Pharmaceuticals Industry - It's "Backed By Science" TRUST US! – Dr.Berg

When something is billed as being backed by science, does that mean it’s trustworthy?

You may hear about something that’s reported to be backed by science. Or you may hear that the science is settled so we don’t need to keep examining (whatever it is) because we’ve done enough research. Like fats were bad but now they’re good. Or trans fats were okay but now they’re not.

Or certain drugs were called safe and effective but years later taken off the market.

I put a link below of 176 drugs that were considered safe and effective but are now off the market because they were found to be dangerous. They include:

●Accutane, which can cause liver damage
●DES
●Thalidomide
●Cylert for ADD and ADHD
●Permax
●PTZ
●Metrazol

I’d like to know how long these drugs were studied to determine if they were safe. But the main question to ask is, who is funding the study?

Sometimes it’s governments giving grants to universities. Others it’s the industry that funds universities. Then you have a few non-profits doing research.

Before 1970 the majority of research was done and paid for by the government. But now between 71 and 85 percent of research is done by industry. A lot of times the industry will partner with the government for research and development (R&D). You’re paying for it with your taxes.

Then drug companies mark up their products by a thousand percent, making massive amounts of profit. For example, one drug to treat Hepatitis C costs $84,000 for three months in the US. But in India, it’s only $500.

You and I get stuck with the bill for research. Then we allow the industry to pay certain people to sit on boards and committees that regulate guidelines in our health care. Of course not to mention medical journals which depend on industry money for their advertising.

But the worst is when the industry cherry-picks data but doesn’t have to publish the studies they rely on. JAMA, a medical journal, found that when industry funds study the results come out three to five times more positive for that industry.

Unfortunately what we’re missing in science is ethics.

Now you understand why when something is backed by science that you can’t always trust it.
