Yeah that is not how we work, why know what it does as long as it is safe haha I agree 100% this is an massive issue, and many trails putting safe marks on medicine only tried them out for short a duration.
This might be a reason why many disease start to emerge in the west world, especially neurological ones, which is totaly centerd in USA / Europe.
"Doctors are on the frontline, autographing every prescription - and they have an ethical, moral, and I hope legal responsibility, to ensure that the drugs that they are prescribing are safe, effective, correctly advertised and risks shared with the patient"
This is not really the issue, there are legal obstacles to research patents and publish on others patents is hard! Doctors or scientists like my self can´t touch medicines for testing since it is the companies recipe.
Even if i knew 100% a certain medicine would give cancer i can´t do the science and publish this information, it is not legal. A doctor can only listen to the published information, the companies, and is bound by law to prescribe them if no alternatives is present, so it´s the other way around sadly.
Corruption is the problem here, as always, money makes the laws, politicians don´t give a shit. The result is a situation where you should NEVER eat medicine unless you are bound to die without it :)
Nice post!
"If tomorrow, every health practitioner started applying the information in The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease, the improvement in the health of the nation and the reduction in suffering would be unprecedented."

I am not very familiar with this publication, thanks for the tip :)

(OMNS Feb 15, 2014) Don't get bogged down by silly claims that multiple vitamins kill, or that antioxidants are bad for you. It is high time to take a look at the record, and review what published medical research actually has been saying for eight decades.

NO DEATHS !! From vitamins
31 years!

