Big Pharma

At first glance, many of the articles listed here may not seem to have anything to do with pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers, but the connections are there. The massive bee die offs are caused by neuropoisons manufactured by one of the biggest pharmaceutical manufacturers. A new neurological disease exists because of agribusiness practices. And it goes on. The side effects of our industrialized world are the destruction of our environment and health.

Pigs in gestational pens, where they don't even have room to turn around. Each poor miserable creature has only three bars supporting her throughout pregnancy. She can't even stand up. Drug Banned in China Used to Fatten Animals in U.S.—A drug that China considers too dangerous for any use is routinely applied to pigs, cattle, and turkeys in their last days of life to bulk them up and increase profits for Agribusiness. It causes misery in the poor creatures - and is in the meat of slaughtered animals, though its use on humans is illegal in the U.S.
Man in gasmask Life Threatening Allergies 8 Times More Common in 13 Years—The Observer reports receiving National Health Service (NHS) statistics documenting an eight-fold increase in severe and fatal adult-onset allergies over just the last 13 years. Reactions are to common and normally harmless substances and foods, including eggs, nuts, fish, dairy products, fruit and vegetables, latex, and insect stings.
Jenny McCarthy and Son Evan Is Crusade Against Wakefield An Attempt to Prevent Publication of Study Proving Vaccination-Autism Link?—Andrew Wakefield, Scientific Censorship, and Fourteen Monkeys: A statement from Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey. "Dr. Andrew Wakefield is being discredited to prevent an historic study from being published that looks at vaccinated versus unvaccinated primates and compares health outcomes..."
Very pregnant woman holding baby bottle full of antibiotic pills Antibiotics Cause Birth Defects: Study Authors Spin It As Reassuring—An Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine study reports an association with antibiotics and severe birth defects, including anencephaly, a defect in which most of the brain is missing. Study authors spin the result as 'reassuring'.
Sea shells full of salt and lying on salt Take a Grain of Salt With That Salt Reduction Advice—It's taken as a matter of fact, something so obvious that everyone knows it. Good health and avoiding heart attacks requires low salt intake - and, of course, nearly everyone eats too much. There's just one problem. It's not true. Studies have not shown that lower salt intake reduces death. Most studies show the opposite.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield Dr. Wakefield Harrassment Continues: UK Charges "Professional Misconduct"—The cost of doing honest research that runs against the medical-pharmaceutical complex is your career. Dr. Andrew Wakefield's harrassment for researching and publishing his findings on a potential connection between autism and the MMR vaccination continues with the UK's General Medical Council (GMC) claiming...
Question mark made of sugar cubes Lowering Glucose Levels With Diabetes Drugs Increases Death Rate—A new study documents that lowering glucose (blood sugar) with drugs results in increased deaths. The more glucose is reduced, the greater the death rate. Modern medicine's typical response to disease, pharmaceuticals, is yet again shown to be a deadly farce.
Crossed arrows & graph symbols with question mark & its shadow superimposed Review Shows Flaws and Misinterpretations in Randomized Medical Trials—A review of published medical trials has concluded that results are often misinterpreted and statistical techniques often obscure the truth of results. That's what Gaia Health has been saying - and documenting - all along. As Mark Twain quoted Disraeli, 'There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.'
Girl peeking through blinds at threatening hypodermic needles Vaccine Adjuvants: The Stealth Health Threat—Chronic disease rates are rising. Asthma has become pandemic in children. New neurological disorders are being described. They all have one thing in common. They're the result of immune system overactivity and dysfunction. Substances that should be seen as normal in the body are perceived as threats and attacked.
Vaccine Inhaler by Aktiv-Dry Norovirus Vaccine Ingredients and Risks—New Method of Vaccine Delivery—The upcoming norovirus vaccine uses genetic modification of tobacco plants to create the antigen. It includes GlaxoSmithKline's adjuvant, MPL Toll-4 Agonist (MPL), and it's delivered by a brand new method - inhaling a dry powder. A full list of ingredients is not yet available - but the known ingredients expose people to risks as severe as AIDS.
