Dirty Politics - How it Shapes Health Decisions
 

A Dirty Politician - Hiding the FactsThere's nothing more disgusting than people who make money from the uneducated public. These villains are just as dangerous as criminals who KILL people. Don't take it lightly. People do actually die in the hands of others who are out for money, power and greed.

Who might you ask? Psychiatrists, drug companies and government officials, that's who. Just read further for the gory details. If you want to help change the face of health care today, you can help by becoming active. That means writing your senators and congressmen, that means becoming active in your community with a trusted health care provider who also cares.

It's your future and your children's future. You CAN do something about it, but you actually have to DO something, rather than to think it will happen on it's own.

Perhaps these articles will catapulte you into action.

Retail prescription drug spending in the US increased for the fifth straight year in 2000, primarily reflecting higher sales of a relatively small number of drugs.

  Medical Monopoly: Protecting Consumers Or Limiting Competition?
Any serious reform of the U.S. health care system must address the medical monopoly. Barriers to entry into the health care marketplace are partially responsible for high costs and lack of access to primary and preventive care.

  Hormone Replacement Therapy - The Risks
As physicians, the drug industry and the media continue to convince women that the benefits of ingesting hormones outweigh any potential risk, the use of HRT steadily rises. During the period from 1982 to 1992, the use of hormone therapy in the U.S. more than doubled and today about a third of women aged 45 to 65 rely on it.  Such widespread promotion of this treatment implies that credible science has proven it safe and effective, but unfortunately this is not so.

  Unnecessary Procedures
If you're going to have tests, what tests are really necessary? As you'll find when you read the following excerpts, many medical tests shouldn't really be "standard" at all. They cost the consumer billions of extra expense.

  Medical Errors & Adverse Drug Reactions
Medical errors have been estimated to kill 48,000-98,000 Americans each year, and to injure an additional 1 million. These data, however, are likely to significantly underestimate the real extent of the problem, since they only refer to hospital patients, and are not inclusive of errors occurring in nursing homes and other health care settings.

  The High Cost of Medical Care
Hospitals are not a safe place to go and they have high unnecessary costs associated with them. Did you know that in 1995, the U.S. spent $13.9 billion for the treatment of insomnia?

  The Politics of Health
Every year the pharmaceutical industry spends over 12 billion dollars to push drugs, and invests an estimated $8,000 to $13,000 on each U.S. physician. While 85% of medical students judge as unethical for politicians to accept gifts, only 46% of them believe it is improper to accept a gift of similar value themselves from a pharmaceutical company.

  FDA Attempts to Destroy Books on Natural Sweetener
You can be sure that when a government agency attacks a product, a person or company, they have something that's going to dig into the pocketbook of some special interest group. They tried here...

  How the Media Deceives You About Health Issues
Turn off your TV and don't read the news. Or, if you do, just turn the 'facts' that are being reported around 180 degress and you'll have the truth.

  The Politics of Sugar - A Bitter Expose on the Money Hungry Sugar Industry
Every time an American bites into an ice cream cone, candy bar, or cookie, spoons sugar into a bowl of cereal, or tosses a five-pound bag of the stuff into a shopping cart, a very small group of sugar farmers collects propped-up profits, thanks to a U.S. government price-support program.

  Why We Are Not Healthy
At the beginning of the twentieth century, heart disease was almost unknown. Now heart disease is rampant, and the medical establishment is telling us that fat is the cause. If we would only cut our fat intake, our health would return, they say. However, fat intake in 1900 was greater than it is now. Where was heart disease then? Find out what's wrong with this picture.

  Why Chlorine is Dangerous to Your Health
The sobering fact is that in most cases science isn’t even close to understanding the potential short-term and long-term impact of chlorine-based chemicals on the body and environment. There are hundreds of them. And science isn’t even close to understanding what levels of these chemicals can cause damage. SCARY!

  The Dangers of Hydrogenated Fats
Why not consume partially hydrogenated fats or oils? Because by the definition of "poison," partially hydrogenated fats and oils are poisons. Dorland's Medical Dictionary defines "poison" as "any substance which, when relatively small amounts are ingested ... has chemical action that may cause damage to structure or disturbance of function, producing symptomatology, illness, or death."

