Hotshot. A supplement scam with a difference?
Jump to follow-up The "supplement" industry is a scam that dwarfs all other forms of alternative medicine. Sales are worth over $100 billion a year, a staggering sum. But the claims they make are largely untrue: plain fraudulent. Although the industry’s advertisements like to claim "naturalness". in fact most of the synthetic vitamins are manufactured by big pharma companies. The pharmaceutical industry has not been slow to cash in on an industry in which unverified claims can be made with impunity. When I saw advertised Hotshot, "a proprietary formulation of organic ingredients" that is...

Pie in the sky!
The lovely smart people atKomen have announced their new goal: To reduce breast cancer death ' s by 50% in the next decade. Um, this makes me think of theDeadby2020 people. Its so logical to to just come up with a great, yet unattainable, goal that makes an awesome headline so you get great publicity to get more donations for this unrealistic idea. Its all about the headlines. This is how the PR machines crank out buzz. Seriously. I used to work in marketing and PR and this is what they do. Now the organizations may think they are reasonable goals but if you think about them, they aren ' t. Can an organizati...

Oh So Quietly, Evidence of Bad Health Care Corporate Leadership Accumulates - Three AstraZeneca Settlements
While the news media is distracted by seemingly more spectacular issues, we hear the steady drip, drip, drip oflegal cases suggesting just how systemically bad the leadership of big health care organizations is.  From February 2015 to now, for example, there have been three cases involving multinational pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca.Settlement of Allegations of Kickbacks to Give AZ Drugs Preferred Status in FormulariesFirst, in February 2015, reported in most detail by Ed Silvermanin the Wall Street Journal,AstraZeneca has agreed to pay the federal government $7.9 million to settle allegations the drug maker paid k...

Considering Age Reversal Therapeutics
Age Reversal Therapeutics is an initiative launched by quite the varied set of people: leaders from the "anti-aging" marketplace's Life Extension Foundation, a SENS Research Foundation researcher, a selection of biotech industry veterans, a practitioner of anti-aging medicine, and a reputable genetics researcher quite well known in our community. Strange bedfellows indeed - a meeting of many houses of the broader community interested in aging, houses that typically don't have much to do with one another, and indeed in some cases don't think much of one another. The basic plan here is to raise money from investors and then ...

Hypocrisy Alert: Nevada Health Official Blasts Vaping Industry for Spreading Misinformation, Then Claims Vaping is Known to Cause Cancer
In anarticle published Sunday in theLas Vegas Sun, a health official blasted the e-cigarette companies for spreading misinformation. She is quoted as saying:" We are dealing with a (vapor industry) marketing machine that spits out misinformation. "In the article, that same health official is quoted as stating:" At the end of the day, what comes off an electronic cigarette is an aerosol that we know causes cancer.

EpiPen may still be too cheap
Good stuff, cheap Pick up a newspaper or surf the web and you’ll find story after story taking Mylan to task for EpiPen pricing practices. The list price of a 2-pack has soared from about $100 to $600 over the past decade. The price is deemed too high and the rate of increase is considered particularly unconscionable. Let me offer a brief counterargument: EpiPen is worth the price. A $300 pen regularly rescues children from anaphylactic shock that would otherwise be fatal, offering them the chance to live to 100 instead of dying at 10. (About 20% of patients need a second dose, which is why these devices ar...

Food the Forgotten Medicine: More bait and switch from the “ College of Medicine ”
‘We know little about the effect of diet on health. That’s why so much is written about it’. That is the title of a post in which I advocate the view put by John Ioannidis that remarkably little is known about the health effects if individual nutrients. That ignorance has given rise to a vast industry selling advice that has little evidence to support it. The 2016 Conference of the so-called "College of Medicine" had the title "Food, the Forgotten Medicine". This post gives some background information about some of the speakers at this event. Quite a lot has been written here about the ...

Do Desperate Consumers Believe Cancer Drug DTC Ads?
In a recent NYT OpEd piece, Matt Jablow, whose wife died of lung cancer, called the TV ads for BMS's cancer drug Opdivo"utterly misleading and exploitive" and said that if BMS really wishes to thank patients like his wife who participated in the Opdivo drug trials, it should pull the ads (read the OpEd piecehere).The Opdivo ad had already been criticized during an investor conference call by a Deutsche Bank analyst who questioned the value of direct-to-consumer (DTC) ads to promote Opdivo (here). Of course, the analyst was more concerned about BMS wasting money on ads that would have no effect on the sales of...

Star Trek Tricorder
Do you remember the Star Trek Tricorders? No not the phasers (always set to stun) but the tricorders that could diagnose people instantly of cancer or all sorts of other ailments. Dr whatshisname had one. I would love it if they were available to diagnose me and skip all the medical misadventures that make our lives so ' fun ' . But it is really possible? I don ' t know at this point. Google ' s biotech section, Verily , said that they could develop one in six months. That was three years ago and it still doesn ' t exist. (Who woulda thunk?)  And based on what has been said by a former employee that if employees said...

Foracare TN ' G Voice Meter: Great Option for PWD ' s With Visual Impairments (others, too!)
I pretty much limit my diabetes blogging these days, except when I think there ' s something REALLY important or unique to share, although much of what I began with now has several nonprofits and organizations to advance the issues.  Most of my diabetes-related stuff these days can be found on my Twitter feed, which is updated pretty much daily.  Still, when I need more space to share information, this blog is still where I turn. As I last blogged a few weeks ago (see http://goo.gl/mi5nEm for my post), I was very sorry when my good friend Kitty Castellini passed away, not from diabetes or diabetes-related issue...
