(NaturalNews) Is it possible that the massive rise in diagnoses of gluten insensitivity and Celiac disease is in some way linked to the medications people are taking? A new study published online in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings seems to suggest so, having found that the popular blood pressure drug Benicar (olmesartan) often causes patients to develop symptoms of Celiac disease that later subside when the medication is ceased.
As many likely already are aware, Gilenya was approved by the FDA for use in the United States back in September 2010. It is the first–and only–oral disease-modifying drug for multiple sclerosis. Once thought to be something that would only exist in a futuristic world with flying cars and jet packs, an oral MS drug is a reality.
Unfortunately, it may also carry serious side effects.
A new study from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center highlights a rise in the number of young children, over half a million each year, admitted to hospitals or seen in emergency departments because of unintentional toxic doses of prescription medication.
The increase in such exposures is so high that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established the PROTECT Initiative, with the goal of preventing unintended medication overdoses in children.
This outrageous new arrived in my email today. This fact is of lower importance compared to the conclusion of the article. According to the “panel members” it was wrong that the participants didn’t give their consent(!!!) the same way they did in 1943 volunteers prison inmates who were infected with gonorrhea in Terre Haute, Ind. Expiriments between the time 1946-1948 were officially financed from the American Institute of Health (AIH).
PS: As for the apologies…. NOT ACCEPTED!
