HRT drugs were once heralded as a pharmaceutical miracle that would "reverse the ravages of aging" for women seeking hormonal balance. Hundreds of thousands of women around the world were put on the drugs, generating billions of dollars in profits for drug companies. Yet there was never any good science backing up the wild claims made by drug companies and promoted by the medical industry. Doctors were prescribing HRT drugs based on nothing more than marketing propaganda from drug companies. There were simply no studies showing the drugs to be safe.
Years later, a few experts who tried to warn the public about the dangers of these drugs were widely ridiculed, and probably received far worse treatment behind close doors (being blackballed by the industry, likely). The drug companies, for their part, were fully aware of the dangers of these drugs, but hid the studies from the public for as long as they could, generating profits at the expense of public health.
Only now, after pulling every stunt in the book to keep the truth from coming out, do we learn about the true health risks of taking HRT drugs. This episode is just one of many examples of bad medicine I've documented on this site. The pharmaceutical industry has proven itself to be nothing less than criminal in its actions. The industry operates like a criminal organization that knows no ethical bounds. It trades public health for corporate profits, it cajoles people into taking a cocktail of chemical toxins that do nothing to increase long-term quality of life, and it acts with the full protection of the FDA -- an agency that's actually dedicated to protecting, not regulating, the drug lords.
As a nation, we'd all be better off by following Nancy Reagan's advice: Just Say NO to drugs. All drugs.
