Do you believe doctors and big pharma lie to keep us sick and won't divulge the truth?

If you have cancer obtain hemp paste, food grade hydrogen peroxide, and oxygenated water and take according to the directions. Google to find out how to use them. Do you believe doctors and big pharma lie to keep us sick and won't divulge the truth?
I think big pharma does, but I don't know that I would include doctors in on the lies. Maybe the doctors are unwilling accomplices.

They are a profit driven industry. Unfortunately their profits are limited by the fact that they can only sell their products to sick people. They have been crashing though this barrier recently. Did you hear about the new study that showed that cholesterol lowering drugs were shown to prevent heart attacks in people not believed to be at risk of heart attacks? So, another opportunity for them to sell drugs to healthy people....dangerous drugs with serious side effects.

And all of those anti-depressants ....half of the people I work with are taking these. You know the anti-depressants that sometimes cause suicidal thoughts. The anti-depressants that those kids at Columbine were taking.

And let's talk about all of the money that they spend on research to develop new drugs. Most of the new drugs are just variations on the old drugs. The reason they need to develop new drugs is because the patents ran out and they don't make as much money on drugs that they don't have patents for.

I'm not saying that they don't have a right to make money like any other industry does, I'm just saying that they are absolutely out of control.

EDIT: Speaking of "cures" for cancer. How many people's lives couild have been saved if the ACS had focussed a small portion of their enormous wealth on prevention of cancer? Of course all of the big shots at ACS flying around in private jets would be out of a job if they actually found a "cure" for cancer, not to mention all the other industries making a fortune off of treating cancer.

I'm sorry that it offends you that someone has a different opinion than yours, but this is a legitimate issue for discussion. I did not just pull this information out of my beehind.
No, big pharma actually helps people by researching and developing innovative drugs which can really help people live better lives when they are sick.



If you want someone to slag off, go and slag off industries like Big Tobacco or the Alcohol industry - it is big pharma and doctors who come along and attempt to clean up the human mess left by those types of companies.Do you believe doctors and big pharma lie to keep us sick and won't divulge the truth?
Well- if you got cancer and you had the choice between conventional treatment by doctors vs hemp paste etc which would you chose ?



Now suppose you had Hodgkin's lymphoma which is curable- would you still choose hemp over doxirubicin, the doctors treatment ?



There are also plenty of medicines that don't make big bucks eh levo thyroxine for low thyroid...by your theory this sort of cheap stuff would have been withdrawn years ago.



I do believe, however, they make up the prices for the country they market their stuff in- I can give you an example. My friend, Veb in the phillipines is dying of Asthma because the pharmaceutical companies set a price too high for the medicine she needs to treat it ( I'm sending her the inhalers so don't worry..and she's doing fine now).



...there are people trying hard to find proper cures...there will be better treatments but the scale of the difficulties is enormous and because of evolution, as soon as you shut down one tumor pathway, some single cell survives through mutation and manages to evade your treatment. There are about 14 treatable cancers though. One day, no one will die.I'm sorry for your lossDo you believe doctors and big pharma lie to keep us sick and won't divulge the truth?
I'd seriously wonder what would happen to you if you seriously ate hydrogen peroxide given it's a toxic chemical that could kill you by itself and all. You obviously also seem to underestimate the pathological mechanism that triggers cancer to be made in the first place.



Our bodies are bombed by over 10,000 possible cancer causing mutations everyday, our genoma suffers severe damage in over 100,000 cells every day on average yet there's mechanisms designed in healthy cells so that the cells are either fixed or killed before they become malignant. Our genoma also has a second barrier of protection (well, it's not a protecting barrier, more like a programmed cellular suicide mechanism at goes in hand with regular aging) at the rims of each cromosome called the telomerase. These structures are chains of tons of guanide molecules that become sliced everytime a cell enters mitosis. After a certain amount of divisions, the cell finds out it can no longer safely divide itself and kills itself or programs immune system cells to kill it.



Cancer happens when there's an imbalance between celullar mutation and a failure of the immune system to kill these cells early. Genetics and certain activities (like roasting in the sun all day causing skin cancer) can predispone you to some kinds of cancers, others like some brain cancers are sporadic.



Chemotherapy acts like an atomic bomb that kills ANY cell in the body under mitosis at the time the drug has it's effect. Therefore (with some exceptions), chemo is insanely effective to cancers that multiply very quickly. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is very sensitive to the drugs.



However, what laymen people don't get is that chemo isn't the magic wand that treats cancer in early stages, it's properly done surgery. Remove a small tumor before it invades distant organs, you cure the person, easy as that.



New research is being done to create antibody drugs that attack cancer by attaching themselves to cancer antigens that are being discovered everyday. It could be the treatment of the future but because of the biological nature of the drugs, they will be very expensive.



It sounds nice in a utopic world in which drug research can be cheap and magic drugs that are better than previous ones and that the new drug is free, but research takes many years. Just lab animal and the job hour for do this kind of work, researchers aren't saints, they have families too.



New drugs become cheap when the liscense expires at a given amount of time after it's patented. Then, any company can copy the recipe and make their cheap generics. By then a drug company needs to recover the investment (which can lead to a lot of ethical problems regarding authorizing unsafe drugs or shoving the publicity down the throats of doctors hoping they will prescribe it).



Contrary what you think, many doctors don't like drug reps shoving the same drug information they learned in med school every 5 minutes. There's even gags running in med school about how newbie med students see drug reps with awe and amazement and as how a person gains more knowledge and clinical experience as an established doctor, byt the time they're the big gurus of their field, they end up humilliating the drug rep telling them about rare effects of the drug and showing they know more about the drug than what most pharmacists ever do.

I sometimes accept the drug rep goodies if they're interesting and accept the publicity for drugs I'm not familiar with, but if I see another publicity page for ambroxol (which is highly overrated and pointless anyways), I'm going to crash my head against a wall.



Many doctors are opening up to alternative medicine. Acupuncture has proven time again that it's uselful for many diseases. The problem relies in holistic medicine. Since you can't patent a plant, drug companies aren't interested in marketing plant meds unless they can isolate an active ingredient, make it 10,000 times more powerful and market that as a drug.



In fact, many common drugs used today came to be by those means (Enalapril and Digoxin have interesting stories). Doing so isn't necesairly bad. Many plants have toxic effects and isolating an active component isolates what works and avoids the toxic compounds. Using plants that are toxic can be risky because the amount of toxin can vary between different plants of the same species. Isolating highly reduces all of this.



However, since holistic medicine is sadly not taught in med school, doctors don't know much about it. Mexico is a bit different because so many people take holistic medicine along with their regular meds, you ends up picking things up.
