The ALLHAT Study on Hypertension, Diuretics, and Lifestyle
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
The largest study ever done on how we should treat hypertension showed that thiazide diuretics and lifestyle are what was recommended. It exposes the mercenary nature of big pharma in promoting their new designer drugs that work no better than older approaches that are cheap.
The Art of Resting with Ofer Erez
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Sleep deprivation is common and shortens life. When overwhelmed, taking a break for a few minutes will allow your brain to shift and work more effectively. Taking many short breaks a day lead to more productivity and happiness.
The California Health Alliance with Russell Jaffe, MD
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
The purpose of California Health Alliance is to curb the epidemic of obesity and Type 2 diabetes in California. There has been an increase of 5% per year of diabetes in kids under the age of 5. We cannot afford the costs that will be generated from this epidemic. We must shift our health care model from disease care to health care.
The Effect of Uncertainty on Our Health and Well-being
submitted by: admin on 10/06/2020
When we don't know what action to take about important issues in our lives it can be quite unsettling. In the case of Covid 19, we are getting conflicting points of view from a wide range of sources of information that are supposed to be trusted. Do you trust the FDA, CDC, NIH, WHO, POTUS, the conspiracy theorists, or do you have your...
The FDA is Bragging that the US Approves Drugs Faster than Europe
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Americans last year got access to 24 new medications before they became available in Europe. User fees from drug companies made this possible; they now provide about 1/3 of all funding that the FDA gets. This sets up a serious conflict of interest for the FDA that makes them beholden to Big Pharma's wishes.
Far too many look alike drugs are...
The FDA's Criteria for Approving New Drugs Will Blow Your Mind
submitted by: admin on 02/09/2014
According to a Yale School of Medicine study published in the January 22, 2014 issue of JAMA, reviewed 188 drugs and technologies from 2005-2012 and documented that more than 1/3 of the drugs were approved not only on the basis of a single clinical trial, but also were often small, short, and involved surrogate metrics rather than clear clinical endpoints. It...
The Hydroxychloroquine Scandal
submitted by: admin on 06/06/2020
The Hydroxychloroquine Scandal
Dr. Len shares the scandal originally published by Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, and The Guardian, on the hydroxychloroquine articles published in the Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine on May 22, 2020. These "prestigious" medical journals published articles with data on 96,000 patients hospitalized from...
The Infection Deception ”Unanswered Questions about the Swine Flu Controversy
submitted by: admin on 01/11/2014
On Friday October 23, President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, plunging the H1N1 controversy ever more deeply into an Orwellian world of disinformation, fear, and confusion. The government’s program of swine flu vaccination was already the most ambitious of its kind since...
The Mammography Industry is Clinging to a Failed Test for Women Under Fifty
submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016
Let's face it. Mammograms are far from a perfect test, especially in women under the age of 50, and particularly in women with fibrocystic breasts. The United States Preventive Task Force no longer recommends screening women routinely for breast cancer with mammograms. There has been a flood of complaining from the American Cancer Society and the...
The Outrageous Cost of Health Care in America
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
We spend more on health care in the US than the next 10 countries combined and at the same time we're ranked last among industrialized countries. Go figure! The only way to "achieve" this is to treat health care as a business rather than a service. The $2.8 trillion we spend every year is great for the economy, but does not do much for...
The PolyPill: Can It Be Resurrected?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
The polypill is a brainstorm of the pharmaceutical companies to create a combination of drugs to make it convenient to take multiple medications. However, their real motive is to sell as much drug as possible. Consequently, they have done research under the guise of convenience but with the hope that they can convince the public and the medical profession to...
The Saftey of Newly Approved Drugs
submitted by: admin on 05/16/2024
We are guinea pigs whenever a new drug comes onto the market. This is especially true for drugs that are "fast tracked" through the FDA. Post approval clinical trials are required in this setting by the FDA from big pharma, but often they are not done. Older drugs that have been on the market for decades are generally better tested and safer.
The Tamiflu Deception
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Roche pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Tamiflu, has refused for 3 years to release key data from their Tamiflu research trial that "justifies" its use in influenza to the prestigious Cochrane Review. What are they trying to hide? Why has the FDA, CDC, and WHO endorsed using Tamiflu within the first 48 hours of symptoms of the flu when...

THE TRAGEDY OF AMERICAN HEALTHCARE
Len Saputo, MD
Introduction: The New Terrain of American Health Care
Over the past 25 years the practice of medicine has become a business, physicians have become employees, and patients have become commodities. Healthcare has become more standardized and doctors have been taught to treat “sets...
The True Role of Antidepressants in Healthcare with Meg Jordan, PhD, RN
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
SSRIs have been shown to be no better than placebo in a large metaanalysis. Psychiatry has taken a huge step backwards by turning to psychopharmacology. Treating symptoms rather than looking at the deeper causes of depression is naive except in rare occasions. Placebo is a powerful tool that evolkes the neurobiology of the body.
The US is Prescription Happy
submitted by: admin on 04/12/2015
Four billion prescriptions were filled in the US in the year 2011 and at a cost of $227 billion according to the World Pharmaceutical Market Summary.

The War Against Cancer, How Are We Doing?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Clearly, we're losing the "war against cancer." The incidence of cancer and survival has not changed significantly in the past several decades until we stopped the ubiquitous use of HRT. Environmental pollution, lifestyle, and genetics together have a lot to do with one's risk of cancer. We should be working on prevention rather than curing...

Transending Fear by Building Community
submitted by: admin on 03/09/2021
Out of confusion and frustration comes the opportunity to learn and advance in wisdom. It is too easy and tempting to fret about what is wrong with something, as we so often do when it comes to most every aspect of how Covid is being managed today. It is also easy and tempting to judge people for the decisions they make especially if they are different from our...
