You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore Bill Sardi See book keywords and concepts

So now drug researchers are attempting to place their cancer drugs inside liposomes or nanospheres, to hide them from cellular detoxification systems. [Journal Medicinal Chemistry 46: 4805-17, 2003] Some drugs, like verpamil, cyclosporine, nifedipine, quini-dine and reserpine, inhibit P-glycoprotein. However, these drugs are weak inhibitors of P-glycoprotein and drug resistance still develops. Natural agents like hypericum in St. John's wort and grapefruit juice can decrease levels of drugs by increasing the action of P-glycoprotein.

FTC sues Kevin Trudeau over weight loss claims while ignoring Big Pharma monopoly pricing Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The only "drug" it contains is the molecule found in the yeast in the first place by drug researchers who biopirated it! I'm sure the FTC has done plenty of good work over the last few decades, but this targeting of Kevin Trudeau over a weight loss book is such a silly exercise in selective enforcement over weight loss claims that it frankly makes the agency look childish and misguided. It's acting like a schoolyard bully throwing a fit rather than a genuine protector of the rights and interests of U.S. consumers.

America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived Dr. Timothy Scott See book keywords and concepts

Although some women underwent elective hysterectomies to eliminate the risk of endometrial (uterine) cancer, the drug researchers at Wyeth soon came up with a better option. Knowing that progesterone actually blocked the effect of estrogen, the Wyeth researchers found that they could reduce the risk of endometrial cancer by simply adding progesterone to some of the estrogen pills.7 This new and improved pill, Prempro, was perfect for all those women who had never had a hysterectomy.

That pronouncement was not coming from actual drug researchers, but from people who may not have had more than a bachelor's degree in English who happened to work for a Washington, D.C, public relations firm.7 It just couldn't get much stranger! Well, I take that back. I guess it could. Dr. Andrew Mosholder Gets Gagged Dr. Andrew Mosholder, an FDA drug safety officer, was aware of various studies which indicated that antidepressants could increase suicide and aggressive behavior.

Question 3: Are university drug researchers commonly supported by grants from the drug companies? Do they frequently serve as consultants to these drug manufacturers? Could this influence their objectivity? Survey results vary with the nature of the subject and the population being studied. However, if the researcher is willing to make sufficient effort and has enough money for the investigation, I believe response rates in excess of 80% are very achievable for most studies. Completion rates involve a similar principle to response rates.

The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, and Asthma Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts

While medical and drug researchers are trying to figure out the molecular details of what goes wrong, they miss the obvious: allergies, on the scale that they now exist, are a recent phenomenon. So what has changed? Research conducted by Francis Pottenger, M.D., during the 1930s offers a clue about how modem dietary changes have led to significant increases in the prevalence of allergies. Pottenger conducted a variety of dietary studies on more than nine hundred cats.

Bitter Pills: Inside the Hazardous World of Legal Drugs Stephen Fried See book keywords and concepts

More accurate, perhaps, is the description I once heard from one of the world's most respected drug researchers. He called Wolfe "the Malcolm X of medication," and he meant it in the best and worst possible senses. Sidney Wolfe continues to have many fans in medicine, and among the millions of readers of his Worst Pills, Best Pills books and newsletters. "Sid is, on one hand, a loose cannon, but on the other hand an enormous resource," one prominent drug researcher told me. "He shoots from the hip, usually too early, but usually correctly.
