The DANGEROUS Truth About TAMIFLU That is Being Hidden From You

This article may shock you, and quite honestly, I HOPE that it does!

I have written numerous articles about Big Pharma and how they rack in billions of dollars from unsuspecting consumers.  Their cash cow used to be Chemo. That was only surpassed recently by Statin drugs, which are said to be prescribed to people who do NOT need the drug. But more importantly, Statins are harming people:

How Statins Degenerate Your Brain Health  (article by Dr. Mercola on the dangers of Statins)

Recently, my sister almost died from her Statins. She had lost 40 lbs in one year (without trying) and also lost muscle mass all over her body. She wound up in the hospital where doctors said that she had Encephalopathy (brain swelling) and problems with her liver. Thankfully, she was told to stop the Statins and a little over a month later, she finally began to heal.

Remember this:  Doctors get kick backs from the Pharmaceutical companies!

But this article is about an Over the Counter drug called Tamiflu.

This week we have read so many articles on children experiencing hallucinations after taking Tamiflu.  Here are some headlines:

  • 6-YEAR-OLD HALLUCINATES, TRIES TO JUMP OUT WINDOW AFTER TAKING TAMIFLU
  • Warning: Tamiflu Causes Mental Health Issues
  • Bizarre Hallucination in Kids Taking Tamiflu
  • 6 Year Old Girl Reportedly Suffered Psychotic Effects From Tamiflu
  • Tamiflu Turned My Kids Into Hallucinating Sobbing Wrecks (from 2009!)

Mounting Tamiflu terrors: Girl, 11 saw ‘the portal to HELL’ and had to be hospitalized for three months after she was treated for the flu

  • Lindsay Ellis of Indianapolis was given Tamiflu last year when she got the flu
  • Days later, she began to hallucinate intensely 
  • Tamiflu has been linked to a number of cases of hallucinations in children
  • Though it is banned for children in Japan, it remains one of the CDC’s most highly-recommended flu treatments
  • Ellis spent three months in the hospital, but has now recovered 

Her father is calling for more warnings of Tamiflu’s dangers

An 11-year-old girl from became convinced that she was hearing the devil’s voice with insects crawling all over her body after she took Tamiflu last year.

Lindsay Ellis’s father, Charles, decided to go public with her harrowing story yesterday after reports emerged that another girl – a six-year-old in Allen, Texas – tried to jump out of a window under the influence of the flu treatment.

Already this year, 30 children have died of the flu, and parents are turning to Tamiflu to treat their young ones at the first signs of sickness.

But, in rare cases, Tamiflu has been linked to hallucinations like this one, from Indianapolis, Indiana, whose delusions subsided after she was taken off of the drug.

Lindsay Ellis, then 11, was incoherent when her father took her to the hospital, where she had to stay for three months last year before recovering from a reaction to Tamiflu

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that anyone for whom the flu might pose serious health risks – including children younger than five – get flu shots, and start taking flu antiviral drugs.

Tamiflu, or the generic oseltamivir, is one of three such drugs the CDC has endorsed for treating this year’s flu.

But every year, reports of terrifying neurological side effects emerge. – source

6-YEAR-OLD HALLUCINATES, TRIES TO JUMP OUT WINDOW AFTER TAKING TAMIFLU

After a 6-year-old girl in north Texas came down with the flu, her parents made the decision to give her a flu treatment called Tamiflu. But, they claim, the psychological side effects almost cost their daughter her life.

The girl hallucinated and ran away from school. She went home and upstairs to her bedroom. “The second story window was open,” the girl’s father said in an interview with KTVT on Friday. “And she used her desk to climb up onto it, and then she was about to jump out the window when my wife came up and grabbed her.”

Tamiflu is an antiviral that is supposed to block the flu virus from reproducing in a patient. But, like any drug, Tamiflu can cause side effects as well. According to WebMD, potential side-effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hives, and dizziness. The list also includes “delusions” and “hallucinations” as possible side effects from the medication, but they are very rare.

Furthermore, Forbes reported in 2013 that studies regarding the effectiveness of Tamiflu for treating the flu are flawed and funded by Tamiflu itself.

Does that mean that Tamiflu caused these symptoms in the 6-year-old? It’s hard to say. Hallucination is also a symptom of the flu itself, so it’s possible that the girl would have suffered the symptoms either way. After concerns that Tamiflu was causing hallucinations in children in Japan, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducted a safety review. They wrote in a report that “based on the information available to us, we can not conclude that there is a causal relationship between Tamiflu and the reported pediatric deaths.”

According to the Tamiflu website, the function of the drug is to treat people who have had the flu for two days or less, or who have been exposed but don’t show symptoms yet. The website also says that it is not meant to be a replacement for annual flu shots.

The side effects on the Texan girl should be short-term, and the family sent a letter to the FDA about their experience.  source

The Dangerous Truth About Flu Meds That’s Being Hidden From You (Responsible for Deaths, Suicides, and Countless Psychiatric Episodes)

Analysis

Over 10 years ago (and before my natural healing journey), I was traveling through Europe and went to a pharmacy to treat common cold symptoms. I had no fever, no chills, and no muscle aches, and yet, the pharmacist talked me into taking what was then a still-new drug for treating the flu, Tamiflu.

