leave a comment

Don’t worry, Be happy. According to David Wong the work which led to the discovery of fluoxetine (aka Prozac) began at Eli Lilly in 1970 as a collaboration between Bryan Molloy and Robert Rathburn. It was known at that time that antihistamine diphenhydramine shows some antidepressant-like properties. Testing the physiological effects of these compounds at least 27 deaths had been linked to Prozac’s use before the drug was released. One of the documents shows that as of October 15, 1987, two months before Prozac was allowed on the market, there had already been 15 suicides linked to it – six by overdose, four by gunshot, three by hanging and two by drowning.

Don’t worry, Be happy. Despite the startling information about these 27 fatalities – FDA officials failed to prevent Prozac from being released. PROZAC was initially approved for treatment of depression in Belgium in 1986 and on December 29, 1987 in the United States. Since then, it has been approved and marketed in more than 90 countries and used by more than 54 million people worldwide.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Don’t Worry, Be Happy” is the title and famous principal lyric of a song by popular musician Bobby McFerrin, the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, holding that position for two weeks in September of 1988. At the 1989 Grammy Awards, “Don’t Worry Be Happy” won ‘Best Song of the Year’. The song’s title is taken from a famous quote by Meher Baba.

A tiger adopt little pigs

leave a comment

Tiger

In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother’s cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only “orphans” that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops??
