HISTORIC REASONS TO REJECT THE BASIS OF SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE

OPEN YOUR EYES

INTEGRITY FOR SALE :-

When results of genuine research do not fit the desired profile the negative effects are omitted by the drug company. Dr. Trevor Stammers seemed to have shown that fish oil could relieve osteoarthritis and Seven Seas paid for the research and were keen to have the results published in the Lancet. His later negative results were published but were completely omitted from the literature sent to GPs. Fisons in Cheshire were stated by the American FDA report to be conducting a "fraudulent analytical procedure " in testing asthma aerosols. One patient died after being injected with "IMFERON" and the batch that was more toxic than normal provoked allergic reactions in 3 pregnant women. An eye product was taken off the market because production standards did not meet standards of sterility. 

In 1996 2 doctors were struck off for fraudulent drug trial and the 'Lancet' admitted that one in 250 scientific papers contained fraudulent data. In March 1996 Dr. Fairhurst reported for falsifying drug records, forging patients signatures and using patients as guinea pigs in drug trials without their consent. In pursuit of profit the following shows that only public outcry after many deaths can cause the withdrawal of profitable drugs. In the 10 yrs from 1983 there have been a total death roll of over 1,700 people and recorded drug injury to over 30,000 people as below . What should be emphasised is that in each and every instance a drug company researched the product , a Medical Scientists body approved the results and a Doctor prescribed the substance.

In most cases the drug companies will have another similar "me too" drug licensed and ready take up the trail of profit (and damage) so that the smooth commercial operation is uninterrupted. 

HALCION the "better" sleeping pill has the side effect of turning some people into homicidal maniacs. When M/s Grundberg of Utah murdered her 83 yr old mother by firing 8 bullets into her head the pharmaceutical company Upjohn settled out of court for some millions of dollars to avoid adverse publicity depressing sales of 285 million dollars . But a Mrs Wancasser of Missouri killed her two sons and committed suicide ; an ex policeman William Freedman killed his best friend. All after being prescribed a 'better' sleeping pill. Human growth hormone extracted from pituitary glands was used to from 1959-85 to treat slow growth undersized children. Signs pointing to the bad effects of the treatment were ignored in the 70's. It can give rise to CREUTZFELD-JAKOB disease. 7 of the 1,900 patients have died of CJD and all are at risk. In Aug. 1990 Terry Newman had problems with his balance. 16 weeks later he had rapidly deteriorated into a human vegetable and died. He was 20 yrs old and had been treated with the growth hormone when young. It should be noted that CJD is a part of the phenomenology of AIDS and ARC and that the hormonal reactions of the body and are very poorly understood. They act through the lymph and blood systems both of which are deeply implicated in all symptoms of AIDS. It is therefore highly probable that hormonal treatments of all kinds can affect the immune system.
