The Pharmaceutical "Business with Disease"

"Compared to the reality of the drug industry, my book
reads like a va-cation post card" John Le Carre,

There is an entire industry with an innate economic interest to
obstruct, suppress and discredit any information about the
eradication of diseases. The pharmaceutical industry makes over one
trillion dollars from selling drugs for ongoing diseases. These
drugs may relieve symptoms, but they do not cure. We have to realize
that the mission of this industry is to make money from ongoing
diseases. The cure or eradication of a disease leads to the collapse
of a multi-billion dollar market of pharmaceuticals.
I encourage you to read the key points about the nature of the
pharmaceutical business and to think about each of them. Now you
will understand why we are bombarded with advertising campaigns by
pharmaceutical companies wanting to make us believe that they are
“Searching for Cures” “ Striving for the Eradica-tion of Diseases”
or “Increasing Life Expectancy” and other false promises. With these
deceptive statements, the pharmaceutical industry has for decades
been able to disguise the true nature of its business – maximum
profit from ongoing diseases.
The Pharmaceutical "Business with Disease" Causes More Deaths
Than All Wars of Mankind Combined
As a direct consequence of the pharmaceutical business, more
people have died from preventable disease than in all wars of
mankind combined. The following summarizes the steps leading to this
tragedy.
The fact that vitamin C stabilizes the walls of arteries, for
example, has been known for 200 years, ever since James Lind
uncovered vitamin C deficiency as the cause of blood loss and
scurvy. Any head of a pharmaceutical company, any Ph.D. or M.D. who
denies knowing this fact is simply incredulous.
Why, then, was this information not applied to medicine in order
to combat cardiovascular disease? Why was the official RDA for
vitamin C set at 60 mg, an amount barely sufficient to prevent
scurvy but certainly low enough to make sure that cardiovascular
diseases will become an epidemic? The following page gives the
answer.
Throughout this century, the pharmaceutical companies knew that
an optimum vitamin supply of the population would lead to the
collapse of a multi-billion dollar market of prescription drugs.
Moreover, vitamins are not patentable and the profit margins are
low. On the basis of this analysis the survival of the
pharmaceutical industry became dependent on two strategies:
- To obstruct research, information, and use of vitamins and
other natural therapies by all means available.
- To promote the deception that patentable synthetic drugs are
the answer to human diseases.
The Pharmaceutical Industry Is As Indispensable for a
Country as Cancer Is for the Body
How is it that millions of people are still willing to pay
billions of dollars to the pharma-cartel for medicine that does not
cure and frequently harms?
The answer to this question is that over the past century the
pharma-cartel and their army of lobbyists have built an intricate
maze of control, infiltration, economic incentives, bribes,
manipulation, and deception. The most important elements of this
maze are summarized on the following page. Millions of people and
patients were systematically deceived by this maze of
- Manipulation of research so that synthetic drugs rather than
natural therapies appear as “medicine”,
- Prescription of this “medicine” by doctors who have had no
education in nutritional medicine and who receive financial
benefits for prescribing pharmaceuticals but not natural
therapies,
- Deception by multi-million dollar advertising campaigns for
pharmaceutical drugs that deliberately deceive the public about
the effects and risks of drugs and about the unethical nature of
the pharma-business,
- Regulation brought about by regulatory agencies and
legislation under the pressure of a pharma-lobby, disallowing
established health claims for vitamins and other natural remedies.
In the future no nation can afford to burden its economy with a
pharmaceutical industry that grows like a cancer at the expense of
the people, of corporations and of the public sector, all of which
suffocate from exploding health care costs for a medicine that does
not cure.
21st Century: Liberation from Human Health
500 years ago, the Roman church was making billions of Thaler
(early dollars) by selling indulgences, an imaginary “key to
heaven”for its believers. Then the fraud scheme collapsed and with
it much of the power of the church. Today, the pharma business uses
the same fraud scheme. It tries to sell the “ key to health” to
millions of people and takes away billions of dollars in return for
an illusion: the deception that the pharmaceutical industry is
interested in your health.
Considering this unhealthy state of affairs, the urgency for a
new health care is obvious. The liberation from this insane yoke of
the pharmaceutical industry will immediately and directly benefit
millions of people, the business community and the public sector of
all nations. This new health care system is based on an improved
knowledge and participation by millions of people. Basic health has
become understandable, doable and affordable for everyone. The era
in human history when health was delegated to an industry that
shamelessly took advantage of it is over and gone.
The new health care system focuses on primary health care,
prevention and eradication of diseases. Health consultants and
health centers will replace many medical hightech centers of today.
Every health food store is the beginning for a community health
center.
The new health care system is being built by dedicated lay people
together with a growing number of doctors and health professionals.
The majority of health professionals are realizing that they
themselves had been compromised by pharmaceutical companies and had
become victims of a drug-centered health care.
