"Does the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have access to the data it needs to make informed decisions on approving drugs, or are drug companies cherry-picking the studies they publish to make their drugs look better than they actually are?
A new report in Monday's PLoS Medicine questions whether doctors and patients are getting objective information about whether a medicine works. That's because more than half of studies on government-approved medications—presumably the ones that show a drug doesn't work—are never published, and those that are show disproportionately positive results."

This really doesn't surprise me. I can't stand that pharmaceutical big business B.S . I don't believe in the medication the spill out. I had a friend who was getting treated for depression with epilepsy pills. WHAT? I mean it's no wonder you sit through a commercial for some pill, and they spend the entire commercial listing the side effects.
HERE is a Cymbalta commercial.... "Depression Hurts"
and HERE is a Cymbalta VICTIM video "Cymbalta Hurts More"
This is very deep. It just proves that this is nothing but big business. Our healthcare system is a joke. I went to the doctor for a tiny back ache and left with 5 prescriptions of pain medicine including Vicodin and Flexarol. It's just a minor bache ache....JEEEEZ.
I feel it's important to look into natural ways of healing your body. Before you go to the doctor, take a look at what you're eating and fix it....because the FDA approves THAT processed shit too. =/
