I find the multinational pharmacological industry really repulsive and in some cases tragic. I am surprised it is not more widely news worthy for its abuses. Some of those guys need to go to prsion to stop them.
Transparency of their so called drug trials is a major issue.
The UK Health Research Authority wants all drug trials to be registered in future. But this is unlikely cos of the clout of these people. (At present they are engaged in a Judicial Review to try and stop this).
In the past they have often been erasing out trials that are negative to their interests. Hence the public are given a false impression of a drug appearing to work better and more safely than it in fact does.
Also all drugs have side effects, and this is rarely underlined.
Naturopaths are regularly lampooned in the press that supports such ”bad science”.
Their drugs also often peddle false hope. Human beings – sometimes I feel like giving up on them!
