The pharmaceutical industry creates and maintains chronic diseases in pursuit of unholy profits—at the expense of patients’ health. From the government’s alphabet soup agencies—HHS, FDA, CDC, NIH—to our institutions of higher learning; from charitable advocates, like the American Diabetes Association, to the powerful American Medical Association; from the media to our politicians—all are inextricably intertwined and dancing to a tune choreographed by a higher power: Big Pharma.
Diabetes is only one shining example of the pharmaceutical industry’s criminal pursuit of profits. Patients’ health, patients’ lives, patients’ freedom—all are fair game in the quest for limitless wealth and unbridled power.
The medical industry has allowed the encroachment by Big Pharma and their lobby into our lives. Direct-to-consumer advertising now supplants doctor-patient cooperation. Pharma PR is thrown at the media in the guise of "news." Pharmaceutical sales reps now supply more "education" to physicians than CME courses.
In other words, Big Pharma has climbed to the top of the totem pole; medical professionals stubbornly cling to their subordinate position; and the poor patient (pun intended) supports the entire structure. Do I need to tell you that the support is vulnerable and under attack? Whether it can remain viable is, or should be, a question of great concern.
