FYI

Highly recommended: Douglas Kennedy's hard hitting report on Fox News, a follow-up to yesterday's New England Journal report documenting pervasive Pharmaceutical company misrepresentation of clinical trial findings. See,http://youtube.com/watch?v=U2Sd73DQ2J0

Whereas the published "peer reviewed" journal reports would have doctors believe that 94% of the antidepressant drug trials found the drugs effective, those reports were manipulated by concealing the actual findings.That, as Eliot Spitzer, then NYS Attorney General, stated--is fraud.

When scientists under contract with manufacturers pen their names to deceptive reports based on partial data, they are engaging in fraud as well.

Such scientists are equally responsible for deceiving physicians who rely on journal reports to guide their prescribing, and they bear responsibility for the harm that was caused to consumers who were prescribed ineffective drugs.In the case of antidepressants, the serious risks of harm include anincreased risk of suicide.

We commend Lynn Michaels who (on short notice ) agreed to be interviewed and share her harrowing personal experience. She has struggled for 8 years trying to get off antidepressants--which she had been told were not addictive. If not addictive, why do so many people suffer severe withdrawal symptoms???

Doug Kennedy and Fox News are to be commended for a balanced report that gave consumers a voice. All too often, the media relies on "authorities"with vested interests, whose industry ties are mostly concealed, much as thenegative clinical trial data remains concealed.
