I keep getting told woo is "harmless..."

[Big Blue Marble]

114. Have you any idea how manipulated drug trials are?

How the trials that go the wrong way are hidden as well as many adverse reactions
are hidden from the FDA? Do you know that the FDA is bought and paid for by big
Pharma and that the streamlined approval process means that many of the clinical
trials are in the field?

Do you know that doctors are often misinformed by by drug reps who encourage them
to prescribe off-label for conditions where no clinical trials exist? Do you know that
most of drug trials are off shore in third world countries with populations that bear
little similarity to those who will actually take the drugs and where regulations are
very loose?

It is Big Pharma who on the Big Board raking in the the multi-billions in profits.

"The study estimating that 100,000 Americans die each year from their prescriptions looked only at deaths from known side effects. That is, those deaths didn’t happen because the doctor made a mistake and prescribed the wrong drug, or the pharmacist made a mistake in filling the prescription, or the patient accidentally took too much. Unfortunately, thousands of patients die from such mistakes too, but this study looked only at deaths where our present medical system wouldn’t fault anyone. Tens of thousands of people are dying every year from drugs they took just as the doctor directed. This shows you how dangerous medications are."

Gosh could you name the 'big alternative medicine people and show me the financial
reports showing their billions in profits?
