and placebo supplies to scientists whose research supports their interests. Red Bull sold 4. 6 million cans of its picker-upper last year presumably in large part to college students who wanted to use it as a mixer.
Red Bull often provides a placebo drink to researchers--after the company approves their protocols
--but as one psychologist told Livescience this means that there's no independent verification that the placebo doesn't contain stimulants like the active version of the Drink in an email to Popular Science Patrice Radden a spokesperson for Red Bull had this to say in response to Miller
The company did not respond to inquiries about the placebo they provide researchers or their methods for approving study protocols.
BTW big pharma is trying to stop a collapse in the industry by using the FDA to regulate the amount of time that you have to extract modify
Ironically Big Pharma is rapidly trying to get hooks into the industry and are creating new types of trophins
The FDA and Big Pharma are sucking each other off right now basically. Sad. You can still get the treatments done in Europe Mexico China and the Dominican.
Big Pharma the CDC and the FDA hide a lot of medical data. We may have advanced the most military
and big pharma cover up evidence of those early mistakes? To all who think that you have been given a straight answer to these issues you are being fooled.
and pharma to hide the evidence of their damage. This is not just limited to MMRS either.
and interests in Big Pharma. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT BY VACCINES. THAT IS A FACT. ARGUE ALL DAY IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE NUMBERS.
There is still not a single control study to settle the issue (control studies for vaccines are compared not against a saline placebo but against an already'established as safe'vaccine...
it would be like comparing ibuprofin to naproxen instead of to a sugar pill and then concluding it's safe
The claim of breach of ethics for withholding vaccines is not a valid argument as drug companies have no problem testing every other drug on participants
Antibiotics also came into play in the 1940's but that only treats bacterial critters and not viruses.
#FDA Aims To Reduce Use Of Antibiotics For Fattening Farm Animalsthe U s. Food and Drug Administration is asking veterinary drug companies to voluntarily agree to make it illegal to feed healthy animals some antibiotics.
If the antibiotic is on the FDA s list of drugs that are used related to drugs to fight infections in people including everything from bronchitis to urinary tract infections to Lyme disease to infections after surgeries then the agency is asking companies to stop their use for fattening up pigs chickens
and other animals people eat. The move is meant to reduce the amount of antibiotics farmers feed to food animals.
âÂ#Âoewith these changes there will be fewer approved uses for animal antibiotics and the remaining uses will be under tighter controlã¢Â# Michael Taylor the FDA s deputy commissioner for foods
and veterinary medicine said in a conference call for reporters. Scientists have warned long that the constant use of antibiotics in farm animals is a threat to human health
but U s. agencies haven't taken a lot of official action on the issue. After talks with industry folks FDA officials believe companies will comply with the new program.
which would require the agency to evaluate every antibiotic individually Taylor added. Critics of the program say it may not make much of a dent in how antibiotics are used on animal farms.
âÂ#Âoeeven if it were observed by the industry there s no guarantee that the usage profile for these drugs would changeã¢Â# Keeve Nachman who studies food production at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health tells Popular Science.
Nachman and other critics worry farmers and farming companies will simply switch from saying the medicines are for making animals grow to saying they're for preventing illness in animals.
For many antibiotics the dosages for both indications are similar. Why cut down on antibiotic use?
Concern about the rise of antibiotic-resistant microbes is the primary reason. Such microbes can give people diseases that no modern antibiotics are able to cure.
One recent U s. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report found that 2 million Americans get antibiotic-resistant illnesses every year
and 23000 Americans die from them. These illnesses evolved recently after decades of unnecessary antibiotic use among farmers doctors and patients.
On many farms animals eat low doses of antibiotics mixed into their food either to make them grow faster
or grow more on less food. It's not clear exactly why low-dose antibiotics fatten animals up
although one study done in mice hints that it's got something to do with changes to the animals'gut microbes.
Farmers and farming companies don t need prescriptions from veterinarians to get drugged feeds; they get them from feed stores.
but leave behind so-called superbugs that are able survive a round of antibiotics. The low doses used to promote growth are especially prone to leaving superbugs behind.
and years of antibiotic use and you eventually breed large populations of superbugs. Getting farms to stop using antibiotics unnecessarily would be a major step toward slowing the evolution of superbugs.
The argument now is whether the FDA s new program actually does this. Critics worry that farms will continue to use antibiotics widely
while complying with the FDA's request to the letter. This blog post from National Resources Defense Council lawyer Avinash Kar summarizes that argument.
The National Resources Defense Council has sued the FDA over the use of antibiotics in farm animals.
when companies agree to the new FDA program non-growth uses of antibiotics should require the equivalent of a prescription from a veterinarian.
