This is my story. My daughter 14, the most precious child ever born. She has a wonderful disposition always happy, loving, and determined to succeed in whatever she does. She just brightens everyone’s world. She suffers from severe seasonal allergies and mild asthma. She takes approximately seven allergy/asthma medicines a day during peak season. Over the past two years she has been taking Singular as one of her medicines. Being 14, sick of taking medicine she would not take the Singular on a regular basis. Approximately four months ago “MOM” says, if you take nothing else take your Singular it will work both for the seasonal allergies and your asthma. She has been taking this regularly four the past four months. She became paranoid, she became a compulsive eater and bites the skin on her fingers. She would eat and chew on her fingers at the same time, until she choked. She had so much anger, she could not even go to the mall without temper tantrums.(As a child she never had any tantrums ) Always afraid. Severe depression set in. She would cry at a moments notice. She would say, I have a very sad life, sad very sad, nothing makes me like this, I’m just sad. She felt she should go live with the homeless people. I asked her why, she didn’t know, she felt maybe that’s where she belonged. Nightmares and sleepless nights. She needs help quickly. Before calling the Doctor, I went on the internet and entered Singular and depression and I found 1900 entries, all people telling me what I was experiencing. Could this possibly be the answer for us? I called her Dr and told him what I thought, he said he has never had anyone that this has happened to. He hoped it was the answer, but really didn’t think is. He said if it wasn’t the answer she would need therapy, mood stabilizer and Prozac. Its day four off Singular, she smiling, no tears today, no temper tantrums, looking forward to school next week, wants to play volleyball next year, singing in the car, I hear that happy voice again.(Hi, Mommy!!!!!!) Every once in a while a glaze comes over her face. She isn’t a 100% back, but I know it is coming. To all the people that don’t have the happy ending, I will pray for you and hold you in my heart forever. June 2, 2008

Omega-3 fatty acids from good sources - fish oil if you have to do a supplement
Good low fat proteins
A good B-complex vitamin supplement
A supplement to put the good bacteria back into the intestines
Yogurt
Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables

Singulair wrecks the good bacterial in the digestive system. No wonder that she was starving. You will be able to do it with diet and relaxing exercise such as taking walks.

I posted back in March about our granddaughter who started taking Singulair when she was 9 until the story broke and we took her off immediately. She's almost 12 now and as soon as we took her off, within days I noticed a calmness, her eyes weren't angry, we actually could have a conversation without her getting mad or anxious or frustrated. I have emailed FDA and Dr Sellers. I urge you to email her with your story. This is a highly dangerous drug for children. Merck has made 5.5billion from this drug alone last year, that is why they are keeping these horrible effects quiet.

God Bless To You all! My son was on Singulair for a short time until saw a report on a teenager who committed suicide after being on it for several weeks. Happy go lucky kid until he started this Singulair. I went to my fridge and threw it out in the trash! Doctors are ignorant and not listening to their patients. They only tell their patients what the FDA tells them. belive me, I know that God created everything we need to heal ourselves for every ailment is on this earth in natural form with no side effects. All you have to do is research it and you'll find it.
