--> There is no scientifically justifiable role in veterinary medicine for the majority of the pharmaceuticals now being pushed onto vets, vet techs, and pet owners.
Even the pet shelters are being influenced by Big Pharma. When I rescued my pet from a local animal shelter, I was given a DVD sponsored by a drug company. It offered to teach me about pet behavior while brainwashing me into thinking I needed to give my dog toxic pills for preventing ticks and fleas. As this simple example demonstrates, even the animal shelters are now in bed with Big Pharma. | | There is absolutely no rationale that justifies the routine chemical treatment of pets with patented, high-profit pharmaceuticals. Mainstream veterinary medicine, as practiced today, is a cruel, exploitive industry that ultimate causes significant harm to the very animals we should be trying to save.
Don't be suckered by the "miracle pill" sales pitch. Dogs, cats and horses don't need meds. What they need is great nutrition and medicine from nature.
Just like people. |  This kind of twisted, circular logic typifies modern psychiatric medicine, which spontaneously invokes the existence of numerous psychiatric "disorders" at the exact coincidental moment that profitable pharmaceuticals become available to treat them. The logic of psychiatry goes like this: ADHD is a real disease because it's in the DSIM-IV manual (the bible of fictitious psychiatric disorders). ADHD is listed in the DSIM-IV because it's a real disease according to a group of Big Pharma-funded psychiatrists who made it up. Thus, ADHD is real because psychiatrists say is it! |  In my opinion, the AMA is indirectly responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans -- not just from pushing cigarettes but also for continuing to push dangerous pharmaceuticals while discrediting nearly everything in natural medicine or alternative medicine. The AMA is a truly evil organization, in my opinion, that I believe has directly and knowingly contributed to the suffering and death of Americans for more than 75 years. Read my story, What the AMA hopes you never learn about its true history to learn more. | | Nobody intelligent today actually believes that pharmaceuticals help people heal. In fact, the more drugs people take, the worse their health becomes! Modern medicine is actually harmful to patients!
Medical science is slow to change, and slow to give up its closely-guarded (false) beliefs. In time, however, virtually everything now supported by the medical industry (the FDA, AMA, ACS, etc.) will be regarded as insanely harmful to human health. |  Botanicals interfere with pharmaceuticals, not the other way around. There is no such thing as a pharmaceutical that interferes with an herb.
Scientific progress is measured by the degree to which man dominates nature.
Free speech should only be protected for drug companies, not nutritional supplement companies.
The 300+ synthetic chemicals now found in the blood of nearly everyone are completely harmless and have no negative health effects. | | The FDA is incapable of making mistakes, and therefore, drug companies should be granted full immunity against consumer lawsuits surrounding the injuries and deaths caused by FDA-approved pharmaceuticals. It is impossible for an FDA-approved drug to cause the death of anyone, because the FDA is infallible.
There is no need to safety test chemicals used in cosmetics and personal care products because the skin doesn't absorb chemicals. Unless, of course, we're talking about transdermal drug delivery products like the anti-smoking patch, in which case the skin readily absorbs chemicals. |  The writers report that drug reps are trained to gather as much personal information as possible about the doctors to whom they are promoting pharmaceuticals -- from birthdays and hobbies to religious affiliation. Drug reps are trained to note any detail that can be used to establish a personal relationship with a doctor. Ahari stated, "During training, I was told, when you're out to dinner with a doctor, 'The physician is eating with a friend. You are eating with a client.'"
