The false gods of scientific medicine revealed: It's a cult, not a science Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The term "science" is invoked with hilarious frequency: science journals, science-based medicine, proven medical science and so on. As you might have guessed, however, there's surprisingly little genuine science to be found in the common practice of conventional medicine. Rather, what passes for "science" today is a collection of health myths, half-truths, intellectual dishonesty, self delusion, fraudulent reporting and wishful thinking. Take clinical trials, for example.

The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Check out the Public Library of science journals, which, as far as I can tell, are the only honest medical journals in the industry. #5 Ban direct-to-consumer drug advertising Drug companies whooped and high-fived each other when they convinced the FDA to legalize direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug advertising in 1997. It didn't take much convincing, actually, since the FDA guys were all getting drunk at the same party. Since then, consumers have been walloped with mostly false advertising touting fictitious benefits for dangerous drugs.

The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World Lynne McTaggart See book keywords and concepts

Gary wrote up our results for scientific publication, which prevents me at this writing from publishing photos. science journals demand that all details of a scientific experiment be published first in a peer-reviewed journal before being circulated publicly. Flushed with this first overwhelming success, we geared up for the large experiment on March 24 at 5 P.M. UK time. Gary and his team had hypothesized that an audience required a live image to connect with the target.

The Seven Laws of Nutrition Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

These and other nutritional myths are what they hear in medical school and in the popular science journals. Far too often, they simply pass those beliefs on to their patients without having any real knowledge of whether or not they are true. There's also the disturbing fact that there's no financial interest for doctors to actually teach their patients nutrition. Once again, I'm talking about old school doctors who have a heavy client base. Due to patient load, they can only spend 2-3 minutes in dialogue with each patient.

Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda Jacky Law See book keywords and concepts

The important point is that there is very little peer review in a whole raft of journals that pose as science journals. The process whereby other scientists knowledgeable in the field ensure the science is as impervious to bias or distortion as possible, in other words, hardly exists. 'The process of publication has been reduced to marketing dressed up as legitimate science,' says Horton. 'Pharmaceutical companies have found a way to circumvent the protective norms of peer review.

What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

However, much of the research on bST has been published in peer-reviewed physiology, endocrinology, and dairy science journals or presented at scientific meetings and symposiums. Although these articles contain much of the scientific data that have been generated, they do not encompass all of the pivotal studies that formed the basis for the FDA's determination that meat and milk from bST-treated cows are safe for human consumption.

Herbal Drugs and Phytopharmaceuticals: A Handbook for Practice on a Scientific Basis Josef A. Brinckmann and Michael P. Lindenmaier See book keywords and concepts

On the other hand, cancer therapy with mistletoe extracts has encountered skepticism in a few papers published in medical and natural science journals [24, 25], probably also because these authors take issue with anthroposophical theory. Mistletoe tea is used on a purely empirical basis as an adjuvant in the therapy of hypertension, vertigo, and cephalic blood congestion. The rationale for these uses is lacking because the visco-toxins, which have hypotensive activity if they are recovered in the tea, as already mentioned, are decomposed in the gastrointestinal tract or are not absorbed intact.

Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism Marion Nestle See book keywords and concepts

Citations follow the spare, unpunctuated "Vancouver" style used by most biological science journals, as described in JAMA 1993;269:2282-2286 (translation: Journal of the American Medical Association, 1993, volume 269, pages 2282 to 2286). Sometimes, issue numbers follow the volume in parentheses. Thus, Food Technology i99i;45(5)-.248-253 refers to an article published in the fifth (in this case, May) issue. As is customary in this style, text citations sometimes appear out of numerical order; these are space-saving cross-references to material cited earlier in the same chapter.

Food, Inc. Mendel to Monsanto - The Promises and Perils of the Biotech Harvest Peter Pringle See book keywords and concepts

The policy had ultimately caused a steady decline in the public trust in biotech science. In science journals the anonymous peer-review process is supposed to distinguish good science from bad, letting only the best into the public record to be used as reference for future inquiry. Peer reviews are not always perfect, of course, but Natures disavowal of its original publication of Quist and Chapela's work threw that professional code into turmoil. "The specter of unseen actors manipulating events is especially worrying," commented the British weekly New Scientist.

Finally Losey decided to write the report and send it to science journals. "To have sat on the data and not publish would have been unprofessional," he said later. "And it would have been irresponsible not to take the results to our peers and the public."8 In search of a publisher, Losey's first stop was Science magazine, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. It was not interested. The next stop was the British weekly journal Nature, where Losey had previously published. Intrigued, its editors sent the report to two reviewers, who urged publication.

Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill Robert Whitaker See book keywords and concepts

Instead, FDA reviewers pointed out the ways in which Janssen and Eli Lilly had used biased trial designs to produce results that, when published in the science journals, created a story of superiority (and enabled them to sell their new drugs for ten to thirty times the price of the old neuroleptics). However, such criticism did not require the knowledge of an FDA expert. The methods used by drug companies to make their drugs look good in clinical trials have become so well known that various articles have appeared in medical journals cataloging them.

Citations follow the spare, unpunctuated "Vancouver" style used by most biological science journals as described in JAMA 199 3 ;z6<) 12282-228 6 (Journal of the American Medical Association, 1993, volume 269, pages 2282-2286). Issue numbers sometimes follow the volume in parentheses; thus Food Technology 1989543(4): r44~r 50 refers to a paper published in the April issue. As is customary in Vancouver style, text citations to references sometimes appear out of numerical order; these are cross-references to material cited earlier in the same chapter. To save space, references to most U.S.

During the following twenty-one years he would see another fifty-eight of his own papers on that subject published in the most prestigious science journals in the country.8 What Dr. Burr demonstrated, through the use of highly sensitive instruments, is that plants, animals, and human beings possess electromagnetic force fields, or energy fields. These fields both determine and are determined by the form and condition of the organism to which they belong.

Conscious Eating Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

The clinical evidence as reported in such science journals as the Journal of Human Nutrition, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and Journal of the American Dietetic Association clearly shows that in vegetarians, iron assimilation is as high as, or higher than, that of flesh-food eaters. Anderson, Gibson, and Sabry, in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, report that the hemoglobin and iron levels in vegetarian women who were regularly menstruating were higher than that of women of comparable age in the general population.

Most of the information we have about herbs is either anecdotal—based on the claims of people who've used them and say they're helpful—or highly scientific, originating in laboratories and reported in science journals. On the following pages you'll find, in alphabetical order, many health conditions—from cancer to yeast infections—that herbs may help prevent or cure. Cancer Prevention The idea that herbs can fortify our bodies' defenses against cancer isn't a new one—but even those well-versed in herbal medicine admit that there isn't much scientific evidence to support it.

Earth Right H. Patricia Hynes See book keywords and concepts

Scholarly science journals feature numerous articles on global warming and the fate of the ozone layer. Activist groups like the San Francisco-based Rainforest Action Network have prepared fact sheets to simplify the connections between global warming and fast-food hamburgers made from cattle that graze on vegetation in destroyed rainforests. Some of this information is accessible to the general public.
