    Clinical Tests

    I have no love of Big Pharma, but before we condemn on the basis admistering placebos, I think a little more research is warranted on these studies. Just because one study proves that a drug effective in one circumstance means that it's effective in all circumstances - that's why we they have different clinical trials with different patients. Don't condemn companies for testing when we condemn them for not testing. You can't have it both ways.
