So do we have to do it one country at a time?

Canadian Government suddenly remembers to govern

….”Patients, healthcare professionals and the public will now be able to find information on Health Canada's website about drug clinical trials involving patients…. The database is mandatory for industry - it will be maintained and updated by Health Canada to include information about all phase I, II, and III clinical trials in patients that it has reviewed and authorized since April 1, 2013. Providing access to a central database of clinical trials is an initial step that will help fill an existing information gap as the government works to further increase transparency around clinical trials….”

…”Since research involving male subjects cannot always be relied on to show how women will respond to the same treatment, Health Canada is also updating guidance on sex differences in clinical trials. This will support the optimal use of therapeutic products in both women and men… These new documents, Considerations for Inclusion of Women in Clinical Trials and Analysis of Sex Differences and Guidance for Clinical Trial Sponsors are available by request from Health Canada's website.

Note: Good because mandatory for ALL clinical trials, and the general public have access to it.

Still weak, because it is for all trials after April 1, 2013; and it is not retroactive; it has to be made retroactive because 80% of prescriptions are for drugs that have been on the market for 10 years or more.

Good because recognizes the possibility that women and men react differently to treatment. Still weak in that there are many other differences among patients; that the one-pill-suits-all paradigm that worked so well for the mass production of Model T Fords may not work so well for medical health; assembly-line efficiency is thwarted by Parkies being wildly individualistic.

Given the industry-wide collusion in covering up the truth, what can we do to have experts go through the trials on all Parkinson’s drugs since sinemet? What do they know, and hide, about Mirapex? Selegilene? Levo-carbo Controlled Release? Generics? D.B.S.? And any other treatment for PD? Are we lucky and we dodged the bullet?

Are Parkinson’s medications caught up in the felony crimes of dishonest medical research?

We have the right to know.

Because our lives are at stake.
