Controversy Around FDA’s Approval of Biogen Alzheimer’s Drug, Aducanumab

I discuss the safety and efficacy of the newest Alzheimer’s drug treatments, aducanumab (Aduhelm) and lecanemab (Leqembi).

This is one of the more egregious examples of Big Pharma manipulation. It reminds me of flibanserin (Addyi), the drug marketed for “hypoactive sexual desire disorder” in women.

20 Risposte a “Controversy Around FDA’s Approval of Biogen Alzheimer’s Drug, Aducanumab”

  1. Google the drug & the first hit is the Alzheimer's association pumping it up!? Other medical institutions do better.
    “This approval shouldn’t have happened,” said Dr. Vissia Viglietta, a former Biogen senior medical director, who helped design the two late-stage clinical trials of the drug. “It defeats everything I believe in scientifically and it lowers the rigor of regulatory bodies.”

  2. Dr. Greger, could your team please update your Daily Dozen App to reflect all of your new findings?
    The App should be changing along with all of your new information.
    Thank you so much for all of your hard work and efforts to help us stay as healthy as possible 💖💖💖

  3. What prenatal is free from iron biotin vitamin a and vitamin E safe for pregnancy (T Colin Campbell says vitamin a pill trials were cut short due to people dying from lung cancer) as well as vitamin E in vegan omega 3 supplements with vitamin E increases mortality and biotin supplements causing high blood pressure- how can fda allow iron in prenatal supplements causing Alzheimer’s as Neal Barnard states

  4. Plaque isn't the cause, it's tbe body trying to protect itself against elevated insulin levels over time and that's the cause of Alzheimer's, not amyloid plaque.