Drug reps offer gifts, and not just mugs and pens inscribed with drug names. |  If you wanted to eat produce grown without synthetic chemicals or meat raised on pasture without pharmaceuticals, you were out of luck. The supermarket had become the only place to buy food, and real food was rapidly disappearing from its shelves, to be replaced by the modern cornucopia of highly processed foodlike products. And because so many of these novelties deliberately lied to our senses with fake sweeteners and flavorings, we could no longer rely on taste or smell to know what we were eating. |  Phytochemicals are more like natural pharmaceuticals, but far safer (and far less expensive) than drug company pharmaceuticals. In the past, however, they were sometimes called vitamins:
Phytochemical is the term now used when discussing the plant source of most of these protective compounds. Right now, these compounds have a "quasi-nutrient" status, so perhaps phytonutrients is a more accurate term. But the more common term remains phytochemicals. |  The main fragrance component of this oil is Iinalool, which can cause allergic reactions and make skin more sensitive to sunlight (Source: Herbal Drugs and pharmaceuticals, Medpharm GmbH Scientific Publishers, 1994).
© Daily Moisture Lotion SPF 15 ($35 for 1.7 ounces) lacks the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, Tinosotb, or Mexoryl SX, and is not recommended.
© Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant ($16for 1.7ounces) lands on many fashion magazines' "best of beauty" lists for its long-standing history and versatility. |  The defenders of pharmaceuticals have become so desperate to discredit antioxidants and nutrition in general that they have now resorted to quoting study results from people who didn't even take the vitamins! I'm not sure if this strategy is brilliant or idiotic: It's brilliant because the mainstream media swallows the story hook, line and sinker (journalists aren't very skeptical anymore...). It's idiotic because it's based on a logic gap so large you could drive a circus convoy through it. |  Davidson, the lead author, also holds stock in Pfizer, American Home Products, GlaxoSmithKline, Procter and Gamble, and Triangle Pharmaceuticals; has received speaker fees from Solvay, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Wyeth-Ayerst, Lichtwer, and the American Psychiatric Association; has been a scientific advisor to Allergan, Solvay, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Forest pharmaceuticals, Inc. |  The same research team conducted a similar study with risperidone or olanzapine, the two most commonly prescribed drugs for the disorder. The pharmaceuticals treated the children's disorders but led to side effects including diabetes.
Other commonly prescribed drugs such as lithium, divalproex and carbamazepine are only minimally effective or fraught with adverse effects, the researchers noted.
"EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make so we must obtain them in our diet, which is very hard to do, or by supplements," said Locke. |  If I were in charge around here, I would immediately ban all advertising of junk foods, sodas, snack foods, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals and other harmful substances. It's the only sane thing to do if we care about the future of our children. Of course, such advertising bans will never actually take place because corporations run the government. See my CounterThink Cartoon, Government of the People for a humorous depiction of this current state of affairs.
And as far as Pepsi's water brand goes, I think it should be renamed to AquaFib. |  Advocating the chemical intoxication of the American people
The FDA also allows all kinds of toxic chemicals to be used in over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Everything from cough syrups to pain pills seems to be openly contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals ranging from synthetic sweeteners to petrochemical-derived coloring chemicals. You can hardly pick up an over-the-counter medication at a convenience store without seeing some scary chemical on the ingredients list.
The USDA, meanwhile, openly allows U.S. |  The more you use the microwave, the worse your nutritional state gets, and the more likely you are to be diagnosed with various diseases and put on pharmaceuticals which, of course, will create other health problems that lead to a grand spiraling nosedive of health.
Do yourself a favor: Toss your microwave, or donate it to some charity. It's much easier to avoid using the microwave if you don't have one around. It will clear up counter space, save you electricity and greatly enhance your dietary habits. |  I do not allow myself to be polluted with television, pharmaceuticals, recreational drugs, energy vampire people (like friends who drain away all your energy) or processed foods. The result is that when I focus on something, it manifests relatively quickly (there's still a whole lot of work involved, of course, but that's the nature of getting things done in this physical world). Perhaps there is some other version of the multiverse in which intention is instantly translated into effects, but here in this one we all share, intention often requires practical steps for manifestation. | | You'd have to be truly out of your mind to think that plant-based nutrition has no role in human health and that only pharmaceuticals can prevent disease.
Yet this remains the dominant mindset in conventional medicine today. It is a mindset based on deliberate falsehoods, scientific distortion and outright lies. And right now, you're witnessing yet another attempt to disinform the public about the promise of antioxidants.
