"As reported in the journal of the american medical association, two 45-minute weight (strength) training sessions a week can improve bone density, muscle mass, strength, balance, and physical activity in older women (ages 50-70). After one year of strength training, women emerged physiologically younger by 15-20 years than when they began. Other studies have demonstrated the same results for men who weight train. • People in their 70s and 80s can experience strength gains of as much as 180% in a matter of just a few weeks." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"The journals that are most familiar to the public, the New England Journal of Medicine, the journal of the american medical association, the Annals of Internal Medicine, are also the publications that physicians consider the authoritative sources, their most cherished repositories of medical knowledge. Imagine Dr." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"I have focused on the major and most respected and reliable journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine, The journal of the american medical association, British Medical Journal, and The Lancet. I have read and analyzed all of the articles in these journals as well as editorials and news articles {British Medical Journal is the best for medical news reporting) for information relevant to drug safety. Following footnotes and leads from articles in these journals to other research and reports, I have drilled deeply into drug research and outcomes." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "In 2000, a large review of the drug, called the Celecoxib Long-term Arthritis Safety Study (CLASS), which was published in the journal of the american medical association, reported a 50% reduction of ulcers and stomach bleeding with celecoxib as compared to NSAIDS.7 Patients taking aspirin lost the protection afforded by Celebrex. This study looked at one year of treatment, but only the results found after six months were published. Based on data released to the FDA, it was later discovered that in the second six months there had been an increase in heart attack risk." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"A July 2000 article in the journal of the american medical association (jama) presented statistics to show that doctors are the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer, in the United States.7 From a separate study commissioned by the Nutrition Institute of America, a more recent article entitled "Death by Medicine" by Drs. Null, Dean, Feldman, and Rasio concludes that the American medical system is the "leading cause of death and injury in the United States." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"And the Most Shocking Fact of All The April 15, 1998 journal of the american medical association reported that there are more than 2,000,000 drug "reactions" annually in the United States, and that more than 100,000 of those reactions are fatal. This makes prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in America. But the reality is actually far worse. • These numbers only count drugs that are prescribed correctly and at the right dose. • Not included are patients who are given the wrong drugs, or who are given those drugs at the wrong dosage or in the wrong combination." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "On the other hand, the devastating, toxic effects of fluoride are well documented by mainstream organization such as: • Numerous atticles have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine and the journal of the american medical association challenging the safety of fluoridation 'Tea, for example, is an extremly high source of fluoride (even when made with unfluoridated water). 2American industry loves water fluoridation. Instead of having to pay for the disposal of a toxic waste product, they now get paid by cities by selling them this same toxic waste." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Bovine Somatotropin Author's Letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association journal of the american medical association 265:1391,1991 [In reply to a misleading article, and accompanying editorial, denying any adverse veterinary or public health hazards of rBST] The Special Communication by Monsanto consultants Daughaday and Barbano (1) and the accompanying editorial by Grossman (2) are misleading and scientifically flawed for reasons that include the following: 1." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking (Get the book.)

