Study showing ineffectiveness and nasty side effects of Seroquel was buried in 1997

This will come as no shock to those that have been following the abhorrent practices of AstraZeneca, one of the world’s most destructive pseudoscience corporations in this blogger’s humble opinion.

The Washington Post (not my usual first news source) has produced a surprisingly decent and balanced report about a study from 1997 showing that AstraZeneca’s flagship poison which they call Seroquel, was no more effective than older ‘antipsychotics’ (industry term) and had far worse side effects.

Psychonauts the world over will lament, “Well, duh!”  This Serotonin Antagonist is designed to disable the tryptamine system in the human brain – one of the most important and study-worthy neurochemical systems.  It’s a sledgehammer of a drug, and really has no business as a therapy for people who have any possibility of recovery and leading a normal life.

As students of the psychedelic mind, it’s important that we question this toxin and all others that seek to disable the neurochemical system that we know to be connected to spirituality, insight, love, and our sense of the profound.  It is alarming that this drug is available for a medical professional to administer, but not LSD, Psilocybin, or MDMA.
