Subject: TROVAN

Dear all,

On August 30th the The New York Times reported that thirty Nigerian
families sued Pfizer in federal court August 29, saying the company
conducted an unethical clinical trial of an antibiotic called Trovan on
their children in 1996.  Eleven children in the trial died, while others
suffered brain damage, were partly paralyzed or became deaf.

For the complete article, please see Dr. Mercola's website:

TROVAN:

Trovan is trovafloxacin/alatrofloxacin, yet another fluorinated quinolone.

On June 10, 1999 the FDA issued warnings about Trovan, a drug it had
approved just a year earlier

The FDA said it was aware of 14 cases of acute liver failure. Six of those
patients have died, and three had required liver transplants.

It is yet another drug in the long list of fluorinated drugs which have
been withdrawn in recent years, for causing deaths, liver dysfunction, etc.

Please see the report just issued by Professor Dzulkifli Abdul Razak from
the National Poison Centre in Malaysia:

"Poison Control: Fluorides, the deadly toxin within"

best wishes to all,

PS:

Please note that Pfizer has donated "Diflucan" to South Africa supposedly
to treat AIDS-related infections. Diflucan is FLUCONAZOLE, and this drug -
just like other fluorinated medications - has shown to cause craniofacial,
skeletal and cardiac anomalies.

When mothers  take fluconazole through or beyond the first trimester of
pregnancy their children may suffer from various serious congenital
anomalies.
