Hit the drug lords in their pocket book!
The real drug lords are doing their business "officially", with government sanction. They are buttonholing our health officials and legislators to tell them about the wonders of vaccinations, psychoactive drugs for children in schools, poisonous concoctions to "fight cancer" and more.
Tim Bolen of Quackpotwatch.Org says there is a chance now for Americans to hit the drug lords where it hurts most - in their pocket book.
Of course the drug lords are active not only in the United States. Their web of deceit and their business with disease is a world wide affair - and thanks to the widespread acceptance of their lies, we are sitting ducks for their offerings: drugs that have little to do with health, medicine that prefers to treat instead of healing.
The greed of big pharma is a scandal of monstrous proportion.
"Cry Havoc, and Loose the Dogs of War" - William Shakespeare
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
August 14th, 2003
In the United States, the drug lords prevail.
So far...
26 drug companies fund the "quackbuster" operation. But now, because of the actions of one man, we have the opportunity to pull the financial rug out from under the most evil enemy America has ever faced, the very group that has dedicated itself to the financial ruin, and the illness, and death, of North America's population - big pharma.
All we have to do is help that one man. He's half done with the project. It goes like this...
Everybody knows that Americans pay three to seven times as much for the same prescription drug in the United States as Canadians and Europeans do. We don't even want to discuss Mexico or South American prices for the same prescriptions. The average American simply wouldn't believe the cost difference. The greed of big pharma is a scandal of monstrous proportion.
Senior citizens in the US have to make choices between medications and food every month. Our brighter children are forced by "the school nurse" to ingest mind-altering dangerous drugs, allegedly to control their behavior. Newborn babies are forcibly injected with a burning chemical concoction that their little bodies are completely unable to deal with. Influence peddlers, hired by the drug lords, grinningly march the halls of our government agencies buttonholing our civil servants to act on their behalf. The quackbusters are funded.
But one man, an American hero, has been pointing out this situation to the US Congress. And, they're listening. This one guy has found a way to do something about the problem. His name is Bill Faloon, and he's the head of the Life Extension Foundation. He's backing the idea that North Americans should be able to buy their prescriptions out of the country for a whole lot less money.
And, so far, Congress says "That's a good idea Bill... Let's do that." The US House of Representatives, despite massive drug lobbying, has already passed their version of the "Drug Importation Bill." The article our legislators are reading to help them make their decisions is right here. The bill is heading for the Senate.
And, that's where WE come in.
The drug lords with their mega-billion dollar advertising budget are getting ready to try and stop the bill in the Senate. That ad agency, the one where all the "quackbuster" targets are picked, is gearing up for the gold deliveries to their New York banks.
Now's our chance. The big opportunity. Ripping big pharma apart. Stabbing them where they live - in their cash flow.
Tired of sleazy drug lords calling the shots at the FTC, and the FDA? Tired of drug peddlers convincing "school nurses" to turn in little Johnny and Mary Sue as candidates for mind-altering "behavior drugs?" Tired of watching your family's once-proud Seniors try and figure out how to make the retirement check stretch for "the drugs?" And more?
What would happen if we, as Americans, were suddenly able to cut our drug costs to 20% of what they are now? Would big pharma fall apart? Would there be no money for drug dealer influence at FTC and FDA? Would there be no money to spend on so-called "school nurse" training programs? Would failed MD, and chief quackbuster propagandist, Stephen Barrett have to pay for his own lawsuits? Would health insurance plans be able to offer real health care?
I hope so.
Let's find out. Keep your eye on www.lef.org. Bill, and his team, are watching the Senate bill movement closely. When the time comes, it is up to us to overcome the advertising campaign that big pharma is going to throw at the American Senate. We'll show you how to contact your own Senator.
Outnumbering the quackbusters 100,000 to 1 will pay off, right here...
Stay tuned...

Pharmaceutical manufacturers cannot promote the use of drugs for other uses than those approved for the label, however it has become normal practice to dishonestly slant the reporting of scientific studies to suggest such unapproved use of drugs or to hype the supposed benefits of certain medicines, while hiding their adverse effects. GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of the antidepressant Paxil, released on its company Web site the reports of clinical tests... [read more]

It is a serious charge to make, but it is not made lightly. Charles documents his findings with articles from the... [read more]

Americans are waking up to the exorbitant prices pharmaceutical companies charge for prescription drugs - with knowledge and backing by the nation's pharma watchdog, the FDA. Most drugs cost more in the US - often double or even triple the price in other countries, making it difficult especially for the economically weaker elderly to acquire medications. Illinois is now ready to join four other States in actually encouraging its residents... [read more]
