Corruption in Drug Research - Corruption in Medicine - Dangers of

Modern Medicine: Iatrogenic Diseases

 

A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review

journals, and government health statistics shows that American

medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people

having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed

medicine is 2.2 million.1 Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995,

said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for

viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to

tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics. The number of

unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5

million.3 The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization

annually is 8.9 million.4 The total number of iatrogenic deaths shown

in the following table is 783,936. It is evident that the American

medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United

States. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the

annual cancer death rate, 553,251.5. As few as 5 percent and only up

to 20 percent of iatrogenic acts are ever reported.16,24,25,33,34 This

implies that if medical errors were completely and accurately

reported, we would have a much higher annual iatrogenic death rate

than 783,936. Dr. Leape, in 1994, said his figure of 180,000 medical

mistakes annually was equivalent to three jumbo-jet crashes every two

days.16 Our report shows that six jumbo jets are falling out of the

sky each and every day. Gary Null PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin

A report by the General Accounting Office in the United States

revealed that 51.5 per cent of all drugs introduced between 1976 and

1985 had to be relabelled because of serious adverse reactions found

after the marketing of these drugs. These included heart, liver and

kidney failure, foetal toxicity and birth defects, severe blood

disorders, respiratory arrest, seizures and blindness. The changes to

the labelling either restricted a drug's use or added major warnings.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 1.5 million

Americans were hospitalised in 1978 as a consequence of taking drugs

and some 30 per cent of all hospitalised people are further damaged by

their treatments. Every year, an estimated 140,000 Americans are

killed because of drug taking (21) and one in seven hospital beds is

taken up by patients suffering from adverse drug reactions. The

Pharmaceutical Drug Racket

 

Benjamin Rush MD - " Unless we put medical freedom into the

Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an

underground dictatorship... To restrict the art of healing to one

class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the

Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and

despotic and have no place in a republic... The Constitution of this

republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as

religious freedom. " Benjamin Rush, MD, a signer of the Declaration of

Independence and personal physician to George Washington

 

Dr. Schulze - " Over the last 80 years, organized medical groups

and pharmaceutical companies, using lawyers, bribes, lobbyist,

insurance companies and the strong arm of the Food and Drug

Administration, have been very busy. They have corrupted elected

officials to pass laws to remove any competition. They have crushed

Natural Doctors, Natural Medicine, and Self-Care. Their goal is to

monopolize health care and make us dependent on medical doctors and

pharmaceutical drugs. It almost worked! We have watched them pass more

and more laws restricting our rights; they have made many healing

herbs, foods and even nutrients illegal. Natural health professionals

that flourished a few decades ago are now barred by law to practice,

and Natural Doctors, Holistic Healers, Health Food Store Owners and

even family members of the sick have been arrested and jailed for

using natural remedies.

 

If you disagree with your doctor regarding the medical treatment

of your children, they can be taken away from you, put in a foster

home, and you can be arrested for endangering the health and welfare

of your child (more). There are many people jailed every year, put

there for disagreeing with medical doctors and their policies. In

order to break free from the clutches of organized medical crime,

pharmaceutical drug cartels and the monstrous insurance companies, we

must all work to change the unconstitutional laws that monopolize

health care. Dr. Schulze has tried to make changes in Washington and

was physically beaten and jailed. He then decided the best way for him

to create medical freedom was to take it to the people, his grass

roots Natural Healing Crusade. Dr. Schulze believes we can put the

medical and pharmaceutical industries in their place by educating

everyone in the healing powers naturally present in the human body and

how to use the foods and herbs given to us by God and Nature. Most

importantly each of us must stop using and supporting these deadly

industries by learning the healthy and natural God-given

alternatives. " Dr. Schulze, master herbalist

 

The FDA is a " partner " of the Pharmaceutical Industry - In an

unusually candid comment for a senior government official Dr. Herbert

Ley, former FDA commissioner, remarked: " The thing that bugs me is

that the people think the FDA is protecting them. It Isn't. What the

FDA is doing and what the public thinks it's doing are as different as

night and day. " more

ICC in The Hague Pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, Merck,

GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Amgen and Astra Zeneca are accused of

deliberately preventing life-saving natural alternatives to drug based

treatments from being applied in prevention and cure. A worldwide

Guylaine Lanctot, M.D. - The medical establishment works closely

with the drug multinationals whose main objective is profits, and

whose worst nightmare would be an epidemic of good health. Lots of

drugs MUST be sold. In order to achieve this, anything goes: lies,

fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the

drug companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and

lavish perks. The principal buyers are the public - from infants to

the elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated and vaccinated...at any

cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative medicine? Because they

are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money with

herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural remedies.

That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine, and that is

why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot

teach. They have their own sets of laws, and they force people into

them. That is a mafia. This sensational expose' also uncovers the

truth behind vaccines, AIDS, cancer, the World Health Organization,

the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank, and more. Guylaine

Lanctot, M.D is the author of The Medical Mafia: How To Get Out of It

Alive and Take Back Our Health and Wealth.

 

According to a set of essays published in the Public Library of

Science Medicine, drug companies are systematically inventing

non-existent diseases, or exaggerating minor ones, in order to sell

more of their products. The practice turns healthy people into

patients, and places many of them at risk of medically induced harm.

Minor, normal problems, such as the symptoms of menopause, have been

" medicalized " into treatable illnesses, and risk factors like high

cholesterol are being treated as diseases in their own right.

