Rant on drug studies...

Bogus study

The above study is one of the studies that i am going to point out in this post that is one of the many reasons we are screwed up in health care. We are trying to fix people that really are not needing the treatment all so companies can increase some market share get more money for investors... blah blah blah blah...

The exlusions listed to the study are basically what makes you and active lupus patient... so basically they are looking for patients that have a positive ANA and a sore finger... pretty much does not have lupus.


Ok next one The BIG HYPE Benlysta ...OMG THERE IS A CURE>>>>> LOL<<<<< not.. Calm down people once again they did not even test people that were most sick with the disease, it did not get rid of it on the few it worked on, It DID NOT work on African Americans and they typically have the worst disease activity.. in white people it worked in 1 out of 11 patients with mild lupus and costs over 30,000 a year... yay big pharm you won again..