Doctor with hypodermic needle with dollar bills inside, focus on hypo & bills The Next Big Vaccination Scam: Norovirus—Just as the truth starts to sneak out to the general public about the swine flu fraud, the powers-that-be are organizing the next great fake pandemic: norovirus, complete with a brand new vaccine. You've likely never heard of it, but you've probably had it several times. It's a mild stomach virus. No big deal - until now.
Woman in medical mask from video Europe to Investigate Fake Swine Flu Pandemic—More than 20 billion dollars was spent by nations to battle the swine flu, which has proven to be only a mild disease. The investigation request filed by Dr. Wolfgang Wodard can be seen here.
Dr. Wolfgang Wodard Swine Flu Fraud—Official Questioning Now Starts—Now that Big Pharma has made its profits and locked nations into long term contracts for vaccines, the truth is starting to come out. Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, the president of the Council of Europe's Health Commission, was interviewed by L'Humanité about the links between Big Pharma, the World Health Organization (WHO), and governments.
More Die From Hospital Infections Than From Strokes or Heart Attacks (severely ill child with focus on her hand being held by an adult) More Die From Sepsis Than From Strokes or Heart Attacks—A report shows that death resulting from sepsis infections is more likely than death by either strokes or heart attacks. About one-third of all severe sepsis cases result from hospital-acquired infections. Hospitals and antibiotics are supposed to save lives. So, why are so many people dying of severe infections?
Ill-appearing woman with 'Out of Order' sign on her forehead Potential Obesity Treatment Will Cause Permanent Exhaustion and Constant Pain—A potential treatment for obesity is being touted as an effortless cure, one that allows people to continue eating and remaining indolent. One detail, though, is largely ignored. The weight loss would come at the expense of exhaustion and pain—and the effect would likely be permanent.
Petrie disk with MRSA culture behind thumbs-up hand painted as Norway flag MRSA Superbug Nearly Nonexistent in Norway—Here's Why—MRSA is a scourge in virtually all modern hospitals in every industrialized country, with the exception of Norway. How are they doing it? In the most simple of ways. In Norway, the problem was faced head-on. The cause - overprescription of antibiotics - was acknowledged. So they stopped overprescribing.
Dr. Margaret Chan, Director General of WHO WHO Chief Fans Swine Flu Fear—But Hasn't Had Vaccination—With typical hubris, Margaret Chan, the Director General of WHO (World Health Organization) is fanning the flames of fear over swine flu—but hasn't bothered to get vaccinated herself. Now that the pandemic-that-wasn't, as minor as it's been, has largely passed, she says that we must 'guard against complacency'.
Drawing of a heart New Medical Procedure: Destroying Nerves to Lower Blood Pressure (Part 2, The Hype)—When a new drug or procedure is developed, the single most important factor is selling it to the public. When profits are the primary focus of healthcare, it can't be any other way. So, when a startup company has tons of money and is closely allied with a medical company that's highly successful, then the hype for its product starts early—before it's even out of testing.
Drawing of a heart New Medical Procedure: Destroying Nerves to Lower Blood Pressure (Part 1, The Trial)—A new surgical procedure claims to be a simple and easy cure for high blood pressure. It's so wonderful that it's being hyped as a replacement for drugs. Already, it's touted as revolutionary. Dr. Paul Sobotka, Chief Medical Officer of Ardian, the company that developed the procedure, stated, '...' (Just don't forget that he's paid to say things like that.)
Julie Gerberding Government Chief of Vaccine Promotion to Head Merck's Vaccine Division—After being America's biggest vaccine promoter as head of the CDC, Julie Gerberding has been hired by Merck & Co. to head its vaccine division. It is a testament to the intimate connections between Big Pharma and the government agencies they have coopted.
GE wins Psycho Corporation Award Psychcorp Award: GE Gags Scientist Who Exposed Danger of Its Product—Corporations that demonstrate their willingness to engage in a scorched earth policy to protect sales of their products are honored with the Psycho Corporation Award. GE used Britain's draconian libel law to silence a scientist who exposed the truth that its product, Omniscan, is killing people.
