Dispatches: The Drug Trial That Went Wrong
(UK) Channel 4 Television 28/9/06  9.00 pm -   Brian Deer was tough with the MHRA (Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency) and tried to talk to TeGenero (now insolvent)
http://www.tegenero.com/about_us/index.php but was stonewalled at every turn. TeGenero made the drug TGN1412 and Parexel http://www.parexel.com/ provided the clinics for the drugs trials. See also 'Drugs on Trial' website directory! http://www.drugsontrial.com/index.php?page=Directory&letter=P&searchmode=letter&dir=CRO

The MHRA, the UK’s regulatory agency for medicines, has a lot to answer for here. As you may recall, it came in for particularly damning criticism in last year’s Report by the Health Committee of the UK House of Commons on the ‘The Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry’ http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/uk/influence.html where it was described as having a poor history in recognizing drug risks, poor communication and lack of public trust. Hardly surprisingly, therefore, during the inquiry that led to the publication of the Report, the Committee became aware of serious weaknesses in the MHRA. In this respect, and as the Report stated, “in both its written and oral evidence the Agency seemed oblivious to the critical views of outsiders and unable to accept that it had any obvious shortcomings, except those that could be remedied by more transparency.” The Report also found that the MHRA’s attitude to its public health responsibilities “suggested some complacency and a lack of requisite competency, reducing our confidence in its ability to undertake the reforms needed to earn and deserve public trust.”
Sobering, isn’t it, that the Health Committee’s report has essentially been buried, and that its criticisms of the MHRA have proven to be so accurate?

The Big Picture -  Dr. Matthius Rath

It is sometimes difficult to understand the complex relationships that exist between the key international bodies, governments, trade associations and other entities concerned with health. Awareness of how these bodies fit together and their respective functions is, however, fundamental to understanding the bigger picture and the full extent of the threat to your health posed by this web of interest groups.

Australia:  NSW LEGISLATION TO BE DEBATED THIS WEEK TARGETS NATUROPATHS

A few days ago, the NSW Health Minister issued a press release that the state would be cracking down on 'shonky' health practitioners. This was taken up by the ABC, and the resulting news item link is here. 

It suggests that the original press release named as its primary areas of focus various types of naturopathy, including counsellors, massage therapists and herbalists. The key wording here is 'promise things they can't deliver'.

Here is that petition - spread it around!  http://www.wnho.net/fda_petition1.doc  So when the FDA  tells people the lie that aspartame is safe remember they know and have always known for over a quarter of a century.  They are now
guilty of the same crime they tried to have the manufacturer indicted
for, Title 18, Section 1001, lying to the public.
