A reader, Barbara, writes me to say: “I was in Whole Foods today and picked up a brochure titled “Healthy Heart.” Was shocked to read that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should get blood pressure screenings – starting at age 3! American medicine is truly a racket!” It’s true.

For effect, I only want to reprint the first paragraph of this article in the Wall Street Journal: A senior executive [Dr. Trevor Mundel] at the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG will join the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as president of the philanthropy’s global health group, a position that can influence the health of millions [...]

The government-medical establishment myths and scaremongering are being kept alive by the government schools that want to screen your children for mental illness and diagnose them with bogus disorders. The mainstream media is consumed by repeating these myths and cranking up the fear, and they call it “news.” Here’s a paragraph from a recent Wall Street Journal [...]

Not that this idea is anything new, but it seems to be getting some new wheels lately – adding lithium to public water supplies can/will/could/should lower suicide rates. Dr. Allan H. Young, a psychobabbler, appears to be the head pusher for happy water to save us all from our supposedly not-happy-enough selves. A short report [...]

Big Pharma giant Merck has “agreed to pay $44.3 million to settle allegations that it illegally promoted one of its drugs using kickbacks to doctors.” Federal prosecutors said the company allegedly made inappropriate payments to hundreds of doctors for prescribing its multiple sclerosis drug, Rebif, between 2002 and 2009.

This is a great video of the Weston A. Price condemnation (okay, critique) of the federal government’s fraudulent misuse of science to develop the new government dietary guidelines that continue to make people fatter and sicker. It is slightly in excess of two hours, but it is worth every minute spent away from the boob [...]

At Princeton.edu, mental illness is defined as “any disease of the mind; the psychological state of someone who has emotional or behavioral problems serious enough to require psychiatric intervention.” Intervention, of course = potent, mind-altering pharmaceuticals, and potentially, high-cost clinical treatment paid for by health insurance companies. A recent article, on CNBC of all places, [...]

For over a year, I have followed, documented, and exposed the government’s fear mongering regarding the swine flu pandemic botch. The results were predictable from the start. In June of this year, this spectacular article came and went with barely a mention ’round the Internet. Richard Gale and Gary Null wrote a very important piece, [...]

No joke – doctors are acknowledging that giving away statins, free of charge, along with that non-food known as fast food, could be a great idea. In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology, Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in cardiovascular risk offered by a statin is enough to [...]

The story on FOX was prefaced with the remark, “but it’s for the children,” of course. And the media bobbleheads really believe it. And I suppose most Americans believe all of this nonsense they are fed on a daily basis from the Pharmaceutical-Government-Corporatist complex that seeks to keep you a prisoner of its rent-seeking machinations. This story on perthnow (via [...]
