Pharmaceutical Scams

in #health6 years ago

Pharmaceutical Lobby

In 2009, Lyrica - one of the members of the super-powerful and wealthy Pfizer corporation - was found guilty of counterfeiting drug information, lying and falsifying, and intentionally misleading users and bringing people into danger. The US court has decided that Pfizer and Lyrica have to pay $ 2.3 billion. Pfizer had to pay $ 1.4 billion in compensation for signing a corporate agreement with Lyric, which clearly agreed on lying and cheating people through advertising and marketing and lying to the results of scientific research that claimed their drug Pregabalin (sold under Lyrica) has no serious contraindications and negative side effects and heals what he does not actually treat. Thanks to such fake "scientific" results, the FDA - Food and Drug Administration has approved the sale of this drug in the United States.

Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant used to reduce neuropathic pain and as a supplement to partial paralysis after stroke.Pfizer has additionally hired his scientific paper on Pregabalin produced by Lyrica, which states that it can be used to treat epilepsy, post-herpes neuralgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, etc. Thanks to all this, Pfizer earned $ 3 billion in 2010.

Of Course this is only one of numerous examples of big corporations succeeding in making profit over peoples misery. A normal man would think that such a drug should be banned automatically and withdrawn from the market, but that did not happen. Becouse the influence of large pharmaceutical companies and their political lobbyists over any law or court is to big. Let us go further.

Vioxx

Vioxx was once a popular drug to treat arthritis. But manufacturer Merck & Co. pulled it from the market in 2004 amid safety concerns. Research linked the drug to thousands of fatal heart attacks.Following Merck’s voluntary market withdrawal of its second biggest money maker, the arthritis painkiller Vioxx (rofecoxib), Merck was faced with mounting lawsuits involving claims of civil liability as well as charges of potential criminal wrongdoing.

Vioxx, a pain reliever for arthritis patients, was pulled from the market in 2004. The move came after a study linked the drug to an increased risk of serious cardiovascular problems, including heart attacks and strokes. Other serious side effects associated with Vioxx use included allergic reactions, and severe kidney and liver problems.

Avandia

GlaxoSmithKline set aside $3.4 billion in 2011 to settle lawsuits over its Type 2 diabetes drug Avandia. Patients who took the drug blame the manufacturer for not disclosing that Avandia increased the risk of heart attack and cardiac death.

The Type 2 diabetes drug Avandia is known for being at the center of one of the biggest drug-safety scandals in recent history. Once a blockbuster drug, Avandia was discredited in the U.S. and all but pulled from the market after thousands of people who took the drug experienced heart problems. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) imposed restrictions on Avandia’s use but later removed them. The drug remains on the market today as a medication to help control high blood sugar.

Eli Lilly & Co

In 2009, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co. was found guilty of illicit marketing for Zyprex's antipsychotics, the same company paid $ 1.42 billion for fake and falsified marketing and information on its patented patented drug. 32 thousand people have sued Eli Lilly & Co because of their deteriorating mental state and physical health after taking Zyprex, although this alleged drug should have treated; schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

source

But this is not the only sin Eli Lily & Co made, this company is well known for producing the Prozac. Same company was caught trying to influece on prosecution and judiciary in order to iterrupt the courts process. This meddic coused suicide impulses and thoughts. But this is not all, Eli Lilly & Co. in 2005 paid $ 36 million in court damages for illegal and fraudulent promotion and "Evista" drug sales that allegedly treated osteoporosis. Eli Lilly & Co. also sold this drug even to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer and reducing the risk of developing heart disease although Evista did not have any positive effects on the aforementioned diseases.

We are all born as a complete, empowered beings who do not require injections, medical interventions or medicines to achive perfect healt. Our health is reduced due to various factors. Some of them are deliberately designed to endanger our healt, and some are accidental. We do not coexist with nature anymore, everything is so fucking artifitial and unreal, regardless if we are talking about the weather, food, people, relations etc.. We realy do need to re-connect with nature and live by its laws, otherwise we will destroy ourselves in a way we can't even imagine.

Big pharma runs things here in america. Good luck bypass there greedy claws on your way to better health.

holy shit you really gave yourself 18$ worth of upvote on fucking comment?

even though i must addmit, this community is fucked so i almost understand why are you doing this...

Think of it like this, I spent a large sum of money on this platform. To be greeted by bots, flag wars l, and inorganic conversation.

I also create on content that is plagerised and or goes unnoticed due to vote bots.

I also send 5x in upvotes then I receive, so if I want to recoupe my investment while steemit fixes this broken system. I feel I have every right.

your point is valid and i do agree with you on that, but on comment? hahahaha

Meh. Was tired, hd to fill my quota and had already did my giving for the day.

hahahahahahaa enjoy

Great post . Keep on exposing the evil medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Are you yourself a doctor or pharmacist? Just curious to know how you know about these drugs and their side effects etc.

Good luck 👍 with everything.

I just read a lot, appreciate your support. :)

Brilliant article. It's about time I saw more people reporting the truth. I'm a 2 and a half year brain cancer survivor thanks to keto and cannabis so I know all too well the wider implications of runaway corporatism in medicine.

Oh don't know what to say but im really glad you beat it. You should spread the word about it :)

@ocupation, I whole-heartedly agree with your closing statement. We need to restore our natural state if we want true happiness/health. How can the hubris of man (science) ever match the power of nature (God)?... I appreciate all the great information and research you've put together here. Very disturbing, plus this isn't anything new! Still people blindly trust the medical/scientific establishments... Some people have to learn the hard way, unfortunately. God bless, brother! Keep exposing the medical 'cartel'! The real drug gangs...

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

We realy do need to re-connect with nature and live by its laws, otherwise we will destroy ourselves in a way we can't even imagine.
It should be really instead of realy.

I like this would news

Very good post

Indian wisdom
When a man moves away from nature, his heart turns into a rock.
Everything on earth has its purpose,
every disease, herbs for treatment,
and every man the mission.
And they, were smarter.

I have just come across your account and am loving your posts. Great to find someone with similar views.

This is very bad and horrible experience for those who consumed those drugs. If any thing should be falsified I believe it shouldn't be drugs.