Conditions including female sexual dysfunction, attention deficit

hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and " restless legs syndrome " have all

been exaggerated and promoted by companies hoping to sell drugs. Even

ordinary shyness is often defined by drug companies as a social

anxiety disorder to be treated with antidepressants. Richard Ley, of

the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, pointed out

that some countries, including Britain, have legal safeguards against

drug industry " disease mongering. " Most of the criticisms, he argued,

apply primarily to countries like the United States, where drugs can

be advertised directly to patients. Public Library of Science Medicine

Death by Modern Medicine

A group of researchers meticulously reviewed the statistical

evidence and their findings are absolutely shocking. These researchers

have authored a paper titled " Death by Medicine " that presents

compelling evidence that today's system frequently causes more harm

than good. This fully referenced report shows the number of people

having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2

million per year. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed

annually for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of

unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5

million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary

hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year. The most stunning

statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by

conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now

evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death

and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable

to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths

attributable to cancer was 553,251.5)

 

 

The Truth About the Drug Companies : How They Deceive Us and What

to Do About In what should serve as the Fast Food Nation of the drug

industry, Angell, former editor of the prestigious New England Journal

of Medicine, presents a searing indictment of " big pharma " as corrupt

and corrupting: of Congress, through huge campaign contributions; of

the FDA, which is funded in part by the very companies it oversees;

and, perhaps most shocking, of members of the medical profession and

its institutions.

 

Jonathan Quick, director of Essential Drugs and Medicines Policy

for the World Health Organization (WHO) wrote in a recent WHO

Bulletin: " If clinical trials become a commercial venture in which

self-interest overrules public interest and desire overrules science,

then the social contract which allows research on human subjects in

return for medical advances is broken. " Former editor of the New

England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), Dr. Marcia Angell, struggled to

bring the attention of the world to the problem of commercializing

scientific research in her outgoing editorial titled " Is Academic

Medicine for Sale? " Angell called for stronger restrictions on

pharmaceutical stock ownership and other financial incentives for

researchers. She said that growing conflicts of interest are tainting

science. She warned that, " When the boundaries between industry and

academic medicine become as blurred as they are now, the business

goals of industry influence the mission of medical schools in multiple

ways. " She did not discount the benefits of research but said a

Faustian bargain now existed between medical schools and the

pharmaceutical industry.

 

Angell left the NEMJ in June 2000. Two years later, in June 2002,

the NEJM announced that it would now accept biased journalists (those

who accept money from drug companies) because it is too difficult to

find ones who have no ties. Another former editor of the journal, Dr.

Jerome Kassirer, said that was just not the case, that there are

plenty of researchers who don't work for drug companies.21 The ABC

report said that one measurable tie between pharmaceutical companies

and doctors amounts to over $2 billion a year spent for over 314,000

events that doctors attend. The ABC report also noted that a survey of

clinical trials revealed that when a drug company funds a study, there

is a 90 percent chance that the drug will be perceived as effective

whereas a non-drug company-funded study will show favorable results 50

percent of the time. It appears that money can't buy you love but it

can buy you any " scientific " result you want. The only safeguard to

reporting these studies was if the journal writers remained unbiased.

That is no longer the case. Cynthia Crossen, writer for the Wall

Street Journal in 1996, published Tainted Truth: The Manipulation of

Fact in America, a book about the widespread practice of lying with

statistics.22 Commenting on the state of scientific research she said

that, " The road to hell was paved with the flood of corporate research

dollars that eagerly filled gaps left by slashed government research

funding. " Her data on financial involvement showed that in l981 the

drug industry " gave " $292 million to colleges and universities for

research. In l991 it " gave " $2.1 billion. more

 

Strange as it may sound, when John D. Rockefeller was actively

destroying nature-based medicine in America and setting up Hitler to

enforce his I.G Farben cartel agreements throughout Europe, he himself

had a naturopathic and homeopathic doctor keeping him alive well into

his late 90's. Go figure. People please wake up and start taking an

active role in your own health. The MediSins will be waiting for you

if you do not take heed.

We could have an even higher death rate by using Dr. Lucien

Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate of 3 million. (14) Multiplied

by the fatality rate of 14% (that Leape used in 1994 (16)) we arrive

at an annual death rate of 420,000 for drug errors and medical errors

combined. If we put this number in place of Lazorou's 106,000 drug

errors and the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 98,000 medical errors, we

could add another 216,000 deaths making a total of 999,936 deaths

annually.

What Doctors Don't Tell You : The Truth About the Dangers of

Modern MedicineCorruption in drug research - Corruption in Medicine

Melody Peterson's front page investigative report in The New York

Times (released simultaneously with PBS broadcast with Bill Moyers),

exposes the fraudulent tactics used by the pharmaceutical industry and

its advertising agencies to promote new drugs.

 

Peterson reports how industry exercises control over medical

practice and research through covert promotion and financial

enticements to physicians. And she reports about corrupt marketing

practices that masquerade as research. Pharmaceutical Ad agencies

a.k.a. " medical education companies " have corrupted the scientific

literature to the point that it is unreliable.

 

Nine Percent Approval Rating? US Network Television News FAILS

" Big Pharma " ...

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

In 1999 " Big Pharma " went to the US Food and Drug Administration

(FDA) and got permission to advertise drugs, drugs, and more drugs

directly to the American consumer. Their intent, as it became

obvious, was two things: (1) sell more drugs to the American

consumer, and, (2) control the media, especially US television..

 

 

Dangerous Medicine is a public, open-access website where people

can post their horror stories about dangerous drugs, hospitals,

surgical procedures or anything else related to conventional medicine.

The site is intended to shed light on issues that the drug companies,

hospitals and the FDA would rather sweep under the rug. After all, the

reporting of dangerous drug side effects observed in patients isn't

even mandatory: It's VOLUNTARY!

