Stay skeptical about drugs

Clinical trials of drugs and other medical therapies are carefully carried out and are the very gold standard of scientific proof, right? According to an in-depth review of this question just published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) the answer is no. In fact, the BMJ showed that data reported by scientists is too often not the truth – because the researchers leave out inconvenient evidence. The result of facts-gone-missing could well be harming patients, spiking up healthcare costs by the selling of treatments based on bogus findings, and threatening the very integrity of medicine. Ed. Note: The stakes are high, and so are drug maker’s profits – so shouldn’t we remain skeptical about drugs? Source: naturalnews.com/034577_quack_science_clinical_trials_BMJ.html#ixzz1iiHOeNq3
