"Not only do SSRIs not prevent suicide, but on July 21, 2004, jama again reported that during treatment with SSRIs, there was actually a "significantly higher risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts ... during the first nine days of treatment" {JAMA, 2004;292:338-343), and that children first starting treatment were four times more likely to think about suicide, and 38 times more likely to commit suicide. In fact, children as young as five have committed suicide while taking these drugs, the study found.

"The evidence is strong that companies are getting the results they want," wrote Richard Smith, the former editor of the British Medical Journal in an article in 2005, "and this is especially worrisome because between two-thirds and three-quarters of the trials published in the major journals—Annals of Internal Medicine, jama, Lancet, and New England Journal of Medicine—are funded by the industry ...

"I told him, "Things must be a little tough for you these days with that jama study that just came out. Isn't it hard to sell Zoloft when the study shows that the placebo did slightly better than Zoloft—and the Zoloft did no better than St. John's wort?" If looks could in fact kill, I would have been a dead man. In April 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study that addressed this question: While many people report effectiveness for Zoloft and the herb St. John's wort, are these substances any more effective than a sugar-pill placebo?" - Bruce E.

"The FDA reviewers' reports contained a treasure trove of "not-yet-spun" data, revealing a very different picture of the safety of these two drugs than had been presented in the jama and NEJM articles. Based on the data from the manufacturers' own studies and the FDA reviewers' analyses, the conclusions that had been presented in the Celebrex CLASS and Vioxx VIGOR articles seemed to be encouraging physicians to prescribe drugs that provide few benefits and possibly even cause harm." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Left unreported (and unmentioned) in the jama article were the data from the second 6 months of the study, during which time, as shown in the data on the FDA's website, six of the seven serious gastrointestinal complications that occurred were in patients taking Celebrex. Pharmacia, the manufacturer of Celebrex, presented a statistical argument to the FDA justifying its omission of the data from the second half of its study." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Clark was aware, as was I, of the finding published in jama almost a year before her cancer had been diagnosed that a woman's risk of breast cancer increases by 8 percent for each year that she takes combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Mrs. Clark could not understand why her trusted gynecologist had prescribed HRT 12 years earlier when, with only very mild hot flashes, she had entered menopause. Nor could she understand how her gynecologist could have been so confident that she should remain on the hormones indefinitely." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "But when the results of the study were published in jama, the incidences of major and minor gastrointestinal complications were combined. Why the change? The results of the study as originally designed failed to show that the people who took Celebrex developed significantly fewer major gastrointestinal complications than the people who took ibuprofen or diclofenac, even for just the first six months." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"One government-sponsored study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), surveyed 9,708 people aged 18 to 54, and compared the suicide data from the 1990 -1992 National Comorbidity Survey and the 2001-2003 National Comorbidity Survey Replication and found: "Despite a dramatic increase in treatment, no significant decrease occurred in suicidal thoughts, plans, gestures, or attempts in the United States during the 1990s," ("Trends in Suicide Ideation, Plans, Gestures, and Attempts in the United States", 1990-1992 to 2001-2003, jama. 2005;293:2487-2495)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"In the jama study, they used whatever the dose was at the time, and they never even mentioned the type of citrate that they used. You have to give enough so that it reaches the sites in the body that it needs to reach." Preuss points out that there are different forms of hydroxycitrates. "If you have almost a pure calcium hydroxycitrate, it's just not going to work," he told me. He prefers hydroxycitrate bound to both calcium and potassium, which dramatically increases the absorption and effectiveness of HCA.

"Interesting FYI: jama also published the above-mentioned study showing the benefit of ginkgo for patients with dementia and Alzheimer's!) "The value of any dietary supplement cannot be determined on the basis of one study alone," says Mark Blumenthal, executive director of the American Botanical Council. You need to consider the entire body of evidence that supports ginkgo's beneficial use.

"Steven Ringel, the author of the 2003 jama essay, mused on the meaning of Linda's defensiveness; her clarity that, if her suffering was not strictly physical in origin, it was also not strictly real. She was not wrong to be defensive. In fact, patients like Linda, lacking clear physical markers of disease, are generally not taken seriously by their doctors: Over the years I've learned that almost every aspect of our health care system is more responsive to the needs of patients with major organ failure." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"While it's true that in the jama study, St. John's Wort didn't show much effect on the most intractable and difficult of depressions, dozens of other studies—and the experience of an enormous number of people—suggest that St. John's Wort may be very effective for some of the lighter varieties of depression, which afflict untold numbers of people. An Historic and Helpful Herb St. John's Wort is actually a perennial herb with many flowers that can be found growing wild in much of the world (the word "wort" just means plant)." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Ginkgo's reputation took a big hit when a study published in jama concluded that there were no differences in the memory abilities of people treated with ginkgo and people who weren't. But there were a lot of problems with this study, not least of which was the fact that it only went on for six weeks (many researchers believe the effects don't show up until after at least twelve weeks of taking it). Only participants with no previous memory problems participated, and it's hard to demonstrate improved memory with people who don't have memory issues to begin with!" - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)