 

 

Who's Running the Food andDrug Administration? - By Sindi Holmund

The drug companies basically run the FDA now and there's no one to

stop them from lobbying to have more and more laws passed that make it

illegal for natural preventions and cures to be disseminated to the

general public. Which is why the alternative health field has such a

difficult, if not, impossible time letting you know what's' available

to help you.

 

 

Americans Flee to India, and Elsewhere, for Better Health Care...

According to the newspaper " Times of India, " 150,000 people,

mostly from the United States, went to India last year for Medical

care. Called " medical tourism " the numbers are growing at 15% per

annum and by 2012, that " medical tourism " is expected to generate

$2.3 billion annually in India. As one representative of an Indian

Hospital, Anne Marie Moncure, MD, of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital,

says, " Every year, 98,000 patients die in US hospitals due to medical

negligence and three to four times that number are left

permanently-disabled. "

 

The United States Medical Care system, rated a poor

seventy-second (72nd), worldwide, has been teetering on the brink of

destruction for years now. Greed, malfeasance, misfeasance, grand

corruption, murderous intent, and a self-centeredness unequaled in

history has led the system to the abyss. The system, the most

expensive in the world, IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF AMERICANS. Above

heart disease, cancer and stroke, the medical system, itself, is

responsible for the unnecessary deaths of 783,936 Americans EVERY

YEAR. There are no estimates of how many are damaged or disabled by it.

 

 

FRAUD IN DRUG TESTING " Data fabrication is so widespread " , says Dr

Braithwaite, " that it is called 'making' in the Japanese

pharmaceutical industry, 'graphiting' or 'dry labelling' in the United

States. " He further states: " Pharmaceutical companies face great

temptations to mislead health authorities about the safety of their

products. It is a make or break industry - many companies get

virtually all their profits from just two or three therapeutic

winners. " Inquiries into scientific fraud in the US have shown there

is a substantial problem of fraud in safety testing of drugs in the

US, just as has been documented in Japan. "

 

Between 1977 and 1980 the FDA have discovered 62 doctors who had

submitted manipulated or downright falsified clinical data. (6) A

study conducted by the FDA has revealed that one in five doctors

investigated, who carry out field research of new drugs, had invented

the data they sent to the drug companies, and pocketed the fees.

Citing case examples, Dr Braithwaite states: " The problem is that most

fraud in clinical trials is unlikely to even be detected. Most cases

which do come to public attention only do so because of extraordinary

carelessness by the criminal physician... " more

Too Profitable to Cure by Brent Hoadley, Ph.D.

 

The pharmaceutical industry creates and maintains chronic diseases

in pursuit of unholy profits—at the expense of patients' health. From

the government's alphabet soup agencies—HHS, FDA, CDC, NIH—to our

institutions of higher learning; from charitable advocates, like the

American Diabetes Association, to the powerful American Medical

Association; from the media to our politicians—all are inextricably

intertwined and dancing to a tune choreographed by a higher power: Big

Pharma.

 

Diabetes is only one shining example of the pharmaceutical

industry's criminal pursuit of profits. Patients' health, patients'

lives, patients' freedom—all are fair game in the quest for limitless

wealth and unbridled power. The medical industry has allowed the

encroachment by Big Pharma and their lobby into our lives. DTC

advertising now supplants doctor-patient cooperation. Pharma PR is

thrown at the media in the guise of " news. " Pharmaceutical sales reps

now supply more " education " to physicians than CME courses. In other

words, Big Pharma has climbed to the top of the totem pole; medical

professionals stubbornly cling to their subordinate position; and the

poor patient (pun intended) supports the entire structure. Do I need

to tell you that the support is vulnerable and under attack? Whether

it can remain viable is, or should be, a question of great concern.

The Laws of the Pharmaceutical Industry

 

The main principles governing the pharmaceutical " business with

disease. " It is not in the financial interests of the pharmaceutical

industry to prevent common diseases – the maintenance and expansion of

diseases is a precondition for the financial growth of this industry.

 

Matthias Rath, M.D. - " In recent years the pharmaceutical industry

has been exposed as a multi-trillion dollar `investment business with

disease' the future of which is dependent on the continuation and

expansion of diseases. The very existence of the pharmaceutical

industry is currently threatened. Damage claims from the deadly

side-effects of one single drug are bringing down Bayer, the flag ship

of this industry. The ensuing `domino effect' would inevitably cripple

this largest investment sector on earth. At the same time, scientific

advances in non-patentable natural health offer effective, safe and

affordable alternatives to the multi-trillion dollar market of

patented drugs. "

 

" The survival of the pharmaceutical industry is dependent on the

elimination by any means of effective natural health therapies. These

natural and non-patentable therapies have become the treatment of

choice for millions of people despite the combined economic, political

and media opposition of the world's largest investment industry. To

protect the strategic development of its investment business against

the threat from effective, natural and non-patentable therapies, the

pharmaceutical industry has – over an entire century - used the most

unscrupulous methods, such as:

 

 

(1) Withholding life-saving health information from millions of

people. It is simply unacceptable that today so few know that the

human body cannot produce vitamin C and lysine, two key molecules for

connective tissue stability and disease prevention.

(2) Discrediting natural health therapies. The most common way is

through global PR campaigns organized by the Pharma-Cartel that spread

lies about the alleged side effects of natural substances – molecules

that have been used by Nature for millennia.

(3) Banning by law the dissemination of information about natural

health therapies. To that end, the pharmaceutical industry has placed

its lobbyists in key political positions in key markets and leading

drug export nations. " Dr. Rath Health Foundation

The most underreported crime of the century.

by Thomas Smith

 

The Journal of the American Medical Association recently reported

that as many as 106,000 deaths occur annually in US hospitals due to

adverse reactions to prescription drugs that are properly prescribed

by physicians that use them as directed by the drug companies.

