How to tell if your doctor is trying out a new drug on you

Dr Vernon Coleman

Every week thousands of patients are used - often unwittingly - in medical experiments. Doctors in general practice and in hospitals - make thousands of pounds testing new drugs for pharmaceutical companies. But patients are often put at risk unnecessarily. Be suspicious if your doctor makes a great fuss of you, is unusually polite or wants you to return to the clinic at very regular intervals.

If, instead of handing you a prescription, your doctor gives you a bottle of pills and doesn't charge you for them then the pills may be new and you may be taking part in a drug trial.

Watch out if your doctor asks you a lot of questions that don't seem entirely relevant. If your doctor is doing a clinical trial for a drug company he will almost certainly ask you lots of questions about side effects - questions that he would not normally ask.

Be wary if your doctor wants you to undergo blood or other tests but doesn't explain why the tests are necessary. Drug companies paying for new drugs to be tested may want blood tests performed.

If your doctor admits that he wants to try out a new drug on you make sure that there is no existing alternative. New drugs should only be tried out on patients when there are no effective and safe alternatives. Why should you risk your health (and your life) to benefit your doctor's bank balance and the drug company's profits?

The microbe is nothing...the soil is everything... Pasteur. He said this on his death bed. His previous information related to the germ theory. People have no idea that by following his previous information they are dying in droves. Food pasteurization... heating everything above 212 degrees to 'pasteurize' the food.and kill the germs...wiped out the value of the food...and created illness. Mankind lived thousands of years by eating natural raw unprocessed food. When he spoke of the soil, he meant the environment...the health of one's body. When one is healthy, the immune system protects people against germs (microbes). I always thought, if you can't see them...don't worry about them. However, I try to eat as much raw food as possible....and at 90 I am doing better than most people I know.

You see more than you think you seeDr Vernon ColemanMuch of what we see is never consciously registered by our brains.If subliminal messages are flashed onto TV or cinema screens the messages will register with our subconscious minds only. Researchers have shown that aircrew members taught to press buttons when they have spotted enemy aircraft will sometimes press them when the aircraft have been there but they have not knowingly seen them. The unconscious ability to see is, it seems, sometimes stronger than its conscious counterpart. To illustrate this point an experiment was organised in which individuals watching nonsense words being projected onto a cinema screen were given shocks when certain words were shown. Predictably, the experiment showed that the volunteers exhibited the same sort of responses as Pavlov’s dogs. They began to show physical signs of fear every time they saw a word which would be accompanied by a shock. What these researchers also revealed, however, was that when words which should have been associated with electrical shocks by the volunteers were falsely identified by their conscious minds their bodies nevertheless responded accurately, unconsciously making correct identifications. And if that doesn’t impress you, consider this: a boy who was taught to blink when he heard someone say the number ten also began to blink when he heard people say sums, the answers to which were ten. Thus he would automatically blink when he heard the numbers 92-82, 65-55 and so on. Somehow the automatic reflex he had acquired had linked into a part of his brain that was capable of doing small sums. Whatever else we may suspect about our eyesight we do know now that we have a lot to learn. Could it be, for example, that when we act on impulse, or have a hunch about something, we are using information that has been fed into our brains without our knowledge?
