Health Care the Way Mother Nature Intended!

Thousands of studies now considered invalid because the placebos were manipulated or not documented.

Greetings!

Thousands of clinical trials that have been conducted over several decades comparing drugs to placebo pills must now be thrown out because they are nonscientific. The reason is because the placebos used in the studies weren't really placebos at all, which makes the studies scientifically invalid.

A study done by researchers at the University of California published their findings in the October issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine (http://www.annals.org/content/153/8/532.abstract). They reviewed 167 placebo-controlled trials published in peer-reviewed medical journals in 2008 and 2009 and found that 92 percent of those trials never even described the ingredients of their placebo pills.

Placebo pills are supposed to be inert (not cause an action or reaction) But, nothing is inert. Sugar pills contain sugar. Sugar isn't inert. An example is running a clinical trial on diabetics to test a diabetes drug. If a sugar pill is used against the prescription, the drug will test better than the placebo. Another example is the use of olive oil in some placebos which could improve heart health. Or partially-hydrogenated oils in another placebo which could harm heart health. In a real study with AIDS patients, who tend to be lactose intolerant, researches used placebo pills made of lactose.

In the study only 8 percent of clinical trials listed the placebo ingredients.  Furthermore, there are no FDA rules regarding the choice or composition of placebos used in clinical trials.

"Thanks" from our patients

"I was always tired, more so at work. Staring at a screen for 8 hours per day was next to impossible. I also had very swollen ankles and some scars that weren't healing the way they used to. Particularly one from over one year ago. Now, my fatigue has greatly improved. I can go almost 8 hours at work feeling alert. The swelling of my ankles has greatly improved and I have lost 20 pounds since my first visit 2 months ago. My scars are healing and look a lot better than before. A big thank you to Dr. Schmidt and your AMAZING staff!"

"I had become dependent on my inhaler and still struggled with asthma symptoms. My sleep was very restless and my energy level throughout the day was diminished.
Now, my life has improved dramatically in a relatively short period. The inhaler is tucked away and has not been used. My energy level is greatly improved and I'm sleeping much more soundly. Thank you Dr. Shannon."