 

Even worse, the National Council for Patient Information and

Education reported that an additional 125,000 deaths occur annually

due to adverse reactions to drugs that the physician never should have

prescribed. In these deaths the doctor did not follow the instructions

on proper administration of the drugs. For example, Glucophage, a

diabetic oral hypoglycemic, should never be prescribed for patients

with Kidney disease or Congestive Heart Failure because it can cause

fatal Lactic Acidosis in these patients. A warning label is

prominently placed on the medication container to warn of this

potential misuse.

 

However, JAMA reported that almost 1/4 of the patients who had

been prescribed Glucophage had Kidney damage or Congestive Heart

failure or both. The annual death toll from synthetic prescription

drugs, both from the correctly prescribed and the incorrectly

prescribed, amounts to about 231,000 deaths every year. To put this

into perspective, this is the equivalent of a world trade center

disaster every week for over a year and a half or the crash of two

fully loaded 747 aircraft every day of the year.

 

No information was reported on the number of outpatient and

doctor's office deaths caused by these very same drugs when prescribed

by these very same doctors. The reported figures alone, however, make

drug deaths caused by physicians the third leading cause of death in

the US. It is far ahead of accidents, drunk driving, homicides,

airline accidents, as well as all other disease with the sole

exceptions of cancer and heart disease.

 

Many of these drugs responsible for the death statistics cited

are diabetic drugs. None of these drugs cure or even were intended to

cure diabetes. During the time a patient is on the drugs his body is

suffering great damage due to the uncontrolled progress of the

disease. This is in addition to the risk and damage caused by the drug

itself. (more info: natural diabetes treatments)

 

According to Dr. Mendelsohn, author of " Confessions of a Medical

Heretic " , 2.4 million unnecessary operations are performed every year

and they cost over 12,000 lives. When the records of six New York

hospitals were examined it was found that 43% of the Hysterectomies

that were performed were medically unnecessary. No one should ever

submit to any surgical procedure without first obtaining several

unrelated medical opinions, at least not here in the United States.

Women are particularly vulnerable to this type of victimization.

 

Disease in America

According to the World Health Report 2000 the United States ranks

twelfth, that is second from the bottom, in their thirteen country

survey of sixteen available health indicators. We are dead last for

low birth weight and neonatal and infant mortality. We rank between

ninth and twelfth for all life expectancy categories between one year

and 40 years. Another study ranked the United States as fifteenth in

the twenty-five industrialized countries studied.

 

Diabetes, Hypoglycemia, Hyperinsulinemia are so widespread in the

United States that it is estimated that over half the population

exhibits one or more symptoms of these life destroying diseases.

Symptoms of Adult onset diabetes are now being routinely noted in six

year old children. Obesity and it's related Endocrine dysfunction are

commonly observed in teenagers. Heart Failure, a symptom of advanced

Type II Diabetes, remains in the top three killer diseases in the

Westernized countries.

 

Although the cause and cure for Type II Diabetes and related

endocrine failure has been increasingly well understood in the

scientific community for the last forty years, this disease is not

being cured by todays orthodox treatment regimens. In order to find a

cure it is necessary to seek alternative medical approaches to this

disease.

 

Some of the economics of Medicine

A large part of this medical disaster that the United States

currently experiences is due to the way our medical community is

organized. Basically it is not organized to heal and to cure disease;

the medical community, particularly at its upper levels, is a

commercial venture organized to make money for its practitioners.

 

Although the record of the United States Medical community in the

cure of disease is deplorable, the same cannot be said for its ability

to produce income and profit. For example, for the top fifteen

pharmaceutical companies, including such names as Abbot, Wyeth,

Hoffman-La Roche, Merck and others, the second quarter revenue for

2002 was reported as $63,520.6 million and the corresponding reported

income was 11,731.8 million respectively. This is second only to the

defense industry in the United States.

 

In 1997, the latest year for which we have the figures, the

earnings of physicians were reported by Broad as averaging around

$200,000 per year. The lowest reporting specialty, Rheumatology

reported $158,500 and the highest, cardiovascular surgeon, reported

$363,300. When examining the numbers, we noted that the high salaries

seemed to be concentrated in members of the AMA. Those belonging to

less powerful trade unions did not fare nearly so well even though

they did most of the actual patient care work. For example, the median

staff salary of registered nurses was $35,256

 

The Cardiac surgeon, for example, does nothing whatsoever to

cure cardiac disease. Three to five percent of the heart surgery

patients die on the operating table. Cardiac surgery provides no

better three year survival rate than no treatment at all. A Harvard

survival study of 200,000 patients revealed that the long term

survival rate of patients subjected to surgery was no better than the

survival rate of those that had no surgery.

 

Of course, your cardiac surgeon will not tell you this when you

need to make a decision on whether or not to elect cardiac surgery.

Never in history have so many accumulated so much wealth for providing

their customers or clients or patients with so little real benefit.

 

Exceptions to the rule

Many doctors of integrity are as much victims of the system as are

their patients. Todays doctor is not free to treat disease as his

conscience dictates. He is forced to administer approved protocols

whether they are known to work or not. To deviate from these approved

protocols invites law suits, peer criticism and censure from State

medical licensing boards.

 

This writer knows of two local doctors who tried to buck the

establishment and really help their patients. Both lost their license

to practice medicine. One is currently working as an administrator in

a California hospital and the other has started a nutritional clinic.

 

Takeover of the American medical Association

This sad state of affairs is directly traceable to the takeover of

the American Medical Association by the Carnegie and Rockefeller

foundations in the early part of the twentieth century.

