Ex-Pharma Sales Reps Speaks Out - Pharma Not in Business of Health, Healing, Cures, Wellness.
Gwen Olsen spent fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales rep working for such healthcare giants as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott Laboratories. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced career until several conscious-altering experiences began awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet. Her most poignant lessons, however, came as both victim and survivor of life-threatening adverse drug reactions. After leaving pharmaceutical sales in 2000, Gwen worked in the natural foods industry first as an Account Manager for Nature's Way, and then as a Regional Sales Manager for Gaia Herbs. She is currently a writer, speaker, and natural health consultant.
The United States health care system is killing Americans at an alarming rate, even though we spend over fifteen percent of the Gross National Product (GNP) on health care. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, our health care outcomes ranked only fifteenth among twenty-five industrialized nations worldwide. Adverse effects from prescription drugs have become the third-leading killer of Americans. Only heart disease and cancer claim more lives. We trust our doctors to inform us and our government to protect us from medical malfeasance that may put profits ahead of consumer health and safety. But the fine line walked by the FDA between the interests of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the American public has continually been crossed. The result is the unleashing of an unprecedented number of lethal drugs on the U.S. market!
Gwen Olsen learned firsthand the danger that lurks in every American's medicine cabinet, working in the pharmaceutical industry. But her most poignant education would come as a victim and, ultimately, as a survivor.

redbrest! When you say that you make their work! What kind of play is to be scared after having been tricked. We must stop this loopy way of thinking...When shall become intelligent again?
That's an interesting perspective... the reason there is still no cure for HIV some 25 years later, even though we can reduce replication of the virus to "virtually" nothing is that anti-retrovirals (HAART) which HIV patients MUST continue taking indefinitely cost an average of $1500 a month when generics (without the "r&d investment") are less than $100 a year! If you're Abbot Labs, do you want to cure HIV or do you want to sell lots of Kaletra forever?
absolutely true... it's just Common Sense. IF the Pharma Comp cured the disease then they woudl run out of things to seel. IT's all about the money, and how much we will, if you pardon the expression, how much we will swallow. I took myself off anti-dpresants and started honey & cinnamon. Bless me if I don't feel better.
What was the last pharmaceutical drug that actually *cured a disease* rather than alleviated the symptoms of disease while maintaining its underlying condition ... the problem with Big Pharma is that its more profitable to provide extended regiments of medication for relief from symptoms, than it is to cure as a single dose treatment ...
