FDA Sued for Withholding Data on Antibiotic Use in Food Animals

    By Dr. Mercola

    The United States uses nearly 30 million pounds of antibiotics annually in food production. Livestock antibiotic use accounts for 80 percent of the total antibiotics sold in the US, and unnecessary use of antibiotics in food animals (cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys) is a major driving force behind the rampant development of […]

        How Drug Company Money is Undermining Science

        By Dr. Mercola

        When it comes to making health care decisions, which can deeply impact your life, you need access to truthful, unbiased information and science, or at least access to a physician who does.

        Yet true, independent research — the foundation upon which the modern medical system is supposed to be based — is becoming […]

          The Futility of Pharma-based Alzheimer’s Research

          by Alliance for Natural Health

          Behind a dangerous new test approved by the FDA is a new drug by the same company. Meanwhile, new research offers better natural solutions.

          The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new test from Eli Lilly & Co that detects the presence of proteins in the brain that have […]

            NIH Vaccine Chief Leaves Government to Work for Pharmaceutical Industry

            By Dr. Mercola

            The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is actually the second-highest funding source for drug studies (first is the drug companies, themselves). Many assume NIH-funded studies are unbiased, but NIH accepts a great deal of money from Big Pharma and is deeply enmeshed with the industry,

            The revolving door between government and the pharmaceutical […]

              Another New Cholesterol-Lowering Drug is Licensed Despite No Evidence of Benefits for Health

              by Dr. John Briffa

              I was reading here that there’s a new cholesterol-lowering drug in the pipeline. The Food and Drugs Administration in the US has approved the injectable agent mipomersen for the treatment of ‘homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia – a genetic cause of raised cholesterol levels associated with cardiovascular disease developing early in life. Mipomersen has been […]

                Imagine for a moment that a soldier is ordered to proceed through a clearly identified mine field, having received assurance from his commanding officer that it’s okay to proceed because the odds are not everyone is blown to bits. Most would consider this nothing short of […]

                  Supplements not on an FDA approved list could disappear

                  by Alliance for Natural Health

                  Supplements not on an FDA “approved” list could disappear.

                  The NDI guidance interprets the rules for new supplements. After your protests got the first draft scrubbed, work on a second draft continues at FDA. A second meeting between FDA and “stakeholders”—mostly trade groups, with ANH-USA once again the only grassroots consumer group present—took […]

                    Random Violence & Senseless Shootings: Police data may I.D. psychiatric drug use in violent crimes

                    The Citizens Commission on Human Rights

                    Law enforcement is in a unique position to collect data that may actually provide the most accurate information about the possible connection between psychotropic  drugs and violence.

                    Image caption: 22 international drug regulatory warnings cite psychiatric drugs causing violent reactions including mania, psychosis, hostility, violence and homicide.

                      Die Early with Sleeping Pills

                      by Alliance for Natural Health

                      A new study shows prescription sleeping pills bring an increased risk of dying early—or getting cancer. So why is FDA rubber-stamping such dangerous drugs?

                      Sleep deprivation is a serious issue. As many as 70 million Americans suffer from insomnia and other sleep disorders. Some 60 million prescriptions for sleeping pills—technically called hypnotic […]

                        This is an introduction to our lengthy IV-Part, fully referenced, review of America’s Healthcare Crisis—including numerous recent peer reviewed journal articles.

                        America’s acute healthcare crisis affects average Americans—not just the poor. Specifically, we focus on several critical safety issues that plague US healthcare which are neither acknowledged, much less, addressed by ObamaCare,its progenitor, RomneyCare, nor any […]

                          Will Key Health Ingredient in Apples be Hijacked Into a Drug and Supplements Banned?

                          by Alliance for Natural Health

                          Will another supplement be turned into a drug?

                          Harvard researchers have found that a flavonoid compound in apples called rutin (it’s also found in onions, buckwheat, citrus fruits, and tea) has powerful properties that prevents blood clots in heart vessels. Rutin could prevent both the arterial clots that cause heart attacks and strokes and the venous […]

                            Untested, bio-engineered mosquitoes will likely be released in the Florida Keys.

                            The British firm Oxitec is in the process of seeking approval in the US for a mosquito that has been genetically engineered to combat dengue fever (an infectious, mosquito-borne tropical disease that causes fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and […]

                              New Charges of Fraud on Heels of Abbott’s $1.5 Billion Plea Agreement

                              By Dr. Mercola

                              Only weeks after pleading guilty to criminal charges that it promoted its anti-seizure drug Depakote for uses not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Abbott Labs is being sued again for similar charges with a different drug.

                              The new lawsuit alleges similar practices with Abbott’s cholesterol drug, TriCor. A former […]

                                Shocking Secrets about Clinical Trials: 2,061 Trial-Related Deaths. Yet Only 22 Were Compensated

                                By Dr. Mercola

                                Clinical research on humans is regarded as an essential component of drug research and development.

                                It is only after successfully being tested on people that drugs are supposed to be brought to market, but how can it be ethical to use people as guinea pigs in drug trials without fully informing them of what consequences […]

                                  Why have Antipsychotic Prescriptions in Children Skyrocketed?

                                   

                                  By Dr. Mercola

                                  Thanks to aggressive marketing techniques, pharmaceutical companies are raking in profits from atypical antipsychotic medications – drugs originally approved for mental illnesses that are as serious as they are rare.

                                  It’s no surprise then that a major portion of the sales of these types of “hard-core” psychiatric drugs come from off-label uses. Drugs […]

                                    Anemia Drug Made Billions but at What Cost?

                                    By Dr. Mercola

                                    Three anemia drugs – Epogen, Procrit and Aranesp – have been among the best-selling prescription drugs in the United States for years, generating more than $8 billion a year for their makers, Amgen and Johnson & Johnson.

                                    They were blockbuster drugs that stimulate your body to produce new red blood cells, which supposedly […]

                                          By Dr. Mercola

                                          Five years ago, in 2007, a report bearing the revealing title “FDA Science and Mission at Risk” by the Subcommittee on Science and Technology1, detailed how the FDA cannot fulfill its mission because:

                                          The FDA’s mission statement reads as follows:
                                          “The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security […]