 

At the turn of the century the medical community was in a sad

state of disrepair. There were no qualifications to become a doctor.

If one wanted to be a doctor it was only necessary to hang out a

shingle and start the practice of medicine. Medical schools were

poorly financed, often taught contradictory medical philosophies and

had little impact on the practice of medicine. In 1910 the American

Medical Association, todays AMA, was on the verge of bankruptcy. Few

doctors belonged to it and even fewer paid any attention to it.

Quackery of all kinds was rampant. The market was flooded with fake

cancer cures and 80 proof liver tonic.

 

It was in this environment that Rockefeller and Carnegie moved in

and bought the AMA and then used it to take control of the entire

United States medical establishment. In 1910, Henry Prichard president

of the Carnegie foundation, bought control of the AMA for the sum of

$10,000. He then financed the publication of the Flexner report, as it

was then called, to gain popular support for the changes that were to

be made in the medical community. With public backing secured by the

publication of the Flexner report, Carnegie and Rockefeller commenced

a major upgrade in medical education by financing only those medical

schools that taught what they wanted taught. Predictably, those

schools that had the financing churned out the better doctors.

 

In return for the financing, the schools were required to teach

course material that was exclusively drug oriented. That is why today

our doctors are so heavily biased toward synthetic drug therapy and

know little or nothing about nutrition.

 

Dr. David Edsall, former dean of Harvard medical school, said " I

was, for a period, a professor of Therapeutics and Pharmacology, [at

Harvard] and I knew from experience that students were obliged then by

me and by others to learn about an interminable number of drugs, many

of which were valueless, many of them useless, some probably even

harmful.... "

 

For a time, these changes actually improved the practice of

medicine in the United States. Then, as the distorted medical

curriculum began to churn out doctors whose only concern was

prescribing synthetic drugs, things began to deteriorate into what we

see today.

 

Today the average medical doctor receives 3 hours or less

training on nutrition despite the fact that our bodies are constructed

entirely of what we eat and drink. Todays doctor receives much of his

ongoing education from detail men. The detail man is the drug company

salesman whose job it is to teach the doctor how to use the latest drugs.

 

Treatment instead of cure

Even with all of this history the medical doctor retained a great

deal of his autonomy through the 1930's and into the late 1940's. In

1949 another major change took place in the medical community that set

the stage for the disaster we see today. It was in 1949 that the

medical community reorganized itself into the competing medical

specialty groups we see today. Prior to 1949 a doctor was a doctor; he

dealt with all disease and injury. After 1949 this was not so.

 

The reorganization established many of the specialties that we

know today. It was then that the Cardiac Specialist, the

Endocrinologist, the Hepatic and Biliary Specialist and many other

professional specialty groups were formed. The symptoms of the then

raging epidemic of Type II Diabetes were divided among the specialty

groups so that each group had their own set of proprietary symptoms.

 

The story given out for the reorganization was that it would help

to focus more attention on the then current Diabetes epidemic.

However, in practice it caused the entire medical community to treat

their own proprietary symptom set and nobody focused on curing the

disease anymore. This was the origin of the " treat the symptom " and

" ignore the cause " philosophy that now dominates the entire medical

community.

 

This was the turning point event that led to the removal of the

word " cure " from the medical vocabulary. Today, if you mention the " c "

word around your doctor he will usually glaze over and pretend not to

hear you. He only responds to the word " treatment " .

 

Under the Rockefeller and Carnegie influence their pharmaceutical

firms started to pour out the vast array of synthetic drugs that the

doctors trained to their medical school standards now prescribed

almost to the exclusion of any other remedies. Among the first drugs

to be marketed this way were the oral hypoglycemic agents. They were

deliberately designed to treat the symptom while not curing the disease.

Insurance fraud.

 

Since the name of the medical game was money, a means had to be

devised to provide the patient with money that could only be used to

pay for approved medical treatment. Enter the insurance company

concept. Today employees have, as an important part of their

remuneration for their work, a health insurance policy. This health

insurance policy does not pay for all health related needs; it only

pays for those health related services that are approved. These, of

course, are the synthetic drug therapies that are known to work

poorly, if at all.

 

In order to secure effective medical treatment from the

alternative sector of the economy the patient must pay for it himself;

insurance companies specifically exclude virtually all alternative

treatment. One wonders why so many continue to pay for an insurance

program that cannot, even in principle, be of any real benefit to them.

 

Government coercion in medical practice

In the ordinary course of events, good medicine would eventually

drive out bad medicine. As more and more people discover ways to

maintain and improve their health, without drug therapy, they will

simply abandon bad medicine and resort to alternative therapies.

 

Indeed, this is happening. Also happening is a concerted

government effort to discredit and declare unlawful those effective

therapies that represent the greatest threat to orthodox medicine. In

the last fifty years many effective cures have been developed for many

of the major killer diseases that we have. In each instance the

developer has been branded a quack, his business has been ruined and

in some cases he has been sent to jail.

 

Even with outright governmental attacks on those that would

promote effective therapies in America, the tide is turning. More and

more Americans are waking up to the reality of our medical community.

More and more they are finding it to be a fraud and they are turning

to less conventional treatments and modalities.

Informed Americans that require effective medical treatment for

anything more serious than a head cold are turning away from orthodox

drug quackery in droves. The medical community is trying hard to make

it illegal to refuse their treatment. A major effort is currently

underway (Codex) to severely restrict the availability of nutritional

supplements to those that use them throughout the world. Our

government is seriously considering mandatory vaccination programs.

 

Many believe that our Food and Drug Administration, FDA,

represents the American people and that the FDA acts to insure that

our food and drugs are safe and effective. Nothing could be further

from the truth. The FDA acts entirely to restrain and manage

competition between and among those that manufacture our food and

drugs. They do this only for the purpose of minimizing competition in

business. Rockefeller is famous for proclaiming the only sin is

competition.