Orthomolecular should be the FIRST approach by any health practitioner unless the patient is suffering from some sort of accident or trauma. Few doctors address lifestyle, environment or eating habits in the course of diagnosis or treatment. It ends up that piling on chemical drugs in a system that is already possibly only suffering from a toxic overload can not lead to better health. Linus Pauling is my hero, I learned a great deal from his work.
A lot of great references
First of all, the orthomolecular data base rests strongly on the following areas of scientific knowledge: 1. nutrition, 2. biochemistry, 3. Cell biology, 4. physiology, 5, general medicine, immunology, 7. allergy, 8. endocrinology, 9. pharmacology, 10. toxicology, 11. gastroenterology, 12, parasitology, 13. nephrology, 14. physical medicine and manipulation therapies, 15. dentistry, 16. veterinary science, 17. food science, 18, agriculture, 19. climatology, 20. medical politics.
The following therapeutic modalities fit the definition of orthomolecular: 1. vitamins, 2. minerals 3. amino acids, 4. essential fatty acids 5, fiber, 6. enzymes, 7. antibodies, 8. antigens, 9. cell therapy, 10. chelation therapy, 11. dialysis, 12. plasmapharesis, 13. hydrotherapy, 14. thermal therapy, 15. phototherapy, electrotherapy (including electroconvulsive therapy), 17. air ion therapy, 18. light therapy, 19. solar therapy, 20. acupuncture, 21. massage, 22. exercise, 23. biofeedback 24. hypnotherapy and other psychotherapies.
All of the orthomolecular practice rests on a foundation of basic science advances in biochemistry, biophysics, physiology, psychophysiology and ecology. We do not eschew drug therapy or pharmacology; but we do recognize their limitations and their potential for toxicity. Orthomolecular knowledge gives greater choice of benefits for our patients id with less risk of adverse affects.
You're right. Corruption is the problem and sadly the mainstream media is on it. They make lot's of money selling airtime to big pharma customers. We still need doctors and scientists to speak out. Even anonymously on Steemit.
It's great to hear from a scientist. Thanks for being honest.
Indeed, thank you for some great reading!
The system is failing but succeeding
These drug thugs are making billions and we are dying by the millions
FDA APPROVED
vitamins and minerals
Not approved !! No deaths on 30 years
We have nutritional deficiencies from nature not drug deficiencies from science.
A commentary in the September issue of the American Journal of Medicine criticized the deficiency of nutrition education in medical training. Citing a 2013 report on US health that identified dietary factors as the single most significant risk factor for disability and premature death, we need to call for changes in medical school curriculum to address the deficit.
Pharmaceutical lobby is actually in the center of it. The thing that I know is true (based on my own experience) is that clinical and pre-clinical testings and trials do last a long time, and they actually do take everything in account. Even though in most cases doctors are not the so called "problem", there is a minority that works on their own agenda. For example (from my experience when I worked at a pharma company) there were doctors on a regular payroll to prescribe medication made by company that I worked for. And even if you do report them, corruptness of the society does its job silencing you in a most sophisticated way. The major problem is exploitation of drugs by the general public. (Every minor headache and regular Jane/Joe "pops a pill") So, we made a drug culture that is hard to stop. Saddest part of it, pharmaceutical companies make huge amounts of money on it. Most used drugs today are anti-depression (anxiety) drugs that are highly addictable, thus making the people that use it regular customers (Xanax, etc.) Only thing that makes me happy is that the world is starting to open their eyes, my generation doesn't lack critical thinking, so we need to be optimistic. Have a great day Sir!
Is that clinical and pre-clinical testings and trials do last a long time, and they actually do take everything in account, no! Far from, the most used pesticide ever, glyphosate, wasen´t even tried on humans..... it was tried 3 months on mice resulting in no cancer, thats it! independent studies show cancer after 6 months... this was 20 years ago we still eat and drink it daily.
We dont know how much of the medicine work so taking everything into account is not possible, all we do is accept certain side effects, if the disease is worse, do you think aids treatments and cancer treatments are safe ? lack side effects ? they are more lethal then the diseases are, just like many many other medicines. Guess who finds this out, the patients suffering massive side effects from it, not the trail subjects, eating a low dose for 7 weeks haha
Safe and effective treatment for AIDS and cancer
TSTO
Tetrasilver TetraOxide
Ag4O4
AgO3
Tetrasilver Tetraoxide AG4O4 is a total-specturm virucide which instantly electrocutes all virus in host organism.
Tetrasilver Tetraoxde is 100% NON-TOXIC to humans.
Anybody can make and use Tetrasilve Tetraoxide Ag4O4.
TSTO Ag4O4 is an ionic molecular compound known as an EJM, electron jumping molecule.
When introduced into a host organis, Ag4O4 is activated by Oxygen and Nitorgen in the blood stream - causing the ionic compound to seek balance, becoming covalent by releaseing the 'extra' electron thus creating a minute electrical charge which instantly electrocutes the HIV/AIDS virus and all viruses.
Albert Einstien College of Medicine's the late Dr. Marvin Antleman, famed inventor, author and rabbi is credited as a pioneer in HIV/AIDS science with his patented "Method of Curing AIDS with Tetrasilver Tetraoxide;" US Patent #5676977. Prior to his death in 2014, Dr. Antleman promoted the use of 200 miligrams of Tetrasilve Tetraoxide for curing HIV/AIDS at both his Rhode Island clinic and by donating at least six doses to AIDS ravaged Africa. Boyd Ed Graves travelled to Africa in 2007 with 70 doses of Tetrasilver Tetraoxide curing 70 terminally ill AIDS patients in Lusaka, Zambia. One year later, 63 had survived with full recovery and seven of the 70 had expired - though cause of death was not determined.
Boyd Ed Graves, became both the first American and African American to be cured of HIV/AIDS using Tetrasilver Tetraoxide in the method outline in his patent, US Patent #5676977, "Method of curing AIDS with Tetrasilver Tetraoxide." Before his 2009 assassination, Dr. Graves' infectious disease doctors at San Diego Veterans' Hospital officially released Graves from HIV care after three years of intense follow-up care in 2004.
For nearly fifteen years, Kansas based publisher, activist and founder of the National Organization for the Advancement of Humanity (NOAH), Joel Bales, has continuiously petitioned both individual medical doctors, policy makers and the medical establishment to recommend (or at the very least offer) TSTO as a first option for both newly diagnosed and long term survivors of HIV/AIDS.
"Realizing Tetrasilver Tetraoxide is a total-spectrum virucide that is completely non-toxic, can be produced and used by anybody and cost pennies on the dollar - it makes no sense why TSTO has not been celebrated and utilized world-wide," Bales said. "In 2002 Graves said the cure was being 'withheld for political reasons,' meanwhile people are dying and suffering under daily doses of toxic anti-retrovirals. It's 2016, H1N1, HPV, HIV, Syphilis and other human disease are still ravaging our populations. It is time people must be informed about the cure and have ability to access it."
In 1977, a secret federal virus program produced 15,000 gallons of AIDS. The record reveals the United States was represented by Dr. Robert Gallo and the USSR was represented by Dr. Novakhatsky of the diabolical Ivanosky Institute. On August 21, 1999, the world first saw the flowchart of the plot to thin the Black Population.
I wrote about this in my profile
Then there are the marketing companies like the "FDA" that do no real studies but can authorize the use of drugs such as Vioxx which was left on the market far too long when it was reported that people were dying from it. What was it? over 60,000 patients had to die before they finally pulled it? There are big problems right in front of us that few question. Sad situation isn't it?
