A new analysis has found that the makers of antidepressants such as Prozac and Paxil never published the results of about a third of the drug trials that they conducted to win government approval. This has led to a misleading perception of the drugs’ true effectiveness.
When only published trials are considered, about 60 percent of people taking the drugs report significant relief from depression, compared with roughly 40 percent of those on placebo pills. But when the less positive, unpublished trials are included, the drugs only outperform placebos by a very modest margin.
While 94 percent of positive studies found their way into print, only 14 percent of those with disappointing or uncertain results were published.
I used to work at a law firm as a paralegal for a partner who did clinical trial agreements.

To say at this point that I am fed up with this kind of ludicrous control over innocent people’s lives leading them to a certain early death and robbed of a decent lifestyle and happiness that we all hold on to dearly as the very rights that were endowed to us by our creator would be the understatement of the century!
As a Clinical Herbalist I can assure you that the majority of health problems that are presented to me from patients are those that were caused from 100% legal FDA approved and blatantly pushed on TV Pharmaceutical drugs. Many questions are finally answered (No, you don't need to buy some stupid book!) like: " So where did all these drugs come from?", " Why is cancer treated with d
