της εναλλακτικής ιατρικής σχετικά με τα φύλλα ελιάς διαβάστε και για μια από τις αγυρτίες της κλασσικής ιατρικής σχετικά με το φάρμακο Zyprexa
"Zyprexa has killed and permanently sickened thousands of people who have taken it," he says.
Mr Gottstein openly admits that he wanted to get the information out to save lives. "The bottom line is patient safety," he said.
The documents quoted by Mr Berenson in articles for the Times, showed that Lilly had concealed Zyprexa's links to weight gain, high blood sugar, and diabetes for a decade.
The documents also reveal that Lilly trained its sales representatives to increase prescriptions for Zyprexa by influencing doctors to prescribe it for off-label conditions, and with patient populations such as children for uses that have never been tested or approved by FDA.
Zyprexa is an antipsychotic approved for the limited use of treating adults diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and yet it is currently Lilly's number one selling product with sales over $4 billion last year and 20 million people have taken the drug.
To date, Lilly has paid about $1.2 billion to settle roughly 28,000 lawsuits out of court filed on behalf of persons who were injured or died after taking Zyprexa. However, another batch of plaintiffs is already lined for the next round of litigation.