Doctor holding injection needle with 20 dollar bill inside (Conflicts of Interest Put CDC's Swine Flu and HPV Vaccine Decisions Into Doubt) HHS Study Documents CDC Conflicts of Interest, Puts Swine Flu and HPV Vaccine Decisions Into Doubt—The mass HPV vaccination of girls and the H1N1 vaccination protocol in the US were recommended by a committee that was contaminated by CDC advisors with conflicts of interest. HHS issued a report entitled documenting an inbred culture of deceit within the CDC.
Pile of Cash (Vaccines, Prions, Genetic Modification, Mad Cows, and You) Vaccines, Prions, Genetic Modification, Mad Cows, and You—Apparently, the issue of pig rendering workers developing a neurological disease isn't supposed to worry the rest of us. The Lancet has reported that there's no infectious agent. So, we're supposed to sit back, heave a big sigh of relief, and stop worrying?
Pig agribusiness farm (Modern Pig Agribusiness Causes Human Neurological Disorder) Modern Pig Agribusiness Causes Human Neurological Disorder—Although it's being described in mundane terms, a new Lancet report documents that the new neurological disease of pig slaughterhouse workers is caused by the process of modern agribusiness...The real question is why this situation is being minimized. The answer is found in Agribusiness's protection of profits.
Neurons overshadowed by vaccination needle New Neurological Disorder Known to be Caused by Common Vaccine Adjuvant—A new neurological disease, which is almost certainly caused by aluminum adjuvants in vaccines, is characterized by severe muscle & joint pain, inflammation, and debilitating fatigue. Macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF) similar to fibromyalgia...adjuvant aluminum is the probable cause of MMF and possibly fibromyalgia.
A graph superimposed on itself at a different angle Money Buys Science: How Studies Are Bought and Skewed—The marketing of an image is all-important in the corporate world. Convincing people to shop in your store because it's green because of the carrier bags policy is worth how much? Tesco seems to think the value is £25 million - and a university was quite happy to take the money and provide the study to prove it.
Children with pet dog and cat Autoimmune Vaccine Damage in Cats and Dogs Indicate Grave Danger to Humans—More than enough information exists to document that vaccination adjuvants are devastating our pets' health. Connections between vaccinations and cancer, IBS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, thryoid disease, epilepsy. Yet, adjuvants are routinely used in human vaccinations, and no one in the medical world seems to be moved to even consider the idea that the practice is risky.
Man terrorized by giant virus Ukraine Flu, Fear Mongering at Its Worst—The widely hyped Ukrainian flu outbreak is an election ploy. All the media coverage...connections to 1918...weaponized virus...leaking from a lab is a massive campaign of fear. The only real data are the counts of numbers infected and how many have died. Those numbers tell a tale far removed from the hype.
Graph showing childhood flu mortality related to flu vaccine Proof of Childhood Vaccinations' Lack of Effectiveness and Dangers—In a dramatic and easily accessible document graphically exposes the lack of evidence to support benefit from childhood vaccines & the dangers inherent in them...I have verified much of the data to assure its validity - enough to be confident that it is completely accurate and in no way misleading.
Written on chalkboard: 2+2=5 (only for very large values of 2) CDC Invents New Number System! Increases H1N1 Deaths! (Satire)—In a master stroke, the CDC has created an entirely new system of mathematics based on a new way of counting! With this stroke of insight, they've increased the number of swine flu deaths almost six times over...new branch of math, estimates, based on the new axiom, 2+2=5, but only for very large values of 2.
Polish Health Minister Poland Rejects H1N1 Vaccine—One country isn't taking the koolaid. In a surprising announcement, Poland says it will not buy H1N1, swine flu, vaccine. This video of the Polish Health Minister is her impassioned explanation of why.
