The hoax of modern medicine: 7 facts you need to know Abuse Addiction Antidepressants Cancer Depression Drug Drugs Industry Medicine Pharmaceutical Pills Presscription This accessible study about the collusion between medical science and the drug industry emphasizes how drug companies market their products by either redefining problems as diseases (like female sexual dysfunction) or redefining a condition to encompass a greater percentage of the population. Moynihan, a health journalist for the New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet, and Cassels, a Canadian science writer, note, for instance, that eight of the nine specialists who wrote the 2004 federal guideline on high cholesterol, which substantially increased the number of people in that category, have multiple financial ties to drug manufacturers. Physicians now routinely prescribe cholesterol-lowering pills (statins) that may have perilous side effects, when many people could lower their risk of heart attack with less costly and dangerous steps, such as exercise and improved diet. Through aggressive merchandising, funding of medical conferences and expensive perks, drug companies win doctors over to diagnosing these "diseases" and prescribing drugs for them. Science and medicine writers Moynihan and Cassels conjecture that most Americans believe, based on information gleaned from a deluge of pharmaceutical-company advertisements, that conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, menopause, and chronic constipation are bona fide diseases. They quote reputable medical experts, however, who refute such understandings. What's more, they suggest that billions of precious and diminishing health-care dollars are squandered treating those nondiseases of healthy, wealthy Americans and would be better spent treating the legitimately sick poor and fighting the international AIDS epidemic. Quoting former Merck CEO Henry Gadsen--who, in a 1976 Fortune article, confessed that "it had long been his dream to make drugs for healthy people. Because then, Merck would be able to 'sell to everyone'"--they lay the blame for the misdirected billions at the feet of just such pharmaceutical giants as Merck. Finally, they counterpoint glossy pharmaceutical ad campaigns with alternatives that consumers may consider before asking their doctors for prescription drugs they saw touted on TV.

  • Look up Codex Alimentarius. why is NATURE considered the alternative when most drugs are new? one plant can help over 200 illnesses, needs NO pesticide, has thousands of uses, heals the soil, and NO (none, zero) bad side effects. Yet it is illegal. Why? MONEY pure and simple. The same reason for EVERYTHING

  • Fact 1: True

    Fact 2: Partially true

    Fact 3: True for most drugs.

    Fact 4: True.

    Fact 5: Bullshit, and screening of breastcancer save more lives than number of cancer the x-ray machines make.

    Fact 6: Bullshit, but theres no money in nutrition.

    Fact 7: Complete load of crapp.

  • What rubbish! Where are the facts to back up these claims? Should you just believe it all because you say so? No thanks! I'll stick with science instead of superstition.

  • Neat how your blogger page is all cool like that... LOL

  • Well in part the issue is keeping people more or less drugged. But, better than that is keeping them uneducated. And, poor, and wait.. Not even able to access medical care. Now that instills total control.

    Medical Profesional like to call it:

    Forced Isolation.

    It's where you can't even leave your own home. Or want to. Now that's control.

    Good video I think :)
