About Medical and Health Science 1

"“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”  – Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world. (source)"    And, "It’s time to examine the research that’s being conducted all over the world, from experts (scientists) at various institutions, that is not sponsored by these giant, multinational “health” corporations – the independent literature. Brilliant work is being published regarding various drugs, cures, treatments, vaccines, and more.  “The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.” – Arnold Seymour Relman (1923-2014), Harvard Professor of Medicine and Former Editor-in-Chief of the New England Medical Journal (source)(source)"     https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/05/no_author/pfizer-vp-comes-clean/

This physicist lambastes the purveyors of dangerous junk science.  Quote: "Junk science is the bad science that drives good science out of circulation. My opinion is that to successfully combat junk science it is necessary to lower the public reputation of science in general. If people are skeptical of all scientific claims junk science will not be able to thrive. Yes, legitimate scientific information might be discounted, but it is much more doable task to support good science than it is to discredit the vast flow of junk science. It would help if we could trust government agencies tasked with the evaluation of dangers to public health. Unfortunately, politics rules and politics dances to the tune of junk science. Thus we have the EPA joining the Sierra Club in the war against coal by setting standards for mercury and other emissions designed to destroy coal-generated electricity. The motivation, of course, is to reduce CO2 emissions in order to prevent the imaginary global warming."     http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/04/fighting_junk_science.html

This is a travesty being inflicted on our nation, but mostly our children.  Quote: "This is what transgenderism and "biological subjectivism" has come to in America today... a politically correct demand that everyone agree to participate in the mental distortions of a few individuals who suffer from a psychological disconnect from their biological realities. Such ideologies stand in complete contradiction to the known science on biology and physical reality, and sadly, this mental distortion is now being thrust onto children as part of a sick, demented political agenda to appease the most lunatic fringe elements of the political spectrum.  That agenda now demands that public schools be turned into transgender child factories, churning out confused, suicidal children who are physically and chemically mutilated by a society that applauds them for denying their biological reality. This entire agenda, now being waged against the children of America by politically motivated cultural arsonists, is nothing less than a crime against children."    http://www.naturalnews.com/054053_transgenderism_gender_confused_children_mental_health.html

Some scientists may be onto something dangerous/unethical.  Quote: "Scientists are now contemplating the fabrication of a human genome, meaning they would use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA contained in human chromosomes.  The prospect is spurring both intrigue and concern in the life sciences community because it might be possible, such as through cloning, to use a synthetic genome to create human beings without biological parents. While the project is still in the idea phase, and also involves efforts to improve DNA synthesis in general, it was discussed at a closed-door meeting on Tuesday at Harvard Medical School in Boston. The nearly 150 attendees were told not to contact the news media or to post on Twitter during the meeting."   http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/nihilism-scientists-human-genome-walker-percy/   Given the overwhelming evidence that some within the modern world of science are dishonest and unethical, we should be concerned with what they are up to.

Ask yourself who are these people looking after, the people they supposedly care about or their own bottom line.  Fair is fair and profit is okay but total and absolute control is a bit much. Quote: "Patent reform is back on the docket. And just as bedbugs are drawn to a warm body, so now are special interests doing their best to latch onto the proposed reforms and drain them of their substance.  In the case of patent reform, the biggest, fattest bloodsucker of them all is none other than the architects of Obamacare itself, Big Pharma. Specifically, Big Pharma has been trying to talk down a procedure that has been in place in patent law since 2012: a process known as the Inter Partes Review (IPR), from which they want Congress to exempt their patents." And, "So why is Pharma so scared of the IPR process? Probably because, while literally every single one of their patents has survived an IPR challenge when first issued, their constant practice of trying to modify patents ever so slightly in order to extend their shelf life (or “evergreening,” as some call it) sometimes gets them in hot water. In other words, pharma is trying to pull the wool over consumers’ eyes in order to keep their monopolies on certain drugs longer than they should be able to, and the PTAB is calling BS on their fraudulent claims to government-sponsored monopoly. Last I checked, government-sponsored monopoly is a form of corporate welfare, and that’s not exactly a conservative idea."  http://spectator.org/articles/65977/down-big-pharma   If big pharma gets their way, it will be nothing more than a deal where the government rewards a huge crony capitalist friend of theirs.  In that case big pharma wins and the consuming public gets screwed yet again. 

This is a profile of corruption in the FDA.  Quote: "The former head of the FDA, Margaret Hamburg, used the federal agency to run a massive conspiracy of racketeering and fraud in order to generate millions of dollars in drug company profits for her husband's hedge fund firm, alleges a damning lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.  The lawsuit alleges that while acting as FDA commissioner, Margaret Hamburg engaged in a wide-ranging conspiracy to approve an extremely dangerous drug known to cause severe (and even deadly) side effects, in order to financially benefit her husband's hedge fund which held very large financial positions in Johnson & Johnson, makers of the drug. "Defendants, each and every one of them, operated a criminal conspiracy at least between the years 2009 to 2015 to fraudulently suppress warnings about the devastating effects of Levaquin," says the complaint.  "This Amended Complaint sets forth allegations that involve a conspiracy by Defendants, each and every one of them, to reap large financial returns by failing to disclose to Plaintiffs and the public at large the full extent of the devastating, life-threatening, and deadly effects of a highly dangerous pharmaceutical drug named Levaquin," reads the opening of the lawsuit. The conspiracy complaint also alleges that over 5,000 people died as a result of Hamburg's conspiracy cover-up at the FDA."     http://www.naturalnews.com/053767_Margaret_Hamburg_FDA_commissioner_conspiracy_and_racketeering.html

