| Jul 14, 2008 | Widespread Ghostwriting of Drug Trials Means "Scientific" Credibility of Pharmaceutical Industry is a Sham Widespread Ghostwriting of Drug Trials Means "Scientific" Credibility of Pharmaceutical Industry is a Sham by Mike Adams (see all articles by this author) (NaturalNews) The discovery that drug companies have been ghostwriting scientific studies using in-house writers, then paying (bribing) doctors and high-level academics to pretend they were the author of the article is making shockwaves across conventional medicine. This latest revelation of scientific fraud exposes a massive, widespread system of fraud involving not only the drug companies, but also hundreds of different peer-reviewed, "scientific" medical journals that have published these ghostwritten articles. This scam is the latest embarrassment to conventional medicine; a system built on such a foundation of scientific fraud that the admission of dishonesty no longer surprises anyone. The pharmaceutical industry, it seems, is now supported almost entirely by fraudulent science fabricated by marketing personnel.Remember, it is these studies -- the very ones now discovered to be ghostwritten by Big Pharma's in-house authors -- that the FDA uses to approve these drugs, unleashing them onto the public where potentially hundreds of millions of doses of the drug may be sold in just the first few years of its approval. But what we're learning now is that the whole system is an elaborate scam. For these studies, there's no real science involved at all. [full story] |
| Jul 13, 2008 | The clinical trials supporting the efficacy of pharma drugs which now (in many cases) are exposed to be fraudulent (pharma staff ghostwriters) do not support the "claims" made by the manufacturers. ---------- Forwarded message ----------From: Andrew McGivern <andrewmcgivern@gmail.com>Date: Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 2:43 PMSubject: Pharma Ghostwriters....To: Undisclosed-Recipient The Pharmaceutical Industry is asking for immunity from public lawsuits for damages caused by their products but at the same time the Natural Health Products Industry is under increased scrutiny for supposedly being dangerous and untested. Natural Health Products have a virtually unblemished history of being safe and are generally not toxic. The clinical trials supporting the efficacy of pharma drugs which now (in many cases) are exposed to be fraudulent (pharma staff ghostwriters) do not support the "claims" made by the manufacturers. Why would an independent clinical trial at the University of Alberta testng a natural product called EMPower Plus be shut down by Health Canada? The preliminary results showed that EMPower Plus was far more effective than the pharmaceutical status quo treatment for Bipolar Affective Disorder and without the need of ghost writers. -Andrew [full story] |
| Jul 11, 2008 | “I just wonder: If the AMA can't keep its own president alive, what chance does the system of medicine it advocates have of keeping anybody else alive? (And yes, Dr. Davis' health is highly relevant here. Questioning the relevance of C51 and C52… isn’t there something better we should be doing? When the facts are made clear, why are we misdirecting government resources to the wrong ends, when millions of Canadians and Americans are being hurt by an obviously hurtful pharmaceutical industry, which is rampantly out of control? At what point is money more powerful than democracy? When governments studiously avoid the will of the people, what happens next? Did you know that: Gross Negligence on behalf of government officials, and our elected representatives = FRAUD?? In both the United States and Canada? What If: It only takes a few people waking up to this, to change a corrupted course of events. Excerpt: As a side note, the president of the American Medical Association has just been diagnosed with stage-4 pancreatic cancer at age 52. Not surprisingly, he's chosen to poison himself with chemotherapy, calling it "treatment" for his cancer. This so-called "treatment" has a 5% survival rate, by the way, and that's if you believe the drug company hype, 3% more well-accepted statistic. “I just wonder: If the AMA can't keep its own president alive, what chance does the system of medicine it advocates have of keeping anybody else alive? (And yes, Dr. Davis' health is highly relevant here. If you lead a medical organization and you, yourself, die of a completely preventable disease at the young age of 52, it speaks volumes about the failure of the system of medicine you advocate...)” [full story] |

