America is already the most drugged country on the planet -- counting both so-called legitimate medical drugs and street drugs!
The rate of growth of drug use -- this epidemic -- is high, the end is NOT in sight!
What got me started on this research project was an article in the Wall Street Journal article. This article reports on the greatly increasing risk of heart disease and death in China, related to a great increase in the number of Chinese with the risk factor of "high cholesterol."
Here is a quote from that article:
The new reports also point to a significant opportunity -- and challenge -- for the global pharmaceutical industry, which sells a variety of medicines to help patients manage hypertension, cholesterol and diabetes. Indeed, Pfizer Inc., which markets Lipitor, a cholesterol remedy, and Norvasc, for high blood pressure -- each the top-selling drug in its category -- provided funding for the survey. A Pfizer spokesman says the company's principle goal for now is to "increase awareness" among treating physicians in China of the extent of the emerging cardiovascular disease problem. (source)
Thus, the foxes are guarding the hen-house!
When I had read just a few paragraphs of this story I knew that I was looking at the long-range marketing efforts for the Lipitor people -- the sales of cholesterol-lowering drugs have reached about $10 billion per year in the US. While that market will undoubtedly grow, it cannot continue to grow with the same double-digit rate of the past. Any company, even those with JUST a profit motive, would be looking into the long-range future, looking for ways to open up new markets -- markets that might not "mature" for another decade or so. When you couple the normal free enterprise motivation for profit with the further purpose of "drugging the planet" you can see even more why the Lipitor people, the Trolls, would be so eager to spread the drug culture into a place like China. This Wall Street Journal article will be one of the many pieces of evidence collected to support a major article by me, Karl Loren, about the spreading drug culture -- world-wide!]
One of the most powerful voices for
"modernizing drug technology is the President and CEO of
Merck, the makers of Mevacor,
the billion-dollar
cholesterol-lowering drug. Mr. Raymond Gilmartin, on
November 29, 1994, said: "To us,
disease management means treating diseases more
effectively primarily by using pharmaceuticals more
effectively." This was in a speech to the New
York
Society of Securities Analysis. The Associated Press
article that quoted Mr. Gilmartin said: "The
disease management concept is getting increased
discussion in drug industry circles as manufacturers seek
ways to keep profits growing in an era when insurance
companies and health care plans are demanding lower
costs." Even though that quote is eight years
old, you know that the pressures on lowering drug costs
are even higher now. When the drug will "manage" a
disease, cheaply, that will be the ideal item for
society!

Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services.
You note that the emphasis is on
"management" not cure! We don't arrive at "wellness" by
"managing" disease with drugs. And, why should anyone be
surprised that a drug company doesn't have an interest in
wellness!! This concept has become so popular in
medical circles because it relieves the individual doctor
of ever being responsible for curing the patient. A
patient with the "beginning" of an "end disease" is moved
through a chain of pre-planned health care facilities,
from the initial visit to a "primary care physician" to
the hospice where he will die in dignity! Little
would you suspect that your visit to the doctor puts you
on the track of managed care -- no doctor EVER fails
!
Every doctor MANAGES you through your path until,
finally, you arrive at the hospice where your job is to
die!
"I accuse
drug companies of preferring profits over prevention;
success over saving lives; money over morality; cunning
over cure!"