 

Willy Ley, a former head of the FDA, said it best when he said

" What the Food and Drug Administration does and what the public thinks

that it does are a different as night and day " .

Today in America the practice of medicine is not free. It is one

of the most tightly controlled commercial enterprises in the world.

That is why it produces such extraordinary income for it's favored and

such misery, disease and death for its victims.

 

What to do

Given the growth of the medical monster that ate the United

States, what can we who live here do to effectively manage our own health.

 

Perhaps the single most important thing that we all must do is to

recognize that our health is our most important possession. We have no

choice but to accept total responsibility for our own health. To leave

such an important consideration to someone who clearly has much to

gain by lying to us just does not make sense. Typically, we buy our

cars and houses with a great deal more wisdom than we bring to the

doctor's office when we go there.

 

The modern orthodox medical community treats symptoms; they do

not cure disease. When you visit the doctor, it is perfectly in order

for you to ask bluntly whether or not the treatment he wants to give

you will cure the disease you have.

 

Some years ago, when I had a serious case of Type II Diabetes, I

asked my doctor that question about the treatment he offered me. First

he pretended he did not hear me. When I persisted and made eye contact

and repeated the question he replied " this is the prescribed

treatment " . Such an evasive answer to such a direct question sent me

to the library where I did the research to get a better answer. I

quickly discovered that the drug he offered me would not only not cure

the disease, but that it was guaranteed to put me on the road to

becoming an invalid long before my time.

 

Fortunately I rejected his treatment. I went on to search the

scientific literature where I quickly found what I needed. It had

nothing to do with synthetic drugs. It took me about 3 1/2 months to

fully reverse my diabetes. That was seven years ago. The disease

remains in full remission to this day. natural diabetes treatments

 

There is one important caveat that must be mentioned at this

point. If you are currently under a doctors care and are dissatisfied

with the results you are getting, do not just stop taking the

prescribed medication. Get your doctor, or another doctor if yours

will not cooperate, to help wean you off prescription drugs and to

help you to devise a workable alternative therapy. Many of these

synthetic drugs will produce serious side effects if they are abruptly

discontinued. When I had the problem I had not yet taken prescription

medication.

 

After accepting full responsibility for your own health, the

second most important consideration is to do your homework and learn

about the disease or disability that you have. Buy books, attend

seminars, to newsletters, search the internet, learn about

what it takes to actually reverse the disease that afflicts you.

Investigate alternative medical practitioners. Many Naturopaths and

Chiropractors can be of great help in actually curing disease. Do not

fall for the idea that only doctors are smart enough to understand

these things

.

Look for that unusual doctor that will risk really trying to help

you; and, realize that he is taking a substantial risk when he does

so. In other words, do the best you can to find something better for

yourself than what your doctor offers. Help each other. If you

discover something important, don't be afraid to share the

information. Be vocal when government organizations attempt to

restrict or deny your access to natural nutritional supplements.

 

If you are fortunate to find a doctor with this kind of

integrity, understand the importance of what you have found and give

him all of the support that you can give. There is a medical doctor in

California, we will call him Doctor Q, that refused to compromise his

integrity in his practice of medicine. He ended up in jail, put there

by his fellow doctors. His patients got together, got him out of jail

and had a special bill passed in the State legislature to protect his

practice of medicine. Today he still runs a flourishing practice where

he ministers to patients from all over this country. He is actually

curing disease not just treating it.

 

Third, after accepting responsibility for your own health and

becoming informed, recognize that medicine is a business. Your doctor

is a paid consultant just like your electrician or plumber and he is

listed in the same yellow pages. You have every right to get the

information for which you are paying. When your doctor retreats into

arrogance and refuses to provide direct answers to direct questions,

consider getting another doctor. There really are many safe and

effective therapies that go far beyond drugs. However, we must demand

them on the firing line, in the doctor's office, when we need them.

Scandal of scientists who take money for papers ghostwritten by

drug companies Scientists are accepting large sums of money from drug

companies to put their names to articles endorsing new medicines that

they have not written - a growing practice that some fear is putting

scientific integrity in jeopardy. The success of Prozac, the

antidepressant which became a cult " happy " drug in the 1990s,

substantially raised the stakes in psychiatry. Its promotion coincided

with the decline of state funding for research, leaving scientists in

all areas of medicine dependent on pharmaceutical companies to fund or

commission their work. That in turn gave the industry unprecedented

control over data and ended with research papers increasingly being

drafted by company employees or commercial agencies.

redefined as serious illnesses requiring drugs - courtesy of drug

companies seeking to expand their markets. Conflicts of interest

abound in the process - expert physicians serving to set treatment

protocols or approve drug use are often on the payroll of the very

drug companies they are supposed to regulate; similarly, " support

groups " for those with various maladies are often partly funded by

drug companies seeking endorsements. Another strategm is to utilize

scary statistics - eg. " 33% decrease, " instead of lowers risk from 3%

On The Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can

Endanger Your Health

Jerome Kassirer M.D former editor-in-chief of the prestigious New

England Journal of Medicine.

 

" Some physicians become known as whores. " This is strong language

in Kassirer's look at how big business is corrupting medicine—but

according to Kassirer, one doctor's wife used the word " whore " to

describe her husband's accepting high fees to promote medical

products. Such personal anecdotes distinguish Kassirer's look at the

conversion of America's health-care system into a commercial

enterprise. Kassirer, former editor-in-chief of the prestigious New

England Journal of Medicine, notes the range of conflicts of interest

between profit-centered business and people-centered medicine, such as

the drug industry's huge expenditures (in the billions) for courting

doctors to use their products, for recruiting physicians to tout their

drugs or, more slyly, to present seemingly objective medical

discussions that, on closer examination, do favor the company's

product over others.