Skeptical, but not seeing other options in a foreign country, I decided to try it.

What followed were 48 hours of hellish side effects — strange delusions and hallucinations, accompanied by fever and complete disorientation. All of this came from just one dose, one pill.

What would have happened if I had taken it for the recommended duration of twice-a-day for five days?

As I later found out, it is not uncommon to experience psychiatric episodes such as delirium, delusions, hallucinations, and nightmares with Tamiflu.

These symptoms have not only adversely affected people, but have been linked to dozens of deaths.

But despite that (and repeated call-outs from skeptical health whistleblowers and scientists), the drug remains on the market, racking up over 800 million dollars in 2016 for the California based pharmaceutical giant Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. and Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Unfortunately, most people still don’t realize the immense harm this drug is capable of causing, until it’s too late.

And according to one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals, its claims for treating the dreaded flu virus each year may be highly exaggerated at best, if not a complete fabrication.

Tamiflu: A Dangerous Antiviral Scam?

Tamiflu or oseltamivir phosphate is an antiviral medication that was approved in the U.S. in 1999, and in Europe in 2002. Its maker Roche made big promises; the drug is marketed to both treat and prevent the flu virus – “the first pill to treat influenza.”

As has been discovered over and over again, it does not do what it promises, while underplaying serious side effects.

In 2012, the British Medical Journal called out Tamiflu on what it called “missing data” supporting the drug’s ability to actually work — claiming there is no evidence the drug can actually stop the flu according to CBS News.

A World Health Organization spokesman responded by saying the agency has substantive evidence that the drug can help to stop or hinder the progression of severe disease like pneumonia.

But the BMJ remained unconvinced.

In 2017, the WHO dealt a serious blow to the drug’s potential sales and reputation, removing Tamiflu from its list of “essential” medicines to “complementary,” in what the BMJ called a “vote for evidence based policy making, which will save money and harm.”

Meanwhile, however, the drug is still being sold, and as of 2012 it was also approved for children as young as 2 weeks old.

Today, Tamiflu is a common anti-viral drug to be recommended by doctors, who have bought into its marketing. But it doesn’t take a lot of digging to find the truth about the dangers of this “common” flu drug.

The Dangers of the CDC’s #1 Recommended Flu Drug

According to the CDC, Tamiflu is the first drug recommended for influenza each year.

But even though it may work for some, studies have shown that it only shortens flu symptoms for about half a day.

Its ineffectiveness was particularly evident during the swine flu pandemic of 2009. Europe spent millions on the drug, and studies later showed its surprising ineffectiveness. Instead, it may actually worsen flu symptoms.

Research from 20 clinical trials found that for some people, Tamiflu prevents their immune system from producing their own antibodies to fight the illness, leaving them more susceptible to it.

“This drug was given to 1,000 people a week over a phone line, but it was no better for symptom relief than over-the-counter medication — and you’re talking about potentially serious complications. I wouldn’t prescribe it to my patients,” said Dr. Carl Henegen of the University of Oxford.

Besides not working, the drug caused all sorts of horrible side effects.

“The stuff is toxic. It increased the risk of psychiatric events, headaches and renal events in one in 150 people. People reported nausea, vomiting, and constriction of the airways,” said epidemiologist Dr. Tom Jefferson of The Cochrane Collaboration. (This conclusion was reached after The Cochrane Collaboration retrieved data from Tamiflu, which was considered to be confidential).

The most extreme side effects of Tamiflu (one that I have experienced) is psychiatric episodes.

Psychiatric Nightmare: Child Deaths in Japan

Suicide is not a side effect that one expects from a flu medication, but this is exactly what has happened in Japan. At least eight kids and three adults reportedly committed suicide after taking Tamiflu, and there were over 1,745 cases of children experiencing psychiatric side effects as well in the country.

A total of 1,800 of these reports were delivered to the FDA in 2005, out of which 55 were from the U.S. There have been at least 70 reported deaths worldwide.

(Keep in mind that few people report negative reactions to drugs; I never reported mine. Japan requires adverse event reporting; the U.S. does not. Studies have shown that as little as 1% of all adverse events are being reported in the U.S.).

The Japanese cases got the most attention.

  • Two boys jumped from the second story of their homes.
  • A 14-year-old girl was diagnosed with delirium after she felt there was a stranger in her home when there was no one there, declared that her salad is poisoned, and finally said that she wanted to kill herself.

These three survived but others did not.

“He ran out into the snow barefoot in his pajamas, climbed over a 3-meter fence to cross train tracks and then ran into a truck,”said his father Haruhiko Nokiba.

Many others have reported depression and anxiety, and experiencing other psychopathic events.

While cases in Japan gained worldwide attention, patients in the U.S. who also had horrifying experiences took to the Web to warn others.

