Number One Priority for the new Democratic Administration

A Patients' Bill of Rights

 

On July 25, 2004, The New York Times wrote: " The Democratic vice

presidential candidate Senator John Edwards, a longtime plaintiff

attorney, said that his proudest accomplishment in Washington thus far

was to help win Senate passage of a bill defining patients' rights,

including the right to sue. " Unfortunately, this bill never became law.

 

The first task for the new Democratic administration is a Patients'

Bill of Rights to protect the health interests of the American people

from the unscrupulous pharmaceutical investment business, which is

driven by the continuation of diseases.

 

The American people can no longer tolerate that the health and lives

of every family are threatened by an investment industry that

fraudulently promises health - yet, in fact, promotes diseases as

billion-dollar markets for its drugs. This " Pharma-Fraud " is the

largest organized fraud in history and the very foundation of the

pharmaceutical industry.

 

This Patients' Bill of Rights must protect patients' rights to free

access to lifesaving information about natural, nonpatentable

therapies, and it must secure the patients' right to sue drug makers

for the devastating side effects of their synthetic, patented drugs.

The Immediate Causes of the Current Health Care Crisis

 

The Bush Administration and the " Pharma-Fraud " Business

 

Do You Know the Facts That:

 

* The pharmaceutical and petrochemical (oil) industries are held

in the hands of the same financial interest groups, such as

Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan.

* The pharmaceutical industry has become the largest and most

profitable investment industry with annual gains in excess of $540

billion. (Source: Vatican, February 2004)

* The drug manufacturers were the largest donors to the 2000

presidential election campaign. Without this support, the Bush

administration would not be in the White House today.

* Key representatives of the pharmaceutical industry were

appointed as policy makers in the Bush administration, most notably

Donald Rumsfeld, a former pharmaceutical CEO and highly decorated drug

maker executive.

* Five out of 10 key legislative initiatives during the Bush

administration were nothing other than multi-billion dollar government

subsidy programs for the pharmaceutical drug cartel.

* With these kinds of politically motivated kickbacks amounting to

hundreds of billions of dollars, the pharmaceutical cartel is again

investing millions in the Bush re-election campaign.

 

Understanding the " Pharma-Fraud " Business

 

To prevent Bush from being re-elected and to ensure a new policy

direction, we need to unmask the interest group behind the Bush

administration - the unscrupulous " Pharma-Fraud " business.

 

Do You Know the Facts That:

 

* The pharmaceutical industry is not a naturally grown health

industry, but rather is an artificially designed investment " business

with disease. "

* The pharmaceutical industry promises health solutions to the

people of the world, yet the return on investment for this industry is

dependent on the continuation and expansion of diseases as drug markets.

* The engine of this " Pharma-Fraud " is the patentability of drugs,

a business principle that requires the elimination of all natural,

nonpatentable health approaches and the exclusive development of

synthetic patentable drugs, most of which have toxic side effects.

* The prevention and eradication of diseases can and will never be

in the interest of this industry because they threaten its return on

investment and eventually will destroy this investment business by

eliminating its marketplace - diseases.

 

The pharmaceutical investment business with disease is the largest

organized fraud operation in history - it promises health, yet

delivers diseases!

The Inhumane Dimensions of " Pharma-Fraud " and

its Cover-Up by the Bush Administration

 

The Heavy Toll of the " Pharma-Fraud " Business on the American People

 

The consequences of this " Pharma-Fraud " affect the health and lives of

every American - many of whom have already paid the ultimate price.

 

Do You Know the Facts That:

 

* More than 100,000 Americans die each year from the known deadly

side effects of prescription drugs, an epidemic only surpassed by the

deaths from cardiovascular disease and cancer. (JAMA, April 15, 1998)

* There is hardly any pharmaceutical drug without known deadly

side effects. These harmful drugs include, among many others, beta

blockers, calcium antagonists, chemotherapy drugs and cholesterol

blockers (statins).

* Statins are currently taken by 11 million Americans daily, yet

their health benefits remain doubtful as their side effects

accumulate. Fifty people died from taking the statin Baycol, and the

six million who have taken this drug are living on borrowed time.

* A recent study with statins in pregnant women published in the

New England Journal of Medicine on April 8, 2004 showed that 20 out of

52 babies - almost half of them - exposed to harmful statin drugs

during pregnancy were born with severe malformations.

* All chemotherapy drugs - the " Pharma-Fraud " answer to the cancer

epidemic - are severely toxic agents that damage all cells in the

body.Thus, the most frequent side effect of chemotherapy is the

development of new forms of cancer in patients taking these drugs.

* The " Pharma-Fraud " answer to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency

Syndrome) is AZT, a toxic agent that blocks the genetic material in

all cells, including the white blood cells required for the patient's

immune defense. Thus, the most frequent side effect of AIDS treatment

is an even more severe form of this disease.

 

There Must Be No Amnesty for the Ongoing " Pharma-Fraud " Business

 

The damage to the health of the American people and the economy of the

entire nation done by the " Pharma-Fraud " business far surpasses the

damage caused by the tobacco industry.

