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.

submitted by: admin on 06/24/2016

submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) is grading med schools on their ability to block Big Pharma representatives from bribing them with meals, gifts, free drug samples, and industry funded education. Only two medical schools had a perfect scorecard. Of the 152 med schools, only 105 received a grade of A or B. This was up from 2008 when only...

Methyl Jasmonate as a Treatment for Cancer
submitted by: admin on 06/24/2016
Methyl jasmonate is a plant hormone that is able to disrupt the mitochondria of cancer cells, but not normal cells. This would add to the abilitiy of cancer cells to produce energy and perhaps help destroy cancer cells. We clearly need more research on this inexpensive and readily available treatment.

Off label Prescription Drug Usage
submitted by: admin on 04/19/2024
Off label use of a drug is when an approved drug is used for an unapproved use. This accounts for about 20% of all prescriptions. Drug companies are forbidden to advertize for off label uses. They are also disinclined to do research for these unapproved uses because they have little to gain from a study if the drug is already being used.

This program includes: Funding exercise programs both nationally and locally and in every academic...
Should Medical Research Forego Placebo Testing?
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
The results of a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial re-opened debate on whether it is ethical to conduct placebo-controlled studies because it puts those in the placebo group at the disadvantage of not being in the treatment arm. One could make the point that placebo is not really necessary because all that needs to be done is to see if patients...

The reason for research today is about creating income, social status, or imporance rather than publishing truth and facts. The bulk of research is funded by big pharma, not NIH. The history of research is corrupt and biased. The collusion between FDA, Congress, big pharma and...