Baby, naked, with amazed expression The Truth About the Mumps Outbreaks, Not the Hype (Part 1)—Reports of mumps outbreaks are breaking out all over, along with fear mongering and pushes to get vaccinated...reports are rife with flaws. Unvaccinated are blamed for outbreaks. Severity is grossly distorted. Nothing is as it seems, if you take your guidance from news media.
Baby, naked, with amazed expression The Truth About the Mumps Outbreaks, Not the Hype (Part 2)—The real risks are associated with having mumps vaccinations. If the vaccine actually is preventive, the disease it's preventing is clearly not often serious. Yet, in exchange for this highly questionable protection, the risks from the vaccination are significant.
Crab Chelation Cured Desiree Jennings' Mercury Poisoning—Chelation has cured Desiree Jennings of the dystonia caused by a flu vaccination. As ever, the medical world denies both that she was injured by the vaccine and that she was cured. They use their usual canard: claiming that her illness was psychogenic, that is, they're saying it was all in her head.
Woman shaking with dystonia Here's What the "Harmless" Flu Vaccination Can Do—The odds are this won't happen to you--but once you've seen what can, you'll think twice before considering having a flu vaccination.
Warning: This video is shocking.
Dr. Thomas Insel speaking in front of screen picturing Martin Luther King, Jr. Insel, NIMH Director, Shows Disdain for Austistic Boy—The mistreatment of a woman and her autistic son by the director of the NIMH, the person in charge of determining treatment for autism...how those trying to stop the autism epidemic are routinely treated by public servants in authority: stonewalled, with condescension, and outright lied to.
Aspirin pills casting shadow over pile of money Daily Aspirin Doesn't Prevent Heart Attacks and Does More Harm Than Good—Eventually, Big Med figures out the obvious. A case in point is a recent study in the Drugs and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB) documenting that taking aspirin to prevent heart attacks does more harm than good. Aspirin is a drug. Drugs aren't preventive medicine. Ergo, aspirin is not a preventive medicine.
Doctor's gloved hand with hypodermic over fetus in ultrasound Irresponsible Claim That Flu Vaccines Increase Birth Weight—They never quit with phony studies, especially when it comes to swine flu! The latest hype claimins studies show that babies born to women who've had flu vaccinations are bigger and healthier. Close inspection, though, shows the claim is based on junk science bought and paid for by Big Pharma.
Premature baby in baby carrier Premature Baby Birthrate Goes Up, But Research Focuses on Drugs—Terrible things have been happening to the public's health in the last 20-30 years. Chronic disease rates have been rising dramatically, along with the rate of premature births. All have one thing in common. Our medical system has focused on treating the symptoms, not on finding the causes.
Crossed syringes & shadows over sick man Potential of Virulent New Disease Among Risks of Swine Flu Vaccine (Part 2 of 2)—There's a twist that may make this year's swine flu prove to be the greatest vaccine disaster we've ever known. The version that's being pushed the most, the nasal spray, holds the potential of creating a more virulent influenza than has yet been seen, and to cause brain swelling at a more significant rate than injected vaccines.
Crossed syringes & shadows over sick man US Flu Vaccine Ingredients Are Not What You're Told (Part 1 of 2)—Eight different swine flu vaccines, by six different manufacturers, have received FDA approval. We'll tackle each of them individually, with a focus on the adjuvant squalene and the preservative thimerosol, which contains mercury, on the method of delivery, the ages approved for delivery, and the testing method.
Toe tag on field of pills with words 'Death by Diet Pills' Diet Drugs Disaster—A Triple Threat—Always looking for the next blockbuster, Big Pharma has 3 new drugs in the pipeline to cram down the throats of people desperate to lose weight. They appear poised to do more harm than good. All change brain chemistry in potentially dangerous ways. None of them focus on the underlying reasons for obesity.
Caduceus shadowing UN, US, UK, & Canada flags Medical Reporter’s Casebook: Big Government And Big Medicine—The frequency of (fake) epidemics. Anthrax. SARS. Smallpox-imminent-terror-attack. Monkeypox. Swineflu. When government and science and medicine are One, idiocy is sure to follow. The sheep are lining up for their vaccinations. It’s called brainwashing: the belief in a false and absurd proposition created by repetition and the mask of authority.
