--> In reality, drug companies are in the business of disease mongering in order to expand the definitions of disease as a clever marketing strategy. The more people who can be diagnosed with something, the more drugs they can sell on TV.
Clinical drug trial researchers: These so-called scientists pretend to run honest, objective clinical trials, yet in reality they know that if they don't produce the results that please their sponsors (usually drug companies), they'll be blacklisted from the industry. So they pretend to conduct real science and thus protect their own careers. |  It is this approach of disease mongering + screening + disease management that maximizes profits for drug companies. The bigger the profits, the more lucrative the executive salaries. By marketing a fear of a fake disease (much like promoting a desire for cigarettes) you create an addicted and steady customer base.
The greatest threats to Big Pharma
The greatest threats to the profits of Big Pharma are: Preventing disease: teaching people how to avoid cancer, diabetes, etc. Curing disease: reversing or eliminating disease. | | There is no nation in history that has ever financially survived such outlandish spending on disease, and the extreme inefficiencies, frauds, and disease mongering of conventional medicine today genuinely threaten the financial future of our entire nation.
These are just a few of the true costs of our present system of medicine. |  Are you a teacher or parent who has witnessed drug company-sponsored "education" events or meetings in a public school, where a drug company representative or psychiatrist engaged in disease mongering and drug promotions by pushing fictitious diseases (ADHD, etc.) and mentioning prescription drugs as a treatment? Tell us what you saw! Click here to contact us or call us at (520) 232-9300.
We're looking for a health insurance professional who can answer some questions such as: Does a child with ADHD qualify as a "preexisting condition" that will raise family health insurance rates? | | Push the drugs and disease mongering.
2. Discredit (or outlaw) the natural health solutions.
3. Repeat.
Antipsychotic drugs may cause diabetes, but the FDA still allows their sale
Some prescription drugs are so dangerous that even health-related industry groups feel compelled to speak out against the drugs in order to protect the health of patients. |  As the deaths continue to mount, and drug companies become even more aggressive with outlandish disease mongering and advertising efforts, the FDA rears up to unleash a new wave of corporate terrorism upon the American people by emboldening drug companies to care even less about the safety of their synthetic chemical products, most of which cause harm by their very nature of being foreign to the human body.
As Menzies explains:
Pharmaceutical industry lobbying efforts and zealot tort reformers have sired a new wave of brazen attempts to shield drug manufacturers from tort liability. | | It's simple, Big Pharma's justifications for the machine behind disease mongering are all false. Direct to consumer advertising just confuses patients into asking for drugs they don't need. The doctors, conned by false claims in medical journals blindly prescribe the unneeded medication. The medical journals themselves rely too much on pharmaceutical advertising dollars to question the ethics of allowing unproven, unscientific advertising claims to appear in scientific journals. The result? Stock prices keep climbing, profits keep growing and CEOs get wealthier. | | But the real push of drug companies, now and into the future— the agenda that healthy people should take multiple prescription drugs every day for life in order to treat diseases that don't even exist—is nothing less than a disease mongering scam played out across the stage of modern medicine. Meanwhile pharmaceutical stock prices continue to climb, and CEO compensation is more ludicrous every year. |  Washington State just happens to choose the most lucrative and politically influential system of medicine to push onto patients at gunpoint: Western medicine, a system of medicine based almost entirely on profiteering, monopoly control, corruption, bribery, disease mongering, false claims and truly bad science.
King County calls this mother a criminal, but who are the real criminals in this case? If I broke into your house and stole your baby because I had decided that the "Mike system" of medicine was the best system for your child, I would be arrested for serious crimes like kidnapping. |  I think it would fabricate fictitious diseases ("disease mongering") and market those to the American public to try to get people to take more drugs that they don't need. In fact, I think it would collude or conspire with federal regulators to make sure there is a drug-friendly environment in this country that discredits alternatives.
You can call it a conspiracy if you want, but I just call it straight old-fashioned corporate greed. It's all about money, and there's a lot of money changing hands in the drug racket now operating in this country. |  As a consumer health advocate, I speak out on anything that I see as ripping people off, whether it's drug companies, disease mongering psychiatrists, or counterfeit diet pills. In this case, the hoodia craze has attracted the most unscrupulous operators who continue to sell counterfeit hoodia diet pills simply because they know they can get away with it. But there are a few honest players in the market who offer genuine hoodia gordonii, and I list them below.
Let me be clear about my position on hoodia: My complaint is not with the hoodia plant itself. | | Big Pharma's dark tactics
In stark contrast to its best efforts to project a noble public image, the drug industry remains mired in corruption, scientific fraud, price-fixing scams, disease mongering propaganda, human experimentation and other unscrupulous tactics designed to boost profits no matter what the real cost to society. Most of Big Pharma's crimes go either unnoticed or un-prosecuted for a number of reasons. | | Free to charge monopoly prices thanks to the FDA-enforced domestic drug racket that outlaws international competition, and unburdened by the financial risk of lawsuits from consumers harmed by their drugs, Big Pharma would be emboldened to unleash a dystopian era of unprecedented disease mongering, bribery of doctors, false advertising and the mass drugging of children, adults and seniors alike... with absolutely nothing to hold them in check.
