Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Massachusetts General Hospital will investigate conflicts of interest at a child psychiatry research center it established with funding from Johnson & Johnson, maker of the anti psychotic drug Risperdal.

The hospital, in a statement released yesterday, said it's grant specified the purpose of he center was scientific and educational, not to promote J&J products. Yet the centers 2002 annual report said it would undertake studies that "will move forward the commercial goals of J&J," according to documents released in connection with a law suit against the company.


The Johnson & Johnson Center for the Study of Pediatric Psychopathology was run by Joseph Biederman, a Harvard University child psychiatrist whose research helped fuel an explosion in the number of children diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and treated with anti-psychotics. His ties to J&J and other drug makers were criticized in June by Senator Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, who said Biederman failed to disclose most of the $1.6 million he received from the industry from 2006 to 2007.

The Petition requests emergent action by the FTC to immediately stop all vaccine advertisements until a proper safety warning and exemption rights disclosure can be mandated.

So the media finds itself parroting the same line: vaccines are safe; parents shouldn't be trusted to make choices; go back to sleep...

Note the implied attack: only the media-anointed can have the "true facts" - a typical Big Lie technique! Here are the comments I submitted to the NYT... wonder if they'll post same?there are two areas of our economy where the insurance industry has refused to write insurance; areas that are un-insurable risks. These are, nuclear power and, yes, vaccination. You cannot insure yourself or your kids against vaccine induced injuries. Neither can the pharmaceutical industry.

I have noticed that it appears that heart disease has increased in the last 30 years ,ever since we have focused on adding calcium to our diets...and have added calcium to many foods... Is there a link?

Most people have never heard of it, but a coronary calcium score could tell them more about their risk of developing heart disease than the answers to any of the other questions. A coronary calcium score is not only a measure of risk but also a gauge of early disease, say researchers. It directly counts the fatty plaques, which contain calcium deposits, in the heart vessels. These plaques are a major cause of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases.

Scientists may attempt to get around this problem by giving synthetic vitamins in pill form, but this practice presents problems as well. Synthetic vitamin D2 added to milk actually has the opposite effect of naturally occurring vitamin D complex, causing decalcification of the hard tissues and calcification of the soft tissues, including the soft tissues of the arteries.18 For this reason, D2 has been quietly dropped as an additive and replaced by D3, but there is evidence that synthetic D3 is poorly absorbed.19 Synthetic vitamin E has had disappointing results in trials20—the Shute brothers actually used wheat germ oil, a source of natural vitamin E complex. Synthetic vitamins B1 and B2 can cause imbalances affecting the utilization of B6. In general, vitamins from food work more efficiently and are needed in smaller quantities than synthetic vitamins.