Cash flushing down toilet MRI Less Effective at Diagnosing Stroke Than Simple Bedside Exam—Modern medicine seems to treat the latest and greatest in technology as the best possible means for diagnosis and treatment, and often does so to the patients' detriment. A case in point is a study showing that some strokes can be diagnosed most accurately by a simple bedside exam requiring no special tools.
Girl Overshadowed by Pfizer Logo Pfizer Plans to Profit From Autism—Pfizer has found a new market for its drugs: autistic children. In a time when it's become apparent that more than one out of a hundred children develop autism, there are finally enough of them to warrant Big Pharma's attention as a profit center.
Mouse hiding in petrie dish from hypodermic needle Only Tiny Fraction of UK Doctors Plan to Take Flu Vaccine—In the face of frantic hype surrounding swine flu and official pressure, the vast majority of UK doctors and nurses are not planning to take the controversial H1N1 vaccine. Why? If this flu is so scary and the vaccinations so effective and safe, wouldn't those on the frontlines, the ones most likely to come into contact with infected people, be the first to queue up?
Dr. Wakefield Dr. Wakefield Reports on Study Showing Harm to Babies' Survival Reflexes from Hep B Vaccine—Dr. Wakefields discusses a study on the effect of hepatitis B vaccine on infant survival reflexes. A study shows "significant delay" in the acquisition of these reflexes, such as rooting and suckling.
Boy behind distorting glass with threatening hypodermic needle The Cocaine Vaccine—For Control of the Masses?—An ineffective cocaine vaccine has been developed. In Orwellian Newspeak, the abject failure is being billed as a success. The real issue, though, is why. What's really going on? Is it simply more profits for Big Pharma, or could it be plans for controlling the masses?
Cocaine Dollars Equal Vaccine Dollars Cocaine Vaccine—Hope, Hype, or Profits?—Vaccinations for a mild flu, H1N1, and a herpes virus that the body normally clears by itself, Cervarix and Gardasil, apparently aren't enough. The hype has begun for a cocaine vaccine—one that only barely sorta works. But that little detail doesn't seem to bother the researchers.
Fetus in capsule Babies of Women Taking Antidepressants Born With Deformities—The entire class of SSRI antidepressants causes birth defects in the children of women given these drugs during pregnancy...a 44.4% increase in heart defects...estimated that up to 13% of women in America are treated for depression during pregnancy...The modern medical system has lost its way...
Natalie Morton Claim That Girl Did Not Die from Cervarix—Is It Credible?—Today's news reports tell us that Natalie Morton's tragic death shortly after receiving the Cervarix vaccine was not caused by the jab. However, on reading reports of the claim, I find it difficult to believe. Here's why.
Hypodermic injecting or drawing from raw egg yolk UK Approves Untested Flu Vaccine With Dangerous Additives for Use in Children—Pandemrix vaccine contains squalene, has not been tested on children under 18, has limited efficacy, and was tested for bird flu, not swine flu. Yet, it's being pressed on virtually the entire English population, and may be forced on children.
Side Effects—A Perspective You Need to See—Side effects is a term that must have been invented by Big Pharma. The reality is what this video shows—and don't forget that vaccines are drugs, too, with a host of effects.
Man Covering His Privates With a Helmet Another Study Demonstrates That Prostate Cancer Screening Does More Harm Than Good—Another new study, reported in the BMJ, documents that routine prostate screening tests probably do more harm than good...The PSA test was never intended to screen for cancer...As ever, profits have driven medical testing and treatment.
Kirsten
Gardasil Damage—One Life Destroyed—Very touching video about a vivacious girl who has been reduced to constant pain, debility, and awareness that she's dying. This is the risk of taking Gardasil or Cervarix.
Photo of neuron growth end Nerves Degenerating from Mercury on Film—Film of neurons in the process of degeneration from mercury. Keep this in mind before considering having a flu jab—and think about what it might do to a developing fetus or child!
