Mysterious ways:
I may have been a bit too dismissive of christianity. General JC Christian explains to me why I should be grateful to Jesus Christ (hint not for Viagra).
But if God is so proProzac why did He have Eliot Spitzer drive a story about how Prozac works great for teenagers off the front page. ?
Then add another story which writes this
"Most drug trials are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. And that, some critics say, can lead to a conflict of interest."
to make even more balance for the proprozac story which notes this
"A government-financed study has found that Prozac helps teenagers overcome depression far better than talk therapy"
Gimme some talk (or type therapy) but I warn you, I might kid about Jesus but I don't want to hear any disrespect either for Prozac or for Eliot Spitzer (who is suing the makers of Paxil not Prozac)
Hey wait the current headline on the front page of www.nytimes.com is
"Two Studies, Two Results, and a Debate Over a Drug"
Recall Journal of Record Paxil is not Prozac, Prozac is not Paxil. Jeez.
Correction: The above post incorrectly described the number of drugs considered in two studies with two results as reported in the New York Times. The number of such drugs was one, that is, Paxil (which works great according to one study) and Paxil which is a sugar pill (according to the other). RJWaldmann regrets the error.
