Preservation of the scientific community's integrity is vital for regaining public trust in medicine. In this episode, Professor Lewis Grossman delves into America's historical relationship with healthcare, highlighting how trust in the medical establishment has fluctuated over time. He emphasizes the importance of balancing individual choice with scientific rigor, particularly in the context of alternative medicines and clinical trials, while also addressing societal factors that influence trust, including political events and the concentration of wealth in healthcare.

Throughout American history, lawmakers have limited the range of treatments available to patients, often with the backing of the medical establishment. The country's history is also, however, brimming with social movements that have condemned such restrictions as violations of fundamental American liberties. This fierce conflict is one of the defining features of the social history of medicine in the United States. In Choose Your Medicine: Freedom of Therapeutic Choice in America (Oxford UP, 2021), Lewis A. Grossman presents a compelling look at how persistent but evolving notions of a right to therapeutic choice have affected American health policy, law, and regulation from the Revolution through the Trump Era. Grossman grounds his analysis in historical examples ranging from unschooled supporters of botanical medicine in the early nineteenth century to sophisticated cancer patient advocacy groups in the twenty-first. He vividly describes how activists and lawyers have resisted a wide variety of legal constraints on therapeutic choice, including medical licensing statutes, FDA limitations on unapproved drugs and alternative remedies, abortion restrictions, and prohibitions against medical marijuana and physician-assisted suicide. Grossman also considers the relationship between these campaigns for desired treatments and widespread opposition to state-compelled health measures such as vaccines and face masks. From the streets of San Francisco to the US Supreme Court, Choose Your Medicine examines an underexplored theme of American history, politics, and law that is more relevant today than ever. Stephen Pimpare is director of the Public Service & Nonprofit Leadership program and Faculty Fellow at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.

Like the legal profession, the practice of medicine in the United States is highly regulated. But it hasn't always been, and the idea that a person has the right to try the medical therapies of their choice has a much longer history. In Choose Your Medicine: Freedom of Therapeutic Choice in America, law professor Lewis A. Grossman introduces readers to a fractious history with some unexpected combatants–and comrades. From his research, Grossman discovered that skepticism towards medical authorities has been the historical attitude Americans have held through the majority of the country's history. Instead, the deviation was the confidence and trust in science that held sway in the 1930s through the 1960s. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Grossman discusses these historical attitudes with the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles, and what these attitudes could mean for the country's public health. Grossman points out that views on medical choice don't map directly onto political views. During the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and 1990s, liberal gay activists teamed up with anti-regulation conservatives to demand the FDA change its policies and let HIV-positive people try drug treatments that hadn't yet completed the approval process. During the COVID-19 pandemic it appears conservatives are more likely to demand unproven drugs and treatments like hydroxychloroquine (touted by former President Trump) and the anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin, but there are numerous instances of vaccine hesitancy on either side of the political spectrum. Choose Your Medicine takes readers back to the time of "heroic medicine," where doctors advocated for extreme (and sometimes deadly) treatments like purgatives and bloodletting in the hope that some progress would be made towards cures. The book looks at pre-Civil War efforts to regulate the practice of medicine, and shows how they failed. It illuminates once-popular movements like Thomsonianism, practiced by followers of a 19th century herbalist named Samuel Thomson. One chapter of the book deals with the changes brought by the 1970s health movements. A cautionary tale from that time is Laetrile–a "medicine" made from apricot pits–which was touted as a wonder drug that could fight cancer. In practice, Laetrile did no such thing. But not all lobbying for alternative treatments has been a failure: Supporters of medical cannabis have been able to completely shift laws and attitudes towards marijuana over a relatively short amount of time. Other alternative treatments like acupuncture and chiropractic practices have become mainstream and successful. In this episode, Grossman–who started writing the book long before the COVID-19 pandemic began–discusses what it's been like to see a new field of battle develop over medical choice. He talks about the constitutional theories advocates have used to push for therapeutic choice. He also shares a story he tells his students at the beginning of every semester: the story of a college student named Abigail Burroughs, who was dying from cancer and seeking an experimental drug.

In this episode of DarshanTalks Podcast, the host Darshan Kulkarni Pharm.D, MS, Esq. and Guest Speaker Lewis A. Grossman discuss the Right to Therapeutic Choice. Lewis A. Grossman's recently launched book "Choose Your Medicine: Freedom of Therapeutic Choice in America" on the freedom of medicine in the USA. Lewis Grossman, Author, Counsel at Covington & Burling LLP (https://www.cov.com/) and Professor of Law at American University, Washington College of Law, had spoken about government interference in the 19th century on the healthcare industry. The conversation started off with the expert explaining his newly launched book based on freedom of therapeutic choices in America that is affected in American law and policy. The compelled speech doctrine sets out the principle that the government cannot force an individual or group to support certain expressions, this was discussed with compelled action which initially the host gave an example of how cigarette advertisements portray and mention that cigarettes are injurious to health whilst asking the expert to share his insights over this topic. He explains his constitutional law perspective on this subject that what government can make you do and what it cannot, he also mentioned about commercial speech is not protected as supposed to political speech or artistic speech. The conversation also included an interesting topic of off-labeling drugs and ancient drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin used to treat Covid-19. Furthermore, if the branded company would have endorsed or used these drugs the implications are discussed in this podcast. Also, the subject of monoclonal antibodies was discussed, monoclonal antibodies are proteins created in a lab. The proteins mimic your immune system and are meant to make COVID-19 disease milder in patients who are already sick. As per the expert, the monoclonal antibodies are disseminated by EUA and not FDA approved, highly expensive. They talked about the history of sciences, pharma history, and much more differentiating with the bio-hacking, monoclonal antibodies, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin being in the same spectrum. In the mid-segment, what constitutes to be bad-advertisements and how the FDA now is disseminating about bad-ad to the medical industry. Previous Podcast with Lewis A.