Hangman Game with Zyprexa the Word Doctors Prescribe Zyprexa on Bets With Lilly Sales Reps—How would you like knowing that your doctor prescribed a drug to you because he lost a bet with a pharmaceutical representative? That's exactly what happened with Zyprexa, one of the most toxic drugs around.
Abraham Lincoln Statue Gary Null—How Did We Get So Sick?—As the issue of paying for health care consumes Americans, Gary Null discusses an issue that's at the center of the enormous costs - the betrayal of the FDA, its control by Big Pharma, and the costs borne by Americans in paying for the iatrogenic illness caused by drugs.
Universal No Symbol Over Hypodermic Needle UK Protest Against Forced Vaccinations—In response to England's plans of mandatory vaccinations, the Vaccine Awareness Network (VAN) has organised a protest in outside the Houses of Parliament, Parliament Square Garden, London, 12.00-2.00 on 3 October 2009. This issue affects anyone who values personal freedom.
Shadow of Parent and Child Hands Reaching for Each Other England Is Planning on Forced Vaccinations—England appears to be quietly planning to force vaccinations on all people, including children. JCVI and its Big Pharma money-soaked members have virtually the weight of law on their side in forcing everyone, including children, to be vaccinated.
Concerned Man With Pills in Hand Daily Aspirin Does More Harm Than Good—In yet another example of modern medicine's misbegotten belief in giving pharmaceuticals to healthy people, a new study shows that taking aspirin is not only useless in preventing cardiovascular disease, it also increases bleeding disorders. In other words, it does more harm than good.
Fluoride? over Salt Shaker, Water Glass, and Toothpaste A Pinch of Fluoride in Salt?—Are you adding fluoride to your toxic intake when you use salt? In several major European countries, India, and Japan, salt fluoridation is routine. Of course, the usual excuse is that it's good for teeth, but that claim is highly questionable. While topical treatment may be beneficial, ingestion offers no benefit, and fluoride is highly toxic.
Crazed Doctor Handing Out Pill Are 1 in 10 Americans Depressed—Or Are Doctors Nuts?—Nearly 10 percent of American adults are taking antidepressants. About 27 million people. Are Americans really that sad, or is it a matter of crazy doctors—or is it simply money? Only rarely do doctors warn their patients of the dangers inherent in these drugs—not even the fact that the risk of suicide is increased.
Pig butts with hypodermic needle & shadow needle superimposed New Flu Vaccine Linked to Paralysis—In a letter leaked from the UK's Health Protection Agency (HPA), the new swine flu vaccine is linked to paralysis, Guillain Barré syndrome. It's the same condition that was caused by the 1976 flu vaccine prepared for an epidemic that never happened, yet the vaccine left about 500 people with their lives forever constrained by paralysis and 25 dead.
Tattoo of tree with gene helix as trunk Genes Are Not Fate—The traditional understanding of genes is that they're the primary inheritable information—the basic units of what defines us. If you're convinced that's all we are—bits of protoplasm born into the world with presdestined traits that determine our physical and mental makeup, carrying us to a predetermined end—then stop reading here, as there's no point in continuing.
Child Being Given Live Polio Vaccine Mutated Polio From Vaccine Is Spreading in Africa—A mutation from a live polio vaccine is stalking Nigeria. In a strange twist of logic, experts are claiming that it mutated as it passed through non-immunized children...Why the virus would choose to mutate in non-vaccinated, rather than vaccinated, children is unexplained...why the weakened virus would pass through the vaccinated children.
Hands of hospitalized elderly woman with blood oxygen monitor The Medical Paradigm Is Fatally Flawed—We live in a society based on a fatally flawed paradigm, a fact that is becoming apparent as we face a collapsing economic system in a collapsing environment. Even so, many who recognize the flaws of these systems still hold tightly to the concept of a medical system that exists for their benefit. It is, though, part of the same flawed paradigm.
