In giving the industry increasing responsibility over the years for funding clinical studies, says John Abramson, we have granted it the power to leverage the direction that medical research takes. "The primary mission of medical research has been transformed," he says. "It used to be all about gathering information to improve health. Now, clinical research is aimed at gathering information that will maximize return on investment. |

However, we do not believe that any serious medical research, even though its results are inconclusive should be disregarded or lightly dismissed.
At the same time, we feel it is in the public interest to call attention to the fact that eminent doctors and research scientists have publicly questioned the claimed significance of these experiments.
Distinguished authorities point out:
1. That medical research of recent years indicates many possible causes of lung cancer.
2. That there is no agreement among the authorities regarding what the cause is.

According to medical research, oral contraceptives and other estrogens double a woman's chance of developing gallstones. The female hormone, estrogen, which is contained in contraceptive pills and hormone replacements, increases bile cholesterol and decreases gallbladder contraction. Therefore, this estrogen-effect may be responsible for not only causing gallstones in the liver and gallbladder, but also for many other diseases that arise from diminished liver and gallbladder functions. Earlier medical research also implicated progestogens contained in HRT drugs in the development of gallstones. |

Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, states: "Drug companies have become vast marketing machines wielding nearly limitless influence over medical research, education and how doctors do their jobs."
There are volumes of solid, credible clinical trials and medical studies that validate the safety and efficacy of bio-identical hormone therapies. Unfortunately, the medical research institutions and universities that publish these studies do not have the budget to hire a sales force to go out into the field to educate physicians. |

It's a mistake that a seventh-grade science student might make on a school paper, but I would hope that adult medical research and news reporters would at least be intelligent enough to get past this simple logic error. Saying that depression "causes" osteoporosis is as silly as claiming that depression causes cancer, or that osteoporosis causes cancer. All three of these have the same common cause.

Allergies and immune responses
According to the Indian Council of medical research, "The allergenicity potential of GM food has often been difficult to establish with existing methods as the transgenes transferred are frequendy from sources not eaten before, many have unknown allergenicity, or there maybe a potential for the genetic modification process to result in increase of an allergen already present in the food."1
The threat is not trivial. |
| The Indian Council of medical research (ICMR) has raised some concerns over the safety of genetically modified (GM) food and has urged for an overhaul of the existing regulatory mechanism____"Specific safety issues associated with GM foods include direct or indirect consequences of new gene product or altered levels of existing gene product due to GM, possibility of gene transfer from ingested GM food and potential adverse effects like allergenicity and toxic effects. |

Gavin Lambert of Baker medical research Institute in Australia found that suicide rates peak in the spring just after winter's end. This seasonal variation also showed up in other studies.
At the same time, this phenomenon was absent when we reviewed suicide rates in an equatorial population in Singapore. This suggests that it takes a shorter summer with UVB rays and a longer winter without UVB rays and decreased vitamin D production for the seasonal suicide trend to occur.

Distinguished authorities point out:
1. That medical research of recent years indicates many possible causes of lung cancer.
2. That there is no agreement among the authorities regarding what the cause is.
3. That there is no proof that cigarette smoking is one of the causes.
4. That statistics purporting to link cigarette smoking with the disease could apply with equal force to any one of many other aspects of modern life. Indeed the validity of the statistics themselves is questioned by numerous scientists. |
| The same year -- three decades after medical research demonstrated the dangers of cigarettes -- the American Medical Association finally issued statement on smoking, calling it "a serious health hazard." It was not until 1998 that the CTR was shut down -- and only after the tobacco industry lost a major court case brought forward by states across the country.