âÂ#Âoeit s a big shift from the current situationã¢Â# in which animal antibiotics are available to farming companies over-the-counter Taylor said.
Others are not so sure veterinarians will act as good gatekeepers to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
Now a team of chemists say they've developed a way to verify that beans labeled as civet coffee are authentic.
They used gas chromatography and mass spectrometry both techniques that tell chemists what molecules appear in a sample to conduct a metabolomic analysis of the coffees.
Please up your dosage of Xanax. Now to the debunking. The earth can easily sustain the current population of 7. 1 billion.
My question to you is do you have antibiotics that kill resistant bacteria's and viruses?

#What debate? A recent draft of an international consensus report offers stronger-than-ever evidence that global warming is driven by human activity.
Paradoxically using drugs to kill off the Loa loa larvae can be dangerous because when large numbers of the larvae die in and around the brain they can block capillaries and cause encephalopathy a condition that can cause cognitive losses memory problems personality changes and more.
No doctor would treat me thought I was lying only wanting drugs forced me to see a psychiatrist mocked
Many of those other 600 studies were conducted by seed dispensaries. They sell the seeds so you can see why that would be beneficial to say they're safe.
Sincerely-Joehttp://www. joesid. comso TANGSTEN point us to a study not tainted by seed dispensary money that shows that GMO foods are measurably more dangerous than non-GMO foods.
Specific drugs that were found to cause harm and were banned subsequently did not trigger a blanket ban on ALL OF the same kind of medication.
For example while thalidomide was banned there was never a blanket ban on all anti-nausea medication. And the FDA never approved its use in the U s. at any time during the 5 years it was available.
It is possible that specific GMO foods in the future--ones not studied and certified yet--may turn out to be more harmful than their non-GMO counterparts.
Organovo's first biological product will be liver tissue for drug testing. Every year the pharmaceutical industry spends more than $39 billion on R&d.
According to the Food and Drug Administration liver toxicity is the most common reason for a drug to be pulled from clinical trials as well as from the marketplace after it's been approved.
There's still no reliable way to evaluate how a drug will affect the human liver before it's ingested not even animal trials.
A study published in October showed the mice predicted how well a drug for treating hepatitis C would be metabolized by humans.
Every drug taken orally whether a painkiller an anti-inflammatory or a new cancer pill must pass a liver tox.
People normally do a reaction purify the chemicals take the drug add it to cells look at the response formulate maybe do animals
and then go to humans says Lee Cronin a University of Glasgow chemist and nanoscientist developing a 3-D printer to manufacture medicine using chemical inks.
Instead of printing a test tube out of plastic to do chemistry in let's say we now print our test tube out of tissue
If bioprinted assays provide pharmaceutical researchers with better quicker data the entire drug-discovery process will accelerate.
in this case lets assume vaccines are placebos neither causing harm nor effective. Then look at the evidence to see
Big pharma and big Corp run our world now -and we are their play things...
But what guarantee is there that their âÂ#Âoeassurancesã¢Â# of vaccines now are any better than the now admitted risky alternatives back then that were peddled as âÂ#Âoemiracle drugs with no drawbacksã¢Â#Â?

#How To Detect Counterfeit Drugs Growing up in Pakistan in the 1980s Muhammad Zaman and his family always knew which pharmacy to trust
when they got sick. Today even the pharmacists don't know whom to trust. Just last year more than 200 people in Lahore died after contaminated cardiac medicines containing a toxic amount of an anti-malaria drug hit the city's supply.
More than a thousand got sick. The crisis of poor quality drugs is worst in the developing world where regulatory oversight is weak
and patients are desperate for affordable medicine. Consider this: The World health organization says that at least 10 percent to 30 percent of the pharmaceutical market in these countries is compromised.
Everybody in the developing world knows about this problem but nobody ever does anything about it says Zaman now a biomedical engineer at Boston University.
The bogus-drug trade isn't just a problem for the world's poorest patients:
but hardly a week goes by without federal health officials warning about fake Viagra Tamiflu Botox
Last year the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers about fakes of Adderall the attention-deficit-disorder drug which contained a powerful painkiller.
Now new technology verification systems and researchers like Zaman are working to make sure that the drugs people take are
Detecting dangerous or substandard drugs is generally difficult. Verifying a medication's manufacturing origin is simple only when it comes from a big international company with a tracking system in place and that's often not the case.
When health-care providers in the developing world can afford only drugs that don't have a built-in security network it takes valuable time
One common solution is Global Pharma Health Fund's Minilab an unwieldy system that requires the testers to mix chemicals in beakers
The liquid then runs onto a microfluidic chip the size of a postage stamp where it combines with a molecule designed to bind solely with the drug in question.
