Lenny,
I just got
information from Scott about” the lost letters”, and he has now got the two
doctoral dissertations and some more data – and given it to you. I was happy to
hear that.
I send you in
this mail a summary of my work the last weeks, and there are some real good
news. I used to be a journalist and I like
to combine journalist and science.
I also will
send you tonight a few tweets and some important text. And some god pictures-Look
forward hearing from you.
Regards Ulf

It is very important to know when
the FDA director Andrew von Eisenbach know
about our research and what he knew,
and studying the FDA Docket 2006-0090 I can answer that question, it was in
September 2006. He knew or should have
known about our research and the letter I wrote to this docket since 2006, more
than eleven years. My letters are on the
docket. (FDA Docket 2006P-0090).
In another letter on the Docket I
raised three questions to the FDA commissioner, the letter was addressed to
James R Hunter about permission to publish our letter:
The first goal was to get the information known to the director of FDA
and his collaborators.
The second goal was to inform the pharmacies that still are
manufacturing and selling those products, Eli Lilly. They do make lots of money
– but primary they cause thousands of new fatal poisonings in USA.
The third goal is to inform the people in your country – through all
kinds of media – that no drug whatsoever has caused so many fatal poisonings as
propoxyphene has done.
On Nov 26th the former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said in Meet the press:
“Trump, not Weinstein, prompted flood of sexual misconduct claims”. I will use
the same
metaphor. It was not Hydrocodone, Oxycodone or
heroin that shaped the opioid crisis of
today. It was the substance (Dextro)(Propoxyphene (DXP) that was
synthesized 1953 by Eli Lilly who did it. The substance was approved by FDA
1957 and came out on came out on the market and became immediately very
popular. First consumption data for Hydrocodone and Oxycodone are 1999. We have
data on the consumption of DXP since 1980. (Data
from INCB (WHO)
How
come that the authorities in US have a forensic medicine system that is not
working so well all times. In Sweden we have an overall legislation for all
disciplines related to forensic appetite in autopsies, while US you have two different
systems The Medical Examiner and The Coroner System. Some decisions must
be taken at county level, there are
around 3 150 counties in US. We have special-studied these two systems, the
Medical Examiners in Florida (FDLE)
and the Coroner System in Los
Angeles County and therefore we know
the differences between the two systems. (FDLE and Los Angeles County) - and we
are able to compare these data with the Swedish data.
Our
two dissertations (Year 2000 at the University of Uppsala at the Department
of Forensic Medicine for Birgitta) and 2001 at the Nordic School of public health in Gothenburg for Ulf. There
have been lots of reports from different authorities in US and they present
some data, some opioids but not DXP. Therefor the American authorities do not find any victims that have the
substance Propoxyphene in their
bodies when they have died. We have studied these questions and have very good
data – as a matter of fact unique data - from
2001- 2010 We have analyzed these data from different point of views.
There
is one well known painkiller in the US that is banned, and has been since November 19th 2010. US has the highest consumption of opioids –
around 80% and US population is around 5 % - in the world. We think this has
been a night-mare for the American people since the late 50th.
