood swings their father tony stuff and was desperate and searching for any way to save his children when drug after drug failed the answer came from what seemed the unlikeliest of places micronutrients

mainly minerals i remember the earlier days of you know doing the the testing with nutrients and and different things i think they were trying to reduce some liquid mineral thing too you know so it's not like you to drink or cup of something it could be an ounce and i don't think it works very good and it smelled funny i remember the smell and i can still taste in the back of my throat i think they burned it i'm not sure we put him on a cocktail that contain vitamins minerals any arguments and amino acids i was absolutely livid when i found out that he had taken joseph off of his medication and i said some terrible things to him i told him that it was on his head the next suicide in this family was going to be has fought i remember about six weeks into this program that we sat together on the couch in his hood where was

or. what happened to me why was i so angry all the time said don't go there you don't have to live the day you're here in the present it was like one day waking up and a fog had completely left it and that was amazing it was it were very real turning point in my life with joseph on the mend tony steph and then turned his attention to his daughter autumn who had been in and out of sight wards. i won't say that i forced her to do it because it doesn't some politically correct but i constrained her to do it you know and she she just didn't believe that this was going to work at all first it was just just keep taking your medications i don't care you know i'll take your meds take this one that just keep taking it so they waited until i had a little med breakthrough and i went rummaging for a knife and there was and screaming involved and he and this friend of his who happened to be a psychiatric nurse. stuffed me with a bunch about

a van and pup made a bed and then while i was still really nicely sedated again force feeding me the concoctions back in one thousand nine hundred six when i first met autumn string him it was the first day i also met her father tony stephan and she was sitting there in front of us completely normal very bright very articulate very charming young woman. doing very well on vitamins and minerals but she had lived through this horrible horrible period and could remember it so vividly it was very impressive you knew that you were hearing a true story and i think that that has come through consistently with autumn these were just three people from southern alberta who believed that they had fixed two children in tony's family and they did it with vitamins and minerals off the shelf and they just desperately wanted

a scientist somewhere to take them seriously and do some research when stefan untrue who approached dr caplan in one thousand nine hundred six she was the director of behavioral research for the university of calgary as a scientist she was highly skeptical and sort the notion of utilising minerals for mental illness was simply proposed for us i thought well that's impossible you can't do that there's no way it would have that effect but i think that line of thought. is reflective of our lack of education about nutrition and the fact that blood is bathing the neurons in our brain every minute of every day bringing oxygen and what micronutrients to make those brain cells work stephan and his co-founder created a nonprofit called true hoop and after years of experimentation they developed a mineral based formula called m. power plus intrigued by autumn and joseph successful transformations dr kaplan and

others continued studying the formula for bipolar disorder a.d.h. d. and depression he wasn't trying to build an empire when he set out to save me and joe it was it was not a deliberate act the way he's not of formulator it was a conversation that led to an idea that led to an answer and that's all he was ever in it for and he's faced saw much opposition for doing the right thing he's faced a lot of opposition for that and i think it's changed the course of his whole life as it has with dr caplan when she first presented her findings about the true hope mineral vitamin combination to the canadian psychiatric association's annual meeting in two thousand and one she and the company were immediately under attack when i went to graduate school they did not prepare me to be personally attacked for just doing objective research that was a little shocking when you try investigate a new paradigm. the resistance is incredible i watched dr caplan go through this we

had major resistance from health care the shutting down trials i mean here the operative government had provided five hundred fifty four thousand dollars so that she could continue the work and health care that came in and swathed the trial they destroyed health canada not only shut down dr kaplan scientific investigation into micronutrients and mental health they ordered true hope to stop manufacturing in power loss when the company refused they seized the product to the us canadian border and banned it for sale in canada why we're talking about vitamins and minerals here when true hope fought back through the courts and won it wasn't long thereafter that health canada mobilized the royal canadian mounted police to conduct a gun was drawn raid at the true hope offices in alberta despite farmers falsified science and billion dollar fines for fraudulent marketing and in spite of millions