Studies now show that Statin drugs are unsafe. Quote: "Odds are your doctor hassled you about getting on a statin drug yourself, either for prevention or for “high” cholesterol. But according to a report in the British Medical Journal by Sidney Wolfe, founder and senior adviser to the Health Research Group at Public Citizen, research into the benefits of rosuvastatin has never turned up reliable evidence that it significantly helps your heart health. There is however a substantial and increasing collection of studies showing that the drug is seriously risky and can cause damaging side effects."    http://easyhealthoptions.com/overcome-heart-dangers-without-dangerous-heart-drugs/

The FDA is our health care nannie.  We cannot consume anything they do not want us to yet they want to force us to take medications and endure vaccines they want us to take.  Is that their job?  Have we no right to decide such things for ourselves or our families?  Where in the Constitution does it say they have that authority?  I thought so.  It is nowhere to be found.  They do not have that right.  They just stole them from us.     http://townhall.com/columnists/kevinglass/2016/05/07/fda-neoprohibitionists-dont-care-about-your-health-n2159448?

We all need to be wary of anything the FDA says is safe.  Here's why.  Quote: "The FDA speaks for the pharmaceutical industry. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It might be tempting to say the FDA is careless, is overlooking important factors—but it’s much, much worse than that. Here are excerpts from a 2012 piece of mine about an FDA drug reviewer, and what happened to him when he went against the grain, and opposed his bosses on judgments about what was safe medicine and what was dangerous medicine:

—In a stunning interview with Truthout’s Martha Rosenberg, former FDA drug reviewer, Ronald Kavanagh, exposes the FDA as a relentless criminal mafia protecting its client, Big Pharma, with a host of mob strategies (“Former FDA Reviewer Speaks Out About Intimidation, Retaliation and Marginalizing of Safety,” 7/29/2012).  Kavanagh: “…widespread [FDA] racketeering, including witness tampering and witness retaliation.”  “I was threatened with prison.” “One [FDA] manager threatened my children…I was afraid that I could be killed for talking to Congress and criminal investigators.”   https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/05/07/vaccines-the-new-government-attack-on-pregnant-women/

This should disturb everyone.  Medical errors are now the 3rd leading cause of death.  Quote: "A study published in the prominent medical journal BMJ concluded that errors by doctors and hospitals kills more than 250,000 people a year in the US. That's more than strokes, respiratory disease, and Alzheimers."  And, "This is unacceptable. Ten percent of deaths in the US are due to doctor and hospital mistakes - errors that could be avoided with a change in procedure and protocols?  No wonder health care costs are through the roof. This kind of negligence results in lawsuits that increases the cost of liability insurance that affects the fee for service pricing most doctors and hospitals use."    http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/05/medical_errors_now_the_3rd_leading_cause_of_death_in_the_us.html   More,  http://www.newsmax.com/Health/Health-News/medical-errors-third-deaths/2016/05/04/id/727137/?   And more, http://easyhealthoptions.com/when-medical-care-kills-you/

This is something that should disturb you.  Heed the suggestions provided to protect yourself.  Quote: "Hospitals are typically thought of as places where lives are saved, but statistics show they’re actually one of the most dangerous places you could possibly frequent.^1,2  Each day, more than 40,000 harmful and/or lethal medical errors occur, placing the patient in a worse situation than what they came in with.³  According to a 2013 study,^4,5 preventable medical errors kill around 440,000 patients each year—that’s more than 10 times the number of deaths caused by motor vehicle crashes! Hospitals have become particularly notorious for spreading lethal infections.  According to 2014 statistics^6,7 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 25 patients end up with a hospital-acquired infection. In 2011 alone, 75,000 people died as a result.⁸  Medicare patients may be at even greater risk. According to the 2011 Health Grades Hospital Quality in America Study,⁹ 1 in 9 Medicare patients developed a hospital-acquired infection."     http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/04/05/hospital-stay.aspx

Government and its big crony capitalists food industry partners actively censor anything they can that details the goodness and health benefits of alternatives to their food industry products.  Quote: "What are the supporters of the government’s “US Dietary Guidelines for Americans” afraid of?  Last week, investigative journalist and author Nina Teicholz was disinvited from participating in a panel discussion at the Consumer Federation of America’s National Food Policy Conference. Other panelists reportedly said that they would not participate with her, and got the organizers of the conference to rescind Teicholz’s invitation.  Why did this happen? A few background details are necessary to explain why this episode typifies how Big Food works in sneaky ways to silence dissent from the established orthodoxy.  In 2014, Teicholz published a book, The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat, and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, which received widespread acclaim. It outlined the now-well-documented myths of low-fat diets and described the science behind the benefits of saturated fats—facts that go against the grain of the mainstream, which continues to stand behind directives to decrease fat consumption."  They don't want you to know results of studies or engage facts and experts that refute their faulty claims. They want a monopoly on what we know.   http://www.anh-usa.org/dissent-silenced-in-nutrition-debate/
