The Center for Medical Consumers, a non-profit 501(C)3 advocacy organization, was founded in 1976 with this philosophy: Whenever long-term drug therapy, elective surgery, or any other major treatment is prescribed, the question of whether the treatment has been proven safe and effective should come up. And the prescribing physician should be expected to cite the relevant studies. We want people not only to ask such questions but to explore the answers they receive from their physicians. Since 1976, we have published a monthly newsletter called HealthFacts, which critically evaluates the latest major studies published in the world’s top medical journals. |