who were harmed by psychiatric drugs health canada decided that it was this tiny nonprofit that needed to be shown the full might of the canadian government there has been a huge bias against nutrition research whose triggering that who what what is the political agenda that is continually. bombarding us with the message that taking vitamins and minerals might not be a good thing i don't get that but the result is that the there is a lot of bias against people who say not only should we take them we should be studying it more and we should see whether or not there is treatment benefit from vitamins and minerals after nearly two decades of wrangling with health canada and three quarters of a million dollars in court costs and legal fees for true hope bonnie caplan judea rutledge and others continue to investigate the use of nutrients as a primary treatment for mental health yet the road has been anything but easy. i

was very aware of how many people were incredibly skeptical about this work i was trained as a scientist and we need to evaluate the evidence and what has astounded me is the obstacles that we've faced in order to try to answer what's a i think a very important question for our community i happen to think that medications are very important especially in acute crises but to me they're the supplement in the ideal world i believe that it would be more beneficial to a lot of people especially developing children to be treated first with everything psychosocial family therapy etc and nutritional which is not going to cause any long term harm and that should be primary intervention there are going to be people who want to say that you know i'm just trying to make a lot of money off of a big made up story but my mother is dead in the ground her dad stead. and we all

know how that happened. she had a prescription and and i'm not dead. and i've got four healthy kids and a great marriage and that's something i didn't expect would ever happen with me. the lesson of a generation's worth of psychiatric experiments is that regulators didn't protect the public doctors didn't protect patients journalists refused to us the tough questions the pharmaceutical companies played the system and profited handsomely and millions suffered died became addicts or were otherwise harmed. these are the stories of those who have fallen and of those who have somehow survived many lost sons and daughters brothers and sisters and their tragedies forced these private people out of the shadows they wanted answers and were not interested in the

politics of medicine if the truth had been afforded us decades ago millions would have been spared similar fates perhaps changes coming albeit too slowly but until it occurs we should take nothing for granted not our lives nor our lives or the gift of our families and friends as these letters from generation our ex have taught us there is peril in the conventional wisdom of treating so many people so indiscriminately with such powerful life changing drugs. as they move on every birthday every holiday every anniversary of a loved one's death. their only prayer is to stop this from happening to anyone else.

please. please. please. please.

please. please. please. please. please please. please. please. please please. please please please yes i was pretty hard with lamar to her

but you please. help remove it all slow going to leave well the words will mostly we don't and we will all so you will put me in your one of them stood up and wish about so. many times you. are going to move you don't go to the middle of these crowds move you the clue cops believe you know it's hugely hugely showed recently you look good so. you will know the yellow bloodless secret of the armor surely you can you get other cool useful up when you. told me my space and i was. if i were of public opinion i would seek to have myself and all of my friends and my family of leaders at the local level to a national level be arrested by israel what you need to do is hold a mirror up to the israeli people and say this is what you're creating this is the

reality on the ground we're not using violence we will not cooperate with the occupation anymore i plead with the public opinions we do each of the nonviolent struggle because if you use violence you will never get the support of the israelis or the world. exists is hanun kentucky. over all of this move the places people are going to agree. to. a co money since it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners the said. that it was live to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever

happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. it's all to see we have a great scheme we need to strengthen it before the free float world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waving spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i had a lot of practice. since my last. in the.

deepening division. between. shane that is think about this country has been through and now we're looking at another just. never be a united states. the pro global. economic forum giving a speech from america. a massive explosion rocks the diplomatic district of the afghan capital killing at least ninety five as the country's.

international for the sunday weekly top headlines of the day the. u.s. relations have suffered yet another blow this time over northern syria. that's after the turkish army launched a military offensive against their positions in the region. you know. people now have to flee an area that was previously considered pretty stable i mean

what a shame that is think about all that this country has been through and now we're looking at another destruction in northwestern syria because turkey has taken its eye off the ball isis and going after the p.k. at this time and i mean then the big the weapons have been provided to the wife of the united states the americans haven't kept their promise since man. lately trump statements saying that they won't give any way. and then saying that we are not giving them any during last night's telephone conversation and create a crisis of trust. if the conflict in the north of syria has the potential to escalate further the turkish president says the operation will be extended to other kodesh held regions right up to the iraqi border because there are by washington which has its own personnel stationed in that region as well so he is now demanding they leave the area while local kurds are calling on america to help.

