Medicine: the multi billion dollar drug scam called the pharma industry

Times have changed, 10 years ago a person was arrested for smoking marijuana, 40 years ago the person would have been ostracized and called a “hippie” or “ rebel” or worse. Now the same Government that jailed thousands for use of “narcotic” substances has legalized marijuana and even licenses the sale of Marijuana chocolates and biscuits.

To quote a former vice-president of Pfizer: “It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry…”

In his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare 1st Edition, Peter Gotzsche , has shown the unholy nexus between Governments and Drug companies in lying to the population and forcing entire populations to subject themselves to potentially dangerous vaccines supported and underwritten by the Government.

The licenced Drug Dealers

What else have Western Governments been lying about? One thing is for sure, the biggest lie, even bigger than Sadam’s “chemical Weapons” is the LICENSED DRUG DEALERS – The PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. The Pharmaceutical companies have killed more people than all the narcotics in the world.

A case in point is Vioxx, the US FDA said it was safe, approved it for sale and then after hundreds of millions of dollars spent on “clinical studies” and millions more on marketing, it grew to a 2.5 billion dollar disaster!! SAFE? Really? Medical professionals claim that the drug’s manufacturer not only worked to conceal the risks associated with Vioxx but also schemed with federal drug regulators to keep them under wraps for as long as possible.

But do these licensed drug dealers tell you that the world’s biggest drug ASPRIN came from a herb? Or that several anti-cancer molecules such as vincristine/vinblastine, etoposide, camptothecin all are natural compounds synthesized by drug companies in order to patent the drugs and charge criminal prices. Do they tell you that quinine for Malaria is a natural drug or that reserpine for hypertension a natural molecule? They lie and scheme with Governments to tell the world that ONLY synthetic drugs are effective when that cannot be farther from the truth.

Nature, the master chemist

The fact is that more than half of the world’s population still relies entirely on plants for medicines, and plants supply the active ingredients of most traditional medical products. Plants have also served as the starting point for countless drugs on the market today.

Researchers generally agree that natural products from plants and other organisms have been the most consistently successful source for ideas for new drugs, since nature is a master chemist. Drug discovery scientists often refer to these ideas as “leads,” and chemicals that have desirable properties in lab tests are called lead compounds. Relatively speaking, very few species of living things on Earth have actually been seen and named by scientists. Many of these unidentified organisms aren’t necessarily lurking in uninhabited places.

A few years ago, for instance, scientists identified a brand-new species of millipede in a rotting leaf pile in New York City’s Central Park, an area visited by thousands of people every day.

Scientists estimate that Earth is home to at least 250,000 different species of plants, and that up to 30 million species of insects crawl or fly somewhere around the globe. Equal numbers of species of fungi, algae, and bacteria probably also exist.

Despite these vast numbers, chemists have tested only a few of these organisms to see whether they harbor some sort of medically useful substance. The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines for some part of their primary health care.

In Germany, about 600 – 700 plant based medicines are available (and manufactured only by pharmaceutical companies) and are prescribed by some 70% of German physicians. Here’s a great example of how ridiculous the situation really is in the West. There is a long history of use and acknowledgement by people on almost every continent that prunes are a great natural remedy to treat and cure mild to moderate constipation (a health condition). But if a company selling dried prunes, prune juice, or capsules containing dried prune juice actually makes that entirely truthful statement in their marketing materials, on their food labels, on their website, or refers in any way to this long established traditional use of treating or curing a medical condition, that food product is instantly transformed into a drug in the eyes of the FDA. Now that company is selling an unlicensed drug and subject to criminal and civil prosecution. The product in the eyes of the FDA is “unsafe” since there are no double-blind placebo clinical trials proving the safety and efficacy of prunes being used to treat or cure constipation.

Prunes therefore become a drug and require “clinical data” , “safety data” that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, just to prove what everyone already knows for 3000 years!

And they call themselves the greatest country on earth? Well fortunately, we live in India where the Government recognizes and licenses the use of herbal medicine and there are far lower instances of Mad cow disease etc.

The pharmaceutical industry has knowingly destroyed the inherent immunity of the western world and offers nothing more than palliative medicine. The world is getting sicker not just of disease but of these Licensed Drug Dealers. If a Mexican produces a drug he is a criminal but when the Government produces it, its fine!! Do Mexicans or Columbians produce nerve gas? Or do they kill millions with Agent Orange? This is not a case to defend criminal drug dealers but to show that Western Governments lie and use even more dangerous substances on their people than any drug cartel does.

So now let’s face the truth: the ONLY real cure lies in nature. In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised better living through chemistry. Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries. In the face of this national health crisis, Fitzgerald also presents informed and practical suggestions for what we can do to turn the tide and live healthier lives.

In his book The 100 Year Lie, Fitzgerald has outlined the connivance of an entire industry with the regulators to cheat, lie and produce potentially toxic vitamins. Fitzgerald has shown that nature actually provides ALL the required phytochemicals a human needs for vitality, health & beauty.

There is no greater cause worthy of our efforts than to change this incredibly massive scam perpetrated on us by drug dealers… with a license!
