A comment on Number of Yaz and Yasmin Lawsuits Growing

Alberta M. Floyd — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:38:37 GMT

The history of chemical birth control is, with no exaggeration, littered with the bodies of women: in the late 50's/early 1960's the first pill ENOVID, (developed by Gregory Pincus, funded by Margaret Sanger, tested on poor Puerto Ricans!) caused blood clots that killed or maimed thousands of women in the first years of its use. Recently, the New York Times termed it a "massive overdose" -- 10 times the dose needed to suppress ovulation! FIFTY YEARS LATER, Yaz. When will we women learn to honor our bodies? To shine a light on about our cyclic fertility instead of suppressing it? To be free IN our womanly fertility, not from it? To know WHEN we are fertile and when not? Our own power is in self-control, NOT birth control.

SUE THEM AND HELP US WOMEN... In December of 2007 I weighed 125 lbs. - looked and felt great. I started taking Yaz and within the 4 months that I took it I gained 20-25 lbs.

I am a certified personal trainer and former bodybuilder and fitness competitor, I tried over and over to lose the weight and I was having the hardest time getting my body to change.

I had my thyroid tested, hormones, etc. - - Just 8 weeks ago my massage therapist was working on me and he kept hitting certain spots and so I asked him what that related to within my body and he kept saying "Gallbladder"

So he suggested and I concurred, and did a 6 day gallbladder cleanse. AMEN!!! My body has been changing dramatically.

Then I come across information that Yaz is being sued for Gallbladder issues - AND many other issues too.

This really is beyond upsetting. We have been used like guinea pigs!! This product is obviously not safe and obviously has major complications and many various side effects depending upon the individual woman.

I pray for this woman that had a stroke and for the other women to get justice for the rest of us!!

I THANK GOD THAT MY MASSAGE THERAPIST WAS THERE TO GIVE ME GUIDANCE AND HELP ME SAVE MY OWN LIFE!

Who knows what would have happened and what was happening to my body with that pill in my system.

GOD SPEED FOR ALL THE WOMAN WHO HAVE BEEN HARMED BY THIS PRODUCT!!

It has taken me almost 2 full years to see my body change!!! So for those women that have taken it and gained weight - - consider a gallbladder cleanse - THANK GOD it worked for me!!!

GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

Those figures are vastly under reported. The reason is that there is no specific line item on the attending officer's clipboard. Police officer's attention is devoted to A) making sure medical attention is provided for the injured. B) cleaning up the accident and getting traffic flow back in intact, and C) recording the accident. Don't forget most people are NOT going to simply volunteer the information that a cell phone caused the distraction.

This is a joke. All oral contraceptives have the same listed adverse effects. The only reason that Bayer Corp is being sued is that they are the producers of the number one and two OC on the market. There was no mention if these women had any type of pre existing conditions that might also be the cause of the stroke or the pulmonary embolisim. Finally, YAZ is not indicated for severe premenstrual depression. This article is about as accurate as the law suit.

A comment on Headphones, Pedestrians and Railroad Tracks Don't Mix

Mike Bryant — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:57:34 GMT

I agree with the safety advice and actually looked at this topic from the Minnesota side today, but I still would make sure that the cases were looked at closely before it was assumed that what the railroad said happened, really did happen. In the Litchfield case, they only found what they say was the persons player near the scene.

Jane, You know as long as Merck and all the BIG PHARMA'S have a shield of preemption of the Law, with the immunity they can do what ever they please to continue with their drug Blitz in this country and the world. They are not held Accountable for any loss of life that they take from innocent children or any consumers. They are above the Law. Fact is there is NO FEDERAL,NO STATE LAW for Product Liability for DEFECTIVE Prescription DRUGS. NO remedy is provided for death or injury. Merck and others get off with a voluntary (NO CONTEST) Criminal fine, Called Settlement out of Court, as the cost of doing business and uses the Consumers as their experimental scientific study, that never gets public announcements other than the death certificate.It is shameful that our Congress allows this to continue. If you as an indivual tries to seek justice, with or without an Attorney you can not prosecute for the intentional death caused by any Prescription drug. The Law is Preempted by Congress.
