A few months back, I made a few posts about Rockefeller healthcare, the pay for play pharma regime, and evidence based practice. I discussed the woes of evidence based practice as journals and research that guide our “best practice” guidelines…..but the data IN them is oftentimes paid for and sponsored by pharma, millions of dollars funneled through prestigious universities to publish what pharma paid them to publish, so they can put anything into scientific journals that they want to. Is evidence based practice really the “best” practice? In the name of “science” we set up a hierarchy of what creates “good medical evidence” which is peer reviewed randomized controlled trials that are replicated with same findings. I now question if that is even truth……because if the regime that is running and funding the trials and research and data are manipulating the data, it isn’t even credible. I used the damn Cochrane search database for research during my masters AND my doctorate, as they were considered some of the HIGHEST levels of research and gold standard practice out there. Healthcare has been trained to use what Cochrane puts out as standards of practice!
