"Compared to the reality of
the drug industry, my book reads like a vacation post
card"
John Le Carre
The Constant Gardener
There is an entire industry with an
innate economic interest to obstruct, suppress and discredit any
information about the eradication of diseases.
The pharmaceutical industry makes over
one trillion dollars from selling drugs for ongoing diseases.
These drugs may relieve symptoms,
but they do not cure. We have to realize that the
mission of this industry is to make money from ongoing diseases. The
cure or eradication of a disease leads to the collapse of a
multi-billion dollar market of pharmaceuticals.
I encourage you to read the key points about the nature of the
pharmaceutical business and to think about each of them.
Now you will understand why we are
bombarded with advertising campaigns by pharmaceutical companies
wanting to make us believe that they are,
...and other false promises.
With these deceptive statements, the
pharmaceutical industry has for decades been able to disguise the
true nature of its business - maximum profit from ongoing diseases.
The
Pharmaceutical "Business with Disease" Causes More Deaths Than All
Wars of Mankind Combined
As a direct consequence of the pharmaceutical business, more people
have died from preventable disease than in all wars of mankind
combined.
The following summarizes the steps
leading to this tragedy.
The fact that vitamin C stabilizes the walls of arteries, for
example, has been known for 200 years, ever since James Lind
uncovered vitamin C deficiency as the cause of blood loss and
scurvy.
Any head of a pharmaceutical company,
any Ph.D. or M.D. who denies knowing this fact is simply
incredulous.
-
Why, then, was this information
not applied to medicine in order to combat cardiovascular
disease?
-
Why was the official RDA for
vitamin C set at 60 mg, an amount barely sufficient to
prevent scurvy but certainly low enough to make sure that
cardiovascular diseases will become an epidemic?
Throughout this century, the
pharmaceutical companies knew that an optimum vitamin supply of the
population would lead to the collapse of a multi-billion dollar
market of prescription drugs.
Moreover, vitamins are not patentable
and the profit margins are low.
On the basis of this analysis the
survival of the pharmaceutical industry became dependent on two
strategies:
-
To obstruct research,
information, and use of vitamins and other natural therapies
by all means available
-
To promote the deception that
patentable synthetic drugs are the answer to human diseases
The Pharmaceutical
Industry Is As Indispensable for a Country as Cancer Is for the Body
How is it that millions of people are still willing to pay billions
of dollars to the pharma-cartel for medicine that does not cure and
frequently harms?
The answer to this question is that over the past century the pharma-cartel
and their army of lobbyists have built an intricate maze of control,
infiltration, economic incentives, bribes, manipulation, and
deception.
Millions of people and patients were systematically deceived by this
maze of,
-
Manipulation of research so that
synthetic drugs rather than natural therapies appear as
“medicine”
-
Prescription of this “medicine”
by doctors who have had no education in nutritional medicine
and who receive financial benefits for prescribing
pharmaceuticals but not natural therapies
-
Deception by multi-million
dollar advertising campaigns for pharmaceutical drugs that
deliberately deceive the public about the effects and risks
of drugs and about the unethical nature of the
pharma-business
-
Regulation brought about by
regulatory agencies and legislation under the pressure of a
pharma-lobby, disallowing established health claims for
vitamins and other natural remedies
In the future no nation can afford to
burden its economy with a pharmaceutical industry that grows like a
cancer at the expense of the people, of corporations and of the
public sector, all of which suffocate from exploding health care
costs for a medicine that does not cure.
21st Century -
Liberation from Human Health
500 years ago,
the Roman church was making
billions of
Thaler (early dollars) by
selling indulgences, an imaginary “key to heaven” for its
believers. Then the fraud scheme collapsed and with it much of the
power of the church.
Today, the pharma business uses the
same fraud scheme.
It tries to sell the “key to health” to
millions of people and takes away billions of dollars in return for
an illusion:
the deception that the
pharmaceutical industry is interested in your health.
Considering this unhealthy state of
affairs, the urgency for a new health care is obvious.
The liberation from this insane yoke of
the pharmaceutical industry will immediately and directly benefit
millions of people, the business community and the public sector of
all nations. This new health care system is based on an improved
knowledge and participation by millions of people.
Basic health has become understandable,
doable and affordable for everyone. The era in human history when
health was delegated to an industry that shamelessly took advantage
of it is over and gone.
The new health care system focuses on primary health care,
prevention and eradication of diseases. Health consultants and
health centers will replace many medical high-tech centers of today.
Every health food store is the beginning for a community health
center.
The new health care system is being built by dedicated lay people
together with a growing number of doctors and health professionals.
The majority of health professionals are
realizing that they themselves had been compromised by
pharmaceutical companies and had become victims of a drug-centered
health care.
