It is the business model for new drugs that provokes Big Pharma to bury risks and exaggerate benefits. A new drug under patent has a high price and no competition, and will make millions or even billions every year it is under patent. A settlement for death or injuries down the road is a nuisance...

Developed at the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research at West Point, Pennsylvania, the first crude experimental vaccine was tested in chimpanzees, the only animal susceptible to the human hepatitis B virus. Later, the vaccine was tried on a small group of retarded children.

In fact, the results found that 92 percent of people with high cholesterol actually lived longer. The best way to achieve and maintain good heart health is not through medications but through healthy lifestyle habits.

Dioxin is an umbrella term for a class of super toxic chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, liver disease, immune system damage and many other health problems. There is no safe 'threshold' dose as our bodies have zero defense against dioxin, according to health consultant Jonathan Campbell.

What is more unknown is why drug ads that sowl hypochondria, raise health fears and "sell" diseases are often the most common - and effective - even when the drugs themselves are of questionable safety.

Pharmageddon is "the prospect of a world in which medicines and medicine produce more ill-health than health, and when medical progress does more harm than good" - and it is no longer a prospect but fully upon us.

Diseases that result from errors in the nucleotide sequence of a single gene are exceedingly rare. In fact, less than 1% of all diseases fall within this category

We need to challenge this orthodoxy, which is no easy task. Remember Linus Pauling: despite being a scientific genius, he was condemned just for suggesting that vitamin C could be a valuable therapeutic agent.

An emerging scientific fact about chemo is that it can trigger healthy cells to secrete proteins called WNT16B that encourage tumor growth and become resistant to treatment. The release of WNT16B into the extracellular fluid is absorbed by the cancer cells. They receive what is essentially a cellular superfood. Chemotherapy isn't only ineffective but may...

Mercury exposure triggered other immune responders called cytokines.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) contributes to illness in two distinct ways: 1) It makes food that is bad for us taste really, really, really good, in essence compromising our health by tricking our taste buds and intuition into eating things that are intrinsically harmful, or harmful when eaten excessively. 2) It is a toxic chemical that...

The new 203-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published online, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.

The prostate specific antigen (PSA) test commonly used to assess prostate cancer risk cannot reliably predict this risk in most cases. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended against screening men over the age of 74 for prostate cancer. Treatments for the disease can have severe side effects, including impotence and incontinence, and may...

Did you know there are only five known instances of dramatic decrease in mortality rates in communities worldwide? You know what these instances had in common? There was a doctor's strike. After they resumed their jobs, mortality rates quickly got back to their former level

Aspartame, the artificial sweetener found in many diet sodas and used as an alternative sweetener, has been found recently to have detrimental specifically, cancerous effects.

Drug makers simply would not profit if the world were to awaken to the plethora of free health-promoting substances that beat out over-priced pharmaceuticals and medical interventions

Even as the FDA has for decades routinely given a seal of approval to toxic and deadly medications and vaccines, claiming they are safe, and as hundreds and thousands of people, if not millions, have died or have been permanently injured as a result of their incompetence and gross dereliction of duty, this agency continues...

After 40 years, it looks like cancer is still winning the war. It's not surprising folk are beginning to question the tactical wisdom employed by the home side.

The fact is, people don't want to take a chance, because they've been brainwashed into believing that the only medicine that works for sickness and disease is chemical medicine made in a laboratory and approved by the FDA and CDC. Big mistake. Huge mistake.

If even just a little too much can kill you, what is the regular dosage doing to your body? It is important to remember that there have been more deaths from painkillers than cocaine and heroin combined.

The further irony here, of course, is that the FDA has often approved drugs that are outrageously unsafe, causing so many deaths that they are subsequently pulled from the market and banned.
