The Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel and the FDA
By Jack Kettler
According to the Los Angeles Times, the California
Association of Physicians and Surgeons, and even the Center for Diseases
Control’s own admission, well over 100,000 people in this country
die each year from “properly” administered prescription
drugs. This is absolutely shocking!
One study has shown that more than two million American
hospitalized patients suffered a serious adverse drug reaction (ADR)
within a 12-month period and of these, over 100,000 died as a result.
Likewise, roughly 36,000,000 adverse drug reactions
are reported annually, resulting in more than 33.6-million admissions
or hospitalizations all from drugs that the FDA has pronounced “safe
effective.” Sources for these statistics can be found at: http://www.cancure.org/medical_errors.htm
The media is not doing a very good job of reporting
this ADR crisis. Instead, we hear the constant media drumbeat about
the dangers of firearms, which are currently politically incorrect
yet represent a miniscule fraction of the deaths in this country.
Doctors who want to politicize gun deaths should clean
up their own glass houses first. The real crisis is the failing health
care or more accurately described as the sick care system. There are
numerous reasons for this crisis.
One reason is that conflicts of interest represent
a very real problem for public servants and those entities which have
relationships with various government agencies.
Numerous researchers have reported that the FDA receives
money from the very entities it is suppose to be regulating and one
consequence of this is the suppression rather than advancement of
disease cures. Consider the following:
According to a USA Today study, more than half of
the experts hired to advise the government on the safety and effectiveness
of medicine have financial relationships with the pharmaceutical companies
that will be helped or hurt by their decisions.
These experts are hired to advise the Food and Drug
Administration on which medicines should be approved for sale, what
the warning labels should say and how studies of drugs should be designed.
The experts are supposed to be independent, but USA
TODAY found that 54% of the time, they have a direct financial interest
in the drug or topic they are asked to evaluate. These conflicts include
helping a pharmaceutical company develop a medicine, then serving
on an FDA advisory committee that judges the drug.
The conflicts typically include stock ownership, consulting
fees or research grants.
Federal law generally prohibits the FDA from using
experts with financial conflicts of interest, but according to the
article, the FDA has waived the restriction more than 800 times since
1998.” (1)
The corruption of undisclosed financial ties to the
pharmaceutical companies by supposedly unbiased researchers along
with the staggering cost involved in bringing new drugs to market,
which conveniently eliminates competition from all but the cartel
heavyweights has been sparingly reported in the mainstream press.
Consider one exception to this silence:
In the book a “World Without Cancer” by
G. Edward Griffin. Griffin describes the politics of cancer therapy,
in which he blows the lid off the all powerful international chemical
and drug cartel that has dominated the direction of health care since
early in the Twentieth Century in the United States.
Griffin argues that not only has the Rockefeller-Farben
cartel (2) been instrumental in fostering chemical based drug treatment
as the basis for health care and they have been the dominant adversary
against safer non-drug treatments. If Griffin is correct, who is the
FDA protecting and serving? Clearly, not the consumer!
It should be noted that pharmaceutical drugs have
absolutely no nutritional value, and at best offer temporary relief
of symptoms while doing nothing to address the root causes of disease.
Additionally, pharmaceutical drugs should be used very carefully because
of the toxicity factor also known as the LD50 rating.
LD stands for "Lethal Dose" and LD50 is
the amount of a drug, given, which causes the death of 50% of a group
of laboratory test animals. Also, it is well known that drugs can
damage the liver and kidneys.
Do not forget, as sited above, adverse drug reactions
are responsible for over 100,000 deaths each year plus the pain and
suffering for those lucky enough to survive an ADR. The way to good
health does not necessarily include the ingestion of toxic chemicals.
Likewise, the reason for disease is not that we are deficient or lacking
in deadly debilitating pharmaceutical drugs. In many cases, disease
is the result of nutritional deficiencies and the resulting weakening
of the immune system.
The recent ongoing attempt to abolish and subvert
the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994, which
brought a measure of freedom back to consumers, in regards to their
personal choices in the area of nutritional supplementation, should
raise the ire of everyone who is concerned about their own health.
This is an example of the pharmaceutical cartel and
their political cronies within and along side of the FDA at work.
Never forget, America is about freedom, especially freedom to make
informed decisions concerning our own health care information, services
we choose, our choice of treatments and products that we believe to
be beneficial for our own health and wellbeing.

36,000,000 adverse drug reactions and 100,000 deaths
annually is a crisis!
