Doctors Without Borders Why you can't trust medical journals anymore. "With financial ties to nearly two dozen drug and biotech companies, Dr. Charles B. Nemeroff may hold some sort of record among academic clinicians for the most conflicts of interest. A psychiatrist, a prominent researcher, and chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Nemeroff receives funding for his academic research from Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Wyeth-Ayerst--indeed from virtually every pharmaceutical house that manufactures a drug to treat mental illness. He also serves as a consultant to drug and biotech companies, owns their stocks, and is a member of several speakers' bureaus, delivering talks--for a fee--to other physicians on behalf of the companies' products." My comments: Disturbing? According to the Washington Monthly, this well-known psychiatrist and university department chairman has his fingers in quite a few pies which the author feels is a grave conflict of interest. This may be simply justified by a viewpoint of some in the psychiatric profession, and has been called "New Morals." "New Morals" involves dismantling of the family unit, tearing down religion and the spiritual basis of man, treating a person as if he is a body only, and the degradation of women. Perhaps it is the "New Morals" viewpoint that condone this sort of behavior as it does with frontal lobotomies, electric shock "therapy", amphetamine drugs for school children, and high rates of sexual indiscretions with women patients. From my viewpoint, "New morals" is like "New Math." It doesn't add up . After you Mhave a look at the article, ask yourself, "Would you trust this "doctor" with your mind?" - D.I.
