Bad Medicine is the first UK produced film exposing the true human cost of animal experimentation. Although many people believe that vivisection is a 'necessary evil', essential to the well-being of themselves and their loved ones, the reverse is actually the case; that basing human medicine on the false methodology of animal experimentation is a major cause of untold human suffering and death.
This is the film that the BBC would show you if it were not bed-fellows with the vivisection industry itself, and this film was made in order to go some way to redressing the torrent of pro-vivisection propaganda which has poured forth from the vivisection syndicate and the industry-beholden media - the BBC in particular - over the past several decades Though to informed people this situation is understandable, a much more worrying fact is that this is the sort of film that should have been made, and widely distributed, many years ago by the wealthy 'anti-vivisection' organisations in the UK, but has instead been left to a small, under-funded group. This speaks volumes.
Bad Medicine exposes: The devastating toll in human lives because of animal 'safety-tested' drugs. The basic scientific reasons why animal research cannot help people How human health is declining despite the billions spent on animal research How the cancer industry is not interested in genuine cancer treatments. The real reasons for the decline of the infectious diseases. That vivisection continues because of the vast amount of money at stake How the media and politicians both benefit from vivisection's continuation How many within the medical profession are opposed to vivisection Why animal testing is used as a scapegoat when drugs kill or injure How vivisection is the cause of an out-of-control 'health-care' expenditure Why vivisection is responsible for the poisoning of our air, food and water That vivisection has never been shown to be relevant to human beings.
Bad Medicine (DVD only) is 45 minutes long, and contains interviews with: Mat Fraser, actor Dr Monheim Fadali Dr Tony Page, author of Vivisection Unveiled Pat Rattigan, BAVA director and naturopath The BAVA is making the film available at a reasonable cost in the hope that this will encourage people to purchase the film.
How you can help: Show the film to others. Purchase a copy of the film in order to learn more about the vivisection issue yourself, if you are already not informed as to the true extent of how animal experimentation causes untold suffering to people and animals alike. Lend or show it to your family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues, or to anyone whom you think will watch it, or purchase copies for them - a discount is available for quantities of 10 copies or more purchased.

Stress that it is very much in their interest to learn all they can about this issue, and that it is not simply an animal issue, but very much one of human health. Put on screenings of the
film anywhere you are able to get a group of people together. Promote the film. Leaflets and posters are available from the BAVA at cost price. Please purchase for distribution and display wherever you are legally allowed to. Samples can also be downloaded from our web site - see below. If you have a website please put a link on it to this page; you can use the banners below if you would like. Please help us promote the film by making a donation. We want to get the information contained in Bad Medicine to as many people as possible, and there is unfortunately no getting away from the fact that this will require money for leaflet and poster printing, and distribution, magazine and newspaper advertising, film screenings, and in any other way we feel we may be able to promote the film and get its message to many more people.

  • @LynZee88 The American Dietetic Association has stated that a Vegan diet is healthy for all phases of life and is likely to improve health. A quick google search will bear this out, least you think I would post a sham link.

  • this is why they should be testing new drugs not on animals but on human death row inmates.

    murderers and rapists of the worst kind could earn themselves an extention of life for themselves by allowing themselves to serve humankind by becoming accurate testing models.

  • @leannebridgewater Lab practices are really common knowledge. The only thing one could say about them is that they are hiding their practices in plain sight. Its no secret. Its just shocking to most because people never thought to look into it until someone said hey look at this. As a biology major in my undergrad studies I saw plenty of lab practices both good and bad. No one was trying to hide it. There's no big cover up. Why cover up something that's accepted in the scientific community?

  • why? because if the laboratories were made of glass houses, and we could see, then the whole world would be voting against it

  • @DocKillRoy but how do you know what 0.001% is true? I thjink your argument is wrong - animals can't stop any drugs from being harmful to humans, because, simply, they are not humans. it is so simple - there are, like you mention, many other better ways - computer modelling, cell tissue - also this video is not that old - and nothing has changed, apart from in the uk, they don't drill straight throught a brain now, but her, who are we to know - it is not like we're allowed to see, and why

  • the difference between "genuine science" & "false science" & how animals can not relate to human diseases is so obviously apparent.

    An animal can never catch Aids or any other another disease from a human as their fundamental structure & make up is completely different to ours & their bodies don't see Aids as a disease whereas ours does-so how can we test on them for human diseases & expect to find real "cures"?

  • DO THIS SH*T ON INMATES SITTING IN JAIL FOR HORRID CRIMES!!!! BULLSH*T DOESNT EVEN GIVE CORRECT OUTCOME FOR HUMAN USE A**HOLES

  • if animal testing can stop 0.001 % of drugs harmfull to humans it's worth it, also most vid's shown of animal testing are over 10 years old. All that sayed there are alternativs to animal testing that many testcenters still dont use, witch is a shame.

  • Seus humanos de merda, voces nao se envergonham de fazerem parte da escoria do planeta por causarem dor e sofrimento aos pobres, inocentes e indefesos animais????? Estudem uns aos outros, abram cada um o rabo do outro para verem, por exemplo, o mecanismo que o reto utiliza na hora de fazer coco. Tomem vergonha na cara e procurem se redimir enquanto ainda podem. Limpem o nome, a honra(se é que sabem o que é isso) e a propria cara perante a humanidade. PAREM DE TORTURAR OS ANIMAISH

  • @ListerStorm666 do you have any evidence to support your claim that this vid. is propoganda? "The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse. We have cured mice of cancer for decades, and it simply didn’t work in humans. Dr Richard Klausner, Director, National Cancer Institute, LA Times, May 6. 1998
