I, too, do medical clinical trials in the Boston area. Maybe ones where you have a serious, potentially fatal disease should be classified differently than those done for product development. I’ve been a control in a 2 year arthritis study where they are trying to find advance indicators for arthritis in blood. I’m about to drink special cocoa for two weeks to determine if increasing a natural component in chocolate in candy will help blood flow for diabetics, etc. I’ve eaten specially coated corn flakes to see if these cereal additions contribute to better health. I’ve been a control in an MRI study tracing how the brain reacts to certain verbal and audible sounds by tracing active brain areas in controls and people with recent strokes. Etc. All my studies do contribute to future preventive medicines at minimal risk to myself, mostly just requiring blood draws and benign tracer markers already used in standard medical procedures.

I have a different opinion about medical research. Here in South Florida my husband, our older son and I participated in various types of medical and dental research. Not only was it fascinating, but sometimes downright funny! We were among the first people to ever try Listerine’s Pocket Pals back in the late 1990’s! We thought they were cool. Not only did we receive thorough physical examinations for free by licensed physicians (I checked their records online in advance…no complaints or criminal activity), but we got to participate in cutting edge, 21st century marketing. It was fun and interesting and required very little time. Over the years we’ve been guinea pigs for teeth whiteners (toothpaste), oral rinses, sunscreen lotion (where we were paid $1,000 each to lie around a pool for a week!), and vitamins. All without any harm to us whatsoever. We had to keep meticulous records during the studies and actually use the product as required, but it was a great way to earn some decent cash.
