Prescription Drugs--Manipulated Clinical Research, 5/7

http://www.encognitive.com
ONE of Australia's most senior cancer specialists has accused pharmaceutical companies of manipulating some clinical trials of medicines for commercial reasons, including deliberately delaying the release of negative findings and being reluctant to fund research into the toxicity of their drugs.

Professor Stephen Clarke, who has conducted clinical trials involving humans for 15 years, agreed to speak publicly for the first time because he said it was essential for governments to fund trials of great public importance rather than leaving critical research solely to drug companies.

A number of researchers who spoke to The Age agreed, saying commercial decisions meant the public did not always get the full picture about a drug's usefulness and safety.

This is exactly why I take NO meds, EVER, and will not either. So far, there are no meds that are effective, but rather destructive. Many lives are ruined and are crippled suffering from multi-systemic illness involving heart failure, kidnyes, liver, neurological, auto-immune illnesses and more thanks to medcines!!!
