The PolyPill: Can It Be Resurrected?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
The polypill is a brainstorm of the pharmaceutical companies to create a combination of drugs to make it convenient to take multiple medications. However, their real motive is to sell as much drug as possible. Consequently, they have done research under the guise of convenience but with the hope that they can convince the public and the medical profession to...
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.
The Tamiflu Deception
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Roche pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Tamiflu, has refused for 3 years to release key data from their Tamiflu research trial that "justifies" its use in influenza to the prestigious Cochrane Review. What are they trying to hide? Why has the FDA, CDC, and WHO endorsed using Tamiflu within the first 48 hours of symptoms of the flu when...

THE TRAGEDY OF AMERICAN HEALTHCARE
Len Saputo, MD
Introduction: The New Terrain of American Health Care
Over the past 25 years the practice of medicine has become a business, physicians have become employees, and patients have become commodities. Healthcare has become more standardized and doctors have been taught to treat “sets...
The True Role of Antidepressants in Healthcare with Meg Jordan, PhD, RN
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
SSRIs have been shown to be no better than placebo in a large metaanalysis. Psychiatry has taken a huge step backwards by turning to psychopharmacology. Treating symptoms rather than looking at the deeper causes of depression is naive except in rare occasions. Placebo is a powerful tool that evolkes the neurobiology of the body.

The War Against Cancer, How Are We Doing?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Clearly, we're losing the "war against cancer." The incidence of cancer and survival has not changed significantly in the past several decades until we stopped the ubiquitous use of HRT. Environmental pollution, lifestyle, and genetics together have a lot to do with one's risk of cancer. We should be working on prevention rather than curing...

US Health Care is Seriously Lacking
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
US health care performance is much worse than most countries; we're ranked by the WHO number 37 in the world in overall quality of health care. We spend nearly twice of any other country and yet our effectiveness is a disaster. When business trumps service, this is what happens. Universal health care is good for health care but not good for business...
What Attracts Men and Women
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Attractions are made between the first 3 seconds. Appearance is what makes the initial attraction. Personality and common interests have a lot to do with what makes a relationship work. When there is conflict it leads to poor health.
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,...
What is Bankrupting US Healthcare?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
According to an article in Life Extension published in April of 2012, there are three factors responsible for the fiscal insolvency of the US healthcare system; skyrocketing drug prices, reactive medicine, and FDA corruption. Big Pharma protects its expiring patents by filing frivolous law suits against companies making generic drugs. These costs are...
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,...
Who Says There's no Money in Making Vaccines?
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
Vaccine manufacturers get billions of dollars in government contracts every year. In 2011 the top six vaccine makers received $5.7 billion from these contracts. Children who cannot afford the cost of vaccines are given free immunizations through the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC). This is often considered to be indisputable proof of kindness on...
Who Should Fund Medical Research?
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
The December 12, 2012 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association published an article by two Johns Hopkins Medical Center staff stating that there is a crisis because medical research is becoming too expensive, big pharma will need to cut back on funding this research, and they anticipate cuts in federal research funding this next year.

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 we cannot trust the FDA
submitted by: admin on 01/09/2014
A special editorial written by Donald Wright from Harvard University and published in the Journal of Law, Medicine, and Ethics pointed out that 90% of all new drugs approved by the FDA over the past 30 years are little or no more effective than drugs that are already on the market! They also commented that the safety of new FDA approved drugs is low....
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...
Wyeth's Ghost Writers for HRT Studies
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Ghost writing is common in medical research. Big pharma employs writers who excel at making the conclusions it needs to sell a drug. Researchers are requested to put their name on editorial reviews written by ghost writers. This lengthens resumes but also sells drugs. The ethics of this are reviewed and the emphasis on greed, corruption, conflicts of interest...