Skull & crossbones of pills superimposed over hospital emergency sign Pharmaceuticals Cause One in Nine ER Visits—A Vancouver, Canada study has documented that 12% of emergency room (ER) visits were the direct result of problems with a pharmaceutical drug. Their use usually exacts a steep price—occasionally, a trip to ER, or even death directly induced by the drug.
Man having heart attack Cholesterol Doesn't Cause Heart Disease (Part 2)—How statins reduce cholesterol, though cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease. Statins do something else, though. What is it, and how can you get the same effect without taking a drug?...Instead of the headlong push into taking statins, treating them as if they were no riskier than taking a placebo, it's time to put a halt to the insanity.
Man having heart attack Cholesterol Doesn't Cause Heart Disease—The people with the highest cholesterol live the longest. It's a point that's generally ignored in modern medicine, but it is a fact. A huge industry in statins constantly promulgates the opposite notion, and has done such a good job that doctors routinely have people's cholesterol levels checked on a regular basis. They don't question the ever-lowering so-called healthy cholesterol levels...
Old woman, looking lost, superimposed on 'Memory' scratched in sand Statins Send Minds Down the Memory Hole—Once so rare it was considered a medical anomaly, more a cause for curiosity in medical texts than something to be studied, amnesia is becoming a commonplace complaint in doctor's offices and emergency rooms. This is another case of iatrogenic injury, and the cause is usually statins. Those routinely prescribed pills given mostly to healthy people are producing a wide array of devastating disorders. Among them is brain damage, most commonly in the form of amnesia.
Skull & Crossbones filled with pills Statins Do Not Extend Life, Not Even By A Day—There's data missing from nearly all statin studies - death rates from all causes. The true indicator of whether these drugs extend life is not included in most statin studies...There isn't one shred of evidence that taking statins extends life by a single day in people who don't have active heart disease. They are brilliantly successful, though, in extending the size of pharmaceutical companies' pockets.
Hypodermic Needles Even The Lancet Has Concerns About Flu VaccinesThe Lancet, Britain's prestigious medical publication, has editorialized for caution in using the new influenza vaccines, as Gaia Health has been cautioning. We reproduce their editorial here. Note in particular the concern about adjuvant use, as reported here in Gaia Health.
Mouse in Petrie Dish Cowering from Looming Tamiflu and Hypodermic Needle Summary of Flu Vaccine and Treatment Risks—The risks of new flu vaccines and treatments are significant. Before rushing into a vaccination or taking Tamiflu, be sure you know what harm they can do. Should we put our faith in a lack of proof of risks, or should we be more cautious?
Man Covering Privates With Hardhat Avoid Prostate Cancer Screening—Both Useless and Harmful—Prostate cancer tests are harmful. They detect cancers that aren't there. They detect cancers that will cause no health problems. They miss cancers that are aggressive; in fact, these are the ones most likely to be missed! They result in health and life damaging treatments. They do not improve life expectancy.
Sad Boy Behind Textured Glass With Elephant in Background The Elephants in the Autism Room—Big Pharma Money and Sudden Onset—Two elephants are crowding the autism room - Big Pharma money and the fact that most of these children were not born autistic. The medical system doesn't address these issues. (includes video)
Mouse cowering in petrie disk from big hypodermic needle. Squalene—Is New Vaccine Additive the Worst Yet?—Cover your arms, because a new and even worse vaccination assault may be upon Americans. Already approved to assault Europeans, an adjuvant—vaccine additive to increase its effect—called squalene is being added to boost the activity of the newer, weaker vaccines...It's been tested to see what happens when injected into animals. The results are, quite frankly, ugly.
Skull on Medical Text with Money Flu Vaccine Results in Tripling of Children's Hospitalization for Influenza—In yet another egregious example of valuing pharmaceutical money over health and safety, yet another study's results are misrepresented by the author. Of course, the APA and CDC aren't changing their recommendations, in spite of clear evidence that influenza vaccinations do harm.
Doctor in Mask with 'Trust Me' Superimposed New Cancer Drug—Hope or Hype?—Yet again, we're hearing hype about a new drug. The drug isn't yet on the market, but the news media is ecstatic because of the great promise demonstrated by Ipilimumab in treating prostate cancer. Their headlines can be summed up as, "It's a miracle!"
