submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Americans last year got access to 24 new medications before they became available in Europe.

This sets up a serious conflict of interest for the FDA that makes them beholden to Big Pharma's wishes.
Far too many look alike drugs are...

submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
We are guinea pigs whenever a new drug comes onto the market. This is especially true for drugs that are "fast tracked" through the FDA. Post approval clinical trials are required in this setting by the FDA from big pharma, but often they are not done. Older drugs that have been on the market for decades are generally better tested and safer.

Why Belly Fat is not All Bad
submitted by: admin on 11/27/2013
When I was in medical school the omentum, that fatty membrane in the abdomen that covers the abdominal cavity and its organs, was believed to be no more than a repository for fat. Today researchers have discovered that it is a organ that regulates immune T cells and is a rich repository of stem cells that are necessary for organ repair and regeneration. It may...
