Health Means Education

Many politicians – some of them showing off an aura of integrity – are, in fact, deeply entangled with the drug investment business. Mitt Romney is shareholder of several drug companies. The wife of his running mate Paul Ryan worked as a paid lobbyist for the drug investment business. In return for share­ holder profits, these politicians will promote the “drug business with disease” by all legal and economic means possible – including from the White House.

The Laws of the Pharmaceutical Industry

1. The pharmaceutical industry is not a health industry, but an investment business. Its primary focus is not to increase the health of the people – but the shareholder value of its owners.
2. The pharmaceutical industry is not a naturally grown industry – but an artificially created investment business launched more than a century ago by globally operating financial groups.
3. The defined market place of the pharmaceutical industry is our body – but only as long as it is sick.
4. The continuation and expansion of diseases as drug markets is the precondition for the continued growth of the pharmaceutical investment “business with disease.”
5. The key legal tools and economic instruments on which this multi-trillion dollar investment industry is built are patents. They allow the drug makers the arbitrary fixing of their own mark-ups (“royalties”) for a new drug which are a driving factor for exploding health care costs.
6. Because patents are only granted for new, synthetic molecules, the drug industry focusses its research on developing synthetically designed, patented chemicals – and markets them as prescription drugs.
7. Most of these chemical substances are unknown to the human body which considers these ‘foreign’ substances as toxins and eliminates them. Thus, the principle of patenting is ultimately responsible for the epidemic of dangerous side effects caused by prescription drugs.
8. In order not to endanger their multi-trillion dollar disease markets, the pharmaceutical companies almost exclusively develop drugs that merely ameliorate symptoms – but hardly ever correct the root cause of diseases.
9. Based on this deceptive strategy, the investment circles behind the pharmaceutical investment business have been able to portray themselves as global “purveyors of health” – while, in fact, thriving on the promotion of diseases as the basis of multi-trillion dollar drug markets.
10. Thus, by its very nature – the pharmaceutical business model is a giant fraud: It promises health to the people and the governments of the world but its entire existence depends on the continuation of the “business with disease”.
11. This principle is the reason why today’s most common diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer continue in epidemic proportions.
12. To disguise the deceptive nature of the pharmaceutical business the drug companies maintain an army of lobbyists in medicine, media and politics. Their role is to portray the pharmaceutical industry as “Mother Theresa” – as a precondition to be able to channel hundreds of billions in public and private “health care” funds to continue financing the “business with disease”.
13. The human and economic consequences of the “business with disease” have been devastating. Over the past century, hundreds of millions of people have died prematurely from cardiovascular disease and other health conditions and trillions in health care costs have been spent for diseases that may have been largely preventable.
14. The biggest threat to this giant investment business thriving on maintaining diseases as markets are health care strategies that aim at the prevention and elimination of these diseases. Any preventive health approach is being heavily fought by drug lobbyists because it threatens to diminish or extinguish their global markets – i.e. diseases.
15. In few other fields of medicine has more progress been made in recent years than in the field of science based natural health. Micronutrients and other biological molecules have been shown to be highly effective in helping to control cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis and many other health conditions. This development threatens the drug companies in multiple ways: First, these biological molecules are – unlike high-priced drugs – not patentable and yield much lower profit margins. Secondly, due to their biological nature, these molecules are helping to regulate the metabolism of cells, and – unlike synthetic drugs – help prevent diseases at their cellular root. Thirdly, science-based natural health approaches threaten the global monopoly of patented drugs that the drug industry wants to impose on the United States and other countries.
16. To thwart any threat to the pharmaceutical investment industry, the drug companies heavily “invest” in politicians who – in return – protectionist legislation and regulations allowing the deceptive “business with disease” to continue – despite its devastating consequences.
17. This factual analysis of the nature of the ‘pharmaceutical investment “business with disease” is a precondition for understanding the very core of the current health care crisis. Without this analysis we will not understand why most of today’s diseases continue in epidemic proportions and why – at the same time – public and private budgets are being drained to finance this unscrupulous “business with disease.”
18. Most importantly, without this analysis – and without understanding the essence of what is wrong – the people of the United States and beyond will not be able to create a new, effective, safe and affordable health care – with a clear focus on the prevention and elimination of diseases.

The above “Laws” of the drug industry are so evident that they can be understood by fourteen year old school children. Even though the health and the future of these children will be directly affected by these “Laws” – they can not yet vote for change. You, the parents and teachers, should take responsibility.
