"But it did so in the context of the solidarity of the american people, and it never ignited a speculative atmosphere. President Franklin Roosevelt said that the GI Bill of Rights gave "emphatic notice to the men and women of our Armed Forces that the american people do not intend to let them down."13 The people who bought at the high prices right after the war were those who felt that they could not wait to get settled in their new homes, not people who were speculating that prices would go up even higher." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"As his spokesman explained, 'Until he sees a way we can do this safely, he won't put the american people in jeopardy' Apparently Sen. Frist doesn't think the american people are in jeopardy because they can't afford to buy prescription drugs.12 Soon the editorial pages of heartland America were filled with headlines, such as the one in Chattanooga Times Free Press, saying, "Dr. Frist, tear down this death wall!" - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman (Get the book.)

"But if you look at what eating a high-glycemic-load diet has cost the american people, the comparison might be brought into perspective for you. As mentioned in the last chapter, our obesity rate has tripled since 1960. Interestingly, this date corresponds directly to two major dietary shifts in our culture. As discussed in the last chapter, this was right about the time the concept of a low-fat diet being good started being promoted by the government, food corporations, and the pharmaceutical industry. As unfounded as that shift was, it had a major impact on the health of the american people." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"In 1999 this was the culture of some 48 percent of the American people: 93 million out of about 193 million adults, more men than women. Family income was $40,000 to $50,000 per year, situating moderns in the middle to upper income bracket. In the United States, the alternative culture Ray calls "cultural cre-atives" is the most hopeful segment of the population. It is made up of people from the middle to the wealthy classes, numbering nearly twice as many women as men. According to Ray, at the turn of the century the share of this subculture was 23.4 percent of the U.S." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"RESTORING THE INTEGRITY AND PURPOSE OF CLINICAL RESEARCH The first step in reorienting American medicine toward the effectiveness the american people have a right to expect and are more than paying for would be to relieve the foxes of their responsibility for guarding the henhouse. How absurd to have more than half the budget of the FDA division that approves new drugs (the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, CDER) paid directly by the drug companies' user fees because the federal government is unwilling to provide adequate funding." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Surely the health of the american people and almost $2 trillion in annual expenditures are important enough to warrant such rigorous oversight. This new independent board would have a threefold mission. First, it would ensure that medical research was designed, conducted, analyzed, and disseminated with the primary purpose of improving health and in accordance with accepted scientific standards." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Quality of care" is now defined largely in ways that best serve the financial interests of drug and other medical industries rather than the health needs of the american people. In this context, the most urgent challenge facing American medicine is not how to guarantee adequate access, but first to determine "access to what?" Nor is it even how to ensure quality of care, because this presumes that the available scientific evidence is adequate to make that determination." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"This tea, drunk cold during the day, will prevent night sweats. The american people would do well if they would use sage instead of tea and coffee. The Chinese make fun of the american people because they buy the expensive tea for their drink and pay a big price for it, while the Chinese buy sage from America for a small price and drink that for their tea, which is a most wonderful remedy. The Chinese know that the sage tea will keep them well, while the tea that we buy from the Chinese makes the american people sick, is a cause of great nervousness, and one of the causes of insanity." - Jethro Kloss, Back To Eden (Get the book.)

"There is no scientific reason for "Heart Attack and Stroke" to hang as an imprecation over the american people. Yes, we all will know people who died before their time from heart attacks and strokes. I certainly do not belittle the tragedy. But we know far, far fewer people who died before their time than did our parents. Aside from the socioeconomically disadvantaged and those few whose families are riddled with premature cardiovascular tragedies, death before our time by myocardial infarction or stroke, although it bedeviled earlier generations, need not much concern ours." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Senate declared: "99 percent of the american people are deficient in minerals, and a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease." This is one of the most intelligent things that has ever come out of the U.S. Senate, and something that was beyond even the scope of medical school. Now, many years later, we are subjected to junk foods, foods that have been pesticided and herbicided, microwaved foods, and foods harvested from increasingly mineral-deficient soils. The situation has only gotten worse." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Supporting local and national politicians who will take measures against the warming of our world prevention is key John Knowles, the former president of the Rockefeller Foundation, once predicted that "the next major advance in the health of the american people will be determined by what the individual is willing to do for himself." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Congress passed the resolution in the hope that "an increase in the national awareness of the problem of Alzheimer's disease may stimulate the interests and concern of the american people, which may lead, in turn, to increased research and eventually to the discovery of a cure." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"It was not that companies were charging too much, he said. The american people simply did not earn enough money. "It seems to me that this problem must be viewed in its true light," Brown said. "It is a matter of inadequate income rather than excessive prices." But Kefauver was not about to let the executives get away with such answers. His staff soon presented a chart showing that Schering and three other drug companies were each selling the steroids prednisone and prednisolone at exactly the same price of $35.80 for a bottle of two hundred tablets." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"In my opinion, the FDA has let the american people down and, sadly, betrayed a public trust. hose ominous words, spoken by David J. Graham, M.D., MPH, associate director of drug safety for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), on November 18,2004, were part of congressional testimony concerning the dangers of the arthritis medication Vioxx, which had just been taken off the market because of evidence that it increased the risk of heart attack." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"The way around that problem is to call the sign itself the disease, a phenomenon which is professionally and financially advantageous, but which does not demonstrably improve the health of the american people. Can we find drugs that work well and save lives? Of course. Their loss would be significant, but, perhaps, not as great as might be imagined. We can also find ones—best-selling ones—that are safe for most people, but from time to time take lives." