I found an article in the Wall Street Journal that shows that the rate of retractions of scientific studies in scientific journals has proliferated over the last decade. Data compiled for the WSJ by Thompson-Reuters shows that the number of research articles published since 2001 increased by 44%, while during the same period the number

Scientific Peer Review is Broken
The below article exactly describes the reason why many people do not trust doctors or other scientists. In short, the scientific peer review process is totally broken. But this poses a problem. How do we know what is true from what isn’t? Unfortunately, most scientists and physicians think that they know better than people that
It’s not just stem cell research that’s overhyped— medical science spin is a widespread problem
Just as how every week we hear about another revolutionary, groundbreaking discovery in cancer research, this article below says that the problem is widespread in all medical research. It’s gotten so bad that medical committees are actually admonishing scientists for hyping up their mundane research results. Every minor item is inflated into a Nobel Prize-worthy
Problems With the Research Paradigm of Conventional Cancer Research
It’s not that the current research ideas and procedures are totally worthless. But from what I’m seeing, there have been no big breakthroughs or revolutionary discoveries of ways to extend the lives of cancer patients, much less anything remotely approaching a cure. Improvements on 5 year survival rate (which is not really analogous to a
Big Pharma Research-Marketing Dressed Up as Science
There are various people who describe the extent to which Big Pharma has infested the entire medical research process, as well as the regulatory function. It has devolved into a big circus where the ringmasters and workers all share in the profits, all at the expense of the audience and the joke is on the
Fraud in Scientific Literature
I knew that there was an element of fraud in scientific literature, but this story that I came across from the Health Ranger, Mike Adams, demonstrates that it is not just an anomaly, but is a part of ‘business as usual’ with Big Pharma. I have mentioned these elements in my writings. The bottom line
The Importance of Foundational Topics in Cancer Research
When dealing with cancer (or just about any other issue facing us today), one of the most important issues facing someone is the very foundation of the thinking related to the topic. The underlying assumptions and framework of the paradigm are very powerful and determine the final outcome of all conclusions that can be reached.
Scientists Raided After Discovering Dangerous Nanoparticle Contaminants in Common Vaccines
This just goes to show you how far they’re willing to go to protect their pet ‘scientific’ theories and scrap any facts that contradict their chosen dogmatic conclusions. Isn’t that the direct opposite of science? Unfortunately, most people just believe whatever they’re told by the mainstream media, not realizing that it’s often slanted and manipulated
The Sordid History of Monsanto
Monsanto is a big, controversial corporation. If you believe their PR and advertising, you’ll think that Monsanto is helping to save and improve the world for humanity. But if you delve deeper, you will find a psychopathic organization that embodies just about everything wrong with corporations and Big Ag. They use their money, power and
Study: Cells of three advanced cancers die with drug-like compounds that reverse chemo failure
This is good news. We want chemotherapy to be more effective than it presently is for patients. The one major glaring thing that stands out to me about this article, and about chemotherapy in general, is how oncologists are so attached to the use of chemotherapy. If it was so good, then why do they
