EdwardBernays pulled this stunt many, many, many, many times during the 20th Century.

The time era we are in right now will in due course be recognized as the
era of the organized lie.

We need to remember here how the drug companies find new drugs to begin with. I learned this studying Holistic Nutrition, and it was verified by my pharmacist father.
You just take a current drug and alter it by only one molecule. WOW! We have a new drug now! To find how we can market the drug, we just put it in a study in some hospital, where an intern sort of does the study. We find the side effects, and now prescribe it to those who already have those side effects, so nobody knows! We don't perform a series of tests for safety (that could pinch profits). After all, the purpose of all of this is to make money! Helping people may only be a possible positive side effect and not really worth looking at as long as you have everyone snowballed into believing you're out for their best interest and that you really do have THE product they NEED to help them feel better. I personally believe that the Lord has a special place for such carpetbaggers!

QUACKERY and FRAUD.

This means that prescription drugs are nothing but quackery. Since these studies are fraudulent, the proof to back up the effectiveness of drugs is non-existent. Therefore medicine is quackery.

How many other studies were ghostwritten?

Here's another technique drug companies use -- when a study concludes that the drug doesn't work -- just hide the study, and only show studies with positive results to the FDA.