The process reveals how much of the drug is present and how quickly it dissolves and takes 15 minutes or less.
Some drugs are entirely fake snake oil sawdust chalk. But others particularly those in developing countries might contain an ineffective amount of medicine or release the right amount in the wrong way;
Pharmacheck is designed to recognize these drugs as well. Too strong a signal right away could mean that the medicine wasn't made properly
Too weak a signal means there might not be enough of the active ingredient to be effective (in antibiotics low doses could lead over time to drug-resistant microbes.
Some drugs are entirely fake. Others contain an ineffective amount of medicine. Meanwhile the FDA is ramping up deployment of its own handheld scanners
which detect changes in a drug's ingredients and packaging to help determine its provenance.
The FDA has about 30 CD-3 devices deployed at international mail facilities where counterfeit drugs slip into the country and more at other points of entry.
While not as sophisticated as Zaman's Pharmacheck CD-3 can't determine a pill's dose
or how it's released in the body FDA officials say the device is great for screening lots of drugs.
A group of chemists from St mary's College in Indiana and Notre dame has gotten into the detective game too.
Its convenient and still-unnamed product a lab on a piece of paper the size of a business card directly detects a drug's ingredients.
Each paper can detect one type of drug. Rub some crushed Tylenol or antimalarial on it for example dip it in water
and the results are rendered in colors. Users then send a photo of the paper to an automatic Web service for a real or fake response.
Some USA pharmacies do over charge for drugs where some people look else way in other countries for cheaper equal type drugs.
I do hope this helps those who buy overseas to receive safer correct drugs because the local pharmacies manufactures will not lower their prices

#Which Drugs Actually Kill Americans Infographic Death reporting in the U s. requires an underlying cause the event or disease that lead to the death.
That's where cocaine or antidepressants would show up. The subcategories are limited in their detail many drugs are lumped together like MDMA and caffeine
which are listed together as psychostimulants. And about a quarter of all overdose death certificates don't have the toxicity test results listed at all landing them in the unspecified stripe.
About half of those additional deaths are in the pharmaceuticals category which the CDC has written about before.
Nearly three-quarters of the pharmaceuticals deaths are opioid analgesics prescription painkillers like Oxycontin and Vicodin.
And while cocaine heroin and alcohol are all responsible for enough deaths to warrant their own stripes on the chart many popular illegal drugs including marijuana
if a person had listed multiple drugs on their death certificate they're being counted twice here.
when its got Marijuana lumped in with all of the truly dangerous drugs. MARIJUANA has caused NEVER a single case of overdose in all of human history.
Tobacco kills more Americans than all of these drugs+pharma=COMBINED!**400000 Americans killed by Tobacco each year.
Drug laws are divorced from reality. They only serve to support the drug trade. We cannot continue to lie to drug users
and expect them to take us seriously. They know better than anyone that all drugs are not bad and all pharmaceuticals are not safe either.
Why would our children listen to us if they think we are fools? Looks like Alcohol overdoses have doubled in the last few years as well.@
Taylorjusher That is because people are believing the lie that legal drugs are safe and illegal ones are dangerous.
while the reckless outlaws using overpriced contaminated incorrectly dosed illegal drugs are still alive and partying.
The elderly obese man had drugs in his system as he stepped in front of the bus that squished him running away from his angry wife with that machete.
More proof that the war on drugs is a wasteful fallacy. Absolute BS. I don't know where they got these statistics but
Alcohol and opioids like heroin have got to be the drugs causing the most death..The graph is anything but clear.
Auroria I agree that sugar is a drug and that is extremely unhealthy (I avoid it).
The only thing this graph really shows me is that pharmaceutical overdoses have increased quite a bit from 1999-2010between 1999 and 2010 the US population increased by 11%to 308 million.
In that same time green pharma related drug deaths increased from 2. 7 to 9. 9 per 100000 per year (1. 8cm by ruler to 6. 6cm where 25%=16. 6cm
FDA approved pharmaceuticals are by far the greatest and fastest growing source of overdoses and 2:
Something like Deaths by Drug Overdose Group by Drug would have been a billion times better. Please be more responsible.
That being said there are healthier methods of ingestion such as vaporizing tinctures and edibles. Those methods still can't yield a toxic response
What causes could contribute to an increase in pharmaceutical overdoses? Starting with the obvious (but there are plenty of other reasons:
1. This chart shows deaths caused by drug overdose. It does not show deaths from chronic health problems caused by drug use nor accidents (car crashes falls) nor suicides while intoxicated.
If all these other deaths were shown the death count for alcohol would be much much greater. 2. Overdose deaths from cannabis LSD magic mushrooms
People concentrate on illegal drugs when legal drugs kill many times more. In France Alcool is third biggest killer.