The warning is contained in a report from the Council of Canadian Academies that will be released publicly today. It is one of the most authoritative to date in this country about the risks of engineered nanomaterials, which companies are adding to products ranging from sunscreens to diesel fuels. [full story] |

| Jul 4, 2008 | Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce released a Discussion Draft of the "Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2008." FDA Globalization Act of 2008: Fees, Fees, and More Fees Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce released a Discussion Draft of the "Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2008." The “Discussion Draft is meant to stimulate discussion about how to provide adequate funding and authority for FDA to ensure safety of . . . food, drug, medical device, and cosmetic” products, according to a memorandum accompanying the draft legislation. The Energy and Commerce committee intends to hold hearings and to markup the draft in the next few weeks. The Discussion Draft contains comprehensive language that addresses the safety of food, drugs, devices, and cosmetics as well as a number of general provisions relating to the agency. Although the draft may undergo significant change during hearings and markup, there are several noteworthy provisions. The draft proposes an annual registration fee of $2,000 for food facilities operating in the U.S. or exporting food to the U.S., would require labeling to identify the country-of-origin of foods and whether certain foods have been treated with carbon monoxide, and would provide FDA with mandatory recall authority. With regard to drugs and devices, the draft proposes a registration fee to cover the cost of drug and device inspections, and would require country-of-origin labeling. The draft also would require cosmetic facilities to register with the FDA at a cost of $2,000 per facility and require adverse-event reporting for cosmetics. Finally, the draft proposes to increase the capacity of FDA to monitor foreign facilities. [full story] |
| Jul 4, 2008 | the latest threat to our health freedom: the “FDA Globalization Act,” sponsored by anti-supplement Congressmen Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and supported by his colleague Rep. Henry Waxman. The President’s DeskThe Latest Threat to Health Freedom By Robert Watson, President/CEO Recently a press release issued by the National Health Federation alerts us of yet another attempt by Congress to take away your right to purchase affordable nutritional supplements. The National Health Federation is a well-respected organization that has been on the side of health freedom for more than five decades. Established in 1955, it is an international consumer-education, health-freedom organization working to protect individuals’ rights to choose to consume healthy food, take supplements, and use alternative therapies without government restrictions. With consumer members all over the world, and a Board of Governors and Advisory Board containing representatives from 7 different countries, the Federation is unique as being the only consumer health-freedom organization in the world to enjoy official observer status (able to speak out for health freedom) at meetings of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the highest international body on food standards. The NHF press release outlined the latest threat to our health freedom: the “FDA Globalization Act,” sponsored by anti-supplement Congressmen Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and supported by his colleague Rep. Henry Waxman. An identical bill will be sponsored by Senators Kennedy and Durbin in the Senate. [full story] |

Not a word about genetically engineered herbicide resistant ---------- Forwarded message ----------From: Croft Woodruff <croft.woodruff@gmail.com>Date: Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 9:02 AMSubject: Bee Colony CollapseTo: Celsias <craig@celsias.com>According to documentary about Bee Colony Collapse (BCC) just aired on KCTS (Seattle, WA.) PBS-TV station - researchers are concerned about viruses, pesticides and mono crops as probable causes. Not a word about genetically engineered herbicide resistant crops such canola, soybean, and cotton or insect toxic BT Corn.Not a mention that genetic engineering uses foreign proteins and viruses (of unknown potential toxicity to the Bee) to vector the desired genetic traits into to the targeted crops. Certainly BT Corn is toxic to insects and by definition BT Corn pollen must be toxic to the Bees. As far as the 'experts' blaming BCC on viruses - viruses have no effect unless the infected host organism has such a weakened immune system the virus is able to replicate to a critical point that overwhelms and destroys that host. Toxins genetically engineered into pollen could be the cause. [full story] |
| Jun 20, 2008 | WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Research misconduct at U.S. institutions may be more common than previously suspected, with 9 percent of scientists saying in a new survey that they personally had seen fabrication, falsification or plagiarism. Subject: Survey suggests U.S. research misconduct is common Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:03:53 -0700 From: Croft Woodruff <croft.woodruff@gmail.com> Survey suggests U.S. research misconduct is common Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:04pm EDT By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Research misconduct at U.S. institutions may be more common than previously suspected, with 9 percent of scientists saying in a new survey that they personally had seen fabrication, falsification or plagiarism. The survey of 2,212 mainly biomedical scientists at 605 universities and other research institutions, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, also showed that researchers are very reluctant to report bad conduct. Thirty-seven percent of cases of suspected misconduct were never reported to the institution involved for investigation, perhaps due to fear of reprisals for turning in a colleague or a desire to protect the flow of research money. "There's more misconduct, or potential for misconduct, out there than probably anyone has appreciated before. And a good part of that goes unreported," James Wells, director of the Office of Research Policy at the University of Wisconsin who helped conduct the survey, said in a telephone interview.

