On April 7, 2009, Federal investigators issued subpoenas for financial records of Dr. Scott Reuben, who is accused of faking data in 21 studies showing the benefits of Vioxx and Celebrex in the pain clinic that he headed at Baystate Medical Center in Massachusetts. He also was on the faculty of Tufts University Medical School. His work was funded by the drug companies that produced and marketed these drugs. I shudder to think of how many patients were harmed by the side effects of these drugs, which were presumed to be safe and effective. Natural alternatives such as Glucosamine, MSM, Boswellia and other substances are much safer and usually just as effective.
