'The parents of the five families contend that vaccines caused their children’s disabilities have joined forces to take GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer and Sanofi to court in hopes that the courts will acknowledge the side effects of vaccines and award compensation to their disabled children. 

Their lawyer, Mr. Hartemann, presented their case before the Court of Bobigny in the outskirts of Paris.'

Creating Disease: Big Pharma and Disease Mongering

 http://www.nutritional-supplements-health-guide.com/images/cartoons/ct_disease_mongers_inc_600.jpg

'You may think there is enough disease in the world already, and that no one would want to add to the diseases that we humans must deal with. But there is a powerful industry in our society that is working overtime to invent illnesses and to convince us we are suffering from them.

This effort is known as "disease mongering," a term introduced by health-science writer Lynn Payer in her 1992 book Disease-Mongers: How Doctors, Drug Companies, and Insurers Are Making You Feel Sick. Payer defined disease mongering as "trying to convince essentially well people that they are sick, or slightly sick people that they are very ill."'

Big Pharma Mafia: Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime

Is Big Pharma like the Mafia? Cochrane Medical Journal founder says YES.


'Removal of drugs should usually not be accompanied by the introduction of other types of treatment. Many patients would gain a better quality of life if their drugs were taken away from them. What we need is to remember Brian McFerrin’s song: “Don’t worry, be happy”. 

We shall all die, but we should remember to live while we are here without worrying that some day in the future we might get ill. It is daunting how many healthy people are put on drugs that lower blood pressure or cholesterol, and it changes people from healthy citizens to patients who may start worrying about their good health.

This can have profound psychological consequences apart from the side effects of the drugs that the patients don’t always realise are side effects, e.g. if they get more tired or depressed after starting antihypertensive therapy or experience problems in their sex life.'

'Far from being recognized for their potential health hazards, ADHD drugs have gained a reputation as "cognition enhancers" among students and young professionals. Narcotic painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs, and antidepressants are also notoriously overprescribed, which I'll address below. According to data from IMS Health,1 a whopping 48.4 million prescriptions for ADHD stimulants were written in 2011, up 39 percent from 2007. As reported by CNN Health.'

Bribery, Fraud and Corruption Charges Against Big Pharma

‘What happens when the ‘Average Joe’ gets caught committing a crime? He or she usually gets the book thrown at them, most often spending time in the slammer. However, what happens when “corporations too big to fail” get caught with “their hands in the cookie jar,” so to speak? 

Not very many folks pay the time, but the corporate treasury pays the fine. Why? Apparently, large sums of money can “absolve corporate sins” time after time after time. One industry that has had enormous fines levied against it is the pharmaceutical industry, also known as Big Pharma.’

The FDA just approved Big Pharma marketing drug treatments to healthy people

 https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqGMTM7apV0T8KGjX-LPopc_cJQALf361Dj7kahE1-m8Q5giSmbE-uvDCi4iZnO7OdfbvAfOv05mL8b1mJydo7M0TkYfQRn7i1wOj_wgFF8nLLsLLnM5EZtwojLjuqRqkZUNjhXGPUZmc/s400/Big+Pharma+well+org_crime.JPG


'But as I pointed out as a citizen journalist for Natural News back in the spring of 2012, if Big Pharma can legally start marketing drugs to people as a preventative option instead of just strictly for treatment, what’s to stop this decision from opening the door WIDE to start treating otherwise healthy people with expensive, risky medicines based on fear of the diseases they will potentially get instead of what they actually have?'

Toddlers Dosed With Speed? How Big Pharma Hooks America's Kids on Dangerous Meds

 http://www.undergroundhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Eisernberg.jpg

'A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week confirmed what many have suspected: more than 10,000 2- and 3-year-olds in the U.S. are being dosed with drugs like Ritalin and Adderall for "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder." You read that right.There is no medical basis to the dosing. 

American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines for ADHD "do not even address the diagnosis in children 3 and younger—let alone the use of such stimulant medications," reported theNew York Times, especially because "hyperactivity and impulsivity are developmentally appropriate for toddlers."'

Ask Your Doctor if This Big Pharma Scam Is Right for You: The Dangers of a Drugged Up America

Photo Credit: preventdisease.com


'Welcome to medicated America, where the fix for every problem--from incontinence to erectile dysfunction, stiff joints to mood swings, weight gain to wrinkles-- is just a prescription away.

Thus the beautiful images, stirring music, attractive actors, and soothing words in the omnipresent, multibillion-dollar kaleidoscope of drug advertising by Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, and other giants of Big Pharma--all pitching their particular brand-name nostrum directly at us hoi polloi (the industry spends a fourth of its income on ads and other promotions, nearly double its expenditures on research and development). 

The corporate come-ons typically conclude with a phrase that has achieved cliche status in America's vernacular: "Ask your doctor if 'Suprema Wundercure' is right for you."'

How Big Pharma Intends to Create a Generation of Drug Addicts

Post image for How Big Pharma Intends to Create a Generation of Drug Addicts


'The diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is 15% in high school children, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control. The number of children on medication for this disorder has risen from 600,000 in 1990 to 3.5 million today. Is this epidemic of children using psychostimulant drugs real or manipulated?

According to Dr. Kevin Conners, a psychologist and professor emeritus at Duke University, and one of the doctors who lead the fight to legitimize ADHD in the 1970′s, this is not an epidemic.

The numbers make it look like an epidemic. Well, it’s not. It’s preposterous… This is a concoction to justify the giving out of medication at unprecedented and unjustifiable levels.

How Big Pharma Markets to and Profits from a ‘Can’t-Pay-Attention Nation’



‘What came first: the disorder, the cure, or the marketing campaign to sell both?

“You’re talking about a product that’s having a major impact on brain chemistry. Parents are very susceptible to this type of stuff.” –Roger Griggs, pharma exec who now objects to ad campaigns

In the case of medicating a generation of children who were said to be “unusually hyperactive,” the answer to that question is addressed by an in-depth investigation by the New York Times on Monday showing that the meteoric rise of diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (A.D.H.D.)—a trend that spawned a pharmaceutical gold rush over the last twenty years—was, in fact, fueled by an industry-led marketing campaign that targeted struggling children, worried parents, and an army of doctors willing to diagnose and prescribe.

And what’s worse? The deep-pocketed, pill-pushers are now looking to expand.’

Big Pharma Gives Another Child Narcolepsy via the Swine Flu Vax, Then Cures It with a New Miracle Drug That Costs Over $20K per Year

 http://www.amfirstbooks.com/IntroPages/NonToolbarTopics/Trojan_Horse_Vaccination/Art/David_Dees_flu_vacc_playset.jpg

‘Before you line your kids up to have this year’s flu vaccine sprayed up their noses or injected into their arms, consider the fact that in Europe, children developed incurable debilitating narcolepsy after receiving injections from a drug developed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). But it’s okay – they have created a miracle treatment that costs the child’s family only a bit over $20,000 per year…forever.

More than 800 children across Europe have been diagnosed with this lifelong neurological disorder and the evidence is overwhelming in the implication of the vaccine.’

Seven Drugs Whose Dangerous Risks Emerged Only After Big Pharma Made Its Money



‘Have you ever noticed how warnings about dangerous prescription drugs always seem to surface after the drug is no longer marketed and its patent has run out? Whether it’s an FDA advisory or a trial lawyer solicitation about harm that may have been done to you, the warnings are always belated and useless. If a drug you took four years ago may have given you liver damage, why didn’t the FDA tell you then? Why didn’t the FDA recall the drug or better yet, not approve it in the first place?'
