  The new cancer drugs that don’t work  
     
  The catch-cry of the skeptics has long been ‘medicine is medicine that works, and alternative medicine is medicine that doesn’t work’. Unfortunately, as we are reminded by a recent BMJ-published study on so-called ‘breakthrough’ cancer drugs, contrary to not just popular opinion, licensed drugs don’t need to be shown to work before they’re licensed. The public – and especially cancer patients – are at risk of being seriously misled and given false hope. Many presume the excruciating cost of the new, more targeted drugs makes them both safer and more effective. Find out more about the shocking facts behind this issue in our lead story, revealed with the assistance of our friend and leading UK health journalist, Jerome Burne.

Our second piece this week looks at how those of us in northern climes might prevent having a SAD winter. Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is preventable – and, sadly (pun intended), anyone who thinks the recommended daily allowance of vitamin D will help you avoid suffering the condition is mistaken. Read on below.
