A new study detects 396 clinical practices that should be reversed



A medical reversal is the need to stop a clinical activity because a well-done study shows that in the real world the desired results are not being met, or that the adverse effects don’t outweigh the benefits. In a previous review (2013) of over 2,000 NEJM articles, Vinay Prasad and his team already discovered 146 clinical practices that should be reversed and, given the significance of the finding, the Catalan Society of Healthcare Management (SCGS) invited Vinay Prasad to explain it to us live, which he did on March 18, 2018 (you can see the video of the conference at the link).

Now, a new, more ambitious review (2019) carried out by the same team, with over 3,000 articles from NEJM, JAMA and The Lancet, has identified 396 clinical activities that should be reversed, for the good of the patients and the good of the economy. The areas most in need of reversion are (see chart): cardiovascular diseases, medicine practised in critically ill patients, secondary prevention programs, cancer treatments, obstetrics and gynaecology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopaedics, etc., But there is also a need for the reversal in practices considered alternatives, such as certain behavioural therapies, mindfulness interventions, acupuncture, omega-3 or vitamin A dietary supplements, some community health programs, and introducing certain wearables.

Two conclusions from Vinay Prasad's team reviews

The first conclusion is that it’s necessary for governments and regulatory agencies to be more rigorous, and to be seriously involved in the methodologies that the industry presents to them to approve the efficacy and clinical effectiveness of all innovations, be new diagnostic devices, new surgical techniques or new medications. Please note that once a clinical practice has become popular, reversal is very difficult and also has a budget cut flavour.

The second conclusion is that governments and their agencies should further promote and finance independent evaluations of consolidated clinical practices, in order to confirm their clinical effectiveness and value perceived by patients.

In the two previous conclusions, between 25% and 40% of the budgets of all the health systems in the world are at stake, a waste that should be addressed if health is more valuable and more adjusted to the genuine needs of people.

  8. Powerful Herbal treatment is 100% guaranteed to cure Herpes Virus, The  main reason why most people are finding it difficult to get cured from HSV 1& 2  is because they believe on medical treatment, i want you to know that drugs and medical treatments is not helpful to cure HSV permanently but it can only help you control it but the truth is in life time it will still be inside your nervous system, But Natural roots/herbs are the best remedy which can easily eradicate herpes forever. I never believed it until I was helped and cured of my 2 months genital herpes with natural herbal medicines from Dr. OKITI . Where other medical prescribed drugs and treatments failed, Dr. OKITI herbal medication helped me and cured me from herpes virus permanently and I’m so grateful for this. You can also get help from this great and powerful African Herbalist called Dr. OKITI by reaching him via email: Drokitiherbalhome100@gmail.com or call/whatsapp him at +234 705 067 0365. Thank you so much Dr. OKITI.

  9. My name is Timothy Eric,i am from USA . Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr. USELU, but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr. USELU, then i contacted him through his email when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with her to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for check up after 3 weeks of taking the medication. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for check up after a month later , to my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes to reach him through (dr.uselucaregiver@gmail.com) OR Whatsapp him  (+234705289482)

  13. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

    He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.
