Women's Issues

Where is the impartial, balanced reporting when it comes to Merck's latest 'miracle drug', Gardasil? It would seem that most of the media are blissfully happy with Merck's and the FDA's track record when it comes to 'drug safety'.
Colin Downes-Grainger
Most ordinary people are still haunted by the memory of the tens of thousands of people killed by Merck's other wonder drug, Vioxx. However, the press seem to be immune to such ugly reminders of the failure of the drug industry and their drug-funded regulatory agencies to protect the public from harm.
Merck would do better to instead develop a vaccine to rid the press of amnesia on the subject of adverse reactions to vaccines and other FDA-approved drugs.
With the BBC pulling at the heartstrings of the public with phrases such as 'plea for girls aged 11' one might be forgiven for thinking that little girls all over the world are menaced with imminent death from cervical cancer.
Once again media drug advertising is thinly disguised as health information and the public are repeatedly bombarded with death threats. Death threats in the form of disease scare-mongering and demands that potentially deadly (but more importantly very profitable) products be forced upon children.

A review by Emma Holister

(See end of article for related cartoons.)
As the media direct the eyes of the world towards Bush's ceaseless war on terror, to wars in the Middle East and to threats of more wars, it seems somehow irrelevant to consider the plight of the hundreds of thousands of women whose lives have been destroyed by the medical industry's mass marketing of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
What is perhaps surprising, if one can just tear one's eyes away from the news for a moment, is that the war industry and the drug industry have always been joined in an intimate marriage of profit and propaganda, bringing war to the masses and endless fodder for the junk press posing as national news. This blood-and-guts orgy, spiced up with religious frenzy and passionate TV debate is one more episode in the real-life soap opera brought to us care of the world's mega corporations. Their friends, the world media, enthral us, the masses, with a real life, seat-gripping drama. The blood and guts of the innocent is far more newsworthy than the boring details of backstage politics and sordid multi-billion dollar drug and chemical industry deals. These are the deals that pull the strings of our puppet governments in their march towards a world of 'security' and ever greater civic control.
Martin Walker's book, 'HRT, Licensed to Kill and Maim' is the opening of the eyes, an awakening; the perception of the invisible network of giant industrial corporations working in synch to keep the market of genocide thriving and the eyes of the masses averted.

After a break of a year and a half, I'm happy to announce that Candida International is back, this time with my 'Doctoring Business' cartoons. My aim is to do regular but not excessive posts that provide helpful information on the iatrogenic (doctor induced) illness Candida and on Health Freedom issues. Moreover, I will be including cartoons in most of my posts in order to provide a little comic relief for those suffering from 'Information Overload Syndrome'.
The following is a compilation of quotes, links and cartoons on Candida-related issues.

"In a world of profits before health, women are being lied to and receiving second-rate care. In the year 2000 alone, more women went to alternative health care practitioners than to conventional physicians, even though insurance doesn't pay for the majority of alternatives."
