Practitioner Calls For More Research In Women.
2001 APR 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The trend to categorize normal female body functions as diseases has generated billions of dollars for the medical and pharmaceutical industries, but has done little to solve women's health problems, according to Dr. Madeline Behrendt, a practicing chiropractor and vice-chair of the Council on Women's Health of the World Chiropractic Alliance.
In a paper published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, Behrendt notes that even though "women spend three out of four of all health care dollars and determine many of the health care choices for their family," research into alternatives to drugs and surgery for women is lacking.
The paper examines the biases towards women's health in the male-dominated research world and asserts that there is a growing resentment by women whose health problems are disregarded by researchers - even as they are being exploited by the drug and medical industries.
