Should Big Pharma be Protected Against Law Suits for Unlabeled Side Effects?
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
In 2011 there was a US Supreme Court ruling that pharmaceutical companies making drugs during the life of their patent are liable for inadequate safety warnings on the label of the drug. In June of 2013 the same court ruled that generic drug producers were NOT liable for law suits related to adverse drug reactions not printed on the label so long as...
Should MDs be Paid for Performance?
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Pay-for-performance schemes financially reward MDs for hitting special numerical targets such as hospital stay, readmissions, use of certain drugs, and cost controls. An article in the August issue of the British Medical Journal take the position that pay-for-performance will do more harm than good by changing the mindset of the physician. The Accountable Care...
Should Medical Journals Release Articles to the Public?
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Our taxes pay for NIH's research, so what is published is really our property. Why then should we have to pay for access to this information. The conflicts of interest between medical journals and NIH are discussed.
Should You Take the Swine Flu Vaccine?
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
This vaccine is a scam. The data supporting its value is non-existent and the risk for side effects untested. There are no studies proving its effectiveness and the illness is less dangerous than the regular flu.
Suddenly Sick Syndrome
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
Big pharma redefines the criteria for disease to make more people "sick" and sell more drugs for these conditions. Pre-hypertension, pre-osteoporosis (osteopenia), and pre-obesity are examples. How this happens is described. This creates the "worried well!"
Super Natural Home with Beth Greer Part III
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
The FDA does not regulate skin care products. Cosmetic companies have an association that is supposed to monitor the ingredients that are put on our skin, but there is a conflict of interest that corrupts its regulation. Women use between 15 and 25 products every day! Most department store brands are toxic and unsafe to put on our bodies. Natural organic skin...
The ALLHAT Study on Hypertension, Diuretics, and Lifestyle
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
The largest study ever done on how we should treat hypertension showed that thiazide diuretics and lifestyle are what was recommended. It exposes the mercenary nature of big pharma in promoting their new designer drugs that work no better than older approaches that are cheap.

The Hydroxychloroquine Scandal
Dr. Len shares the scandal originally published by Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, and The Guardian, on the hydroxychloroquine articles published in the Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine on May 22, 2020. These "prestigious" medical journals published articles with data on 96,000 patients hospitalized from...
The Saftey of Newly Approved Drugs
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.
What Does it Really Mean to Stand Up to Cancer
submitted by: admin on 09/10/2014
The widely viewed national television show, Stand Up to Cancer, that aired on September 5, 2014 featured dozens of movie stars and comedians, and was hosted by Katie Couric. It was entertaining and fun for sure. However, it was sponsored by many pharmaceutical companies...can you imagine why? Hmmm, let me see...it was one giant ad for treating cancer with chemotherapy,...
When is it Important to Take Your Medicine?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
The AMA reports that noncompliance with regard to prescription medication is the cause of excessive hospitalization, morbidity, mortality, and overall healthcare costs. The article fails to address those patients who suffer from adverse drug events and their related costs. They state that health costs go up about $300 billion annually because of drug noncompliance,...
Why Medicine is Not So Evidenced Based with Beverly Rubik
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Today's medicine gives the illusion that it is evidence-based. Self healing through placebo is subtracted from the effect of our treatments. Healing is a multifactorial process that is far more than using drugs, technology, and surgery. There are conflicts of interest, fabrication of data, fraudulent inclusion of popular names on papers that they...
Why You Should Not Get a Screening Mammogram at Any Age
submitted by: admin on 02/24/2014
The conclusion of a 25 year prospective study published in the British Medical Journal in February of 2014 was that screening mammograms not only do not save lives but also lead to a 22% over-diagnosis that leads to unnecessary testing and treatment in women between the ages of 50 and 69.
After all these years of policy set by governments, research...
