It almost makes me want to come off of everything and just see how much I can handle. Not necessarily the smart thing to do, but it was just a thought.
Timely article.
Hereis just one quote from it:
"There can be no excuses from the pharmaceutical industry,” said Paul Farmer, chief executive of Mind, a health charity in England and Wales, in a statement. “The public must be able to have trust and confidence in the medicines they are taking. We need to be sure that the tragedies associated with Seroxat can never happen again. The best way to achieve this is for drug companies to publish all clinical trials data, making it available for scrutiny and review, and to inform prescribing decisions.”
You might be surprised at just what little adverse findings are revealed about their drugs.
Clinical trials-find out who sponsored them. Usually it's a drug company. You really need to be very cynical.
Mike More in Sicko rolled his eyes and laughed ironically in Sicko when the topic of pharmaceutical companies came up, indicating where a huge problem lies. Let's hope he tackles them next.
