Does Your Baby Need Baby Wash?
submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013
I never cease to be amazed at the lack of ethics of the pharmaceutical companies and much of the rest of the medical industry. Making a profit is clearly the major objective; service is often merely a convenience. Johnson and Johnson (J & J) are not an exception.
In the February 2013 issue of the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neonatal...
Don't Underestimate the Power of Big Pharma
submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013
Merck Pharmaceuticals murdered 50,000 people by causing heart attacks and strokes from their drug, Vioxx, that they knew would cause these problems, yet they still withheld this information from the FDA and the general public. Merck's internal records that we supoened under the Freedom of Information Act dislosed that they were aware of these problems...
Dr. Saputo Radio, Cutting Through the Confusion About Ebola
submitted by: admin on 10/18/2014
Dr. Len and nurse Vicki break down the real facts about Ebola in this 20 minute radio show!
Why has Ebola attracted international attention that is freaking out millions of people around the world? Is there an actual pandemic? True enough that there have been more deaths this year than combined since 1976, and that has people worried. However,...
Drug Company Kickbacks to Doctors and Pharmacists
submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013
The US government is filing a law suit against the drug company, Novartis, for giving $65 million kickbacks to physicians and pharmacists to prescribe Lotrel, Valturna, Starlix, and Myfortis over the past decade. These kickbacks were in the form of dinners at high end restaurants, cash, rebates, and discounts.
One extreme example is from...
Drug Side Effect Disclosures From Our MDs
submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013
MDs do not discuss all the side effects of medications; there is simply not enough time and they are trained to recommend drugs as the primary treatment for illness. And, Big Pharma does not disclose all side effects.
Drugs Make Some Depressed People Worse
submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013
Up to a fifth of patients on SSRI antidepressants do worse than with placebo. There is no way to tell who will do worse. It is interesting that no comparison was made with exercise and no credit was given to placebo in this big pharma sponsored study published in Archives of Psychiatry in December of 2011. Little mention was made of the side effects such as GI...

The American Geriatrics Society proclaimed that these...
Ductal Carcinoma in situ: Cancer or Benign?
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Between 30 and 50% of new breast cancer diagnoses are found on mammography screenings and are classified as ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS. Most of these "cancers" are not cancer at all. In fact about 97% are benign lesions that can be followed over time quite safely. Most cases of DCIS would be better off under-diagnosed and under-treated.
Unfortunately,...
Ebola Cure Suppressed with Robert Rowen, MD
submitted by: admin on 03/12/2020
Ebola has been all over the global news for months. The disease is extremely lethal and conventional treatments are ineffective. Research in the form of clinical trials are being conducted for vaccines and drugs. Despite the fact that Dr. Robert Rowen was invited by the Sierra Leone government to teach their MDs about ozone treatment for Ebola and it was enthusiastically...
Excessive Usage of Health Care
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Health care costs are no longer affordable. We have a model based on getting sick rather than on staying well. This is a failed system: half of us have a chronic disease, the system is not safe, and we cannot afford to sustain it.
Existential Anxt with Robert Kull
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
The feeling of being a speck in an uncaring universe occurs when we�re alone. Wind was a metaphor for being at risk for Bob in his experiences in remote Chile. Surrender made it possible to exist in harmony with the wind.

Fast Tracking Big Pharma's Drugs
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Certain drugs should be made available as soon as possible. However, generally this approach leads to a conflict of interest between the FDA and Big Pharma that brings drugs to market much easier.
Father's Obesity Affects Sperm DNA for Two Generations
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
An article published in FASEB Journal showed that obesity in fathers changed the DNA in their sperm so as to put future generations at risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes even if they consumed a healthy diet. This change developed whether or not the obese father had signs of type 2 diabetes or the metabolic syndrome.
We've long known that...
FDA Considering Prescription Drugs Without a Prescription
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
The FDA is considering offering many prescription drugs without a prescription at pharmacies where a few questions would be asked and medicine dispensed like through a vending machine! Most insurances would not be required to pay for such costs and patients would be largely on their own to determine the need and safety of their purchases.
While...
FDA May Allow More Drugs Over-the-Counter
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
The FDA is considering allowing more drugs to become over-the-counter as their patents run out. This, of course, would make it possible for Big Pharma to make greater profits. However, there are serious challenges related to safety in using drugs such as statins and drugs for type 2 diabetes that would emerge. Most people are not sufficiently educated...
FDA Stalls on Evaluating Avandia
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Even though Avandia increases both heart attacks and heart deaths the FDA has been lax in dealing with this problem. The incestuous relationship between the FDA and Big Pharma is disclosed.
FDA: Good or Bad?
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
Can we trust the FDA to protect us from Big Pharma and from the supplement industry? Fast tracking drugs has plusses and minuses. Should patients have the choice of trying drugs that are not yet on the market? Can we trust the drugs that are on the market that don't do that much? How much do conflicts of interest come into play?
Ghost Writing for Medical Journal Articles
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Good research is often misrepresented by Big Pharma writers who skew the data to support positive outcomes. They hire ghost writers for this specific purpose. The business of Big Pharma takes precedence over integrity & service.
Harmony, Health, and Beauty, Colette DeVore, LAC
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
If your mind and body are in harmony with your spirit, love is present. With love comes health and beauty. We get out of harmony because of our fears. Beauty is not just skin deep. Chinese medicine can harmonize this process.
