DR. DONALD MARKS:
Dr. Donald H. Marks is a former associate director of clinical research at Roche. Marks left the company in 1991 to take a directorship position with another company and this is what he has to say regarding Lariam (Mefloquine) and his former employer, Roche:
“Roche has developed an attitude of not adjusting the information it supplies to physicians and patients about the performance and safety characteristics of their drugs.” Marks went on to say that there is “ample reason” to believe Lariam causes suicide. Marks said Lariam can cause “spontaneous neurological activity” and “irritation of certain sensitive areas inside the brain” that could lead to suicidal behavior long after someone stops taking it.
DR. REMINGTON NEVIN:
Dr. Remington Nevin is an epidemiologist and former US Army major.
Regarding research on Lariam, Dr. Nevin states, “These figures are consistent with Lariam causing symptoms of mental illness including anxiety and depression, and are also consistent with the known association of these conditions with a strongly increased risk of suicide. As a result of its toxic effects, the drug is quickly becoming the “Agent Orange” of this generation, linked to a growing list of lasting neurological and psychiatric problems including suicide.” Dr. Nevin describes Lariam as “a horror movie in a pill.”
DR. ELSPETH RITCHIE:
Dr. Ritchie is a former US Army medical doctor and she states that the side effects of Lariam are actually worse than contracting malaria. Dr. Ritchie says that “Aviators are barred from taking Lariam. If Aviators are barred someone who drives a tank and shoots a gun should be precluded too.”
LIEUTENANT COLONEL ASHLEY CROFT:
In 2011, Lieutenant Colonel Ashley Croft a senior medical officer who spent more than 25 years serving the MoD in the Royal Army Medical Corp and who is an expert on malaria said, “For the past 12 years I was saying this is potentially a dangerous drug—most people can take it without problems but a few people will experience difficulties and of those a small number will become psychotic and because there are other alternatives that are safer and just as effective we should move to them but my words fell on deaf ears. The problem is that it can make people have psychotic thoughts and therefore act in an irrational manner and potentially a manner that is dangerous to themselves or their colleagues, or civilians.” Doxycycline and malarone are safer drugs which are as effective in preventing malaria, according to the retired officer. “Really the only people that get it [Lariam] now are the poor old soldiers and they have no choice.”
US SPECIAL FORCES COMMAND:
An order issued in 2011 by the US Special Forces Command states: “medical personnel will immediately cease the prescribing and use of mefloquine for malaria prophylaxis. Hallucinations and psychotic behavior can occur and continue for months or years after mefloquine use; cases of suicidal ideation and suicide have been reported.”
GUANTANAMO BAY INMATES:
Guantanamo inmates were given 750 milligrams of Mefloquine within the first 12 hours of arrival and another 500 milligrams within the following 12 hours as standard protocol. This despite the fact that Guantanamo and Cuba are malaria-free and none of the inmates were pre-tested for malaria. The Seton Hall School of Law, through repeated FOIA requests has uncovered the use of Mefloquine at Guantanamo Bay as a torture device—the suicide pill. Three inmates committed suicide on the same day ...
