Question
An interesting article. But I don't think that they are all fraudulent. It probably depends on which trial they are doing as to what is in the Placebo??? I don't believe the placebos for CMT are fraudulent. JMO There are so very many trials out there for everything it seems.

It is an interesting article though and thanks for posting it.

Two major blockbuster drugs...have studies out there showing equal to placebo: Claritin and Prozac.

It is a huge issue. All this money being spent, and other more necessary drugs falling thru the cracks, unavailable for legit treatments.

There is so much fraud now in Big Pharma it is difficult to even see the truth sometimes!

I think it is another instance of someone creating controversy to increase their self worth. It is most likely nothing more than 'noise'.

Default And there is --
no cure/treatment or anything for CMT. Hopefully, the trials that are going on will produce something.