  MSG - Dangers & Deceptions
MSG is a food additive that enhances flavors in food. It virtually has no flavor of its own, but neurologically causes people to experience a more intense flavor from the foods that they eat containing the substance. To millions of consumers, it means experiencing an adverse effect from the additive and possible adverse health effects in the future. To the food industry, it means increased profits, a simple way to balance taste in a product line and mask unwanted tastes, and to make otherwise unpalatable foods acceptable.

  FDA Seeks To Destroy Alternative Health Web Sites
The FDA's history is one of incompetence, fraud, deceit and the continuous striving for more power. Over the past 25 years, the Food and Drug Administration has sought to gain authoritarian control that Congress never intended it to have. In every attempt to seize this kind of power, the FDA has been beaten back by a swell of public protest.

  Ritalin on the Ropes
Ritalin is classified in the second-highest category of addictive and controlled substances by the U.S. and other federal governments. Psychiatry's problems are just starting. You see, once government appropriations are taken from them along with insurance money, they will cease to exist. They are the hidden cause for the decay of society today. Want to read a few sobering facts about this "profession"? Read it!

  How Drug Companies Take Your Money
More than half of the experts hired to advise the government on the safety and effectiveness of medicine have financial relationships with the pharmaceutical companies that will be helped or hurt by their decisions, a USA TODAY study found.

  Fifty Years Of Fluoridation - Celebration Or Shame?
You've been duped! Flouride INCREASES dental caries (cavities). There are money interests involved in convincing you that you need fluoride in your water and toothpaste.

  Why Chlorine is Dangerous to Your Health
If you haven't shifted over to bottled or filtered water yet, what is stopping you? Perhaps this will convice you?....

  Water Fluoridation and fluoride in your food can harm you
The California Board of Dental Examiners, in response to an anonymous complaint, denied continuing education credits for any dental personnel or dentists attending this symposium on the grounds that this course, Drinking Water Fluoridation and Ingested Fluoride--Risk Assessment "...appears to be in the domain of public health and not enhancing the licentiates ability in the delivery of dental services."  Hmm... I wonder what's up here?

  Why You Should Avoid Soy
If you eat soy or soy based products, think again! Sally Fallon & Mary G. Enig, Ph.D. expose the false premise that soy is good for your health. 16 separate articles documenting why you shouldn't be eating this stuff!

  Tales of the Nutrasweet (Aspartame) Scandal
The FDA has received more than 10,000 consumer complaints on Nutra-Sweet. That's 80% of all complaints about food additives, yet they have done nothing to alert the American consumer who assumes, since it's so highly advertised, that it must be safe as mother's milk. If you are using aspartame and have headaches, depression, slurred speech. loss of memory, fibromyalgia type symptoms, loss of sensation in lower legs or shooting pains, loss of equilibrium, vertigo, anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue, vision loss, floaters, retinal detachment, seizures, heart palpitations, etc., you have Aspartame Disease! Many physicians are diagnosing multiple sclerosis when in reality it is methanol toxicity which mimics MS. Get off this dangerous drug right away. MS is not a death sentence, but methanol toxicity can be!

  The EPA's Deadly Delaying Tactics
In a bizarre new testing program, Al Gore and the EPA want to use animal tests to guess how much of a toxin children should be able to tolerate. Called the Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP; originally called the Child Health Testing Program), if a chemical dose doesn't kill rats or make them sick, the EPA says it's fine for your children to swallow it, too.

  The Politics of Food - Who Benefits?
When a person has the wrong information and acts and lives with that information, we call that false data. It can be catastrophic.

Take this example. Let's say that you've been told that eating large amounts of Crisco™ (lard) over a long period of time will help your sex life. Without examining this data, you start cooking everything with Crisco™; your eggs, all of your bread, etc. You even butter your toast with Crisco™! After all, who wouldn't want a better sex life?

  Antibiotics- Sensible Use or Abuse?
The period once euphemistically called the “Age of the Miracle Drugs” is now dead. And the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is leading us to one of the most frightening eras in recent memory. That is, the return of infectious diseases for which there is no effective treatment.

  What is Mad Cow Disease?
In 1985, cows in Britain began to die of a mysterious ailment that no one had ever seen before. The symptoms were strange. At first the cows staggered and drooled, their ears twitching. Then they began to show signs of fear, grinding their teeth, acting aggressively toward other animals. Soon they died. Farmers named the condition "mad cow disease" and the name stuck.

  The Cholesterol Myths - Astonishing and Scary Facts
Have you been totally confused by medical propaganda? Don't feel bad.
