I asked Martha to do something on PFS and she emailed me today to say she had published this…
3 pages of pure brilliance …
I posted my comment in the comment section.
Sexual dysfunction is just the tip of the ice burg. You don’t just loose interest in women or sex. You loose interest in everything. I have lost feeling in the skin all over my body. I can no longer sleep more then 2-3hours. I have dry eyes and mouth. Extreme pain in pelvis, Vision loss, Extreme fatigue . This drug destroys the central nervous system. I consulted with my GP and he said this drug only works in the scalp and side effect go away if you stop. This was in 4/2014. Based on his “professional” opinion I decided to try it. Biggest mistake of my life. I took it for 24 days then all hell broke loose on me. I have a wife and 2 kids that now barely have a father because I am so sick from this medication.
Thanks again Paul for continuing to get word out.
My pleasure
So true. Great comment. The sexual dysfunction always gets the attention, but this drug can do so much more.
Yeah pfs isnt a simple erectile dysfunction problem. Its a serious CNS problem.
Interesting reply…

You’ve been poisoned, all conventional drugs are poisons. Don’t believe that nothing can be done or that things won’t eventually get better, don’t despair.
For now treat the individual symptoms to get relief using safe natural methods if possible, be careful if you are taking any conventional drugs they can interact with almost anything including everyday foods, that’s how dangerous they are.
It will take time but the damage this drug has done IS repairable at the DNA level. Research is already well advanced in this area and will be available for treatments for most conditions before too much longer, clinical trials have already been run for some conditions. Take care of yourself.
Hmm, I wonder who that is.
Excellent story. Perhaps the best yet on the horrors of Propecia.
What’s funny is that Martha did not call Merck to seek comment.
I wonder if they will sue her.
Thanks so much for your continued awareness efforts, Paul.
Merck must be ruing the day you were born.
But that’s what they get for messing with a British police officer.
Just noticed there are 179 comments on the AlterNet story:

If you have not already done so, be sure to weigh in with the rest of the crowd.
Thanks.
Martha’s PFS story that originally ran in AlterNet is now running in Dissident Voice:

Best (and more truthful) line: “The rise and fall of Propecia parallels… drugs like Vioxx.”
Propecia hasn’t “fallen”. It’s not been withdrawn from sale. There are men who are about to take it whose lives are about to fall apart.
That’s true, but it is tainted – and will never likely be untainted. Rather, it will become increasingly infamous as the years go on.