"Beard's work was published in the journal of the american medical association. In 1911, Dr. Beard published a monograph entitled "The Enzyme Therapy of Cancer," summarizing his therapy and the supporting evidence (J. Beard, "The Action of Trypsin upon the Living Cells of Jensen's Mouse Tumor," British Medical Journal A (1906): 140-141). After Dr. Beard's death in 1923, the enzyme therapy was largely forgotten. From time to time alternative therapists have "rediscovered" Dr." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"A remarkable article that was published in the journal of the american medical association (JAMA) in 2004. The authors were from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH); they were held in the highest regard by the biomedical community. They asked a crucial and generally ignored question: What "actually" causes one to die of heart disease or cancer, or any of the other leading causes of death?12 Their answer? The leading "actual cause of death" is tobacco (18%)!" - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"In the case of antidepressants, failure to review possible side effects and to monitor the patient's progress in the weeks and months after starting the drugs is deeply irresponsible. The journal of the american medical association states, "The risk of suicidal behavior is increased in the first month after starting antidepressants, especially during the first one to nine days."8 There's no longer any need to deal with an actual physician: all these drugs are readily available, with a few clicks and a ready credit card, at Web sites like www.anxietydisorders.biz and www.drugsupplier .biz." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"In an article in the journal of the american medical association, they explained that the overall risk of heart attack when taking the drugs was low. But given that millions of Americans were taking the drugs, even a slight increase in the risk would mean that thousands of people could be harmed or even die from the pain relievers. The doctors called on Merck and Pharmacia to begin studies to prove their products were safe. Both companies rebuffed the request. By then the drugs had become megablockbuster products with combined sales of six billion dollars a year." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "NOTES BIBLIOGRAPHY ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INDEX NOTES Abbreviations BMJ British Medical Journal JAMA The journal of the american medical association NEJM The New England journal of Medicine Introduction 4 Vaniqa: Bristol-Myers Squibb began selling Vaniqa as a facial hair removal cream in 2000 through an aggressive marketing campaign that included ads on television and in magazines like Cosmopolitan. Controversy erupted when the public realized a drug being used to minimize the mustaches of American women was not available to people dying of sleeping sickness in Africa." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "Lundberg, the former editor of The journal of the american medical association, wrote in his 2000 book Severed Trust. "The place to begin is the autopsy." A backlash against the autopsy began in the 1970s, he said, as more physicians became annoyed with what pathologists were discovering in autopsies. "They didn't want the pathologist to see the outcome of their work," Lundberg wrote, "and they didn't want anyone else to see it either." A hint of just how many hospital patients killed by medicines were being buried before the truth could be revealed came in a report published in 2002." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"The results, published in the journal of the american medical association, powerfully underscored her hunch: women with the highest levels of energy expenditure had a 20 percent lower chance of being cognitively impaired on tests of memory and general intelligence. The median level of activity for this group translated to walking twelve hours a week, or running just under four hours total, compared with less than one hour of walking for the least active group (of five). But Weuve says you don't have to be a "super athlete" to get a benefit. " - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"What that says to George Lundberg, a noted pathologist, ardent champion of the autopsy, and former editor of the journal of the american medical association, is that imaging tests have not done much, on average, to improve doctors' powers of diagnosis. In a JAMA editorial accompanying a large autopsy study published in 1998, Lundberg wrote that the low-tech autopsy "trumps high-tech medicine in getting the right answer again and again, even during the 1990s and even at academic medical centers." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "In 200 c, the journal of the american medical association published a survey of 824 Pennsylvania doctors in high-risk specialties, including obstetrics, neurology, and emergency medicine; 59 percent of those surveyed said they routinely ordered unnecessary tests, including imaging tests. Doctors know perfectly well they are ordering useless imaging tests, but when you ask them why they do it, they offer conflicting reasons." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"And, in fact, there are numerous studies that have appeared in the journal of the american medical association that show a significant increase in hip fractures in areas with fluoridated water. In addition, The New England Journal of Medicine reported that fluoride treatment of osteoporosis patients resulted in higher hip fracture rates." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"A 1998 review of articles published in leading journals such as The journal of the american medical association and The New England Journal of Medicine found that 11 percent were ghostwritten. The fact that authors were paid to write the articles for the drug companies is not disclosed to the reader. Some observers have called *Warfarin, with its ungainly name, was surely brought to market before the naming of drugs became a sophisticated business. the 11 percent figure for ghostwritten articles too low." