"In my opinion, the FDA has
let the American
people down, and sadly, betrayed a public trust." - David J. Graham
"People think the FDA is protecting them. It is
not. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as
different as night and
day." - Dr Herbert Ley, FDA commissioner, testimony before the US
Senate 1975 General Accounting
Office (GAO) study of the FDA reveals that 150 FDA officials own stock in the
companies they are supposed to regulate.
"The country is pacified by
a blind belief that the drugs being
prescribed to them have been proven safe because our government health agencies
have our physical health and well-being in their best intentions.
This
is a lie, an extraordinarily deadly lie." - General Accounting
Office
1987 FDA approves Prozac®. Sales total
more than $21 billion.
1997 Bill Clinton signs
the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act.
"The 1997
Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act, for instance, was a
giant giveaway to the pharmaceutical industry.
Among other things, it
required the agency to lower standards for approving drugs including comparing
drugs only with placebos.
Drugdex, an industry sponsored
association, decides which off-label uses of will still be reimbursed by
Medicaid." - Marcia Angell, The Truth
About The Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us And What To Do About
It
2004 Iatrogenesis,
medically induced injury and death, becomes the number one cause of death in
America.
A major cause of death is overmedication of Americans of all
ages.
Only a very small percentage of these deaths are ever reported.
"My research and efforts within FDA led to the
withdrawal from the US market of Omniflox, an
antibiotic that
caused hemolytic anemia;
Rezulin, a
diabetes drug that causes
acute liver
failure;
Fen-Phen and Redux, weight loss drugs that cause heart valve
injury;
and PPA (phenylpropanolamine),
an over-the-counter decongestant and weight loss product that causes
hemorrhagic
stroke in young women.
My research also led to
the withdrawal from outpatient use of Trovan, an antibiotic that caused
acute liver failure and
death.
I also contributed to the team effort that
led to the withdrawal of Lotronex, a drug for irritable bowel syndrome that
causes ischemic colitis; Baycol®, a
cholesterol-lowering drug that caused severe muscle injury,
kidney failure and
death;
Seldane, an antihistamine that caused heart arrhythmias and
death; and Propulsid, a drug for night-time
heartburn that caused heart arrythmias and
death.
I have done extensive
work concerning the issue of pregnancy exposure to Accutane, a drug that is
used to treat acne but can cause birth defects in some children who
are exposed in-utero if their mothers take the drug during the first trimester.
We are faced with what may be the single greatest drug safety
catastrophe in the history of this country or the history of the world.
We are talking about a catastrophe that I strongly believe could have
and should have been largely or completely avoided.
The FDA has
let the American
people down, and sadly, betrayed a public trust."
- David J. Graham, M.D., M.P.H., Associate Director for Science and
Medicine in the FDA Office
of Drug Safety, testimony before the US Senate 11/18/2004
2005 "The pharmaceutical industrial complex is perhaps the
largest, most influential cartel in the world.
Our analysis of 724
legal settlements from a random sampling among the over one hundred thousand
settlements by pharmaceutical corporations totals $87 billion - just a small
indication about how pervasive PHRMA criminality is as the vast majority of
settlements are concluded outside of court and remain confidential.
US
regulatory agencies are an extension of corporate America.
To clean up
American medicine, the corporate shield must be removed and politicians, health
officials and pharmaceutical executives must be held accountable.
If
they are threatened with jail time for manslaughter by pushing dangerous drugs,
then we will see less life-threatening drugs go to market. " - Dr. Doug
Henderson and Dr. Gary Null
2008 Three-quarters of the
clinical
studies published in the three most respected medical journals, the New
England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical
Association and the Lancet, are commercially funded.
PHRMA
funding has left the FDA a captive of PHRMA. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality
and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel
through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the
human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate
religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their philosophical
ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes,
has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
