MEDICAL RESEARCH AND PRISONERS – HELL REVISITED

FROM YEARS AGO, TO THE 50'S-70'S, MEDICAL RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED ON PRISONERS BY VARIOUS RESEARCHERS AND MEDICAL-PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.  INMATES IN THE RESEARCH WERE EXPOSED TO CARCINOGENS, RADIOACTIVES, HALLUCINOGENS.  EASY TARGETS FOR SUCH WITH LIMITED RIGHTS, NEED FOR MONEY, AND THE GREED OF EXPANSIVE BIG PHARMA BUSINESS.  NOW IT APPEARS, AN EXPANDING REVISIT OF THE PROCESS IS OCCURRING. 

THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE ADVISORY PANEL HAS PROPOSED NEW GUIDELINES FOR SUCH ONGOING AND ACTIVE RESEARCH, NOW IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS – DRUG ADVERSE EVENTS

US Consumer Product Safety Commission and the CDC in a new compiled database show:

insulin, warfarin, amoxicillin, aspirin, trimeth-sulfa are the top five drugs of adverse reactions.

Not so surprisingly, about 54% of the total adverse events were UN-intentional, about 31% were adverse effects, and about 11% were allergic type reactions.  Only about 1/2 % were vaccine related.

An estimated 700,000 persons head to the ER for such problems.  Urgent cares not included.

CDC estimates that of the now 300 million Americans, about 130 million use medicines monthly.
