Staying Young Forever with Lani Simpson, DC
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
Anti-aging strategies and dangers of Premarin, Provera, and Botox are discussed. Big Pharma can sell most anything to both patients and doctors. The Women's Health Initiative Study showed how dangerous HRT is.
Suddenly Sick Syndrome
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
Big pharma redefines the criteria for disease to make more people "sick" and sell more drugs for these conditions. Pre-hypertension, pre-osteoporosis (osteopenia), and pre-obesity are examples. How this happens is described. This creates the "worried well!"
Supreme Court Backs Vaccine Makers
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
The Supreme Court ruled that federal law shields vaccine makers from product liability, and lawsuits from State Courts seeking damages for a child’s death or injury from a vaccine side effect.
Swine Flu Vaccine: Do You Need It? Part 2
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
The CDC and FDA has recommended the swine flu vaccine with almost non-existing science regarding its effectiveness and its safety. The basis for making the decision to recommend the vaccine has been by proclamation! What little data that does exist in the medical literature about the effectiveness of influenza vaccines shows it doesn't work in either infants...
The ALLHAT Study on Hypertension, Diuretics, and Lifestyle
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
The largest study ever done on how we should treat hypertension showed that thiazide diuretics and lifestyle are what was recommended. It exposes the mercenary nature of big pharma in promoting their new designer drugs that work no better than older approaches that are cheap.
The FDA's Criteria for Approving New Drugs Will Blow Your Mind
submitted by: admin on 02/09/2014
According to a Yale School of Medicine study published in the January 22, 2014 issue of JAMA, reviewed 188 drugs and technologies from 2005-2012 and documented that more than 1/3 of the drugs were approved not only on the basis of a single clinical trial, but also were often small, short, and involved surrogate metrics rather than clear clinical endpoints. It...
The Future of Health Medicine with Byron Belitsos
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
We don't have reliable scientific research in health care and we desperately need it. The reason for research today is about creating income, social status, or imporance rather than publishing truth and facts. The bulk of research is funded by big pharma, not NIH. The history of research is corrupt and biased. The collusion between FDA, Congress, big pharma and...
The Off Label Usage of Drugs
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
FDA approved drugs can be legally used for any purpose physicians choose. It is illegal for drug companies to promote off-label uses, but the law has not stopped them. FDA regulations need to be enforced.
The Outrageous Cost of Health Care in America
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
We spend more on health care in the US than the next 10 countries combined and at the same time we're ranked last among industrialized countries. Go figure! The only way to "achieve" this is to treat health care as a business rather than a service. The $2.8 trillion we spend every year is great for the economy, but does not do much for...
The Path to Emotional Freedom with Judith Orloff, MD
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
We need to look at harnessing our biology to heal, but we also need to look to the emotional roots to learn the deeper meaning of our dis-ease. Judith shares her early years of emotional challenge very openly. Wholeness requires coming to congruency with all of who we are.
The PolyPill and PolyMeal
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Big pharma has pushed using a combination of several pills (the PolyPill) for everyone to prevent diseases without regard to the complications. The PolyMeal is about having certain foods in your diet regularly to promote health.
The Saftey of Newly Approved Drugs
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
We are guinea pigs whenever a new drug comes onto the market. This is especially true for drugs that are "fast tracked" through the FDA. Post approval clinical trials are required in this setting by the FDA from big pharma, but often they are not done. Older drugs that have been on the market for decades are generally better tested and safer.
The True Role of Antidepressants in Healthcare with Meg Jordan, PhD, RN
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
SSRIs have been shown to be no better than placebo in a large metaanalysis. Psychiatry has taken a huge step backwards by turning to psychopharmacology. Treating symptoms rather than looking at the deeper causes of depression is naive except in rare occasions. Placebo is a powerful tool that evolkes the neurobiology of the body.

Four billion prescriptions were filled in the US in the year 2011 and at a cost of $227 billion according to the World Pharmaceutical Market Summary. The top five therapy classes of drugs were statins, antiulcerants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and antihypertensives.

Type 2 Diabetes
submitted by: admin on 02/19/2015
Type 2 diabetes is nearly always a preventable disease and is usually reversible using lifestyle strategies by themselves. There are dozens of medications available to treat elevated blood sugar levels, but nearly all of them have common potentially serious "side effects." There are also a wide range of nutritional supplements that are equally effective...
US Health Care is Seriously Lacking
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
US health care performance is much worse than most countries; we're ranked by the WHO number 37 in the world in overall quality of health care. We spend nearly twice of any other country and yet our effectiveness is a disaster. When business trumps service, this is what happens. Universal health care is good for health care but not good for business...
Vitamin C for Cancer Treatment
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Intravenous vitamin C for treatment of cancer was pioneered by Linus Pauling in the early 1970s and now, finally, there is mainstream literature having a second look at IV vitamin C in people with lymphomas. IV vitamin C is converted in to hydrogen peroxide by cancer cells and it kills them.
Water Disinfectant By Products are Dangerous
submitted by: admin on 08/04/2014
Clearly, we need disinfected water so we aren't at risk for many diseases such as cholera and hepatitis. However there are more than 600 water disinfectant byproducts have been discovered and many are toxic. The EPA regulates only 11 of these products. Haloacetic acid (HAAs), triclosan, dioxins, chlorine, fluoride, pharmaceutical drugs, and many...
What Does it Really Mean to Stand Up to Cancer
submitted by: admin on 09/10/2014
The widely viewed national television show, Stand Up to Cancer, that aired on September 5, 2014 featured dozens of movie stars and comedians, and was hosted by Katie Couric. It was entertaining and fun for sure. However, it was sponsored by many pharmaceutical companies...can you imagine why? Hmmm, let me see...it was one giant ad for treating cancer with chemotherapy,...
What is Bankrupting US Healthcare?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
According to an article in Life Extension published in April of 2012, there are three factors responsible for the fiscal insolvency of the US healthcare system; skyrocketing drug prices, reactive medicine, and FDA corruption. Big Pharma protects its expiring patents by filing frivolous law suits against companies making generic drugs. These costs are...
