Default Wyeth Busted On My Local News 10-8-09

edit - I had to remove links to post this because I only have 1 post. **.

My local news here in Florida had the above story on Wyeth yesterday.
They had insiders claim to be world known doctors hyping Prempro/Premarin! Class action sounds easy. The 2008 Wyeth/FDA/Estriol connection wasnt mentioned/known...till now.
Go to cbs12.com - news - video stories - scroll 3 or so and find "legal brief: drug benefits". Its grayish in color. You'll be amazed what they did and know theyre going to pay.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

FDA's site has 2008 news headline stating Wyeth told them ESTRIOL is NG. Liars. I had to delete that link too. Just go to ** and find News. Go to 2008 January. Title has Menopause in it.

GoodLuck. Yes I have MS and paraplegia and want estriol which was cheap! Help me, yourself, your friends, your insurance, medicare ect please.

Watch that news story. I have with grin ear to ear 10 times Estriol will come back if we make enough noise. I know it.

I wrote that last night slightly exited over the news story.
What I need is more people to call fda, ask if they can reverse their decision on banning Estriol from consumer products politely since Prempro and Premarin are now known to be more harmful then previously disclosed.
888 INFO FDA is main # but I've been calling more direct non toll free's.
And since Wyeth is now caught lying about the doctors that praised it, I'm sure the consumer group they went to fda with was also insiders.

Maybe a call to Wyeth asking them to contact fda to reverse what they said about Estriol also. Possibly lessen the blow they'll take if THEY correct it.

We need Estriol back. It's alot cheaper for me to try then Tysabri $3,000/month. I started Copaxone in 06, Rebif mid 09, back to Copaxone now. Progressing rapidly and I exercise daily, eat well ect.

Thankyou

Jack, the problem is I want to try estriol (hormone) in the worst way for my MS since pregnant women improve so much while carrying.
WYETH and its (own im sure) consumer group had fda pull it from consumer products Jan 2008. fda's site has the article from 08. Ive printed and handed to doctors. Problem is estriol is cheap and very effective for menopause - Premarin/Prempro compitition. Wyeth needs to pay the piper for us. Worst part is i'm only finding harmful data on premarin/prempro and not estriol.

3 more posts and I'll be allowed to post links to fda and video clip.

I recall someone telling me that those drugs do not even contain Estriol ...

Thanks Jack. 1 more post and i'll be able to post links.
I'm telling you (and hopefully directing you soon) it's black & white on fda's own site. If wyeth and fda don't take a hit on this and lift the ban on estriol which was placed without any proof or evidence it doesnt work..no forget that..we'll make it happen. Its hard going alone but i'm trying.

That's the video that ran on my local news last week and only once.

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsro.../ucm116832.htm
That's FDA's admittance to siding with Wyeth without evidence estriol isn't effective. Bottom of article you'll see Wyeth and "consumer group". Give me a break.

My goal is to get FDA to reverse their baseless 2008 decision, help us & save money.
