BRIBERY IN MEDICINE

This is a 4-part story

ON HIS OWN, Don has determined that virtually every medical scientist in America is on the take one way or another, mostly for research funds. Almost all academic institutions are intentionally teaching their students lies about stem cells, straight from the embryonic playbook. “There is no way that we at RSCI can be right about the embryonic hoax time after time and these crooks don’t know they are lying.” Why does RSCI care so much? Because these are the murderers who would rather you die from a disease they will never be permitted to cure, than allow Repair (adult) Stem Cells to help you!

There are more books out today on medical corruption than any other subject in medicine. So let’s take a look at the entire picture---and we’ll even put the occasional book title in bold italics.

HOW CORRUPT IS THE FDA?

By far, one of the most disconcerting bribery-influenced systems surrounds the FDA and the USDA, two government agencies that are supposed to protect the American public. The FDA has been repeatedly linked to bribery, and this corruption is public knowledge, thanks to the 1989 generic drug scandals.** Ironically, it was a pharmaceutical company, Mylan, that exposed the pharmaceutical industry's influence on the drug approval process.

After suspecting corruption in the fast approval of some pharmaceuticals and not others, Mylan hired private detectives who "caught FDA agents red-handed taking bribes in exchange for expediting drug approval," explains Kenny Ausubel in When Healing Becomes a Crime. This resulted in the conviction of four FDA employees and, most significantly, loss of public trust.

Unfortunately, health care corruption in this country doesn't end with the FDA; it has infiltrated the whole system. Drug companies regularly use trips, dinners, cash and free drugs to "persuade" doctors to prescribe new and expensive pharmaceuticals, according to many sources. These bribery expenses pay for themselves many times over, as the most popular drug may not be necessarily the most effective or the one with the least number of side effects, but rather the one that has been promoted and advertised the most. In other words, the majority of American doctors care not a whit about their patients’ health compared to their commissions!

HOW CORRUPT IS BIG PHARMA?

Now, of course, the pharmaceutical companies disguise their bribes under the altruistic term "gifts," but Natural Alternatives author Michael T. Murray finds the term suspect, asking poignantly, "If the drug company didn't expect the gift to influence the doctor's decision, why would it give the gift?" He goes on to clarify, "A gift implies that there are no strings attached." As much as they would not like to admit it to others, or especially to themselves, doctors know that these "gifts" are linked to an ulterior motive, according to Dr. Jerome P. Kassirer in his book, On the Take. In other words, you may not always be able to trust your doctor to make an objective decision about your care.

AND THE RESULTS OF BRIBERY ARE DEATH, PERMANENT DAMAGE, AND FAILURE TO CURE:

What does this mean for you as the consumer? Plenty. Though bribery is harmful anywhere, the use of bribery in the health care system is especially dangerous, making it more important than ever for you to take an active, informed role in your health care. Yes, bribery is prevalent in modern society, but it doesn't have to control your life.

NEXT ISSUE The experts speak on bribery:

**EDITOR’S NOTE:

Generic drug bribery takes a new form in the 21^st century, stealing from you and making many drug companies richer!

When a patent runs out, the “law” says anyone may manufacture and sell the drug, and the price then drops significantly. But the crooks who keep you in their overpriced medical prison have an illegal way to keep the price up so they can keep robbing you beyond 20 years. They go to the generic companies and offer them more money than they can make legitimately to not make the drug! So it goes generic, but the price stays up at 300%, 400% 500% of the legitimate price, you get robbed, and all the crooked drug companies get even richer as you get sicker and poorer.

THE FDA COOPERATES IN THIS SCAM BY PRETENDING TO GO AFTER THE CROOKS BUT THEY NEVER DO. It’s still going on as you read this article.
