The FDA Wants Your Medical Records
In an unprecedented move the Department of Defense has agreed to share at least some of its 9.1 million medical records of military personnel and their families with the FDA. The FDA says it wants the information for improved safety monitoring of drugs. This “safety excuse” is a cover for the FDA to set up the technology to efficiently track the entire population’s medical records. By working with the military records the FDA can set up and perfect the IT technology required to do this.Read More: Big Brother, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, DNA, drugs, FDA, licensing, medical records, patenting, safety, tracking
FDA Unable to Monitor the Safety of Our Food Supply
Let’s face it, the only things that interest Commissioner of the FDA Andrew von Eschenbach are making new and experimental cancer drugs, turning the FDA into a drug development company, and rushing drugs to the market with less safety testing than already exists. What does he really care about the distraction known as the safety of the food supply?Read More: cancer drugs, China, contaminated food, FDA, food safety, imported food, India, Mexico, safety
Drug-related Deaths and Serious Injuries Have Doubled
The FDA reports that between 1998 and 2005 deaths and serious injuries from drugs has doubled, a rate of injury significantly faster than the increase in prescriptions. 51 drugs are responsible for the increase, with new biotech drugs that modulate the immune system at the top of the list. 85% percent of those suffering did not have any label warning that the drug they were taking could produce the serious health problem, injury, or death....Read More: drug-related deaths, FDA, injuries from drugs, prescription drugs, Vioxx, warning label
Media is Part of the Big Pharma Cartel
Have you ever wondered why the media speaks so highly of drugs and paints safe and effective dietary supplements as either not effective or even dangerous? As the House and Senate finally agreed to a near useless FDA reform and financing package it became painfully clear that advertising dollars were far more important than health or safety of Americans.Read More: advertising, Big Pharma, dietary supplements, drugs, FDA, House, media, Senate
FDA, Bush, and Republicans Attack Citizen’s Health Rights
The FDA reform legislation passed by the House and Senate shows just how corrupt the politics for profit system in America has become. The idea that citizens would have no right to sue a drug company when they are injured or killed by a medication is a difficult pill to swallow. Especially in light of multiple scandals, many ongoing, wherein the FDA and drug companies selectively hide important risks from the public in an effort to protect the profits of Big Pharma at the expense of human health.Read More: Big Pharma, Bush Administration, death by medicine, drug risks, drug scandals, FDA, Republicans
FDA Condones Unsafe Human Experiments
The New York Times reports that the FDA fails to ensure the safety of millions of people who participate in experimental clinical trials. In fact, the government doesn’t even have any idea how many of these experiments are taking place. The FDA haphazardly follows up on less than 1%, and when problems are found little or nothing is done.Read More: experimental clinical trials, FDA, New York Times
Washington Post Calls the FDA’s New Reagan-Udall Center Rife With Risks
Since mid summer I was the primary drum beat warning of the grave consequences to health freedom and health in general about turning the FDA into a pseudo drug company by giving it control over the licensing, patenting, and profits of the very drugs it is supposed to be regulating. Congressional birdbrains failed to even debate the most sweeping change of the FDA in a hundred years!Read More: FDA, licensing, patenting, Reagan-Udall Foundation, Senate
Cancer Industry Lobbies for Profits that Kill
Billions of dollars of profit are at stake. The new generation of biotech drugs is upon us. Will they help or will they kill? The answer, it appears, depends on the dose. More importantly, the answer depends on the moral integrity of oncologists that treat their patients. What should society do with doctors that put money in their pockets as a priority over the lives of their patients?Read More: anemia, biotech drugs, cancer treatment, ESAs, FDA, oncologist, profit, transfusions
Amazingly, FDA has Bayer Pull Trasylol from the Market
Is the FDA really changing? Its hard to believe but the FDA finally acted in the best interests of consumers, shooting down a bio-tech drug that made Bayer millions and was at one time on the verge of becoming a blockbuster. I have openly criticized the FDA for some time on Trasylol, as it dragged its feet on this issue for almost two years.Read More: Bayer, FDA, Trasylol
FDA Fails Women on Birth Control Safety
A preliminary study shows that for every 10 years of birth control pills there is a 20 – 30 percent increase in peripheral artery small plaques. The study was presented at the yearly meeting of the American Heart Association, placing it in the national news spotlight. News stations have been carrying the story and the typical medical spokespeople are trying to allay the fears of millions of birth control pill users. There are two main issues here: the FDA “ineptitude issue” and the “what to do about it issue.”Read More: arteries, Birth Control, C-reactive protein, DHA, drug testing, FDA, Quercetin, Tocotrienols