 

The health and lives of millions of people are being deliberately

sacrificed by the withholding of lifesaving health information for one

reason only - it is not patentable and less profitable. The patentable

synthetic drugs marketed instead cause severe side effects to an

extent that this has caused the fourth largest deadly epidemic among

American people - prescription drug death (JAMA 4/15/98). The costs to

society of this " Pharma-Fraud " amount to billions of dollars.

 

Similar to the tobacco litigation, the people, the communities and

states across America have filed lawsuits against drug makers to save

lives and to bring the multi-billion dollar " Pharma-Fraud " to an

immediate end. In the Baycol case, more than 10,000 complaints are

already pending against Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline.

 

In order to protect " Pharma-Fraud " and to allow this unscrupulous

business to continue, the Bush administration seeks to grant general

amnesty to the drug industry. Because no healthy-minded person would

support such a political favor - the Bush administration tried to sell

a " Trojan Horse " to the American people:

 

* First, they tried to hide the " Pharma-Fraud " amnesty behind the

so-called " medical liability litigation reform. "

* Second, they tried to insert the " Pharma-Fraud " amnesty into the

Patriot Act and other laws hastily created in the wake of September 11.

* Now, with little time left in their tenure, they have dropped

all pretense. In a dramatic change of established government policy,

they announced on July 24, 2004 their determination for a

comprehensive " Pharma-Fraud " amnesty by banning consumers from suing

drug manufacturers.

 

The Natural Health Alternatives and

the Efforts of the Bush Administration to Ban them

 

Lifesaving Natural Health Alternatives Deliberately Withheld From the

American People by the " Pharma-Fraud " Business

 

In order to conduct their global fraud operation, the drug industry

needed to eliminate the dissemination of effective, safe and natural

alternatives that are non-patentable and do not lend themselves to

financial speculation.

 

As a direct result of this health censorship, millions of Americans

did not get proper, lifesaving health information that would have

allowed the effective prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer and

other health problems.

 

This black out of essential health information was no easy task. For

decades, billions of dollars have been spent by the " Pharma-Fraud "

business to buy strategic influence from medical schools

(pharmacology), health care providers, the media, political parties

and, ultimately, the Bush administration.

 

The American people must learn immediately that scientific discoveries

have been made explaining why the three leading causes of death in

America, heart attacks, cancer and strokes, are essentially unknown in

the animal world.

 

Do You Know the Facts That:

 

* Most human diseases are essentially unknown in the animal world,

including cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes,

high blood pressure, cancer and other diseases.

* As opposed to humans, almost all animals produce large amounts

of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in their livers by converting it from

sugar. This vitamin is the single most important catalyst for the

production of collagen and elastin, the key molecules for stabilizing

blood vessels and connective tissues and, thereby, for the prevention

of cardiovascular disease and other conditions.

* AIDS - the greatest threat to the developing world - is not

reproducible in animal models. It has recently been shown to be best

managed by a combination of vitamins and other essential nutrients

that now can save millions of lives and billions in health care costs.

(NYT, July 1, 2004)

 

There is no reason why these diseases should continue to threaten

millions of people once their scientific cause has been understood.

And it has.

 

The Bush Administration's Final Coup: Abuse of WHO for Protection of

the " Pharma-Fraud " Business and a Global Ban on Natural Health

 

The people of America and all mankind have reached a stage where we

can liberate ourselves from the yoke of today's most common diseases

and from the " Pharma-Fraud " business.

 

It is the responsibility of and an opportunity for a new Democratic

administration to provide this ultimate service to the American

people, saving millions of lives and billions in health care costs.

 

This will be no easy path.The special interest groups behind

" Pharma-Fraud " will put up a fierce battle to protect their economic

privileges derived from their multi-billion dollar business with

disease. In this endeavor, the new Democratic administration needs the

full support of the people of America - and they will get it.

 

The rewards will be breathtaking: In coming generations, heart attacks

and strokes will be the exception, and today's most common diseases

will be essentially unknown. The resources set free will be used to

meet urgent needs in the areas of health, education, unemployment and

other pressing issues of mankind.

 

In a final coup, the Bush administration is trying to block this

liberation of mankind from the burden of disease.

 

Do You Know the Facts That:

 

* The Bush administration is spearheading an international effort

to outlaw the dissemination of information about the lifesaving health

benefits of vitamins, essential nutrients and other natural

non-patentable therapies.

* The Bush administration even abuses the World Health

Organization's Codex Alimentarius Commission for one purpose only: the

protection of the " Pharma-Fraud " business against the rapid advances

in the area of natural health. (For more information, visit our website.)

 

But this effort by the Bush administration - behind the backs of the

American people - is nothing but the last hurrah of a system that is

bound to die.

 

With the presidential election in November 2004, the people in America

have the opportunity to shorten this agony.

Isn't That Enough for the People of America?

 

You have the choice: You can continue sacrificing your health and life

for the perpetuation of the " Pharma-Fraud " business - or, you can take

action now to eradicate today's most common diseases and terminate the

" Pharma-Fraud. "

 

This November, vote only for politicians who guarantee your basic

health rights:

 

* Unrestricted patient right to sue drug makers for

life-threatening drug side effects

* Free patient access to lifesaving, natural, non-patentable

health measures
