If you haven't had the opportunity to watch the documentary "Prescription for Disaster" yet, I urge you to study Gary Null's important investigation into the many "play-for-pay" relationships that exist between lawmakers, lobbyists, medical schools and the FDA.
These "sweet deals" constantly serve to harm your health, while keeping the coffers of drug companies flush with cash.
This film documents the problems with a health care system that supports the many and frequent scams evil marketing geniuses employed by drug companies foist on an unknowing public every day.
In this 92-minute documentary, you'll hear from experts like FDA scientist Dr. David Graham, who strongly believes nothing has fundamentally changed since the Vioxx debacle more than two years ago. I was also fortunate enough to be featured in the video.
Why do drug companies and conventional medicine work so hard to fight against safer, effective alternatives that don't involve needless drugs and procedures that are, more often than not, harmful and fatal? The flow of marketing cash filling the pockets of your doctor and hospital to prescribe these horrible potions might end, for starters ...
This is an important message you can share with your friends and loved ones.
If you want to watch "Prescription for Disaster" on your TV rather than a small screen on your computer, the DVD is available in my Web store
On Vital Votes, Dr. Herbert Schraw of Toledo, Ohio, adds:
"Everyone should watch this video. People really believe that the FDA is there to protect the public and the drug companies function in some benevolent altruistic mode of just helping the sick get well. Drug companies are concerned with the bottom line and the FDA is heavily pressured by the manufacturers to approve the product. The simple fact is that is a recipe for corruption and graft. "The worrisome aspect is that the mainstream media continuously ignores the problems with drugs and their fatal potential. The media reports about the 'miracles' of medicine every day in their broadcasts but rarely if ever reports regularly about their dangers and adverse reactions. "If the media kept a body count of the deaths attributed to medicine the way they track the casualties of the Iraq war maybe people would finally wake up to the potential risks of one of America's leading causes of death ... medical care."