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Then I saw an article in the journal of the american medical association, in July 2000, claiming that "the U.S. population does not have anywhere near the best health in the world." On first read, I thought that surely the author was overstating the case. In a comparison of 13 industrialized nations that will surprise most Americans—and certainly most American physicians—Dr. Barbara Starfield, University Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, found that the health of Americans is close to the worst on most measures and overall ranked second to last." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Drummond Rennie, deputy editor of the journal of the american medical association, characterized the response of academic institutions to this changing climate: "They are seduced by industry funding, and frightened that if they don't go along with these gag orders, the money will go to less rigorous institutions. It's a race to the ethical bottom." AN ALARM IS SOUNDED In September 2001 an unprecedented alarm was sounded." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "The editors of 12 of the world's most influential medical journals, including the journal of the american medical association, the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and the Annals of Internal Medicine, issued an extraordinary joint statement in their publications. In words that should have shaken the medical profession to its core, the statement told of "dracon-ian" terms being imposed on medical researchers by corporate sponsors." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Among the several 3-foot-high stacks of patients' charts, test results, consultants' notes, medical journals, and junk mail was the latest issue of the journal of the american medical association (JAMA), from November 24, 1999. I noticed an article about Celebrex and one about Vioxx, the latest drugs for arthritis pain. Each article presented the results of a study sponsored by the drug's manufacturer claiming that the drug was significantly safer than older anti-inflammatory medication, which was available in much less costly generic form." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"What's more, in 2004, an alarming report in the journal of the american medical association reported an observed connection between frequent antibiotic use and elevated breast cancer risk. In a press release, the National Cancer Institute said the link could be attributed to a weak immune system: "It is also possible that the underlying conditions that led to the antibiotics prescriptions caused the increased [cancer] risk, or that a weakened immune system—either alone, or in combination with the use of antibiotics—is the cause of this association." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Watercress (or the Flor-Essence formula that contains it) probably won't be featured in the journal of the american medical association or the New England Journal of Medicine. This is tragic, since, as we shall demonstrate, watercress is a key colon-health herb. Indeed, this little-heralded herb is one of the key reasons why Flor-Essence is one of the most highly prized nutritional supplements to support the health of people who face the challenge of prevention or treatment of cancer, especially of the colon." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Years of exposure to cigarette smoke can result in irreversible lung damage and for an asthmatic the problem can be exacerbated. The journal of the american medical association has singled out tobacco as the number one culprit in causing death in America. Heart disease and cancer were listed as the nation's leading killers, but the underlying cause of death was the use of tobacco. The research found that smoking contributed to the deaths of 400 000 Americans annually—more than those caused by drug use, guns and car accidents put together." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"In 1994, the journal of the american medical association reported a dangerous relationship between diphtheria, tetanus, and oral polio vaccines and a number of autoimmune disorders, including Guillian-Barre syndrome. Similarly, a correlation has been reported and debated in scientific journals for years between the hepatitis B vaccine and multiple sclerosis as well as rheumatoid arthritis. Other evidence links the measles vaccine to multiple sclerosis and the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and hepatitis B vaccines to rheumatoid arthritis." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"They found fifty-five articles, including three that had been published in the prestigious journal of the american medical association. The articles described twenty-five clinical trials, all of which had results that were favorable to selling Zoloft. Only two of the articles gave any hint that they had been ghostwritten by a marketing firm. Those two papers acknowledged that the "authors" had received writing assistance from a person not listed as an author." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"The paper trail here begins with an article published in the journal of the american medical association in 1964 called "Unusually Low Incidence of Death from Myocardial Infarction." In it, epidemiologist Clark Stout and his colleagues offered data from death certificates culled from hospital and other town records from Roseto that suggested something quite remarkable about this town. In comparison with its two neighboring towns, Bangor and Nazareth, Roseto seemed to be a virtual haven from heart disease, despite being serviced by the same water supply and hospital as its neighbors." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "In short order, the commission filed an enthusiastic report in the pages of the journal of the american medical association, in which they described seeing not just patients who experienced postoperative pain relief through acupuncture but patients who underwent surgical procedures with nothing other than a few slender acupuncture needles inserted in various parts of their bodies to protect them from pain and shock." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)
