Fwd: Hypertension develops after colonoscopy preps / responsibility of FDA / WE ARE ALL GUINEA PIGS

[Guest guest]

>> First of all THANK YOU Carol and Jeannie and countless others who have

contributed to the FDA petition.

>> I believe the dangers of PEG are far reaching and this subject is BIGGER than

anyone has any idea.

>> It breaks my heart that OUR CHILDREN are indeed the guinea pigs and the first

to truly suffer from a drug the pharmaceutical companies KNOW is harmful.

>>

>> I will repeat what I have said before, as a nurse I took PEG component

laxatives, because my hospice patients were complaining.

>> I experienced severe abdominal cramping, but soon grew comfortable with

taking a daily dose. Prior to a colonscopy the physician's assistant was quite

'upset' (why I wonder, what does he know?) to learn I had been taking this

medication daily and requested I stop, he said, " You are too young and BECAUSE

WE DO NOT KNOW THE LONG TERM EFFECTS. "

>> He said I was not a dying hospice patient. SO, let me understand

this...because you might be dying and have less than six months to live, we can

give you a dangerous drug that we are not sure about, which is EXACTLY what is

happening.

>> Hospice Pharmacia, a national pharmacy sends these laxatives out to patients

across the nation daily by the thousands!

>> Instead of prunes for constipation, which I might add, our holistic

physicians much prefer, it is easier to take a pill (albeit, these unsuspecting

patients and loved ones think these pills are SAFE!)

>> The blind trust continues!

>>

>> How many people get a colonoscopy when they turn 50?

>> How many are diagnosed shortly afterwords with high blood pressure.

>> THERE IS A CORRELATION.

>> I have met three people who have reported exactly this.

>>

>> Healthy, unsuspecting people without any problems or history of high blood

pressure...

>>

>> Within a couple of months of having a colonoscopy, lo and behold they have

high blood pressure!

>>

>> It is explained away that they are getting older, this is part of the aging

process.

>>

>> I propose their kidneys have been effected and their renal tubules are now

'clogged' with PEG,

>> (or melted as Jeannie reports) hence the unexplainable high blood pressure.

>>

>> If you speak with anyone that this has happened to, have them report it to

the FDA immediately.

>> All they have to do is call the report line, tell them that they had a

colonoscopy and then developed hypertension.

>>

>> The FDA needs a list of all medications that were taken during the time the

high blood pressure developed.

>>

>> The inference is up to the FDA.

>>

>> It is incumbent on the FDA to put a STOP to this medication.
