Friends,
This article has a personal importance to me. Just today, I heard
a talk radio show with an attorney as a guest discussing the
lawsuits against drug companies. According to this attorney,
tens of thousands of Americans die each year due to "side
effects" of different drugs. And, this is at a time when the
government is banning "natural" relief to Americans.
Just this last weekend, I read about a blend of natural herbs
that reduces advanced cases of prostate cancer. And, it is
the only thing doctors have to offer today. Doctors don't know
why, but these herbs are effective in over 80% of these
cases when all else fails.
This was brought to my attention because I'm developing a
web site for a health food store who is fighting the government
propaganda which is the subject of this article.
By the way, not only do I design web sites, but I am now
an ISP. I can now offer very reasonable web hosting rates as
well as multiple e-mail accounts.
Anyway, my concern is that Americans will not much longer
have the choice of their health care. In the future, it will all be
controlled by government. So, I must ask, do you trust government
with your health care decisions?

It has come to light that the FDA and the Pharmaceutical Advertising Counsel
("PAC"), which represents some 35 major drug companies, have formed and
co-funded a corporation under a joint letterhead, calling itself the National
Council Against Health Fraud ("NCAHF"). Under this questionable aegis,
William Jarvis, MD, and Stephen Barrett, MD, and others, are paid to publicly
discredit as unscientific or unknown any or all viable herbs, vitamins,
homeopathic remedies or non-allopathic therapies, particularly those that are
proven to have the most promise and present the greatest threat to the PAC
members.
The FDA regularly approves dangerous, often lethal pharmaceuticals. Most of
the time, the side effects of these drugs can only be fully discovered by
wide-spread use. This is despite the average $250-500,000,000 and 15 years to
bring these drugs to market, including phase trial tests, trying to prove the
elusive "efficacy" requirement of the F.D.&C. Act.
Typically, after one of these highly publicized "wonder" drugs fails, causes
death or serious side effects, no FDA official nor PAC member company
president, research assistant, corporate official, company doctor nor testing
lab will be subjected to raid, investigation, indictment or jail term as
often happens to "alternative" practitioners.
Chemotherapy and radiation, though known to be a total failure in the
so-called war against cancer, remain as the only therapies which enjoy
federal mandate. These therapies are repeatedly reintroduced as new, or new
approaches, promising that sometime in the unknowable future, maybe we will
have a cure for cancer. Yet the so-called alternative healing arts are
consistently accused of offering false hope.
The current and long-standing 3% long-term survival rate of cancer patients
using orthodox therapies remains abysmal and the statistical reportage is
obfuscated. Refer to : New England Journal of Medicine, "Progress Against
Cancer," May 8, 1986 by John C. Bailar, III and Elaine M. Smith, and a
ten-year follow-up "The War on Cancer" which appeared in Lancet, May 18th,
1996, by Michael B. Spoorn.
In HEALTH UNITED STATES, an annual publication by the federal government, our
national death rate from cancer is approximately 2,500,000 people per year
and the rate is rising. In addition to the trauma and suffering to the
patients and their families and the productive work force, it comes with a
hefty price tag. Assuming a cost of $80,000 to $160,000 per person over the
last 20 years, that figure represents $200,000,000 to $370,000,000 per year
and 50,000,000 lives, or $4 TRILLION to $7.5 TRILLION dollars funneled from
our collective economy into the hands of the medical/pharmaceutical cartel.
Is it any wonder, then, why we cannot find a cure?

It is increasingly apparent that we have surrendered many of our fundamental
Rights and have become subservient to a "legislative democracy" which usurps
the legitimate sovereignty of the people and abrogates it to itself. The
power structure designed by our founders as a Republican form of government,
where the power descends from GOD to WE the People, from the people to the
county, from the county to the state and from the state to Congress, not the
other way around. By our tacit complacence, it has surreptitiously created
the coast to coast "federal zone" where WE have become its federal citizens.
Refer to: LOST RIGHTS, by James Bovard for a shocking look at the rights we
have surrendered.
