From the Editor: Making waves

David Kirby's next book, "Death at Sea World," isn't out till July but already there are two petitions against it. You know, don't buy it, don't read it, don't believe it. Kinda familiar, eh?

ZILCH FROM ZETIA

Down_drainBy Kim Stagliano

From the New York Times: "A clinical trial of Zetia, a cholesterol-lowering drug prescribed to about 1 million people a week, failed to show that the drug has any medical benefits, Merck and Schering-Plough said on Monday."

You've seen the gorgeous ad campaign for Vytorin, which is Zetia and Zocor together.  Heck, I can hear the tooty little song in my head right now, with the people who resemble food.  Read the full article from The Times HERE. You no longer have to pay for The Times online, but you might have to sign up.Vytorin

How many of you are on this drug? Your parents? Grandparents? A million prescriptions a week and it does nothing? I expect medical doctors across the country to express their outrage at having duped their patients into thinking they were getting medical treatment.  Come on, AMA. I'm waiting.

Kim Stagliano is Managing Editor of Age of Autism, a writer, blogger and the mother of three children with autism.