Why, with the majority of the Conservative caucus almost in revolt over Bill C-51 does Stephen Harper and whoever is directing his “Bush” imitation agenda still day after day list it for debate? Dear Trueman Tuck, Thursday Night June 19th 2008 From Trueman Tuck, Leader of the Republican Party of Ontario Health Freedom Update RE: Friday, June 20th 2008 Canadian Parliamentary Schedule, the Conservative Leadership has again listed Bill C-51 as item number 5 for debate tomorrow [see below for Order Paper for Friday June 20th 2008 “THEY” sure defy reason. Why, with the majority of the Conservative caucus almost in revolt over Bill C-51 does Stephen Harper and whoever is directing his “Bush” imitation agenda still day after day list it for debate? Well here we go again. At least tomorrow should be the last day of this session of Parliament and Bill C-51 is scheduled as number 5. There is not much time allotted for Bills and hopefully with out “E-Protest SURGE” continuing overnight we can continue the pressure on the Conservative LEADERSHIP not to debate Bill C-51 tomorrow. “THEY” will then be gone until at least Mid September and we need to legally force the cancelation of the Natural Health Product Regulations by then. The cancellation of the unlawful and unenforceable Natural Health Product Regulations combined with our campaign to try and get an MP to introduce our new and improve Bill C-420 upgrade now called “The Human Health and Safety Act” should eliminate “THEIR” scheme to pass Bills C-51 and C-52. .

Dear Trueman Tuck, Friday Night June 20th 2008 from Trueman Tuck, Leader of the Republican Party of Ontario Friday’s Health Freedom Update in regards to today’s’ events in the Canadian Parliament. Victory is ours today at 1:33 PM when the Canadian Parliament adjourned for the summer without debating and or passing Bill C-51. This has been the largest grassroots’ “Cyber Protest” in Canadian history. Our estimate is that between April 8th to June 20th 2008 in this skirmish with the Bilderbergers and their “Enablers” in the Canadian Prime Minister’s and Privy Councils Offices, our “E-Freedom Warriors” mounted a “SURGE” of over 1,000,000 e-mails, visits, phone calls, attendances at rallies, etc. Thank you to all of you that helped energize and motivate our Health Freedom Movement to fight for their sovereign human being Rights of Choice. Bill C-51 was not debated and / voted on today thanks to the procedural tactical moves of the opposition parties. Thank you opposition parties for not allowing the ill-conceived, anti-Constitutional and undemocratic Conservative Bill C-51 to pass second reading. [full story] |

If you are in Canada, but not in Ontario please go to www.republicanpartyofcanada.ca and join, we are not a registered federal party yet, but certainly based upon how Bill C-51, Bill C-52 and the Natural Health Product Regulations are being handled by the Conservatives, we need to change our Health Freedom Movement into a “Freedom of Choice” Peoples’ rights party.

"These bureaucrats are comfortably indifferent to the tens of thousands of Canadians annually who die or suffer adverse effects from the legal drugs they so blithely permit. Almost every day Canadians are informed of studies or reports that find some approved prescription drug or another doesn’t work or causes serious adverse effects. About these things Health Canada does nothing. The hypocrisy of Health Canada on product safety is obscene." Indeed we are to take it that Health Canada is here to protect us! If killing so many people is their idea of the efficacy of regulation then why in their warped mind regulating innocuous products, that are even safer than foods, should be as important as drugs??? With friends like these who needs enemies? If this is how regulation works then who need it? "People would not be turning to non-drug and "non-standard" health solutions -- if the essentially-free, publicly-insured "proper medical care" really worked. It's because of the medical system's failure to cure "chronic" disease and the massive adverse reactions and deaths that Canadians are voting with their pocketbooks for other approaches."

