These assertions will immediately restrict the medical practices of hundreds of U.S. physicians who use SVF to assist in healing, as no clinical practices can meet the stringent regulations that are applied to drug manufacturing. In addition, these decisions will only hamper medical innovation without measurably improving public safety. Wow, whoda thunk it?

Youāre not actually interested in a conversation then, you just want to be a fucking lunatic.
Fantastic.

Except that Iām fine with legalizing for recreational use and, certainly, medical use assuming the studies have been done. Derpā¦
If I read this is it going to ultimately say that the polio vaccine causes cancer? Because my head might actually explode if thatās the case.
Maybe youād be willing to discuss big pharma with me instead =D
The article isnāt about big pharma itself, but I think itās similar enough in the premise of unnecessary treatments being pushed onto people on the basis that itās actually necessary and the general problem with medical science itself.
My personal opinion is that peopleās innate need to see things in absolutes have negatively impacted medicine.
A certain medicine NEEDS to always be good. As such, the possibility that it can cause harmful side-effects in certain people is unthinkable to the general populace. Those who research the medicine may know of the side-effects, but they need to be downplayed or possibly hidden from the general populace so as to convince them that the medicine is 100% absolutely safe to use and is absolutely guaranteed to help deal with whatever itās supposed to deal with.
This kind of thinking seem to bleed into the various conditions that seem to be lumped into metabolic syndrome as well.
Exercise IS the solution. Or diet IS the solution. If itās both,then exercise NEEDS to be 30% and diet NEEDS to be 70% or whatever other number I pull out of my ass. For the general populace, itās unthinkable to consider that some people may not be helped by either, or that different people need different amounts and types of both and vice versa.
Thatās why anything that can be considered an irregularity is used as a reason to discredit. If diet is supposed to be the most important thing to solving metabolic syndrome, then why hasnāt Mr. X gotten better when he started eating a bunch of fruits and vegetables and not a lot of protein and fat?
Who knows.
Big pharma, being for-profit organizations, need to sell you that their product really is necessary to treat a certain condition. Simply by that point alone I distrust them.

I am about to sit down to dinner with my wife, but I promise that I will come back and discuss this at length. Contrary to zepās belief, I too am distrustful of āBig Pharmaā in general (which is why we need the goddamn FDA). I passed that article on to all of my peers. Itās extremely well-written & highlights major problems with the way we practice medicine.
Zep has assumed that merely because I have defended the need for regulation of treatments, that makes me some sort of FDA-approved shill whoās in the tank for Big Pharma, which is a gross misunderstanding of how I feel about the matters in question.
Alas, Zep has shown no interest in an actual conversation about the matter, since his response is literally the same thing every single time. However, I am more than happy to give my opinion on the linked piece, because it is crucially important and should be required reading for all MDās and all prospective patients.

I enjoy the articles at The Atlantic. Those guys are not only talented writers, but they also tend to approach issues with what seems to be a deliberately contrarian bent that seems, to a layman like me, very well-researched and insightful.

And you support policies that make the public suffer with smoke and mirrors excuses of āsafetyā. Well where are all the double-blind randomized studies in the U.S. on medicinal marijuana? I guess the tens of thousands of people who claim to get benefits are only imaging them? Maybe they should just have suffered until science caught up to something they already know?
Well where are all the double-blind studies in the U.S.? I guess the tens of thousands of people claiming to get benefits are all experiencing a placebo? Or maybe they are all outliers?
So if itās evidence based and goes against the prevailing orthodoxy reject it?
And maybe youād be willing to show me all of the double-blind randomized studies done in the U.S. on medicinal marijuana? If not, why is it becoming more and more legalized?
A goddamed FDA that has a revolving door with Big Pharma. Iām sure that everything is hunky dory with that arrangement.
Wow since itās been legal for medicinal use in California since Prop 215 in 1996. Iād say they are way behind the times. One study to confirm what tens of thousands already know. But then again maybe they are all outliers.
