CORPORRUPTION

(Some of the facts in this article are from RETHINKING STATINS by Melissa Healy...LA TIMES HEALTH SECTION AUGUST 9 2010)

I'm certain that I've never heard anyone use the term CORPORRUPTION so I'm officially claiming it as my own invention.....until some dweeb comes along and points out that Timothy Leary used it 40 years ago.

It also appears that there are numerous situations that could be the poster child for the word but today I think the multi-national pharmaceuticals shall take center stage.

There's an article in today's LA TIMES that is repeating what my friend, Dr. Francis J. Conlan, has been saying for years.

STATINS, disguised under names like LIPITOR, MEVACOR,ZOCOR, CRESTOR and PRAVACHOL, are used by more than 24 million people in the United States and for all practical purposes are forms of....poison.

The prescribers and manufacturers of these drugs tell us that they help prevent heart attacks and strokes.

THE CORPORRUTION INVOLVED RESULTS IN $26 BILLION A YEAR WORTH OF BUSINESS.

DOCTORS ARE PRESCRIBING STATINS AND GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY RECEIVE IN KICKBACKS FROM THE MANUFACTURES.

THE WORD
KICKBACK
IS EXACTLY THE RIGHT WORD TO USE
EVEN THOUGH THE PAYOFFS ARE PROBABLY EXTREMELY SOPHISTICATED
ie....stocks options or time shares or whatever.

The level of CORPORRUPTION in this instance is astronomical when you consider that in 2009 there were 201.4 million prescriptions written for Statins.

I've had a personal experiece regarding this matter:

I was in the hospital awhile back because of my rapid heart rate and when I checked out one of the prescriptions was for Lipitor. It was never mentioned while in the hospital, and when I checked with my regular MD as to why they told me to take Lipitor he didn't have an answer and simply told me not to take it because I didn't have high cholesterol.

"An add-on prescription just for the fun of it"

THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF

CORPORRUTION

Imagine how many prescriptions are written for people when they leave a hospital. Basically no one is going to question what they are prescribing....because the hospital have just taken care of us.......and we.........trust them.

TRUST MIGHT BE THE OPTIMUM WORD BEHIND THE PROLIFERATION OF
CORPORRUPTION.

We trust that the oil companies would never lie to us about the reasons oil is so expensive.

We trust that the government would never lie to us about the reasons we are involved in military actions on foreign soil.

We trust that a Studio would never lie to us regarding how much profit was made on a project.

We trust that our wife or husband would never mess around with the secretary or the neighbor.

We trust that pharmaceutical companies would never lie to us about the side affects.

We trust that the FDA and multi-national pharmaceutical companies would never be co-conspirators in a massive campaign to dupe the consumer.

OUR TRUST GENERALLY RESULTS IN BILLIONS AND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS PROFIT FOR EXTREMELY LARGE COMPANIES....BETTER KNOWN AS

CORPORRUTIONS.

I THINK EXAMPLES OF CORPORRUPTION ARE MUCH TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION IN ONE ARTICLE, SO LET'S JUST DIGEST THE STATIN SITUATION AND LET THE OTHERS REST FOR A DAY OR TWO.