The issue’s debut is disrupting a lot of agendas. Dear Honourable Tony Clement: You were blindsided by the vigorous public response against Bill C-51s impact on natural health regulation, Mr. Minister. The issue’s debut is disrupting a lot of agendas. You’ve been getting an earload on this from every direction including your caucus colleagues. This didn’t have to happen. Health Canada knew what the public reaction would be. They didn’t warn you though, Mr. Minister. Instead, they set you up to take the heat. They were counting on your defensive reflex to lock you in to their project. Given this, we are encouraged to learn that you are open to a fresh consideration of this matter. Unfortunately, your consultations thus far have been tainted by favoritism. [full story] |
| Jun 13, 2008 | There is no better Member of Parliament Friend of Freedom than Dr. James Lunney MP - see his speech Food and Drugs Act The House resumed consideration of the motion that Bill C-51, An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, be read the second time and referred to a committee. [Table of Contents] Mr. James Lunney (Nanaimo—Alberni, CPC): Mr. Speaker, it is fair to say that Bill C-51 has attracted a fair bit of attention. We have been debating it again today. Bill C-51 is an act to amend the Food and Drugs Act and to make consequential amendments to other acts. Needless to say, the Food and Drugs Act definitely needs updating. It is an old act. It goes back to about 1934. It has had a few tweaks along the way, but certainly it is time for some updates to the Food and Drugs Act. There are some good provisions in the bill, that is for sure, including life cycle monitoring of pharmaceutical drugs and mandatory reporting of adverse events. These are very positive things that need to be done because there are serious concerns about these products. The public response overwhelmingly on the negative side has been over concerns about what will happen to the natural health products industry under the regulations. In illustrating some of those concerns, I wish to make reference to a letter that I received recently from a number of very distinguished and concerned scientists, which illustrates the concerns that are out there. I received this letter on May 4. It is a copy of a letter to the minister and states: [full story] |

Definitely we need to do everything possible to defeat Tony. We helped defeat Dingwall in 1997 and Allan Rock worked with us. It took two tries but we helped defeated Anne McLellan. I have a great approach to any politician we want to get, I will go to Parry Sound and area for the last two weeks of the federal election campaign [subject to funding] and run against Tony for the Republican Party of Canada [see www.republicanpartyofcanada.ca]. I run in my local Provincial and federal elections for a number of times just to get our issues out in the open where even the mainstream media is forced to deal with our “Different Viewpoints” and it has worked really well. Can you image at the all candidate meetings with me and Tony eye-ball to eye-ball with media present, especially since I sued him and will again shortly. [full story] |
| Jun 13, 2008 | Now it appears that the Liberals are now starting to question this hasty and poorly designed Bill C-51 – see letter below Canadian Coalition for Health Freedom [CCHF] Update Thursday evening June 12th 2008 A Message from Trueman Tuck, I was in Ottawa on Monday June 9th and Tuesday June 10th 2008 Lobbying and educating Members of Parliament and their staff on why we need Bills C-51 and C-52 and the Drug Sub-class Natural Health Product Regulations rescinded immediately. Thank you all for the excellent efforts of everyone involved in this historic Health Freedom Campaign. Senior officials in Ottawa told me that they had never seen a grassroots’ uprising of such a scale involving the entire country before. As a Health Freedom Movement all of us need to thank the NDP for having stopped the Conservative schemes to fast track Bill C-51 though second reading. It is the NDP House Leader’s refusal to agree to consent to second reading without a formal debate and vote that opened up this week’s excellent discussion. The Conservative Leadership was at the beginning of the week still trying to control which Conservative would speak to Bill C-51 and what they would say. Now it appears that the Liberals are now starting to question this hasty and poorly designed Bill C-51 – see letter below and need to be encouraged to not allow rushed, ill-conceived and flawed Bill C-51 to pass second reading – see links below. The Conservative Leadership is still determined to force Bill C-51 though as soon as possible. It is again scheduled for debate tomorrow.
