Many of you know of the 60 minutes segment on DMSO. At the end of the video, Mike Wallace mentioned that Congress was scheduled to hold hearings. Here is a link the that congressional testimony.
Dr. Jacobs tears the detractors to shreds, and it's satisfying to read.
But you can clearly see the framework of how FDA approves drugs that are more dangerous with questionable efficacy over drugs with proven safety, and widespread anecdote efficacy.
The push back by those asking questions to supposedly experts, and particularly Dr. Crout is satisfying to read. I wish I had to video record of this also.
And Dr. Jacobs also shoots down the supposedly experts by asking questions directly of them. Of course the question then has to be posed by a congressman, but it's great to read of getting embarrassed.
I was going to post some examples but does not allow me to cut/paste from doc.
Just skim through testimony if you like, and look for Dr. Jacobs.
Here is Dr. Jacobs book on DMSO DMSO - The Persecuted Drug Dr. Stanley Jacob
I remember when aspirin began being "dangerous". All of a sudden causing childhood disease, inflammation, stomach problems.... while pushing tylenol which destroys your liver. It started a long time ago.
In the congressional testimony, one of the key questioners brings up Aspirin as an example of approved drugs that causes harm as well as does good. In fact Aspirin is mentioned many times in the testimony.
Wow...thank you for posting the link to Dr. Jacobs book!
retire from fda and get a job at a pharma corporation with stock is mega money
I think, at least what I have heard is that many who leave the FDA do get jobs with Big Pharma. And I bet that anyone who has had a leadership position at FDA, owned BP stock.
