Quotes
"Did you know that the research information contained in the Physicians' Desk
Reference the pharmaceutical bible used by M.D.s is supplied by the drug
manufacturers themselves? Did you know that the FDA approves drugs not by
actually doing the testing, but simply by reviewing studies submitted by the
drug manufacturers? Did you know that a drug manufacturer needs to submit only
two studies showing satisfactory results to get a drug approved by the FDA even
if there are even more studies showing the drug causes adverse reactions in an
unacceptably high number of cases?
Did you know that most of the articles discussing the efficacy of drugs that
are published in medical journals are studies paid for by the drug manufacturer?
And that often, as the New York Times reported last summer, the academic
scientists listed as lead authors are often just "window dressing, to lend
credibility to papers that are really the work of drug companies. The academic
scientists' main role in such studies is to recruit patients and administer
experimental treatments. The scientists or their universities are paid for this
work."
And did you know that a study conducted by USA Today found that more than
half of the experts hired to advise the government on the safety and
effectiveness of medicine had a direct financial interest in the drug or topic
were asked to evaluate?"----Burton Goldberg
