    This can be made an automatic severe penalty. The paper

    them surviving.

    But would intelligent people take the chance, knowing that
    50% of drugs currently fail safety tests? A typical drug
    which has passed all the current tests has about 20% of the
    users getting side effects, many quite serious or even fatal.

    BTW, physicians should make sure that their patients have
    gone through the material on a drug before they leave the
    facilities, or they become liable for anything not disclosed.

    Automatic! LOL...magical!! Whee! It just happens, all by itself! A
    penalty automatically comes knocking at the door, recognizing that a
    crime has been committed and say to the well-heeled CEO, gosh, golly,
    gee, sir, you have lied through your teeth and destroyed evidence and
    now you will beat yourself silly with me because I am the Automatic
    Severe Wet Noodle Penalty! No government needed!!

    Just add honesty and integrity....

    oops...

    Dear god. Are you really a professor of something???

    Herman, it depends on how severe the disease is as to whether you want to
    risk the side effects. I have side effects with aspirin, for example, and
    always have. Yet it is generally recommended that virtually everyone take
    it. If I do, after about 3 days, I am miserable and have to stop. I have
    some very atypical symptoms too,. but they can be replicated every time.

    Look, we need the tests. Is anyone saying we do not?

    It does not really matter who provides the treatment if the side effects are
    what you are worried about. So little is known about the chemistry of the
    human body that right now we are really in the dark ages about cancer, heart
    attacks and stroke, the only "remaining" killers if you don't die of
    accident or infection. Look at the HRT scandal. Look at the stent scandal.
    Procedures first. Evaluation after billions of $$$ later. At least drugs
    have to be given research first. Surgery needs evaluation too, but it is
    not being done.

    Most drugs had undergone small safety and effectiveness
    tests, at least those produced by the pharmaceutical
    companies. How many drugs can you name which were
    marketed by companies such as Lilly or Bayer before
    the recent large amount of testing which can be called
    really bad? Most of the testing was on those who
    designed the drugs or their coworkers.

    How much safety and how much effectiveness do you want?
    You cannot get it all. The FDA held up metformin, the
    drug now most used as the initial drug treatment for
    diabetes, and very often with others, for YEARS, when
    it was being used in Europe. The same is true for
    beta blockers, used to treat hypertension.

    Yes, this is true. You only hope that if a side effect is common,
    someone with that problem will be in the original study group.

    But by the patient, since doctors go by cookbook rules. My wife found that
    taking beta blockers gives her atrial fib, when they were supposed to help
    her. Finally her physician listened to her.

    The godlets know that Science in the united states has very sadly
    taken a backseat to marketing and sales.

    ALLHAT showed, for example, that a diuretic is your best bet for
    hypertension--but still, they shovel overpriced [censored] down people's
    throats who do not need it--and in fact may be causing harm. But no
    head-to-head studies, short of this one, were otherwise done.

    Science? Nope. Just marketing.

    I have REPEATEDLY posted against such actions by the
    physician. For the physician not to discuss the
    treatment with the patient as an intelligent customer,
    and to point out the benefits and risks of the various
    possibilities, should be considered malpractice. It is
    the patient who should be given the relevant information
    and make the decision. The physician should provide the
    specialized information needed for this, and NOT decide.

    Yes, the physician should be forced to think; those who
    just "go by the book" I fire as soon as I can.

    human body that right now we are really in the dark ages about cancer, heart
    attacks and stroke, the only "remaining" killers if you don't die of
    accident or infection. Look at the HRT scandal. Look at the stent scandal.
    Procedures first. Evaluation after billions of $$$ later. At least drugs
    have to be given research first. Surgery needs evaluation too, but it is
    not being done.

    Sorry, we cannot wait that long. Would YOU agree to be
    a subject in such a clinical trial? Only if you did not
    care which procedure was used.

    You exaggerate both the cost of the "unnecessary" procedures
    and the ease of collecting the data.

    Sometimes not that. I can take any dosage of aspirin, but
    I have problems with muscle relaxants. The "safety and
    effectiveness" studies to date, with few exceptions, give
    no guidance as to what genetic and environmental conditions
    affect the response, and how it does it.

    Quoted message said:

    Yes, this is true. You only hope that if a side effect is common,
    someone with that problem will be in the original study group.

    I have had uncommon side effects.

    I have odd reactions to other drugs. Often, physicians have
    to go by "common sense", which is usually uncommon and often
    wrong. The point is, actions have to be taken.

    But by the patient, since doctors go by cookbook rules. My wife found that
    taking beta blockers gives her atrial fib, when they were supposed to help
    her. Finally her physician listened to her.

    It should be malpractice for doctors not to listen to
    patients. Too many of them seem incapable of doing so.

    Important video relating to HIV and AIDS.

    http://www.aidsfraudvideo.com/

    HIV=AIDS: Fact or Fraud? One of the most powerful video documentaries
    of our time boldly reveals the modern medical-industrial complex's
    dire descent into utter corruption. This feature-length expose
    explains exactly how the 300-Billion-dollar AID$ fraud began, why HIV
    can NOT be the cause of AIDS, what the real causes could be, and who
    manipulates the public's good intentions while poisoning hundreds of
    thousands with toxic drugs that cause the very disease they are
    supposed to prevent. This is a systematic dissection of the HIV/AID$
    machine and how they hijacked a program designed to fight a worldwide
    plight of human suffering and drove it down the road to hell. Yet this
    program offers hope, inspired by the courage and articulate arguments
    of a group of growing voices internationally challenging the
    HIV=AIDS=DEATH hysteria. A MUST SEE for anyone interested in truly
    understanding the facts about HIV/AID$.

    You will meet a number of highly reputable scientists who all agree
    that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, including Dr. Peter Duesberg, who was the
    first scientist to map the genetic structure of retroviruses. He is
    joined by Nobel Prize winners Dr. Kary Mullis and Dr.Walter Gilbert,
    along with Dr. David Rasnick, an expert in the field of protease
    inhibitors

    Is HIV/AIDS the golden idol of junk science? Judge for yourself.
    Professionally produced, written and researched, acclaimed by
    physicians, scientists, journalists and humanitarians internationally,
    this is the video encyclopedia of HIV/AIDS dissident movement! THE
    defining documentary on the HIV/AIDS fraud

    Important video relating to HIV and AIDS.

    What a complete load of absolute [censored]. Where's the aluminum hats?

    People with HIV who buy these lies have pretty much all died of AIDS.

    The lies and distortions in this video have been amply refuted--and
    indeed, rely on distorting science and research to support a crackpot
    and deadly notion, promulgated by right wing psychotics.

    We are a global-reach voluntary group. Our goal is ensuring the
    interests of AIDS-diagnosed people are no longer secondary to the
    interests of drug suppliers, service providers and the Aids research
    industry. Did You Know that many experts now contend AIDS is not a
    fatal, incurable condition caused by HIV?

    We bring you the voices of alternative scientists and reforming
    campaigners worldwide. We are independent of vested pharmaceutical
    and medical interests -offering readers and forum members, global news
    and leading edge views on diagnosis and treatment.

    Most of the information you receive is commercially driven and based
    on misleading assumptions or unfounded estimates and predictions. The
    symptoms associated with AIDS are treatable using non-toxic, immune
    enhancing therapies that have restored health and have enabled those
    truly at risk to remain well.
