Health Alert: Antidepressants linked to increased risk of stroke

Greetings,

   It is true that the devil and his medicine is experimental. Most medicines has harsh side effects. We find in most cases the side effects can be deadly.Some happenning years after the first introduction to the medice.

  One meal a day or every two days could spell the end of much medicine, doctor bills, and the building of hospitals if we would eat the proper food and eat it only when it is necessary to eat it…” ALLAH (God) in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, has taught me that fasting and the right kind of food are the cures to our ills. He has told me there is no cure in drugs and medicine. And this, the world is now learning. We can take medicine all of our lives until it kills us, but we are still ailing with the same old diseases.

  The bad food and drinks we are putting into our bodies keep us a victim to illness. There are not too many nice doctors who will tell you that drugs are not good for you, because they paid for their learning and want to keep practicing.”–pg.41(htetl-how to eat to live,bk.2)

    Use of popular antidepressants is linked to an increased risk of some strokes caused by bleeding in the brain, but that risk is low, according to a multi-study analysis published Wednesday in the online issue of Neurology.

For the research, scientists analyzed all of the studies that have looked at antidepressant use and stroke, which included 16 studies with more than 500,000 total participants. They found that people taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which are the most commonly used antidepressants, were 50 percent more likely to have an intracranial hemorrhage than those not taking the antidepressants and about 40 percent more likely to have an intracerebral hemorrhage.

 

But study author Daniel Hackam, of Western University in Canada, said the findings should be viewed with caution because these types of strokes are very rare and the actual increased risk for the average person is very low.

 

“Overall, these results should not deter anyone from taking an SSRI when it is needed,” Hackam said. “But doctors might consider other types of antidepressants for people who already have risk factors for these types of strokes, such as those taking blood thinners, people who have had similar strokes already or those with severe alcohol abuse.”
