Prescription for Disaster - film

Learn How the Pharmaceutical Industry & the FDA are Endangering Your Health for Profit in this Highly Recommended DVD?

It is estimated that in America last year, nearly $2 trillion was spent on health care -- and virtually all that money was spent on treating disease.1 Despite this massive expenditure on treatment, more Americans are sicker than ever before with diseases that are largely preventable: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and depression, to name a few.

Each year more money is spent on treatment, mere patchwork, even though it has become crystal-clear that treatments do NOT enable you to live a longer, better life. So why is the amount of money being spent on prevention just a pittance compared with the amount spent on treatment? The answer is simple -- when you are sick it is highly profitable to various giant corporations. When you are well, it doesn't profit them much at all.

Over the years, I have compiled many articles that support evidence that the conventional health system results in more harm than good. But no one has ever analyzed and combined ALL of the published literature dealing with injuries and deaths caused by government-protected medicine and reproduced the information in such an easy-to-follow, insightful and compelling medium -- that is, UNTIL NOW.

Gary Null's new DVD, Prescription For Disaster, is a must-see in-depth investigation and expose of the conventional health care syste -- and that's putting it lightly. It describes in detail the failure of the traditional paradigm and provides us with shocking statistics on the thousands and thousands of deaths that resulted from unnecessary or incorrect medical treatments.
Prescription For Disaster takes you deep into the symbiotic relationships between the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, lobbyists, lawmakers, medical schools, and researchers, and the impact this has on consumers and their health care.

During this thorough investigation from medical insiders, you get a first hand look at:

Why patented drugs are so readily prescribed by doctors The role insurance companies and HMO's play in promoting compliance, and the problem of rising health care costs The marketing and public relations efforts on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies -- including sales reps, medical journals and conferences.

Alternatives to traditional pharmacology and drug therapy -- vitamins, nutritional supplements, alternative nutritional therapies, exercise, healthy lifestyle changes -- and why they are often perceived as a competitive threat to the drug manufacturers The problem of rising health care costs As a research scientist at the Institute of Applied Biology for over 27 years, Gary Null, Ph.D., has spent his career investigating health issues and searching for the truth.

A New York Times best-selling author, the host of the talk radio program, "The Gary Null Show," producer of documentary films, DVDs and PBS television programs, Null empowers all who will listen with life-changing facts that promote wellness. Prescription For Disaster is a landmark investigative journal that lends further credence and urgency to my vision and my quest to transform the medical paradigm to one that is sincerely dedicated to listening to the patients' concerns and expressing commitment to their health and well-being at the deepest levels.

Unintentional Deaths from Prescription Drugs On the Increase

In 2004, poisoning was second only to motor-vehicle crashes as a cause of death from unintentional injury in the United States. Deaths increased by 61 percent in 1999, growing from 4.4 per 100,000 people in that year to 7.1 per 100,000 people in 2004.

Unfortunately for these victims it is too late, however it is not too late for the millions of people still suffering around the world to get better in a natural way. To get and feel healthy, both physically and mentally. A natural way that involves NO DRUGS at all. Eliminating accumulated toxins will clear our internal systems so that they work properly again. A juice detox, followed by a detox diet will do this naturally and safely.

"Sweet Remedy" DVD exposes Politics and Toxins

"SWEET REMEDY : The World Reacts to an Adulterated Food Supply" is a DVD movie that demonstrates how corruption has given birth to numerous toxins in our food supply.

We must see this movie to understand why! Sweet Remedy demonstrates that a corrupt flagship regulatory agency has given birth to numerous toxins in our food supply. This is no accident. A close examination of the U.S. Corporate power structure demonstrates that neurotoxic foods resulting in a dumber populace is simply a matter of policy. In the United States and through each nation within its global corporate grasp, maintaining a healthy mind and body is an act of civil disobedience. Ultimately, healing has become the path of resistance for informed individuals. They interviewed a host of MDs and Natural Health practioners to gain the clearest possible perspective for a path to recovery. Perhaps the sweetest remedy this film offers is the hope provided by witnessing a variety of groups as they withstand the confusion, casualties and obstacles involved with taking control of their food and their health.