The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What

to Do About It

by Marcia Angell M.D, Former New England Journal of Medicine

 

A political tidal wave is building which will forever change both

the industry and many of its infamous business practices. It is sad to

note that the drug industry today is equally poorly regarded as the

tobacco companies, and this is a testament not only to the

shortsighted foolishness of their management, but also to the fact

that you can fool some of the customer some of the time, but not all

of them all the time.

 

Medical Journal Changes Policy of Finding Independent Doctors to

Write - June 2002: The New England Journal of Medicine will announce

that it has given up finding truly independent doctors to write and

review articles and editorials for it, as a result of the financial

ties physicians have with so many drug companies in the United States

The Journal says the drug companies' reach is just too deep. In 2000,

the drug industry sponsored more than 314,000 events for physicians —

everything from luncheons to getaway weekends — at a cost of almost $2

billion. On top of that, many doctors accept speaking and consulting

fees that link them to drug companies. Now, the Journal will allow

these critical evaluations to be written by people with financial ties

to drug companies.

THE MEDICAL MAFIA: How To Get Out of It Alive and Take Back Our

Health and Wealth by Guylaine Lanctot, M.D. - The medical

establishment works closely with the drug multinationals whose main

objective is profits, and whose worst nightmare would be an epidemic

of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be sold. In order to achieve this,

anything goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors are the principal

salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded with research

grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The principal buyers are the public -

from infants to the elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated and

vaccinated...at any cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative

medicine? Because they are serving the industry, and the industry

cannot make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot

patent natural remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They

control medicine, and that is why they are able to tell medical

schools what they can and cannot teach. They have their own sets of

laws, and they force people into them. That is a mafia. This

sensational expose' also uncovers the truth behind vaccines, AIDS,

Linda Johnston, MD, DHt - " Many efforts were used to advance the

allopaths by discrediting, restricting and abolishing the Homeopaths.

Typical were the laws passed in the early 1800's to prevent any

practitioners of medicine other than the allopaths from being able to

go to court to collect non-payment of fees. In every case, these and

other similar laws were unenforceable and extremely unpopular with the

citizenry. All were repealed within a few years. Undaunted, the

allopathic doctors then turned to their own medical societies rather

than the legislative process to carry out their desire for effective

restriction of Homeopathy. Allopaths granted themselves the right to

restrict society membership, which was tantamount to licensing powers.

Fines were levied against anyone practicing medicine without such a

society membership. They had successfully usurped the power to control

who could practice. Eventually even these fines were also rescinded

due to unpopularity with the citizens. Pennsylvania and New York were

the first states to forbid membership in the society by medical

doctors who practiced Homeopathy. State medical society membership and

representation in the AMA required that these societies purge

themselves of any member Homeopaths. After 1847, all state societies

did this, except Massachusetts. In addition, professional exchange,

consultation and even conversation between allopaths and Homeopaths

were banned. This ban on interaction between the two groups is a

striking example of how a private organization, the AMA, could

completely flout the public will, and take punitive action for

something that was totally legal. " Homeopathy, Economics, and Government

The FDA " partner " of the Pharmaceutical Industry

 

In an unusually candid comment for a senior government official

Dr. Herbert Ley, former FDA commissioner, remarked: " The thing that

bugs me is that the people think the FDA is protecting them. It Isn't.

What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it's doing are as

different as night and day. "

 

The FDA is good for business. To expect it to protect the public

from bad food and drugs is an American fantasy. There is a process in

place called " double dipping " . In the FDA it works like this. A young

Ph.D. leaves school to work for the FDA. He soon makes connections

with senior officials in the corporate business he is supposed to

regulate. It isn't long before an understanding emerges. His

" regulation " of the corporate business won't negatively impact their

bottom line. In return he can look forward to a cushy vice presidency

with the corporation after he retires from federal service. Is this

why this regulatory agency fails to regulate big business activities?

YOUR HEALTH FREEDOM IS IN JEOPARDY

 

Dr Benjamin Rush " Unless we put medical freedom into the

Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an

underground dictatorship... To restrict the art of healing to one

class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the

Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and

despotic and have no place in a republic... The Constitution of this

republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as

religious freedom. "

 

James DeMeo, Ph.D. " In recent years, there has been an upsurge of

police activities in the USA, the nature of which most Americans would

more readily associate with repressive dictatorships. We Americans

have been educated to believe that democracy, due process, assumed

innocence-until-proven-guilt, and Constitutional protections against

illegal search and seizure are the laws of the land. On paper, these

protections are there; but in reality, these basic Constitutional

rights and freedoms have been gradually and steadily eroded away by

new laws, judicial rulings, and bureaucratic decrees. One of the

lesser-known but more significant leaders of this assault on American

freedom has been the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). " more

Medicine by Daniel Haley

An ex-congressman from N.Y., Haley has written an historical

account of immense importance. Here are detailed the true stories of

ten physicians and their non-toxic cancer and other medical cures that

were smashed by a pharmaceutical -AMA - federal machine which

continues today. For anyone interested in the truth behind who

controls the FDA and other federal agencies this is a must read. All

health care professionals need to have a look at the reality existing

today in the manipulation of the health care system as shown in these

stories. POWERFUL!

 

Seven drugs approved since 1993 have been withdrawn after reports

of deaths and severe side effects. A two-year Los Angeles Times

investigation has found that the FDA approved each of those drugs

while disregarding danger signs or blunt warnings from its own

specialists.

