Drug companies driven by the ' quick buck ' motive have synthesized insulin. Trouble with the product has been played down . Eli Lilly & Novo Nordisk deny any possibility that their drug could be responsible for problems. 3,000 letters of complaint have been sent to the British Diabetic Association , listing coma without warning, moody, confused, forgetful , aggressive results after the switch from animal to synthetic insulin. Only when a big uproar happens do drug companies take any notice . Did they also ignore these problems when the original research was done. Is this another case of buying the 'scientific ' results you want? .

Doctors not only accept only rules that suit them - they also make their own up as they go along !!!. An inquiry is under way at North Staffordshire hospital into 128 cases of babies treated . Death was the lot of 28 , with a further 15 suffering permanent injury. All were used to test a new ventilator for premature babies. Consent forms signed by parents were described as misleading , hoodwinking and duping. The local MP said that " parents did not properly understand what was going on , and this needs looking at ." Was profit a cause of death ??.
" Some sociologists argue that science is something humans invented and therefore has no more validity than any other belief system " . " Some scientists have been known to fake their findings , and some show an all-too-human tendency to dismiss the bad outcomes and highlight only the good results ." " Scientists are humans ; they make mistakes , cling to favorite ideas , hold loyalties AND SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE !!!. As far as I can see that just about sums up science ,

. Enterovirus are smart little bugs. Found not only in athletic adults who drop dead of LVD [ left ventricular disease ] but also in respiratory tracts , enterovirus 71 is also found in meningitis and encephalitis . It is also described as a " flu-like virus " , shape shifters have nothing on the viral mutations ! .


Two United States sailors have been discharged from the U.S. Navy. The reason for discharge ? - - they refused doses of the ANTHRAX vaccine. WHY ? - because that was the vaccine involved in the DESERT WAR SYNDROME that has crippled so many U.S and U.K service men. The dangers of vaccination has finally penetrated to the conscious mind of the general populace - lets hope the pharmaceutical giants take note and stop pushing this damaging practice on the rest of us!.
81 cases mismatched blood due to human error there were 8 cases of infection being transmitted - one patient died of malaria , another caught AIDS and other got various types of Hepatitis. TB is on the rampage - between 2 & 3 MILLION die each year , according to A Zumla of UMC London. TB was around in dinosaur times - must have a good survival mechanism - antibiotics only hone its skills!!.
A London conference with the BMJ found that nearly all of the 130 editors had found fabrication , falsification or plagiarism in studies sent to them for publication. The US Office of Scientific Integrity found that 30% of allegations were found proved. In July John Anderton Secretary of Royal College of Physicians was struck off for 'faking ' research data. In May Consultant Cardiologist P. Nixon admitted deliberate errors in papers he published and accepted that he would cease to practice. In May Consultant Cardiologist P. Nixon admitted deliberate errors in papers he published and accepted that he would cease to practice. Dec '97 8,000 USA were injected with unlicensed vaccines prior to going to the Gulf War. A meeting at the army biological defence research station Maryland, doctors told the committee that test results on animals were promising but they could not be sure the vaccines would work or that it would be safe to vaccinate troops on the move.

In 1996 2 doctors were struck off for fraudulent drug trial and the 'Lancet' admitted that one in 250 scientific papers contained fraudulent data. In March 1996 Dr. Fairhurst reported for falsifying drug records, forging patients signatures and using patients as guinea pigs in drug trials without their consent. In pursuit of profit the following shows that only public outcry after many deaths can cause the withdrawal of profitable drugs. In the 10 yrs from 1983 there have been a total death roll of over 1,700 people and recorded drug injury to over 30,000 people as below . What should be emphasised is that in each and every instance a drug company researched the product , a Medical Scientists body approved the results and a Doctor prescribed the substance.

