Jon Rappoport's website, www.nomorefakenews.com is sometimes taken with a pinch of salt. But this investigative journalist often uncovers news of genuine concern. On June 28, 2012, he posted the article below about USA's Food and Drug Administration (FDA). I've edited it for this blog.
"The FDA is aware their approved medical drugs kill 100,000 Americans a year.
1. Some doctors who sit on FDA panels have financial ties to the very companies whose drugs they are okaying.
2. Drug companies run clinical trials of new drugs on humans before FDA approval can occur. And those clinical trials are written up and published in medical journals - giving credibility before FDA approval.
Studies claim drug after drug is safe. But the drugs kill 100,000 a year just in USA.
Conclusion? The published studies are fraudulent. Not just a few studies. Hundreds and thousands of them. The drug companies are providing studies that are outright criminal lies.
"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgement of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine." Marcia Angell, MD, "Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of corruption." NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009.
Mainstream medical advocates attack so-called alternative or natural health, and mention their profession is real science. One doctor said, "Published peer-reviewed studies keep us from going back to the Stone Age." He was dead wrong. The science is a sham, it's in tatters, it's broken, crushed, smashed.
Here is more evidence.
"Flu Warning: Beware the Drug Companies. Six years ago, John Ioannidis, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Ioannina School of Medicine in Greece, found that nearly half of published articles in scientific journals contained findings that were false." NY Review of Books (May 12, 2011) by Helen Epstein
Don't ever let a doctor tell you there's no adequate evidence for complementary and alternative medicine - when almost 50% of their medical research is false!
