Two New Drug Risk Warnings from FDA

Estradiol Spray May Pose Risk for Kids and Pets - Menopausal women who use a spray form of topical estradiol (Evamist) to control hot flushes should avoid touching children and pets with treated areas of the skin, the FDA warned.

The agency said it had received eight reports of children ages 3 to 5 who showed breast enlargement and other signs of estrogen exposure after contact with women using the product.

Directions for use of the product -- approved in 2007 -- call for it to be sprayed onto the inside of the forearm.

"Patients should make sure that children are not exposed to Evamist and that children do not come into contact with any skin area where the drug was applied. Women who cannot avoid contact with children should wear a garment with long sleeves to cover the application site," the FDA recommended.

FDA Finds Pneumonia Risk with Daptomycin - The FDA said that the intravenous antibiotic daptomycin (Cubicin) may be linked to an increased risk of eosinophilic pneumonia -- a rare but serious potential side effect -- and requested that a new drug label warning be added. 

The agency reviewed the medical literature and adverse event reports for daptomycin and identified seven cases of eosinophilic pneumonia between 2004 and 2010 "that were most likely associated with Cubicin" on the basis of six criteria, the agency indicated in a Drug Safety Communication.

"Based on these reviews, FDA determined that eosinophilic pneumonia can be associated with Cubicin use and requested that the manufacturer of Cubicin include this information in the Warnings and Precautions and Adverse Reactions, Post-Marketing Experience sections of the drug label," according to the statement.

In 2007, the daptomycin label was amended to include pulmonary eosinophilia as a potential adverse reaction.

Boys Now Targeted by Big Pharma's Vaccine Campaign

1/5/10: Today another "flash" was published in MSM about the enhanced efforts to push Gardasil on adults, especially women 19-49.  Don't you see this is more about drug sales and profits than health? 

UPDATE: 1/4/10  If you have been following Gardasil vaccine issues on Natural Health News or in other places you know that this is a story we have been covering for about 5+ years.

Today HealthDay announced the new American Academy of Pediatrics 2010 vaccine guidelines; it includes Gardasil for boys and more swine flu shots.

At the same time this is announced, other medical news says that special diets for children with autism do not work.  I think this is mis-information, because if they are working in spite of mainstream medicine ignorance, there must be something to them.

And of course with more vaccination we can only know that we will continue to see more vaccine damage.

We do not consider Gardasil to be proven or safe.

If you have been following the thread of Gardasil articles here over the past year you probably won't be amazed by this newly announced campaign to bring Gardasil to your little boys.

From what I gleaned on the report I heard this morning there won't be a new vaccine created. Little boys will be jabbed with the same toxic vaccine as is marketed to girls from age 9 to 26.

I did not glean from the report that there have been any longterm studies on Gardasil for boys. Maybe it is just lagging sales that is behind this, along with FDA's denial for using Gardasil in women 27 to 45.

One reader of this blog commented today on the number of thyroid problems appearing in a group of young girls in their community. Sounds like an adverse effect that needs reporting.

Dr A Kalokerinos MD, Holder of the Australian Medal of Merit for 'outstanding scientific research', in an interview for the International Vaccination Newsletter of June 1995.

"Our society is littered with millions of children who were harmed in one way or another by vaccinations. Also, do not let us forget the millions of parents who had to watch helplessly as their children's lives were destroyed by devastating vaccination programmes."