HALCION the "better" sleeping pill has the side effect of turning some people into homicidal maniacs. When M/s Grundberg of Utah murdered her 83 yr old mother by firing 8 bullets into her head the pharmaceutical company Upjohn settled out of court for some millions of dollars to avoid adverse publicity depressing sales of 285 million dollars . But a Mrs Wancasser of Missouri killed her two sons and committed suicide ; an ex policeman William Freedman killed his best friend. All after being prescribed a 'better' sleeping pill. Human growth hormone extracted from pituitary glands was used to from 1959-85 to treat slow growth undersized children. Signs pointing to the bad effects of the treatment were ignored in the 70's. It can give rise to CREUTZFELD-JAKOB disease. 7 of the 1,900 patients have died of CJD and all are at risk. In Aug. 1990 Terry Newman had problems with his balance. 16 weeks later he had rapidly deteriorated into a human vegetable and died. He was 20 yrs old and had been treated with the growth hormone when young. It should be noted that CJD is a part of the phenomenology of AIDS and ARC and that the hormonal reactions of the body and are very poorly understood. They act through the lymph and blood systems both of which are deeply implicated in all symptoms of AIDS. It is therefore highly probable that hormonal treatments of all kinds can affect the immune system.
. Dr. K. Harvey , Director of Microbiology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital said " We may look back on the antibiotic era as an era where the bugs proved smarter than the scientist. BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTICS ARE THE REFUGE OF THE DIAGNOSTICALLY DESTITUTE." Candida (thrush) has been shown to take up seven different configurations when challenged by various antibiotics-it may be effectively 'antibiotic-proof'. Tuberculosis (which has been shown to affect dinosaur bones ) is returning in new and more dangerous forms.
A leading surgeon, Mr. R Winston, head of an infertility clinic carried out a study of 108 patients with tubal damage. 79 had previous pelvic surgery which "in some cases was not necessary". He also stated that "the most intractable problem remains IAGROGENIC (disease caused by doctors). 65% have had previous surgery and this is now a major cause of avoidable damage. Half of these women have such damage that further surgery is pointless". On the 13th July 1995 surgeon Nicholas Siddle, consultant at UCH, was found guilty by the GMC on 7 charges of injuring women patients, 5 by 'keyhole' 2 by normal surgery- "inflicting damage variously to bowels, ureters & bladders." In early July 1995 Surgeon John Studd , Council Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, paid 32,500 pounds to Mrs. J Bartley. He had removed her ovaries without authorisation and increased the likelihood of an early menopause. When questioned Mr. Studd asserted that endometriosis was present. But examination of tissue showed that assertion to be incorrect. In July 1995 it was revealed that "At least 11 deaths have been caused by intravenous syringe pumps which have overdosed patients with the drugs they had been prescribed." Two doctors were convicted of manslaughter when a 16 yr old was given a spinal injection of the wrong drug and died. Drs M. Prentice and B. Sullman were 25 & 27. A motor cycle crash victim was left paraplegic after a misdiagnosed spinal injury was taken as a mild head injury, the doctor tried to "cover up" by altering medical notes. The claimant was awarded 435,000 pounds. In Sept. 1995 a woman sued Salford Hope Hospital when surgeons operated on her mouth when they should have been attending to her knee.
Dr. Crockett was found guilty by the GMC of trading in kidney transplants and making large profits from the transactions. In Argentine the records of some 200 people have been investigated under suspicion that some or all were killed in hospital and their organs sold world wide for transplant services. "Only a tiny minority of consultants are 'ripping off' the NHS " said Dr. McFarlane a consultant obstetrician. As these people can legitimately earn in excess of £135,000 per yr one feels that money rather than compassion must motivate them
18 out of 24 members of the Governments Medicines Commission which is responsible for monitoring the pharmaceutical industry receive some form of financial favour from the drug companies. Four multinational drug companies have been reprimanded for entertaining doctors with golf ,motor racing, boating and skiing trips in an effort to boost drug sales. A television producer said that the facts suggested that this abuse was widespread.
In Sheffield in 1985 some 200 doctors were asked to return more than 100,000 pounds fraudulently claimed for giving contraceptive advice to non existent patients. In one year the Medical Defence Union paid out 25,800,000 pounds in settlement of claims . In one a GP over prescribed malaria tablets by 700% causing stomach pains, vomiting, vertigo and impaired vision - all handicaps one could do without on a holiday. The development of drugs is an expensive business - and an illogical one. Instanced by the fact that a diuretic synthesised from dandelion depletes the potassium reserves of the body - but the dandelion is rich in potassium.
