Control tactics
OK to use and promote untested and toxic drugs and medical procedures ....but Not OK for generally safe and efficacious natural foods and/or vitamins!
..."Only 6% of drug advertising material is supported by evidence...
...The article lists several examples of misrepresentation: medical guidelines from scientific societies are misquoted or changed, the side effects of drugs are minimised, groups of patient are wrongly defined, study results are suppressed, treatment effects are exaggerated, risks are manipulated, and effects of drugs were drawn from animal studies."....
...The authors warn that such a high amount of misinformation puts patients’ health at risk."...
Of course our regulatory bodies like Health Canada and their ilk look the other way. Gee wiz I wonder why?
Guess who likes, influences and supports our regulatory bodies to enforce these rules?
With friends like these who needs enemies?

Only 6% of drug advertising material is supported by evidence Heidelberg Annette Tuffs
A new study of the advertising material and marketing brochures sent out by drug companies to GPs in Germany has shown that about 94% of the information in them has no basis in scientific evidence.
The study, carried out by the Institute for Evidence-Based Medicine, a private independent research institute in Cologne, evaluated 175 brochures containing information on 520 drugs, which were either sent by post or handed out to 43 GPs since last June. The study was published in this month’s issue of the drugs bulletin Arznei Telegramm (2004;35:21-www.di-em.de/data/at_2004_35_21.pdf).
