It was an FDA researcher's epidemiological study of 1.4 million patients that proved to be Vioxx's Waterloo. There, I said it. The FDA drove the final nail in the coffin, which ultimately sealed Vioxx's fate. But that doesn't change the fact that in the 4-and-a-half year span of time between 1999 (when concerns were first raised about the drug) and late 2004 (when the medication was pulled from the market), the FDA either blithely looked the other way when it came to this deadly drug or exercised the regulatory equivalent of shooting rubber bands at a tank! Not that this surprises me, given the agency's history - just look how they bungled the recent pediatric antidepressant situation: First ignoring it, then defending it, then finally investigating. And now, on the heels of this scandal, they're facing Congressional fire for the Vioxx scandal. Good. They deserve it. Why? Because the Food and Drug Administration is a mess, that's why. It doesn't do what it's supposed to do (protect us from killer drugs), and it does what it isn't supposed to do (facilitate drug makers' profits at the cost of our lives). This latest Vioxx fiasco isn't a revelation; it merely shows us this condition in Technicolor. Case in point: According to the New York Times piece I was summarizing in the last Daily Dose, the FDA... * Ignored its own authorities, who for years raised questions about Vioxx's possible heart risks - including one " red flag " review from BEFORE THE DRUG WAS EVEN APPROVED * Failed to act decisively even after a 2001 conference convened specifically to assess Vioxx's risks concluded that there WAS cause for concern - instead they simply agreed on the need for " more studies " * Barely slapped Merck on the wrist (they sent the drug giant a LETTER - Oooh) for glossing over Vioxx's risks in the drug's extensive marketing campaign * Nixed a proposal for a study to specifically measure Vioxx's heart risks, citing vague logistical and ethical roadblocks On the other hand, the FDA DID require Merck to put a warning label on the product for those with heart conditions, and of course, it also conducted the study that finally toppled the drug. See what I mean when I say the agency is at war with itself? And yet, even with the Vioxx story plastered all over the headlines, the FDA continues to shoot itself in the foot over arthritis drugs.

According to an Associated Press online report, the expert was notified of his booting by an FDA official on Veteran's Day - while the agency's doors were CLOSED for the holiday. Odd, huh? A spokesperson for the FDA told the AP that such occurrences are common when there are concerns about conflicts of interest. What conflicts of interest? Oh, perhaps the fact that this expert - a Wake Forest School of Medicine Professor - was about to present research that ANOTHER popular arthritis drug poses heart risks nearly identical to those proven to be associated with Vioxx... And that just won't do for the FDA's image, will it? During the February conference, the remaining advisors will review all the available evidence on this class of medications (except, of course, this key expert's damning evidence implicating another multi-billion dollar drug), including confidential results of several unpublished trials. I, for one, am very interested in what their conclusions will be.

Arthritis responds well to essential fatty acid supplementation, although in my opinion, it would take more than just the n-3s in flax oils to do the job effectively because many people (especially those who are very ill) do not have the ability to convert it into a form which can be readily metabolized. There needs to be the correct anti-inflammatory combination of omega 3, 6 and 9 to alleviate joint pain. Visit: http://www.udoerasmus.com Udo's Choice (Certified Organic) Perfected 3, 6, 9 Oil Blend Ingredients The label reads as follows: Organic flaxseed oil; nourishes the ligaments and tissues around bone organic sunflower seed oil; organic sesame seed oil; High B Vitamin Content and Lecithin rice and oat germ oils; medium chain triglycerides (MCTs); organic evening primrose oil;preformed GLA lecithin (guaranteed GMO-free); vitamin E; antioxidants (tocotrienols); and rosemary oil. Udo's is a fine combination of oils which I find quite fabulous for healing, and this includes arthritis and Raynaud's as well. In fact many illnesses are caused by an imbalance of n-3s and n-6s which is so prevalent in the Standard American diet of processed refined devitalized foods (the ratio is literally 30 to 1 in some instances in favor of omega 6 oils which are highly inflammatory!. Udo has sourced out these natural components in just the correct ratio in order to provide a more healthy balance of n-3s,n-6s and n- 9s. If you do the research you will find this balance has been found to benefit more than one illness. I would venture to say that every one including cancer has responded well to this essential oil blend. Udo himself overcame debilitating illness this oil combination. He formulated it for himself, actually. Just read the comments on his site. There is a wealth of info on our new message boards... http://www.alternative-medicine-message-boards.info Scroll down to the Diseases - Conditions - Alternative Healing Board and click on Arthritis! God Bless, JoAnn PS. I'm on messenger in case you wish to contact me. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
