Medical companies fake reality on a daily basis

Medical companies fake reality on a daily basis


(NaturalNews) Glaxo, Merck, and Pfizer, three giant drug companies, are
under the gun. Glaxo has just paid a $3 billion fine for bribery,
fabricating drug-safety data, and fraud. Merck has been caught inventing
data to give the impression its mumps vaccine is effective. Pfizer is
being attacked for conspiring to prevent generic-drug competition
against its wildly popular Lipitor.

Only a fool, however, would
assume these legal assaults against drug giants will stop them from
lying, cheating, and endangering the public in the future.

For
example, the $3 billion Glaxo fine covers scheming, lying, and cheating
in connection with three of its drugs: Paxil; Wellbutrin; and Avandia.
Total sales of those drugs during the period of time in question? 27.9
billion dollars. Three billion dollars is a drop in the bucket.

Let's go deeper and see the mind-boggling truth behind these medical crimes.

In recent articles, I've revealed a smoking sizzling gun located on the FDA's own web site.

Google
"FDA Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions" and you'll find the page.
The FDA is completely aware their approved medical drugs are killing
100,000 Americans a year. THAT'S what's on that page.

How can all those dangerous drugs the FDA certifies as safe move through the pipeline of approval and get to the public?

Yes,
we all know that some doctors who sit on FDA panels have financial ties
to the very companies whose drugs they are okaying. But the story goes
much further than that.

Drug companies run clinical trials of new
drugs on humans before FDA approval can occur. And those clinical
trials are written up and published in medical journals.

Now,
if 100,000 Americans are dying every year from the effects of drugs the
FDA says are safe, the FDA is looking at published studies that
are...what? The studies claim drug after drug is safe. But the drugs
kill. Paradox. Contradiction.

Conclusion? The published studies are fraudulent. Not just a few studies. Hundreds and thousands of them. The drug companies are providing studies that are outright criminal lies.

That's
what we have here. Since the FDA knows the drugs they approve as safe
are killing 100,000 Americans every year, like clockwork, the FDA ALSO
KNOWS THOUSANDS OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHED STUDIES ARE LIES. The FDA knows
that huge numbers of studies on drug
safety are faked. Faked studies are a crime. It's called fraud. And
when the fraud leads to the deaths of people taking a drug, that's a lot
worse than fraud.

The FDA knows the studies are faked, BUT THEY
DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY LET IT RIDE. That makes them an
accomplice to the ongoing crime.

In a legitimate honest courtroom, if one existed, I would present that case against the FDA every day of the week and I would win.

Should
we tread daintily when we know the federal agency responsible for drug
safety is allowing 100,000 people to die every year? This is murder.
It's not really negligent homicide, not when it keeps happening. It's
murder. It's on the order of a Nazi war crime.

Try this image:
you are a gatekeeper. Your job, on the first day of every year, is to
unlock the gate and leave it open, so people can pass through. But you
know that, when you open the gate, 100,000 people who pass through will
die in the following year. Yet, every January 1, you keep opening the
gate.

That's what the FDA is. That particular gatekeeper.

Case closed.

But there is further evidence that huge numbers of published studies
of drugs are fraudulent. We actually have statements from medical
insiders. That's right. For example, here is one, and it comes from a
devastating source, a woman who edited the most famous medical journal
in the world:

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of
the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of
trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no
pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over
my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine."
Marcia Angell, MD, "Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of corruption." NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009.

What
do doctors rely on? What do medical schools rely on? What do medical
journals and mainstream medical reporters and drug companies and the FDA
rely on?

The sanctity of published clinical trials of drugs.
These trials determine whether the drugs are safe and effective. The
drugs are tested on human volunteers. The results are tabulated. The
trials are described in papers that are printed by medical journals.

This
is science. This is rationality. This is the rock. Without these
studies, the whole field of medical research would fall apart in utter
chaos.

Upon this rock, and hence through media, the public
becomes aware of the latest breakthrough, the newest medicine. Through
doctors in their offices, the public finds out what drugs they should
take---and their doctors know because their doctors have read the
published studies in the medical journals, the studies that describe the
clinical drug trials. Or if the doctors haven't actually read the
reports, they've been told about them.

It all goes back to this rock.

And
when mainstream medical advocates attack so-called alternative or
natural health, they mention that their own sacred profession is based
on real science, on studies, on clinical trials.

One doctor told me, "The published peer-reviewed studies are what keep us from going back to the Stone Age."

He
smiled. He was confident. He was sure of himself. He had science on his
side. And he was dead wrong. The science is a sham, it's in tatters,
it's broken, crushed, smashed.

Here is more evidence. I quote an
article in the NY Review of Books (May 12, 2011) by Helen Epstein, "Flu
Warning: Beware the Drug Companies."

"Six years ago, John
Ioannidis, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Ioannina
School of Medicine in Greece, found that nearly half of published
articles in scientific journals contained findings that were false."

Here's another quote from the same article:

"Last
year, GlaxoSmithKline's diabetes drug Avandia was linked to thousands
of heart attacks, and earlier in the decade, the company's
antidepressant Paxil was discovered to exacerbate the risk of suicide in
young people. Merck's painkiller Vioxx was also linked to thousands of
heart disease deaths. In each case, the scientific literature gave
little hint of these dangers."

And here is yet another statement from Marcia Angell, former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine:

"A
review of seventy-four clinical trials of antidepressants, for example,
found that thirty-seven of thirty-eight positive studies [that praised
the drugs] were published. But of the thirty-six negative studies,
thirty-three were either not published or published in a form that
conveyed a positive outcome."

It turns out that the source of the
informational pipeline that feeds the entire perception of
pharmaceutical medicine is a rank fraud.

Doctors say: "We have
the clinical trials of studies on drugs and they are published in top
journals. We are the epitome of science."

Yes, false science. Riddled from top to bottom with lies.

Perhaps
this will help the next time a friend, pretending he actually knows
anything, tells you pharmaceutical medicine is a resounding success.

If
you need more, cite Dr. Barbara Starfield's famous study, "Is US health
really the best in the world?" (Journal of the American Medical
Association, July 26, 2000) Starfield concludes that 225,000 people are
killed by the medical system in the US every year---106,000 by
FDA-approved medicines. That latter figure works out to over a MILLION
deaths per decade.

A final note: The august editors of medical
journals have a game they can play. Suppose a drug company has just
finished writing up the results of a clinical drug trial and has
submitted the piece to a journal for publication. The editor knows the
company carried out a half-dozen other such trials on the same
drug...and they didn't look good. The drug caused wild fluctuations in
blood pressure and blood sugar. There were heart attacks. Strokes. But
this ONE study, the one submitted for publication, looks very positive.
The editor knows if he prints it and forgets about "ethics," the drug
company will order re-prints of the piece from him and distribute them
to doctors all over the world, and to reporters, professors, government
officials. The drug company will order and pay for these re-prints; the
medical journal can make $700,000 from publishing THAT ONE STUDY. In one
hand, the editor sees: I won't publish it=no money. In the other hand,
he sees: I'll publish it=$700,000. What to do?

As a reporter
investigating deep medical fraud and crime for 30 years, I've spoken to
people throughout the medical system. They all cling to the idea that
published studies are the final and ultimate rationalization for their
professional existence.

Well, the system has crashed. It's broken
up into pieces. And yet these professionals move on, as if everything
is normal. It's an illustration that consensus reality about science can
be stronger than legitimate science itself. The blinders are firmly in
place. March ahead. Pretend the truth is on your side. Salute high
ideals. Fake it all the way. While huge numbers of people die.
