Depression Drugs in the Oz Profit Zone

Depression Drugs in the Oz Profit Zone

When is it okay to knock a blockbuster drug and say that the basis for it was a lie? As demonstrated by Dr. Oz's pandering, it's when the drug goes off patent, causing profit depression. The fact is that SSRI antidepressants have always been based on a lie, but saying it is verboten until the profits dry up. Then, and only then, is it..

Proof that Big Pharma Doesn’t Care About Vaccine Harm

Proof that Big Pharma Doesn’t Care About Vaccine Harm

Big Pharma's corruption goes back decades. Wyeth's attempt in 1979 to find a way to make it difficult or impossible to track batches of vaccine when something goes wrong—like when children die—clarifies that there's nothing new about their willingness to cover up the massive harms done by their products, even when children die from..

Busting the Placebo Myth: Placebos Don’t Cure

Busting the Placebo Myth: Placebos Don’t Cure

One of the most frequent epithets tossed at people who make claims of alternative medicine is that it's just the placebo effect. But that is based on the myth that placebos can cure.

He Had Bypass Surgery, But Died from the Antidepressant

He Had Bypass Surgery, But Died from the Antidepressant

Doctors routinely prescribe antidepressants after cardiac bypass surgeries. There's no consideration for their adverse effects, nor do they consider that depression after such surgery is a reasonable emotion, nor do they bother to consider whether a patient actually is depressed. Larry, a happy-go-lucky man, died of the practice.

Antibiotics Breed Apocalyptic Diseases

Antibiotics Breed Apocalyptic Diseases

It's past time for conventional medicine to step down from its hubristic stance to realize that they don't know better than nature, that they cannot beat nature, and that they must work with nature, not against her. Until they do, they'll be no different than any of the other soul-sucking industries that exist by raping the earth of her..

Over-the-Counter NSAID Kills, But Docs & Regulators Ignore Evidence

Over-the-Counter NSAID Kills, But Docs & Regulators Ignore Evidence

Diclofenac has long been known to be a killer, every bit as dangerous as Vioxx, which may have killed half a million people in the US alone. But diclofenac isn't only a prescription drug. It's sold over-the-counter. Yet doctors keep prescribing it and regulators do nothing to control or even warn about it.

New Study: Antidepressants as Vaccine Adjuvants?

New Study: Antidepressants as Vaccine Adjuvants?

Adjuvants are, by definition, toxic. That's why they're used in vaccines. They create an immune response that also reacts to the vaccine's antigen. Now, a study has documented that SSRI antidepressants have the same effect, thus demonstrating that SSRIs are toxic.

The Tamiflu Deception

The Tamiflu Deception

Tamiflu is chemotherapy that's now given to babies. How can it be justified when it produces next-to-no benefit, produces and worsens symptoms it supposedly prevents, and even causes brain swelling and death? As David points out, its maker, Roche, hid Tamiflu's adverse effects.

Grape Seed Extract May Beat Chemo in Late-Stage Cancer

The benefits of grape seed extract in cancer are well documented, but modern medicine won't do anything with it until the mechanism of action has been found, so that it can be isolated, purified, made poisonous and owned by a single company for enormous profits.

FDA Gives Sole Herbal Product Rights to Big Pharma

FDA Gives Sole Herbal Product Rights to Big Pharma

The FDA has taken a freely-available herbal product, sap of the dragon's blood tree, defined it as the drug Fulyzac, & handed it to Big Pharma. Nature's gift is being polluted. What you get after Big Pharma and & the FDA get their hands on it has lost much of its value and often been rendered into a poison, the very nature of a drug.
