DRUGS DON'T WORK
According to Dr. Roses, the problem is much worse than anyone
might have imagined.
He told the audience that fully 90% of prescription
drugs only work 30% to 50% of the time!
More important, some of the least effective drugs are the
ones whose failure to be effective would have the most serious
consequences.
For example drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease work 30% of
the time or less!
Cancer drugs are at best effective 25% of the time,
and in some instances, the effectiveness can be as little
as 2%!
Drugs intended to treat hepatitis C are effective less than
half the time.
Even drugs for more common and less life-threatening
conditions have poor track records.