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"It is important that this committee and the american people understand that what has happened with Vioxx is really a symptom of something far more dangerous to the safety of the american people. Simply put, FDA and its Center for Drug Evaluation and Research are broken."19 More than 20 million people took Vioxx before it was yanked.20 But tens of millions more have taken Celebrex (celecoxib), Bextra (valdecoxib), and other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"Drug company lobbying can no longer be allowed to stand in the way of legislation that clearly serves the health interests of the american people, such as setting aside less than $0.02 per prescription in the Medicare prescription bill to determine the best drugs and therapies for seniors, or simply allowing the market to function so the government can negotiate the best price from drug makers to obtain the best value for American senior citizens. RECLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HEALTH Don't forget the good news. You can take charge of many of your biggest health risks." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"They are unanswerable to the courts, the Congress, and the american people. They are possessed of so much power that they are never ultimately made to account for constitutional law violations or for the many lives and the property they choose to sacrifice. 7 FDA AND DEA DESTRUCTION OF COMPETITION Adrug is statutorily defined not by its physiological effect but by the claims made for it.179 Thus, anything that is said to cure, mitigate, prevent, or treat a disease is a drug." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"As Howard Lyman puts it, "[The] american people have been raised to believe that someone is looking out for their food safety. The disturbing truth is that the protection of the quality of our food is the mandate of foot-dragging bureaucrats at the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration who can generally be counted upon to behave not like public servants, but like hired hands of the meat and dairy industries" (Mad Cowboy, p. 20)." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "The future health, happiness and longevity of the american people looked hopeful! But when the Civil War devastated both North and South infrastructures, homes and farms, the hygienic revolution never recovered to its full glory. The torch lit by Dr. Jennings and his followers that burned so brightly, fueled by so many pre-Civil War hygienists, barely flickered in the darkness of Reconstruction." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "This milieu of ignorance for the natural, physiological needs of the human body and dependency on the medicine men and the belief that doctors knew better than their patients, the pain and suffering rampant and the rising disease records and death rates throughout the country had the american people frightened and despairing for themselves and loved ones. In 1832, the Natural Hygiene movement was formally launched by Dr. Isaac Jennings of Ohio, a conventional medical doctor." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Research," he explains, "is nothing but a guise to keep the american people in ignorance." At Hallelujah Acres, Malkmus is able to boast that people heal completely at his healing center not only from cancer, but also from AIDS. "If the medical community were getting these results, it would be front page news." At the end of the video, a medical doctor speaks about how he healed himself with the raw food diet and wished he had only known about this during his 30 years of medical practice." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"President Franklin Roosevelt said that the GI Bill of Rights gave "emphatic notice to the men and women of our Armed Forces that the american people do not intend to let them down."13 The people who bought at the high prices right after the war were those who felt that they could not wait to get settled in their new homes, not people who were speculating that prices would go up even higher. Other people simply found a temporary place to live and waited for the expected decline in home prices (which never came) or for their savings to increase to the point that they could afford housing." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"He had said the american people were not adequately protected in the current regulatory set-up. He went on to cite five other worldwide drugs concerning which he said the public had reason to be concerned. Such a display of support came from scientists who would be acutely aware that to be with him was to be against those higher up the FDA chain of command. What was the FDA to do? One of its first steps was to announce, in November 2004, the commissioning of an independent study by the Institute of Medicine to create a formal system for resolving internal scientific disputes." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"Largely unbeknownst to the american people there is a war going on that has claimed victims in every family. This war is escalating and threatens every human life. It is a war being waged in the interests of the multibillion dollar pharmaceutical industry, which is not a health industry but rather an investment business built upon the continuation and expansion of global diseases. Your health and the health of every person in America is threatened in several ways: I."The business with disease" as the basis of the pharmaceutical industry." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "The key legislation protecting the rights of the american people for free access to natural therapies and to freedom of health choice. If this fundamental human right to natural health is taken away the health of billions of people will be compromised and tens of millions of them will pay the ultimate price for generations to come. This public health notice was written by a medical doctor! I wholeheartedly support Dr. Rath's work and courage. I WAS RIGHT! FDA CALLS LEVITRA® AD FALSE AND MISLEADING!" - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"It is a battle to maintain financial dignity, a rural way of life, and provide something of true health value to the american people. It is part of our culture. It is a battle of David versus Goliath, and they need our help. Helping is easy—buy their food. Get to know your local farmers who support the cause of raising and growing food in harmony with nature. It is a lot easier to trust people when you can talk to them. Many cities offer wonderful farmer's markets or other opportunities to get involved, such as delivery of seasonal fresh food to locations in your community." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"The key fact here is that the patent laws start counting days whenever a new drug patent is approved by the patent office, not when it is approved by the FDA for use by the american people. So speeding up the FDA's approval process even a few weeks could mean hundreds of millions of dollars to the industry.23 The combined energy of activists and the drug industry led Congress to pass the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) of 1992. I believe few could imagine how dramatically the legislation would transform the FDA and the drug approval process in ways unforeseen by Congress or the FDA." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.) "My greatest hope for the american people ultimately winning the battle and no longer being fooled lies in five areas. (1) College and universities will finally recognize that education must be committed to teaching research design as one of the most important and fundamental aspects of being truly educated. If graduates do not have sufficient knowledge of research design to analyze and critique the research upon which their education is based, they will always be in danger of being duped. It is a great flaw in our educational system that these are not skills universally taught." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)
