Dr. John Briffa wrote a post worth reading on his blog today about the significant side effects of statin drugs, and the considerable effort pharmaceutical companies and the medical establishment spend trying to convince people that these drugs are safe.
Sadly, they've been largely successful. Some time ago a physician in the UK by the name of Dr. John Reckless (you can't make this stuff up) suggested that statins are so safe that they should be put ...

I want to get some Juno-inspired T-shirts printed up for researchers that say "What other kind of shenanigans can I get into?" Seriously. I cannot believe the stuff that gets published in medical journals these days.

The report is part of the National Institute of Mental Health-funded Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) project – the largest study of the treatment of depression conducted in the United States. It showed that findings from clinical studies used ...
Drugs comprise the major treatment modality of scientific medicine. A recent article in the New York Times revealed that over half of Americans regularly take prescription drugs for chronic health problems. Sadly, many people don’t realize that the drugs they’re taking could be making their condition worse.