 

" Risk Was Known as FDA OKd Fatal Drug " At least one senior

manager believed that if an FDA medical officer who had questioned the

drug's safety and effectiveness didn't please the company, he would be

" out. " The records also shed new light on the state of knowledge

within Warner-Lambert of Rezulin's potential danger: Executives knew

that patients who took the drug in clinical studies had suffered

life-threatening liver damage -- yet the company assured an FDA panel

that the risk was trivial. Los Angeles Times Sunday, March 11, 2001

 

Most Doctors Who Set Guidelines Have Industry Ties " The vast

majority of doctors involved in establishing national guidelines on

disease treatment have financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry

that could potentially sway their recommendations and inappropriately

influence thousands of other physicians.Eighty-seven percent of

guideline authors had some type of relationship with drug companies. "

Dr. Mercola

 

" The medical industrial complex refers to the close-knit

association of organised medicine with pharmaceutical manufacturers

and governmental medical regulatory agencies. The connections between

these groups is of course, a web of money, power, and prestige.

Selling medical drugs is very big business. Medical research is

dependant on $ billions of grants from the National Institutes of

Health (N.I.H.) and the private pharmaceutical industry. The two are

closely interlocked; managers in one tend to come from success in the

other with many examples of interchangeable personnel. " " Licensed

doctors are easy to control. All practising U.S. physicians must

accumulate a given number of hours of continual medical education or

C.M.E. But where does he acquire his C.M.E credits? From authorised

C.M.E. Seminars - that's where! And who authorises which seminar for

C.M.E. credits? Organised medicine, That's who! And who sponsors and

who provides the speakers for C.M.E. credited seminars? The

pharmaceutical industry and it's great funded corps of academic

researchers, that's who!U.S. physicians are captive audience for

pharmaceutical advertising. This applies to other countries as well.

They learn which drugs to prescribe. They do not learn of alternative

procedures and perhaps better ways of caring for their ill patients. "

INSANE PSYCHIATRY A Profession Run Amok By Nicholas Regush

February 16, 2002 - There is no drug that can cure modern

psychiatry. This is a profession that is close to routinely practicing

medical terrorism by shamelessly over-prescribing drugs to people of

all ages, often for phantom diseases and for purposes that have no

rational basis in science. What's needed is something akin to a War

Crimes Tribunal to investigate psychiatry's relationship to major

pharmaceutical companies. Haul all the bigproduct champions and

psychiatry associations in and determine their involvement with

money-grubbing schemes and the abuse of patients. And let me

re-emphasize this point: this is a medical specialty that is second to

none in ripping off and abusing patients. The situation has long been

out-of-control. It is no longer a matter of a few bad apples screwing

everyone left and right. It's become a full-scale assault on humanity.

" ... Dr. Mohammed A. Al-Bayati's conclusions were that my

diagnosed illness, Pulmonary Fibrosis had been produced by my exposure

to JP-4 and JP-8 aviation fuels plus other toxic chemicals in the

workplace. Kerosene, one of the key ingredients of jet fuel also

created lesions in my airways, lungs, and other tissues, as well as

instituting memory loss. Dr. Al-Bayati, discovered that the steroid

treatments, Prednisone and Azathioprine had completely destroyed my

immune system and were the culprits that were not allowing my bodily

systems to repair themselves. In essence my HMO gave me the appearance

of medication induced " Aids. " Larry J. Boyd, Suisun City, California

diagnostic work and consulting, Dr. Al-Bayati has extensive expertise

in evaluating data from observational and experimental studies in

humans and animals and applying this knowledge effectively to

real-life situations. Dr. Al-Bayati firmly believes that a correct

appraisal of information from animal and human exposure events is

essential to arrive at a proper understanding of the nature and

extent of the injury and in the search for the correct treatment.

Worries About Safety Of Its Anthrax Vaccine Put the Army in a Bind

 

Alternatives to AntibioticsSoldiers Ordered Inoculated Against

Biological Threat Claim Harsh Side Effects. " ...But soon after his

first inoculation in February, the 29-years-old Mr. Nietupski showed

up at an urgent -care facility with sores all over his mouth and

throat. " The side of my tongue was all raw with little canker sores,

and bloody mucus was coming out of my nose, " Mr. Nietupski says. His

maladies, ultimately diagnosed as an autoimmune disorder in which his

body accidentaly attacked itself, grew worse as he got the next two

installements of the six-shot regime. Mr. Nietupski and several of the

doctors who have examined him, believe the anthrax vaccine caused his

severe reaction and may also be to blame for the blood clots Mr.

Nietupski experienced in his legs months later. " more on anthrax vaccines

Vaccines: Are They Really Safe And Effective?What Every Parent

Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated - pictures from the

CDC about the side effects of vaccinesWhat Every Parent Should Know

BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why are a growing number of

parents and health care professionals around the world questioning

vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and

permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as

the many published medical studies, government statistics,

congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly

contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and

effectiveness.

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured

articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases

in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an

increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The

Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders

in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a

magazine read by both health care professionals and the general

public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic

diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues. Learn more about vaccine

and diabetes connection --- asthma and vaccine connection --- SIDS and

(the smallpox vaccine). Forty years ago, children received 5 vaccines

routinely (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and smallpox

vaccines) and as many as 8 shots by 2 years of age. Children now

receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15 shots, by the time they are 6

months of age if they receive all the recommend shots, including the

Prevnar pediatric pneumonia shot.

 

Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government

agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did

nothing to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton

(R-Indiana) during Congressional Hearing: " You mean to tell me that

since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only test that you

know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis,

and they all died? " For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA

and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal

contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a

toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and

behavioral dysfunctions.)