Personally, I take antioxidants every day. I also eat raw foods, drink superfood smoothies and avoid all prescription drugs. | | That's when the drug companies, hospitals, FDA and everybody else depending on the current drug marketing racket steps in and tries to convince you to stop taking nutritional supplements and surrender to a (short) life of pharmaceuticals.
Pushing drugs and abandoning the people
For the Brigham and Women's Hospital, I think this action we're seeing today is yet another example of how organizations that once accomplished meaningful work have apparently sold their souls to Big Pharma and now operate as little more than drug company front groups. Gee, I wonder where their funding comes from? | | Pushers of pharmaceuticals, of course, want to make vitamins look bad. So they quote the results that include people who never even took the vitamins. "See?" they say. "The benefits aren't there." Of course they aren't! It's like taking a room full of a hundred hungry children, handing fifty of them a large sandwich, then declaring that sandwiches don't work as food because half the room is still hungry.
That these figures would even be quoted as something resembling "scientific medicine" is laughable. |  Americans currently pay monopoly prices for pharmaceuticals, and the FDA even goes out of its way to protect this drug racket, working to block competing imports from Canada and other countries, even going so far as to imply that people who bring drugs into the U.S. from other countries are criminals. If the FTC believes in fair trade and protecting consumers from monopolistic, predatory pricing practices by greedy U.S. corporations, why isn't the FTC taking a good, hard look at the downright fraudulent pricing practices and monopolistic marketing tactics of drug companies? | | In modern medical lingo, any statement about "controlling high blood pressure" or "controlling high cholesterol" or even "controlling blood sugar" actually means taking pharmaceuticals to control those numbers. So when researchers say that people need to "control their high blood pressure" what they're really saying is that people should take high blood pressure drugs.)
It's a message that might as well have been announced from the Big Pharma Glee Club, or the FDA cheerleading squad. | | There is no disease caused by a deficiency of pharmaceuticals, and most of the drugs being marketed today are pushed under the most ridiculous advertising claims and distorted medical "science." Properly-prescribed, FDA-approved drugs are right now the 3rd leading cause of death in America, and even those individuals who aren't killed by the drugs suffer rapidly declining health when taking them. (Have you ever seen anyone take prescription drugs for a few months and get so healthy that they stopped needing the drugs? Of course not. |  You might as well say that pharmaceuticals don't work on people who don't take them, either.
I wonder why they even bothered to give antioxidants to the participating women at all. If you're going to count the results of all the women who don't take the supplements, why not simply launch the study, give vitamins to no one, then announce the conclusion that vitamins don't work? This could create a whole new way to conduct clinical research: Track the health results in people who have taken nothing! | | It is no coincidence that pharmaceuticals are allowed to be advertised everywhere, promoted with outrageously false claims of benefits, and that such advertising is in no way regulated by anyone. "Free speech" is granted to pharmaceutical companies, but not to dietary supplement companies. It is my belief that free speech is not free if it only selectively allowed. | | Davidson, the lead author, also holds stock in Pfizer, American Home Products, GlaxoSmithKline, Procter and Gamble, and Triangle Pharmaceuticals; has received speaker fees from Solvay, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Wyeth-Ayerst, Lichtwer, and the American Psychiatric Association; has been a scientific advisor to Allergan, Solvay, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Forest pharmaceuticals, Inc. |  In fact, Juice Feasting juices will help protect your body from pharmaceuticals! Your liver, for example, which is usually hammered by taking doctor-prescribed medicines, will experience new, youthful vitality following regular Juice Feasting.
The benefits of Juice Feasting are limitless
There are so many benefits from Juice Feasting that it's just too many to list right here. But let me say that every major body system gets protected from disease on a Juice Feast. |  Congress has reached agreement on a House / Senate compromise regarding the recently passed FDA reform legislation that aims to improve the safety of pharmaceuticals. The bill will now move to the White House where it is expected to be signed by the President.
While this new FDA reform bill still lacks crucial safety provisions for U.S. | |
