According to a new report, side effects of antipsychotics, such as Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperdal and Abilify, could be responsible for as many as 1,800 deaths and 1,620 strokes each year among the elderly with dementia in the United Kingdom.
The report, which was commissioned by the British government, found that the use of antipsychotics for dementia has been largely ineffective, resulting in improvement in only 20% of patients. As a result of the findings, the U.K. Department of Health has initiated plans to reduce the use of atypical antipsychotic drugs like Zyprexa, Risperdal, Abilify and Serquel for dementia in its own health system, and hopes that the reduction will be picked up by other nations as well.
There are an estimated 180,000 elderly people with dementia in the United Kingdom currently being treated with the antipsychotic drugs, according to the report’s author, Professor Sube Banerjee. However, only 36,000 were found to derive any benefit from the drugs.
“The findings of my review confirm that there are indeed significant issues in terms of quality of care and patient safety,” said Banerjee, professor of mental health at King’s College London Institute of Psychiatry, in a letter to the Minister of State that accompanied the report. “These drugs appear to be used too often in dementia and, at their likely level of use, potential benefits are most probably outweighed by their risks overall.”

Google “Seroquel Death”
The first listed will be “Death by Seroquel” written by me Peter Rosenholm
It is about military weapons testing on unwitting subjects with a weapon that appears to be MEDUSA developed by the Navy for crowd control. Be it this weapon or another governments have the ability to make people hear voices using what is called the “microwave hearing effect”. If attacked a target goes to the hospital they can then be involuntarily committed. That is what happened to me.
The target is then discredited and can be drugged. This is a means to replays the false arrest and imprisonment that police had tried to accomplish and failed at. Protesters and whistle blowers are now in danger of this kind of attack by of governments. The use of non-lethal weapons is just an way to torture and discredit covertly.
Many elderly have died and now soldiers coming home from war with PTSD are being killed with doses of 1600 mg per day. They are beginning to die in large numbers. Here is an article from the Huffington Post.

Below is a comment from a doctor to “Death by Seroquel”. Peter Rosenholm
i visited my psychiatrist for not being able to sleep. yes, I almost died twice due to seroquel. I could not breath, lay down, my heart was palpitating like crazy and now a month after, I have seizure like convulsions almost every night and ticking of the body all day long. I am seeing a specialist, been in and out of hospital. This drug is dangerous, and yet to be revealed about its consequences. There are over 13000 deaths every year yet the manufacturers are pushing to advertise due to its 4.3 billion dollar profit every year. It’s a crazy world out there. By the way, I am a doctor.

Again… that is right the MEDUSA weapon can make people hear voices like schizophrenia and only the targeted individual hears it by means of the microwave hearing effect.
The target is then discredited and can be drugged and killed because everyone thinks they are ill. This is a means to replace the false arrest and imprisonment that police had tried to accomplish and failed, with this new covert means. Protesters and whistle blowers are now in danger of this kind of attack by our governments. The use of non-lethal weapons is just another way to torture, discredit and kill covertly.

I recently red an article where one doctor has made $5000,000.00 from pushing this drug. A question that needs to be asked is when these elderly and PTSD veterans die how much do the government save on retirement and disability payments?
