Why You'll Want to Avoid Bayer Products

This disturbing video titled “I Think Bayer Corporation is a Very Bad Company” reveals many of the underhanded dealings going on at Bayer Corporation.

It may surprise you that Bayer has genetically polluted the crops of Australian farmers. You may be shocked to find that Bayer generates 2.4 million pounds of hazardous waste annually.

But you will be in furious disbelief when you hear the rest of the deadly secrets, detailed in this video, that Bayer has been keeping quiet.






Dr. Mercola Dr. Mercola's Comments:
Bayer Corporation is widely known for their painkillers, aspirin and Aleve, but they also manufacture over 80 other brands of drugs, along with chemicals and pesticides.

I’ve revealed some of the many skeletons in their closet in the past -- including their numerous drug-related lawsuits and intentional selling of AIDS-infected drugs in Europe and Asia.

This is a company that has killed children by giving them HIV-infected drugs, put their workers’ lives in danger by exposing them to toxic chemicals that cause organ damage, and continues to produce unsafe products.

Even a quick search of the ingredients in their Flintstone’s vitamins for children show that they contain some of the following substances (depending on variety):
  • Artificial flavors and three different types of food dye
  • Glucose syrup
  • Gelatin and modified starch (which both typically contain MSG)
  • The neurotoxin aspartame
  • Hydrogenated oils
I suspect that if you watched the video, you’ll want to avoid all of Bayer’s products from now on.

But the deeper take-home message here is that these moral assaults, and health-harming practices are not unique to Bayer; they plague almost every pharmaceutical company.

There is simply no mistaking this fact: drug companies are interested in making profits, and their interests often transcend even the most basic ethical and human safety guidelines.

It’s time to get the word out that taking drugs is not the answer to your health problems -- leading a healthy lifestyle is.

Their logo says it ALL, the cross-hairs of a rifle siting aimed at your wallet and shortened life, from their brands.

The Bayer logo says a lot.  The circle with the crosshairs represents the sun/cross combination.  This is an ancient symbol that shows what these people worship--Amon Ra, the sun god.  Christians, Jews and Muslims also worship the same thing, but don't seem to know it.

Another thing Bayer is known for is the invention of the drug heroin.  I don't believe that there are any medical uses for this drug.  It is used purely to get high and results in severe addiction.

BAYER= B aby A busers Y eilding E verlasting R esults

Seems like the FDA had yet another Quiet comment on an important issue. Don't that just burn you inside?

I don't know, but this might be the most upsetting article I have found. I don't doubt there are many more like this form the rest of the pharma-whackers.

And just to think that our highest elected person in the land would even consider accepting money from those anti-humane peasants!

As much as I despise drug companies, this sort of video does nothing at all.

The 'evidence' is flimsy, badly presented, superficial and undermines real investigative work because it is very easily dismissed or dealt with.

If anyone is going to produce critical work of this nature it MUST be thorough and backed by proper detailed evidence and references.

Bayer will laugh like a drain  at this type of amateur video. Do it properly or don't bother.

If you want to get some proper information, get hold of books by Dr. Leonard Horowitz (DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral) and Martin J. Walker (Dirty Medicine).

Yes, one has to use good sense when taking any kind of pain reliever.  Yes, one has to be supportive of efforts to keep "big business" honest and within its bounds.  However, a video like this gives me a mental image of a bunch of computer geeks sitting around trying to create or spread yet another conspiracy theory, thinking how cool and smart they are.  One would need an aspirin just listening to all that guitar noise!!!

So I logged in and all of a sudden the comment button doesn't work at the top so I have to hit someone elses comment reply button to comment on this article... hmmm.

Anyway, I agree with this chap - there wasn't enough in that video to change someone's thoughts about Bayer; just a bunch of accusations mixed with some truth going all the way back to WWII.  If this whole video was something over the past year, then yeah somethings up.  But when you have to go back to WWII for a two minute video, me thinks you don't have much to complain about.

Those were mostly my thoughts too.  Besides, do we really need this kind of video to further drag big pharma companies into the dirt.  I mean, they are already as dirty as can be...and we know it!

I'm hoping Michael Moore's next movie will be about the drug companies.  That would undoubtedly be one of the most explosive topics he could deal with.  Even more so than a movie about the petroleum industry.

It's all about the almighty dollar good folks...
We are merely a handful of people who are trying to push the word on the street to boycott these evil manipulators. We need more from the top, and i believe shortly we'll start seeing more and more health gurus coming together as one to "spread the word"...

Until then keep on doing what you think and know is right and try to touch as many as possible. My motto is to "do the very best i can with whatever little i have", so everyone keep on keeping on, sooner they will fall and as the saying goes the higher they go the harder they fall.....

Better days ahead.....

Bayer company goes way back to Hitler times.  They were and still are, part of a society of mass murderers.  They receive slaps on the wrist and continue to infringe their evil upon us. 

I am a tiny dot on this earth of ours, and want to help distroy this society, but, if millions of people do not speak out, and phyically do something to put a stop to this mass murdering, we will all wake up one morning with guns to our heads.

In each corner of each state in our USA, they have awaiting for all of us, death camps.  They will experiment, use and abuse, and murder millions of us, if this is not stopped today.  I kid you not.

Read and weep, then lets really help to stop this massacure before it is to late.

Before we weep for children infected with HIV, let us remember that there is no established test for HIV (read the disclaimer on a test kit some time). Did you know that a study found some 47% of healthy dogs "HIV positive"? That a survey of 90,000 hospital patients found 25% of males and 8% of females to be HIV positive? Some researchers claim HIV has never been isolated and that there is no proof that it exists much less causes AIDS and that the so-called electron-micrographs of HIV only show regular cell debris.

This page links to some excellent interviews and research papers:

www.virusmyth.net/.../perthgroup

The genesis of the current dogma was a comedy of errors involving dunce Luc Montagnier's invention of LAV based on a few days of "research" (borrowing) in the beleaguered Pasteur Institute; after a practical joke, charlatan Gallo of the corrupt NIH borrowed LAV and announced it as HIV, the "probable" cause of AIDS.

Gary Null has put out a video that gives an orientation:

"Deconstructing the Myth of AIDS"

Yes! Check out what Nobel laureate Kary Mullis thinks. By the way, his book is a great read if anyone gets a chance.

Funny that I came across this article today.  There was an advertisement on TV proclaiming "the wonders of Bayer" with Ty Pennington as the spokesman.  It encouraged viewers to check them out on-line @ Wonderdrug.com .  With morbid curiousity, I looked it up.  They are making claims that in the future this simple aspirin will cure "certain"cancers and altzheimers , the aspirin regimen to prevent heart disease, and the aspirin cure to all pain. 
The worst part is that because they have been in business for so long, many people have come to trust them with blind faith.  I know so many who insist that is all they keep in their medicine cabinets.  You can only help those who want it in the first place.

Everybody needs to see "The Constant Gardener", this is true folks...it's about Bayer, Fizer, Eli Lilly and all those other big pharmeceutical companies poisoning people, especially those who really cannot fight back in the third world...HOWEVER, there is real Western Medicine that does help people from things like Malaria and dysentary, BUT if people in the third world were educated (especially about hygiene, we would not need these drugs).

If Bayer does all this why do people still purchase their products?  Is there a list of all their products so I can make sure I avoid them all.
