I thought you might enjoy this hilarious look at new words to

describe our over-medicated society:

 

Medheads - People who take multiple prescription drugs on a daily

basis and, as a result, suffer from brain fog. They can be young (ADHD,

depression drugs), middle-aged (cholesterol drugs, diabetes drugs) or

elderly (Alzheimer's drugs, osteoporosis drugs, etc.). These are the

people you see on the road who drive for ten miles with their turn

signal on, who swing wide into the left lane before making a right

turn, and who take four full seconds to accelerate after the traffic

light turns green. Medheads. Not to be confused with Deadheads (who

are actually a lot more fun to talk to).

 

Black boxer - A consumer who takes drugs that are so dangerous, the

FDA requires the drug packaging to carry a large black box warning

about severe harm or death. Black boxers usually don't care about the

long-term harm to their health, they just want the pain (or other

symptom) to go away so they can get back to watching prime-time

television in relative comfort.

 

Drug madvertising - The practice of allowing drug companies to

advertise patented chemicals directly to consumers in order to create

demand for drugs that everyday people frankly do not understand. Every

country in the world bans the practice of Direct-To-Consumer (DTC)

drug advertising... except the United States, of course, where

consumers are subjected to a never-ending barrage of ridiculous drug

ads showing happy, healthy people popping purple pills they would

never consume in real life. Of all industrialized nations in the world,

only the U.S. (with the ever-caring support of the Food and Drug

Administration) endorses drug madvertising.

 

News repeater - Not be confused with a news reporter, a news repeater

is a person who gets paid to pretend to be a member of the press, but

who actually just regurgitates whatever health / medical news the drug

companies and the FDA are peddling this week. New miracle breast

cancer drug discovered! Vitamin E may kill you! Sunlight is deadly!

Don't trust Canadians (or their pharmacists)! Deadly, dangerous

Chinese herbs may have possibly killed someone somewhere! Drug

companies need billions of dollars in drug profits to find the cure

for cancer! Evidence-based medicine is credible! These are the type of

headlines constructed by news repeaters.

 

Fictitious disease - A fabricated disease invented for the sole

purpose of creating a new market for patented drugs. ADHD is the prime

example of a fictitious disease, and the psychiatric community is now

well-practiced at labeling human behaviors " brain chemistry imbalances

that need to be treated with chemicals. " Other fictitious diseases

include high cholesterol (it's not a disease, it's just a symptom),

hypertension (also not a disease, but rather a symptom), and even

osteoporosis (not a disease, just fragile bones caused by dietary and

lifestyle habits that can be easily reversed).

 

Diseasification - The process of spreading the fictitious diseases

through the population. This is how drug companies get rich: by

manufacturing disease and convincing people they now suddenly suffer

from it. See " Spontaneous Mass Diagnosis, " below. Diseasification is

greatly aided by drug madvertising (mass propaganda) designed to

change the way people think about health and disease. Fear of public

speaking used to merely be a fear. Now it's a disease, and there's a

drug to treat it. Menopause used to be menopause. Now it's a disease,

too. The former head of Merck, a man named Gadsden, once said he

wished to expand the drug market to healthy people, so he wouldn't be

limited to selling drugs only to sick people. He wanted people to take

drugs like they chew gum. What a visionary! (See Selling Sickness to

learn more.)

 

Spontaneous mass diagnosis - The process of redefining health in

order to instantly label as many consumers as possible with a

fictitious disease. Spontaneous mass diagnosis works by moving the

goalposts that define a disease state. A " normal " level of LDL

cholesterol used to be 130. Last year, a panel of corrupt medical

decision makers with under-the-table financial ties to drug companies

spontaneously decided that " normal " LDL cholesterol should be 100.

Overnight, ten million more Americans were suddenly afflicted with the

fictitious disease of high cholesterol. And the treatment for this

spontaneous disease? Statin drugs, of course. The aim of Big Pharma is

to make sure everyone fits the definition of at least one disease,

because the prescription drug lords know that once a person gets on

one prescription drug, the inevitable side effects will create other

health problems that need to be treated with even more drugs. Instant

recurring revenue! Now that's a clever marketing plan!

 

The Wall - Short for Walgreens, one of the top street corner

pharmacies in America. The Wall is where medheads and black boxers go

to buy dangerous drugs to treat their fictitious diseases because

they've been subjected to spontaneous mass diagnosis.
