Good health translates into zero profit for the pharmaceutical
industry.
General well-being of the public and cures for disease would
mean the collapse of the pharmaceutical industry since they must have
illness to have demand for their drugs, in order to exist. This is the
truth that drives political corruption, mandating of vaccines, control
over the healthcare industry, and efforts to destroy natural health companies.
But to accomplish and sustain your ill health, the pharmaceutical
industry must confuse people about the source of good health, make sure
there is no access to what people actually need to be well (including
information), and keep the public perpetually frightened of diseases and
their risk of dying.
The pharmaceutical industry works especially hard to keep the public
from knowing two things, a central one about people’s biology, and a
central one about their drugs:
1. People are blessed with an immune system which does a phenomenal
job day in and day out in protecting them, and in helping them get well
if they become ill. Their being well does not depend on luck. People get
cancer, for instance, many times over their lifetime but naturally
shrug it off because their immune system is designed to do just that.
2. Most drugs do not “cure” disease or support the functioning of the
body (insulin is an exception) but only mask symptoms. Antibiotics kill
pathogens but they simultaneously wipe out people’s immune system.
Both things concern the immune system and are in serious conflict:
people’s immune system is what keeps them healthy and most of what the
pharmaceutical industry has to offer messes it up. Those two facts are
not selling points for the industry.
So, the less the public knows about how their body works, the less
they trust their own bodies, the less they are able to support it in
functioning optimally, the better for the pharmaceutical industry. That
is, the more afraid and helpless people feel, the better . So, the
industry works to create myths that keep the public anxious.
Look at the five most profitable drugs in the United States. Guess what they all have one in common?
They never cure you.
1) Lipitor (2009 gross revenue: $7.5 billion): Designed to lower cholesterol, Lipitor uses statins to decrease LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increase HDL cholesterol levels. Studies indicate that high cholesterol increases one's chance for heart disease, the leading health problem in the U.S.
2) Nexium (2009 gross revenue: $6.3 billion): This well-marketed drug decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach, but it's not an instant cure for heartburn.
3) Plavix (2009 gross revenue: $5.6 billion): Nobody likes a nasty blood clot, and this drug prevents that from happening, particularly after a stroke or a heart attack. The downside: Plavix increases your chances of small-injury bleeds and, if drinking alcohol, heightens your risk of stomach and intestinal bleeds.
4) Advair Diskus (2009 gross revenue: $4.7 billion): For asthma sufferers, a twice-daily inhaler to reduce the swelling in your respiratory system. Helps keep attacks from being more severe.
5) Seroquel (2009 Gross: $4.2 billion): Rounding out our top 5 is Seroquel, an anti-psychotic drug that treats schizophrenia, severe depression, and bipolar disorder by altering chemical activity in the brain.
Criminalizing Nature for Chemical Profits: S 510
With a bill in Congress (S 510) meant to wipe out natural
supplements, the pharmaceutical industry has been using its influence
with media to put out stories against those supplements. The Boston
Globe slams a law that distinguishes food supplements from drugs and the
AP puts out a series attacking natural health practices. And in the
midst of a suspect swine flu which is more and more thought to be
bioengineered during Bush’s time in office, the pharmaceutical industry
has the FDA warn health stores and websites they may not even have
sections labeled “cold” or “flu” or use those words in recommending
supplements to people. That is, no one is supposed to know that
supplements can help them stay well or get well on their own, or
discover how unnecessary vaccines are in the first place if one’s immune
system is kept strong, because that would interfere with selling
billions in vaccines that many do not want or need.
There are two worlds here. One is natural and provides or supports
the good bacteria which is the primary basis of everyone’s immune system
(or health). The other is industrial, synthetic, often GMO, and
generally (usually greatly) destructive of people’s immune system (and
thus, simply put, unhealthy).
People need only understand bacteria keeps them healthy to no longer
fall for industry’s “food safety” scares about bacteria because they can
see the distinction between good and industrial bacteria and choose
food accordingly. Real “food safety” protects good bacteria. It protect
farmers who produce products full of good bacteria. It stops industry
from inflicting industrial demands and processes – pasteurization,
irradiation, antibiotics, etc. – on farmers’s living food products
because they contain the good bacteria which make food itself valuable
to begin with. Once people recognize they have good bacteria on their
side, they will appreciate how it differs from dangerous industrial
bacteria from contamination. They will also learn over time that
vaccines, drugs, antibiotics, radiation, pasteurization, GMOs, all hurt
the little bugs and realize the importance of protecting them.
Drug companies live by the law of industry: profit or perish. The
laws they lobby for are worth looking at closely since it suddenly
becomes apparent why these corporations cannot ever be on the side of
public health. Health is worth literally nothing. Sickness, side
effects, and diseases, though, are bonanzas.
Friendly bacteria is the true basis of good health, just as a soil
rich in microbes is the true basis of good food.
With a strong immune
system, people can avoid or recover from chronic and infectious diseases
and don’t need to be perpetually afraid. Health is simple – it comes
from healthy living food. In knowing this, people are in a good position
to stop industry legislation (S 510) that falsely implies all food is
dangerous, and that sterilizing living food is “food safety.” We are now
in a good position to insist the FDA stop threatening free speech about
safe natural supplements, and instead demand that they go after the
pharmaceutical industry’s synthetic drugs that routinely kill 100,000
people a year.