Biohazard Stamp over Dragon & Codex Alimentarius Codex Alimentarius (Part 2)—Food Defined As A Bunch of Chemicals—Foods most commonly eaten—those supplied by agribusiness—are sorely lacking in nutrients. If the health of people were Codex's primary concern, this would be a major issue...Instead, it is determined to remove our ability to rectify the problem. Supplement and vitamin potencies are so low that they become virtually useless.
Biohazard Stamp over Dragon & Codex Alimentarius Codex Alimentarius (Part 1)—Evil as a Medieval Cabal—Codex Alimentarius sounds like a medieval cabal. It is, though, quite thoroughly modern...It's stated purpose is "protecting health of the consumers and ensuring fair trade practices in the food trade...Appearances, though, can be deceiving...What Codex Alimentarius has in common with a medieval cabal is its nature—evil.
PsychoCorp Award to Merck PsychoCorp #4—Merck Published Fake Medical Journal—In its efforts to sell fatally flawed drugs, Merck produced and published a fake journal, the Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine. Elsevier was quite happy taking their money for printing it—and keeping quiet about it, too. Perhaps the marketing department at Merck should be given an award for its creativity...right before they and everyone involved are marched off to prison.
Cat glares at radiation symbol. Food Irradiation, Neurological Damage, Cats, Pseudoscience, and Us—According to scientists: Irradiated food causes neurological damage in cats, but that has no bearing on humans. On the other hand, cats naturally heal from the neurological damage, so humans may be able to heal from neurological damage, too—so, something that is true of cats may be true of humans. (And we have the quotes to prove it.)
1918 Photo of Sick Person in Hospital Bed Tuberculosis Caused Most 1918 Flu Pandemic Deaths—With all the hyperbole about the new influenza epidemic and comparisons to the 1918 pandemic, one would think that influenza is the danger. The reality, though, is likely far different. A close study of that worldwide outbreak shows that the real culprit was probably pandemic tuberculosis. Influenza, while certainly not a disease to be taken lightly, can best be viewed as the straw that broke the camel's back.
Word 'Flu' under universal No! symbol with sick person in backgroundHomeopathy Effective Against Epidemics and Influenza—Mainstream media creates a whirlwind of fear about it and standard allopathic medicine scrambles to treat and prevent it with risky drugs and vaccinations that have little, if any, benefit and may wreak havoc. While Big Pharma and doctors reap huge profits, those who utilize homeopathy are confident that their chosen modality for prevention and treatment will protect the great majority from harm.
Skull & Crossbones on Dollars Going Down a Drain Sting on FDA Demonstrates Its Corruption—If the FDA ever existed for the benefit of the people, that time has long passed. A congressional sting demonstrates the malfeasance that places every person who could be subjected to drugs or devices wielded by the medical system at grave risk.
Splenda Packets with Skull & Crossbones Sucralose Is Not Sugar—and It's Not Safe—Sucralose. It's sold in health food stores as a safe alternative to sweeteners. It's even described as being the same as sugar, only with half the calories. Don't let the hype fool you.
Skull, medical book, stethoscope, & money If Homeopathy Can't Work, Then Neither Can Anesthesia—One of the most common arguments against homeopathy says: It can't work, therefore it doesn't. Another throws out the challenge to explain how it works. Neither is a fair argument...These same people do not place the same burden on their own belief in allopathy.
Ann Marie Rogers, photo by Paul Hackett/Reuters Herceptin "Winner" Has Lost to Cancer—It's with sadness that we note Ann Marie Rogers' death from breast cancer, the disease she tried so hard to fight by forcing the United Kingdom's taxpayers to cover the experimental treatment, Herceptin. She won the public relations battle less than three years ago, but it did not help with her fight against cancer. There was a clear winner, though—Genentech, the drug's manufacturer. Because of Rogers' battle, Herceptin is being made available to thousands of women in the UK.
