DIABETES DRUGMAKER PAYS $460 MILLION
“Would you believe me if I told you that all the type 2 diabetes drugs, such as Avandia, Actos, Glucophage, Amaryl,and other cause problems like heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and even death-the very conditions the drugs are supposed to prevent?
What if I told you that diabetes drugs will not decrease the likelihood of having a stroke; developing heart disease, kidney failure, leg ulcers, or blindness, needing an amputation; or dying prematurely? You might say that I am crazy, that keeping your blood sugar down is critical. But alas, these arefacts-no matter what your doctor or drug makers tell you.”
On July 14, 2010, GlaxoSmithKline agreed to pay about $460 million to resolve most of the lawsuits about its diabetes drug Avandia-a drug that can cause heart attacks and strokes. Turns out that a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) official said that Glaxo withheld from FDA regulators a study showing Avandia may cause heart attacks.
And there was much more data showing that has been said about these drugs is simply true. Worried about the bottom line, Glaxo was facing 10,000 lawsuits, which may have amounted to worst-case scenario of payments of about $500,000 each-hence the settlement. The future of Avandia, once the best-selling diabetes drug with $3 billion in annual sales, is still in the air as the FDA mulls over whether to pull it from the market completely.
Lowering blood glucose numbers with drugs brings praise from doctors, but not much else. Drug therapy does not prevent any of the problems associated with diabetes-the very ones the drugs are suppose to treat-and they may even cause heart attacks and strokes. The only way to beat type 2 diabetes is real way-a three-prong approach of diet, weight-bearing exercise and exact, targeted nutritional supplementation with whole-food complexes. Everything else is fake and Glaxo’s settlement is the proof.
