Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 The following was taken as highlights from a book review of Lost Rights by James Bovard (which at the time of print was on sale at Amazon.com for$13,56, if interested) that was printed in the winter version of the Herbal Healer Academy News. Did you know: !) ...that the National Council of Health Fraud is an entity made up of people (ie. William Jarvis and Stephen Barrett, M.d.'s) that the FDA and the Pharmaceutical Advertising Counsel, or PAC (which represents some 35 major drug companies - and infiltrates your daily tv viewing), pay to discredit all herbs, vitamins, homeopathic remedies, etc., that are " unscientifcally " proven, but have the most promise, or present the greatest threat to the PAC members! 2) ...that though the FDA regularly approves dangerous, often lethal drugs that can only be detected after much widespread use, despite the $250-500,000,000 and 15 years it takes to bring these through the approval process, but never has one FDA official, PAC member company president, research asst., corporate official, company doctor nor testing lab been subjected to a raid, or threat of imprisonment, which has often happened to " alternative " practitioners! 3) ...that a ten year statistical follow-up initiated in 1986 in the New England Journal of Medicine, and completed in 1996 in Lancet has shown that as far as ALL cancers, the complete permanent remission, and return of quality of life is an abysmal 3% with the current regimen of radiation, surgery, and chemo, yet so-called alternative healing arts, are accused of offering false hope! 4) ...that the projected increase over 20 years of the now 2,500,000 national death rate from cancer, and the trauma and suffering to the patients, they're families, and the work force, that it is projected there will be an effect on 50,000,000 lives, and a funneling of $4 - 7.5 TRILLION dollars into the collective hands of the medical and pharmaceutical cartel; and you wonder why there's no " cure " ! 5) ...that by reversing the order of " GOD to WE the People...to the country...to the state...to congress " , we have relinquished various " freedoms " that we may not be aware of; hence, the suggestion to read the above book to " any person interested in protecting liberty " ! Obviously, I have not read the books, or any of it's references, but always want to hear both sides, not just the capitalistic bombardment fed to the masses by the media!