This result may, in fact, have been the intention all along. | | The rampant disease mongering, the mass drugging of schoolchildren with amphetamines, the false claims of drug ads, the bribery of doctors, the collusion at the FDA... it's all coming to the surface now, and by the time this house of cards comes tumbling down, the resulting criminal trials against drug company executives and FDA officials will make the Enron trials sound like a high school debate. |  Conventional medicine, characterized by toxic pharmaceuticals, radical surgical procedures, rampant bribery, corruption and relentless disease mongering and "sick care" profiteering, is increasingly being enforced by gunpoint in the United States. Parents who wish to protect their children from the dangers of chemotherapy, surgery or dangerous prescription drugs may find themselves accused of kidnapping their own children simply by rescuing them from the hands of surgeons and oncologists who stand to profit from every procedure performed. | | Conventional medicine is about to have an Enron moment, and whistleblowers have a rare opportunity right now to help expose the fraud of drug companies, the FDA and the entire disease mongering system known as conventional medicine.
Whistleblowers are unique individuals. No one is born a hero; they become a hero by making a decision to take a stand against a grave injustice, even when doing so is unpopular. |  As a bonus, we'll never have to hear the phrase, "anal discharge" mentioned again during a television ad.
#6 Stop junk food and soda advertising to children
Here's sort of another obvious one: outlaw the predatory marketing of junk foods, candy and sugary beverages to children, many of whom are already headed for a life of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. But wait: the soda companies say sugary drinks have nothing to do with obesity! And, better yet, the American Diabetes Association claims there's no link between sugar and diabetes! |  Drug companies routinely engage in outrageous "disease mongering" to invent and market new diseases (like Road Rage Disorder) so they can sell more drugs to people who don't need them.
Most non-profit disease groups (cancer, diabetes, heart, etc.) are actually pharmaceutical front groups that work to prevent prevention because treating disease is so much more profitable than teaching people how to avoid disease.
None of the most popular psychotropic drugs currently being prescribed to children (for ADD, depression, etc.) has ever been approved for use in children by the FDA.
... | | Most people are easily fooled into conventional treatments by drug ads, junk science and disease mongering. But for the rest, there's always Gunpoint Medicine.
Coming soon: Pharmaceutical ammo
What's next for conventional medicine? It's not enough to demand the mass medication of the public by dripping toxic fluoride into public water supplies. Why not mass-medicate the entire population with pharmaceutical-tipped ammo?
Prozac-coated bullets would make cops' jobs much easier: After you shoot patients, they actually feel better and are far less likely to sue! |  REPPED: Many people recognize what's really happening in the world of health and medicine today: Increasing disease, unabated disease mongering, corporate exploitation of the people, environmental destruction, a decline in honest health journalism, skyrocketing health care costs, tens of millions of uninsured people and continued assaults on health freedom by the FDA and conventional medicine. These are just a few of the many challenges that concern the lucid, thinking people who now populate Internet blogs, chat rooms and websites. |  Baughman: Yes, and the media has bought into this psychiatric disease mongering, and that's why it is rampant. That's why the drugging of our children is rampant.
Mike: Isn't the next great marketing frontier for these companies adult ADHD now?
Dr. Baughman: Well yes, it's not the future; it's the present. There has been a tremendous year-to-year growth in the billions of prescriptions for Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, and all the other amphetamines. My alma mater, New York University School of Medicine, is at the very forefront of this fraud. |  It does serve, however, as a metaphor for the incessant disease mongering and "screening & treatment" scams being operated today by drug companies, disease non-profit groups and the psychiatric community. So-called disorders ranging from ADHD to "social anxiety disorder" are invented, promoted and sold to the public in order to convince people they need expense pharmaceuticals to lead healthy lives. The effort has nothing to do with health, but everything to do with generating profits for Big Pharma. |  Combine all ingredients in a large baking bowl. Mix together with pseudo-scientific medical jargon and a dash of corporate greed. Toss in a bankrolled panel of FDA decision panel members and wait for the mixture to rise. If they object, give them some dough.
Once the mixture has risen, cook the research results until the desired consistency is achieved. Remove from oven, wipe off the fraudulent research results (which sometimes bubble to the surface), and allow to cool.
Warning: Do not touch the mixture while the marketing department is cooking the research results, or you may get burned. |  It's being called 'disease mongering' and the college explains that pharmaceutical companies are taking the National Health Service to the brink of collapse by hyping both these diseases and the assortment of prescription drugs used to treat their symptoms.
The diseases named by the college as being over-hyped include hypertension, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, anxiety and clinical depression. The college says that these diseases are inappropriately treated with drugs and that many of the physicians prescribing such drugs have financial ties with the pharmaceutical companies. | |
