Quote:

For the past 21 years, The Life Extension Foundation has compiled evidence indicating that the FDA is the number one cause of death in the United States. The FDA causes Americans to die by:

• Delaying the introduction of life-saving therapies
• Suppressing safe methods of preventing disease
• Causing the price of drugs to be so high that some Americans do without
• Denying Americans access to effective drugs approved in other countries
• Intimidating those who develop innovative methods to treat disease
• Approving lethal prescription drugs that kill
• Censoring medical information that would let consumers protect their health
• Censoring medical information that would better educate doctors
• Failing to protect the safety of our food
• Misleading the public about scientific methods to increase longevity

Big Pharma: Getting away with murder
Thursday, June 07, 2012 by: Craig Stellpflug

(NaturalNews) If a study comes up negative for your favorite drug, just don't publish it! 68 percent of all drug studies are swept under the carpet to keep those pesky side effects from being reported. Only 32 percent of studies come up positive, and a lot of those studies are "shortened" to limit the long-term findings. Studies cut short were found to overestimate the study drug's effectiveness and miss dangerous side effects and complications by an average of 30 percent. This would explain the amazing 85 percent drug study success rate in the hands of Big Pharma according to the Annals of Internal Medicine.

In some cases, shortened studies don't just make a drug look more effective than it ever could be, but they also turn dangerous and ineffective meds into miracle drugs, according to a study in JAMA. Studies are often cut short when researchers get "overwhelmingly convincing evidence" of a drug's effectiveness. If you want to make money with your drug, find an early spike in the data and run with it before the data dives. Get in, get the result you want, get out fast, and make lots of money.
