Placebo Fraud Amongst Clinical Trials: 92% Do Not Disclose Placebo Pills Content!
Incredible! Incredulous! The public and all government must be up in arms! 92% of pill clinical trials do not disclose the contents of the placebo they use! The basis of pharmaceutical medicine exposed as mostly fraudulent! The next time you even consider getting a prescription from a white coat drug pusher, think about this:

Abstract
Background: No regulations govern placebo composition. The composition of placebos can influence trial outcomes and merits reporting.
Purpose: To assess how often investigators specify the composition of placebos in randomized, placebo-controlled trials.
Data Sources: 4 English-language general and internal medicine journals with high impact factors.
Study Selection: 3 reviewers screened titles and abstracts of the journals to identify randomized, placebo-controlled trials published from January 2008 to December 2009.
Data Extraction: Reviewers independently abstracted data from the introduction and methods sections of identified articles, recording treatment type (pill, injection, or other) and whether placebo composition was stated. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus.
Data Synthesis: Most studies did not disclose the composition of the study placebo. Disclosure was less common for pills than for injections and other treatments (8.2% vs. 26.7%; P = 0.002).
Limitation: Journals with high impact factors may not be representative.
Conclusion: Placebos were seldom described in randomized, controlled trials of pills or capsules. Because the nature of the placebo can influence trial outcomes, placebo formulation should be disclosed in reports of placebo-controlled trials.

And this is probably why in my entire life all pharmaceutical drugs let me down? Why pharma drugs batted a big fat zero success my entire life? Maybe all the studies and claims those drugs went through were rigged? With a 92% placebo non disclosure / fraud may explain my non healing from drugs.
May this study and news rock the world, may this news rock YOUR WORLD and think about what really works instead of smugly thinking you can pay for any drug treatment. Paying for drugs however expensive they may be will not give you the health and healing you require. I already went through that, I realized it early enough before I could die from all that fraud. It does not matter how much money you throw at drugs… they just don’t work for diseases.