Customer reviews of the drug are confirming psychiatric experiences:

“My 7-year-old was prescribed Tamiflu. It helped his flu symptoms, but caused him to hallucinate, very agitated and feelings of wanting to hurt others.”

“Throwing up, acid in my stomach, insomnia and then got the panic attacks and depression…I am not on any anti-depression medication or anything. But I actually felt like I could die and it would be better. The thoughts racing through my head were horrible.”

“Within hours of taking TAMIFLU I was hospitalized because I could not breathe from throwing up so much, my nose was stopped up from the flu and throwing up blocked my airway…At one point while vomiting my eyes were so glazed over and I almost passed out because I was so weak. My husband was terrified for me and I honestly felt like I was having an out-of-body experience.”

*** To date, Japan is the only country which banned Tamiflu.

Near-Death Experiences in Europe and the U.S.

Besides psychiatric episodes, life-threatening reactions and events happened to many children in Europe and the U.S.

  • British TV host Andrew Castle’s daughter Georgina almost died after taking Tamiflu. She has asthma and experienced a respiratory collapse from the drug, which was given to her without a diagnosis. Castle told his story on television in 2009 and confronted health secretary Andy Burnham (in office 2008-2009) who was defending the drug.

This was the Swine Flu year when Tamiflu was recommended by the British government only later to be discovered by research that it was unnecessary and even risky for children to take this drug.

Adults have also been injured due to a Tamiflu side effect.

  • Samantha Goddard was in a coma for two weeks after an allergic reaction to Tamiflu. She was left blind, scarred, and with damage to internal organs.
  • Dr. Lawrence G. Roberts, known as “the father of the Internet,” totaled his car after blanking out and driving his BMW straight into a tree, hours after taking Tamiflu.

These are just some of the potential real life examples of the drug’s long list of  devastating possible side effects.

Tamiflu’s Other Side Effects

Tamiflu is made from oseltamivir phosphate and a cocktail of inactive ingredients, any of which could be adding to its severe side effects.

Its inactive ingredients are: pregelatinized starch, talc, povidone K 30, croscarmellose sodium, sodium stearyl fumarate. The capsule is made of gelatin, titanium dioxide, yellow iron oxide, and red iron oxide.

The powder for oral suspension contains: sorbitol, monosodium citrate, xanthan gum, titanium dioxide, tutti-frutti 19 flavoring, sodium benzoate, and saccharin sodium.

Besides psychiatric episodes, some people report the worst nausea and stomach pain they have ever experienced, worse than the flu itself can give.

Nausea and vomiting are one of the most common side effects with this drug.

Looking at its insert, we can estimate that if one million people took this drug, about 90,000 will experience vomiting; 70,000 – diarrhea; 20,000 will have headaches, and 20,000 will have abdominal pain. Other adverse events are bronchitis, dizziness, insomnia, vertigo, and fatigue.

But the side effects do not stop there. Here is the list of serious adverse reactions that were reported after the drug went on market:

  • Body as a Whole: Swelling of the face or tongue, allergy, anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions
  • Dermatologic: Dermatitis, rash, eczema, urticaria, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis
  • Digestive: Hepatitis, liver function tests abnormal
  • Cardiac: Arrhythmia
  • Gastrointestinal disorders: Gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic colitis
  • Neurologic: Seizure
  • Metabolic: Aggravation of diabetes
  • Psychiatric: Delirium, including symptoms such as altered level of consciousness, confusion, abnormal behavior, delusions, hallucinations, agitation, anxiety, nightmares

What Is Next for Tamiflu Battle?

After everything that happened, instead of banning this drug, it has been approved for kids as young as 2 weeks old.

And a generic version of it was created in 2016 (generic drugs are oftentimes more dangerous because due to regulations, they are not required to update their warning labels even when new information about adverse reactions emerges and the FDA is not in a hurry to change this regulation anytime soon).

What’s worse is that Tamiflu together with the FDA and other organizations continue to refute links between Tamiflu and the adverse reactions it has been shown to cause.

However, independent reports including one by The Cochrane Collaboration found that many negative drug trials were left unpublished, purposefully hidden from the public – over 100,000 pages of information.

Still, the FDA has done nothing about it.

As Dr. Peter Doshi, who specializes in independently analyzing pharmaceuticals, pointed out, the issue is that we do not have real watchdogs. As he found out from his research, a watchdog for Tamiflu does not exist, and there is unlikely to be any action taken again this drug anytime soon.

For now, all we can do is spread the knowledge and hope consumers finally get the message that the FDA, and health organizations around the world for that matter, have been ignoring for so long.

The take away from this very informative article is found in just ONE statement:

“Still, the FDA has done nothing about it.”

And do you know why the FDA is silent on this toxic and incredibly dangerous OTC medicine?  It’s because the FDA and the CDC are both in the pocket of Big Pharma!

Yes, that’s right.  Many people are getting very rich from the sale of Tamiflu, while others watch their children experience the most terrifying hallucinations and anxiety of their lives!

This is beyond evil. These children are most likely emotionally scarred for life.
