Recent analysis made by the University of California indicates that many medications approved by FDA may in fact not have been scientifically proven to be effective.
When testing medications, researchers gather a big group of similar people. They’re then split into two groups. One (testing group) is given the new medication that is believed to be effective. The other (comparison group) a pill (Placebos) that doesn’t contain the new medication.
If the testing group becomes healthier than the comparison group, the drug is approved. There doesn’t have to be a big difference, 5-10% is enough.
But that’s not the whole story.
This new analysis from the University of California however showed that most of the time, researchers don’t reveal what ingredients are in the comparison pill (Placebos) when applying for recognition from FDA.
This can drastically skew the results. What if they test drugs for diabetes, for example, and the comparison pill is made of sugar? Or cholesterol drug and the comparison pill include trans-fat?
Its’ scary to think that to prove the effectiveness of a new drug, researchers may knowingly include harmful ingredient in the comparison pill. And nobody asks about it.

Very interested in the summary but it would be helpful to have the citation for the original article. I ahev been unable to track it down on the Internet.
To stop this placebo corruption the government should set up and monopolize placebo manufacturing. It should be easy to do. How ever there is no guarantee that the researchers will use them and don’t continue with the corrupt practice and just lie. Then we have to escalate and improve the testing facility and compel the researchers to reveal the ingredients of the placebo they use, give samples to test. Then to outwit them a meaningful study need to be undertaken to verify the submitted results. When duplicity is detected the punishment need be severe enough to discourage deception. Similar to drug cheats at sport the testing will lag behind as the criminal’s intent can not be read. This testing/verifying effort need be founded adequately. Internal operational security also need to be instituted where more then on person makes decisions or signs off on anything. Video taped as well. I would not be surprised if drug manufacturers will try infiltrate and corrupt the staff.
Be well!

Doesn’t the FDA have formal pocedures for approving new drugs?.If so, what are they,if not ….why not?
I have often puzzled about what they use for the comparison trials. To read this just confirms my feeling about the poisons given out like they were M&M’s. What you do this year in USA, we do in Europe next year. Hence the terrible happenings when new drugs or vaccinations are used. Gardisil, Vioxx etc to name just a couple.
My mother had hands like you describe and had one knee replaced and suffered untold agony. The people are not kept informed enough, thank you for informing us.
it amazes me that it takes thousands of deaths to have medications pulled, and then most are not! Just a black box warning. You can’t blame the doctors for this because they are kept in the dark like us.
No one should have that much power over our lives! You see all sorts of advertisments on the t.v. Eat this ,drink this, take this and everything will be fine.
You need to be aware of your own body, Treat it well!
Don’t always believe whats told to you or what you see on the t.v.
Why? you say! Because i have diabetes and was given Metformin.
I now have lesions on my liver and tumors in lungs and adrenal glands, Now i am not say this medication did this but if you read the cautions it shows it can damage vital oragans.
So which is worse? diabetes or the medication we so trustingly TAKE?

I have been taking hypertension medications for more than a year now and have my BP normalized again. Medications are; enalapril, nifedipine and atenol. However, after the BP came to normal, blood test showed that my kidneys started to fail functioning properly or below average. Doctors do not really explain the side effects of medications, but continue to prescribe taking them. I wish if doctors too are well versed with what medications should not be taken and what should be taken. I believe that there are hundreds of drugs out there. Otherwise, doctors are not pharmacists and are also kept in the dark. They work in hospitals not necessarily to save human lives, but also to put food on the table.
I am not an anti doctor but being passionate about saving human lives, only a few gifted persons are blessed with that kind of passion. May God bless and cheers!
