submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
Yale School of Medicine researchers found a clinical trial with neurontin was a seeding trial used by Big Pharma to promote the drug and increase prescriptions.

These people gained nothing for...
Excessive Usage of Health Care
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024

FDA Supplement Regulation
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024

Is Medicine Good Science?
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
It is assumed that medical research and practice are basesd on good science? Studies in major peer reviewed journals report that about 15% of medicine is based on solid science.
