Pharmaceutical Cartel
This is an article on the Pharmaceutical Cartel that I found extremely interesting.
"Perhaps the biggest lie that Americans have bought into is the possibility that there is a pill for every ill, charge critics of the legal drug manufacturing industry. Others say the problem is not just an American one, it is global." The lie has been encouraged, in my opinion, by doctors who use the prescription pad as a means of terminating an office call. You likely are familiar with the routine, “Try this and come back in two weeks”.
I have always believed that the measure of a civilization can be determined simply by noting how that civilization looks after its most unfortunate members. Too often this civilization turns sick people away from medical care because of their inability to pay. The exorbitant cost of that medical care originates with the pharmaceuticals and their influence upon the entire system.“… The right to health and life for billions of people is being threatened by the financial interests of the largest investment industry on earth—the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry," Dr. Mathias Rath MD, a German physician and activist writes."
Billions of dollars add up to plenty of clout, especially in the political arena, “…Tight control of government by the drug cartel is its ability to have legislation drafted and passed that gives a government mandate for pharmaceutical products, he continued.”
The article continues, "It is unbelievable what medications are doing to people," said Patricia Dallas, a funeral director and mortician at Brooklyn, New York’s Woodward Funeral Home. "We recently had the body of a young man who died from diabetes, but his body was grossly damaged from the medication he had been taking," she told The Final Call.
She said that such cases were not an aberration. "I believe that many people may very well be sick, but it is the medications that are killing them," Ms. Dallas stressed.
Obviously there is little that needs to be added to those quotes, other than this advice. When your health is the issue, keep your head up and be well informed. Come to think of it, that's good advice for any issue.
