MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS – POISONS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO ELIMINATE (SYMPTOMATIC TREATMENT)

Posted by admin

We have not forgotten the disastrous results when a large number of women took the thalidomide drug, in good faith, during the 1960s. It seems that only after hundreds, or even thousands, of people have suffered from taking such drugs, the real danger is discovered. Experience has shown that no one knows the long-term effects of any strong chemical medicine. No chemist, experienced physician or pharmacologist can predict the effects with any degree of certainty. Granted, laboratory and animal experiments do give a limited idea of the general effects in each case and this may help in the specific or symptomatic treatment of a certain disease. However, how is the drug to be judged and what is to be done when suddenly deformity, sterility, and neural and genetic damage is observed, as was the case with thalidomide? If legal proceedings are taken, will it not be difficult even for a very alert and observant doctor to prove his point? What is more, he will have to think very carefully about whether he dare take on a mighty chemical or pharmaceutical company and sue them successfully.
