WHOA, kept getting an error message and attempting to repost, sorry about all the duplicates!! Wow, now that's what I'm talkin' about!!! Yes, yes, yes.... most of the "research" done today is skewed, especially if done by a medical/pharmacological company. Even researchers at the NIH seem to skew their research/studies by choosiing patients which show what they want to show. No, I can't prove it exactly, but the history of folks on this board say a lot. Good article!! Hugs, Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanM Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 60 minutes had an interesting segment last night with a scientist who was involved in the human genome project. He indicated to the moderator that you have to do the research first (self-funded) and then the government money may be available for further research. That pretty much said it all.