In 2006, Beck was awarded the Albert Lasker Clinical medical research Award for his insightful work; this award is often a step to a Nobel prize. Both Beck and Ellis have written books for the layperson that are well worth reading. In contrast to psychoanalysis, CBT has an endpoint: improved daily function for depressed and anxious people. By simply recognizing that his or her beliefs may be contributing to depression, a patient may find the depression beginning to fade, or at least becoming easier to deal with. |

If the US medical research companies were interested in real science, they would stop trying to research the disease and start trying to research the causes of the disease. If you identify the causes of cancers -- which is quite possible without a $100 million government grant -- then you can halt the diseases. At least 90 percent of all cancers are directly preventable, for example, through simple low-cost or free solutions. There is no need for cancer to be an epidemic in our society today. Cancer is easy to prevent. |

Curing rats is a far cry from curing humans, and yet because rats, like mice, share remarkably similar neurological and immune systems to ours, it is with rodents that most medical research begins.
The story of how Kerr and his team came to cure paralyzed rats began in 1998 in Douglas Kerr's lab on the fifth floor of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. At the time, Kerr's meager research team consisted only of himself and two others. |

Sometimes I have to just sit back and shake my head in amazement when I observe the idiocy in modern medical research. And then when the mainstream media takes this garbage and reports it as fact, I have to vigorously shake my head yet again like a 1980's heavy metal band riffing on a guitar solo. It's like all these people are just complete idiots. I don't mean that as a name-calling insult. I mean it as an accurate description of their lack of mental capacity. |

In my medical research, I carry out investigations of current-day health problems, such as illness among welders from metal fumes and asthma among workers in professions exposed to allergy-producing dusts. In both settings, I always encounter the same recurring phenomenon. Time and time again, I am astonished to learn that what I first believed was a novel finding in fact had already been reported by others often ten, twenty, or thirty years earlier, sometimes as long as a century or more ago. |

Nearly twenty years down the pike, by the early 1990s, Harley—after a residency at Yale and postdoc training at the National Institutes of Health—was in charge of the large-scale lab operation at the Oklahoma medical research Foundation, where he had been working for eight years. Judi James, meanwhile, was a fourthgeneration Oklahoman from Pond Creek, a small northern Oklahoma town of fewer than nine hundred people, who'd come to OMRF as an undergraduate and never left. |

As Germany geared up for war, more hard-nosed, "mechanistic" medical leaders within the party and the SS—men with a range of practical technologies and concerns (racial screening, sterilization, military medical research, and ultimately methods of mass "euthanasia")—increasingly came to prevail over the "holists."
It is true that, by the last years of the war, German psychiatrists were again confronting large numbers of soldiers suffering from the paralyses, shaking, and other physical symptoms of battle trauma. |

This is what astonishes me so much: How on earth is nobody else noticing these fatal problems in medical research and mainstream media reporting? Why does this stuff just slip by? And why, by God, do the readers of all these newspapers just swallow all this information without a single skeptical thought?
This is what baffles me. I guess on the Planet of the Idiots, people just don't think to question anything they read in the newspaper. The internet, they're told, is where all the inaccurate information comes from. But newspapers and magazines? They only report solid facts! |

McCay, the nutritionist at the Naval medical research Institute.
"I was amazed to learn," he testified, "that the beverage contained substantial amounts of phosphoric acid. . . . At the Naval medical research Institute, we put human teeth in a cola beverage and found they softened and started to dissolve within a short period… The acidity of cola beverages ... is about the same as vinegar. The sugar content masks the acidity, and children little realize they are drinking this strange mixture of phosphoric acid, sugar, caffeine, coloring, and flavoring matter. |

One clue is if he or she is engaged in medical research; a critical quality for success in research is curiosity. A doctor who also conducts research will view you through a research lens. You may seem interesting just because your case is a little more difficult to solve. What you say to such a physician may spark ideas that he or she can put to the test in the laboratory; or perhaps the doctor/researcher is already conducting research to which your case lends itself. |

| Through medical research, Dr. Reavens estimates that more than 80 million adult Americans have Syndrome X.3
Let's take a moment to look at the common cause of Syndrome X, the body's developed resistance against insulin.
What Is Insulin Resistance? .
Americans are infatuated with a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, although in truth, most Americans eat a high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet. Over the years our diet has taken its toll, and many of us have become less and less sensitive to our own insulin as a result. |
| This is cutting-edge medical research. Most physicians and health-care practitioners have yet to come on board and make this research practical for the average, everyday person.
Be that as it may, the simple concept of cellular nutrition is the best way to defend yourself from the underlying threat of oxidative stress. By combining a healthy diet, a modest exercise program, and cellular nutrition, you are giving yourself the absolute best chance to protect your health or to redeem it after it has been lost. You have learned the power of complementary medicine. |