see that the u.s. doesn't support safran the thing that's double standards america has no tools to present to directly demanded the us or fills its promises and protects liberated areas including now for an. invasion as a foreign occupation of the us out of right before turkeys are sold american military command had announced its plans to create a border force involving kurdish militias and that infuriated ankara the white house quickly backtracked saying no border force would be created but that was not enough to stop the turkish tanks from rolling into syria. and our sourcing the rhetoric coming from washington and ankara as of late. unbelievable is this real a nato member telling daddy you know i mean for me to come in behave yourself oral point a gun and am i exaggerating a bit mr aired on didn't say that these exact words but turkey's got

a prime minister who pretty much did anyone who give logistical support to the white b.g. is turkey's target for the record the white b.g. equals the kurdish army and for all these years who's been giving the kurds all kinds of support right. the kurds were extended in all of branch that's what ankara calls its military op the but where does that wipe e.g. get its guns i made it tapered on couldn't care less why washington's been helping the kurds to destroy eisel for this man the kurdish militias are no better than terrorists that explains his latest messages to america because the us is in the process of creating a terror army on our border what we have to do is nip this terror army in the bud america do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us we will run out of patience does anyone from the us government have anything to say we urge turkey to

exercise restraint and ensure that its military operations remain limited in scope and duration and scrupulous to avoid civilian casualties some very restrained council there to be restrained think about it mr aired on rants that america u.s. officials don't hit back turkey rolls out the tanks flies out the warplanes sends soldiers over the border washington basically keep stop after all this isn't about kim who's sly the squeak makes donald trump for one reward so perhaps the turks and the kurds have succeeded in one thing together were juicing america to baffled silence. we discuss the latest in the african region with. one he says he has been provoked. thirty thousand soldiers to be trained by united states was extremely provocative to varied human powers to iran

to syria and also to believe this and many can move me. this problem and this confrontation and three i believe that. their key and particularly president. realize that this kind of move could lead to partition of syria and also a partition of picky so that's why he moved and sent his forces. the military offensive against the kurds drew international attention with a number of european countries seeing antiwar rantings some of them turning violent resulting in scuffles with police and arrests. go yeah yeah yeah.

i. i. was. i was was. then you will the world economic forum took place in davos this week and the star attraction this year was donald trump who became only the second u.s. president to attend the summit as was it was rather unexpected as trump's america first policy seems to be at odds with the forum's improving the state of the world tagline the u.s. leaders arrival was met with a protest two thousand people marched through juric denouncing both trump and the foreign service smaller protests took place elsewhere in the. clothing journey and i didn't seem to put off the u.s. leadership though. jacqueline bouvier reports. feel very flattered that he

has chosen this forum. don't want to listen to him you can they can leave well probably to no one's surprise whatsoever trump speech did feature his signature phrase of america first and his speech is actually rounding out the end of the forum i believe in america i will always put america first when the united states grows so does the world america is roaring back america is a cutting edge john and that's what we're doing in america and the results. on this day america's future has never been brighter i will always put america first i believe in america so come to america where you can innovate create and build now that pretty much wraps up his whole speech which centered on progress that's been made in the u.s. in the presence of opinion since he came to the white house term speech was highly

anticipated and according to reports lines were out the door hours before it even started and here at this economic forum trump in true businessman fashion used the opportunity to promote himself and his country. european leaders were also at the forum with europe first ideas that like trump's went against the grain of assignments globalist stance it isn't gentlemen my my my first missy each he said france is back france is back at the core of for europe because we will never have any forensics this without a european success if between our twenty seven member states are not able to send a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the united states if for employees see is made on the national level and then we will feel nuts and the number of central topics on this year's agenda or davos actually had little to do with economics at all author an episode gerald celente thinks the

world economic forum has shifted its focus from the central word in its name the davos speaks to the zero point one percent of the people they have very little concern about or what the rest of the people are getting it's one big club and it's a deal making club again all this other little things about you know gay rights equal pay oh that's just a lot of nonsense and it's for the media to write about when they don't want to write about the hard facts of how the so few own so much and how so many on so little. want to state a taliban suicide bomber killed at least ninety five people and injured more than one hundred fifty in the afghan capital.
