Big Pharma . . . drugs, drugs, and more drugs.
While being under the thumb of Big Pharma, pretty soon we won’t even have to eat food anymore. Well that’s not true; Big Pharma and Monsanto depend on each other.
What has become a particularly interesting observation of Big Pharma in regards to my War on Gout, 95% of all the gout information out there talks about high levels of uric acid and high purine foods and too much alcohol being the cause of Gout.
If you’ve read some of my other posts and articles, I’ve talked a lot about how focusing on hyperuricemia (too much uric acid in the blood) is very short-sighted; taking into consideration the overall acidic pH of the body chemistry, or Acidosis, is a better way to approach gout.
Big Pharma doesn’t want to “cure” people . . . they would be out of business.
Listen to what Gwen Olsen, an ex-pharmaceutical sales rep, has to say about Big Pharma . . .
However, Big Pharma would like us to go on thinking it’s just about high uric acid.
Drugs like Allopurinol, Krystexxa, and Uloric all work to inhibit, restrict or mitigate the production of uric acid in one way or another. If we were really making too much, and a few people do, this would be great. But we don’t. We don’t excrete enough uric acid. But since these toxic and acidifying drugs limit the production, Big Pharma is happy. After all “gout drugs” is a billion dollar industry.
Is Big Pharma and Industrial Agriculture the same thing?
Here’s what it looks like to me; Industrial Agriculture and all of it’s pesticides and GMO Foods seem to be making us sick. Perfect! . . . for Big Pharma. As Bill Maher says; “there’s no money in healthy people, and there’s no money in dead people, the money is in the middle . . .
What Are Your Thoughts On Big Pharma?

I think we always have to be vigilant with eyes wide open about what we choose to believe when it comes to the advice of others. We are a very, what I like to call, VIDEO society. Our society is putting more and more trust into what is fed to us through the television and quick promotional video clips to get us to buy a product. When a doctor says you’re going to be on this drug for life for example that is a very powerful statement to the majority of people visiting the doctor. I could go on but that is the gist of what this video triggers in my mind.
That’s why I try my best to keep this in mind when I talk to people about my products. There is a certain responsibility and code of ethics that a professional must adopt when consulting with those in need of advice.

Thanks Arlie – yes . . . we are so programmed and conditioned these days – and it’s getting stronger everyday. More and more we need to be careful about what we consume due to the power that the pharmaceutical companies have. While I don’t want to be totally down on western medicine, my viewpoint is that the order of utilization is out of order; these powerful synthetic drugs should not be the first thing we reach for. In extreme cases, they are useful but their convenience is causing us to become a dumb and lazy society. Thanks for jumping in. Bert