The film includes Dr. Russell Blaylock, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Jim Turner, ESQ, Dr. Michael Ruff, Dr. Candace Pert, Professor Noam Chomsky, Sheldon Rampart, Jeffrey Smith, Jack Samuels, Dr. Janet Starr Hull, Mary Nash Stoddard, Spice Williams-Crosby, Bob Wall, Larry Hagman, David Getoff, Howard Glasser, Sally Fallon, Robert Scott Bell, Arthur Evangelista, Betty Martini, and many more.

If this is all true, all the more reason to go on, and stay on, a detox diet.

Weight Loss Products Claims

They make big claims but, with many diet supplements and weight loss products, the only thing lighter will be your wallet.

An hour or so spent trawling the shelves of pharmacies, health food stores and supermarkets leaves you wondering why Australia has a weight problem. With so many products claiming to suppress appetite, boost metabolism and promote weight loss, dropping a dress size should be easy.

But despite their use of words such as "thermogenic" or "fat metaboliser", implying these products have the weight of science behind them, there's little solid research to match many of their claims.

There's some evidence to suggest some ingredients in weight-loss products - including green tea, bitter orange and capsaicin (the active ingredient that gives chilli its bite) - can increase metabolism a little. However, this doesn't automatically translate into weight loss. The effect on metabolism is small, the evidence isn't strong and more studies are needed, says nutritionist Rosemary Stanton.

Caffeine and guarana (a plant extract containing caffeine), common ingredients in weight-loss products, can also boost metabolism slightly, she says, but, again, the effect is small and only lasts for a couple of weeks.

Eight years ago, Stanton co-wrote a review published in the Medical Journal of Australia assessing the evidence of the effectiveness of common ingredients in non-prescription weight-loss supplements. The ingredients studied included brindleberry, chitosan, capsaicin, caffeine, L-carnitine, chromium picolinate, ginkgo biloba, a seaweed called fucus vesiculosus, fibre supplements, grape-seed extract, lecithin, St John's wort, isoflavones and horse chestnut.
The review concluded there was little evidence to support the use of any of them. Since then, Stanton says, not much has changed in the way of stronger evidence or promising new supplements.

My comment - A natural detox diet is still the best, and will give lasting results, while not depending on any weight loss products. Save your money!

Weight Loss Pills - Advertising Banned

DRUG giant Roche has been banned from advertising its weight-loss pill Xenical direct to consumers because of the risk of unsafe use.

The move comes after controversial advertisements for the drug were screened during the popular youth program Australian Idol, prompting criticisms that Roche was targeting teenage girls.

The National Drugs and Poisons Schedule Committee, which made the decision yesterday, said the advertising was increasing pressure on pharmacists to sell the product and this could lead to inappropriate use.

"While acknowledging the importance of the obesity problem in Australia, the (committee) decided that, on balance, there was insufficient public health benefit associated with allowing direct-to-consumer advertising," a committee spokeswoman said.

She said the drug was appropriate only for patients who were very overweight and had a serious health problem or who were obese, but not for the general population "who might wish to manage more minor weight issues".

However, the committee rejected calls for Xenical to be sold only by prescription, so pharmacists will still be able to sell the drug over the counter.

Consumer lobby group Choice, which had been campaigning for the drug to be returned to prescription-only status, welcomed the advertising ban by the committee, but said it would be effective only if pharmacists followed the issuing guidelines.

"Our research shows that a significant number of pharmacists aren't following the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia's guidelines on how it should be sold, and we hope that those pharmacists would now pay more attention to those guidelines," Choice policy manager Gordon Renouf said.

In December, Choice tested pharmacists' adherence to the guidelines by sending a 19-year-old woman in the healthy weight range, who should not have been sold Xenical, to 30 Sydney pharmacies. The woman was sold the drug in 24 of 30 pharmacies.

Fewer than 10 pharmacists asked for her measurements, and eight of those who sold the drug gave no directions on how to use it properly. She was advised about diet and exercise in only 13 pharmacies.

Xenical costs between $120 and $180 for a four-week course and Mr Renouf said pharmacists faced a financial conflict of interest in advising customers against it.

However, Pharmaceutical Society of Australia spokesman Aaron Hall said he believed most pharmacists were following the guidelines.

"Advertising an over-the-counter drug in itself is not a bad thing. The devil is always in the detail," Mr Hall said.

"Drug companies really should think carefully about the impact of the advertising and the context in which it's shown to try and minimise perceptions of exactly what Roche has been accused of," he said.

Roche declined to comment yesterday.
