Re: The drug story: A factological history of America's $10B drug cartel
Hi
I have read your article today. Fortunately, more and more of that kind of articles can be found on the web.
Which reminded me of the fact that the province of Ontario heath coverage used to cover a minimal amount of chiroprictor fees for a limited number of visits, like $9 per visit (out of $30-$40 per visit) for maybe a maximum of 10 visits. The real figures are unimportant. Some years ago, the new elected Ontario government decided to remove that coverage despite some studies showing that an increae in coverage to chiroprators for back problems would reduce costs by Million dollars. Anyway ...
Corruption is the
REAL medical epidemic!
Corruption has become so endemic and intellectual integrity so compromised in pharmaceutical research that drug companies and their collaborators in government (and universities) can now get away with open fraud.
The Journal of the American Medical Association researched the connection between authors of clinical guidelines and the pharmaceutical industry. Over HALF received financial support from the pharmaceutical industry to conduct research. And 38% served as employees or consultants for a pharmaceutical company. Hmm... so how do you suppose they rated the drug?
This represents a MASSIVE CON, a criminal fraud perpetrated on you and me, and the American public, engineered behind closed doors by the fake food industry and the pharmaceutical conglomerates. Both have so much money to spread around Washington that they practically OWN Congress, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health. To heck with the public health and welfare - their goal is to get everyone hooked on prescription drugs and manufactured, plastic food.
The saddest fact of all is that the medical profession is falling for it, allowing itself to be manipulated into acting as an accessory to this crime. It's terrible!
