Independent medical journal hopes to shake up highly corrupt medical journal industry
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Medical journals are highly corrupt: they only print "science" that agrees with the belief systems of the top editors. The vast majority of articles published in most journals have conflicts of interest where, for example, researchers are funded by the very same drug companies that stand to financial benefit from the conclusions of the published studies. In reality, today's medical journals are collections of scientific fiction, wishful thinking, and outright scientific fraud posing as hard science.
Oh yes, and to top it all off, many journals are primarily funded by advertising revenues from the very companies whose products are being studied. Objectivity is simply impossible in such an environment.
Clearly, it's time for a change, and the PLoS medical journals look like the most promising entry for challenging the current system of medical journal corruption.
