The
plot of this story seems to be ripped from the
headlines ... or maybe a movie about a big
conspiracy or a cover-up of foul play
... just like the Oscar award-winning "The
Insider."
But the story is 100% true.
In 2003, a top executive of the pharmaceutical giant
Glaxo-SmithKline -- worldwide Vice President of
genetics -- confessed that
"The
vast majority of drugs -- more than 90% -- only work
in 30 to 50% of the people."
What that means is ... most prescription
drugs DON'T work on most people who take
them!
Dr. Allen Roses is the pharmaceutical industry insider
who made this shocking confession.
Although it's been an open secret within
the pharmaceutical industry that most of the drugs
it produces are ineffective in most patients, this
is the first time that a high-ranking pharmaceutical
executive has gone public.
Some industry analysts said that the confession of Dr.
Roses is reminiscent of the famous words uttered by
Gerald Ratner, a British retail magnate in 1991, who
said that his high-street shops are successful
because they sell "total crap."
But it's one thing for a company to sell worthless
products ... and it's another thing altogether
to sell worthless products that kill
instead of heal.
FACT:
In the U.S., the odds of being killed by
conventional medicine are almost
20 times (2,000%) greater than being
killed in an automobile accident
and almost 30 times
(3,000%) greater than being killed by a
gun.

It's no wonder that the majority of doctors are
frustrated. They entered the medical
profession wanting to cure people --- but the
only tools that medical school training provides
them for treating patients are ... drugs
and surgery.
Doctors have been thrust headlong into a marketing
culture that relies on selling as many drugs as
possible to the widest number of patients.
It's a culture that has made Big Pharma the most
profitable industry in the world -- even though most
of its drugs are useless, at best -- and even
possibly harmful or deadly for many patients.
Dr. Roses, an academic geneticist from Duke University
in North Carolina, further states: "Drugs for
Alzheimer's disease work in fewer than
one in three patients, whereas
those for cancer are only effective in a
quarter of patients. Drugs for
migraines, for osteoporosis, and arthritis work
in about half the patients."
The growing sentiment among doctors is that they want
to offer their patients more treatment choices
for curing disease than the medical system offers.
One member of that growing number of doctors is Dr.
Paul Beals.
"I
want to do more for my patients than
what's offered by the pharmaceutical
industry because I realized earlier on
that modern medicine has become,
unfortunately, more of a big business
than a healing science." --

Medicine)
