 "Pfizer's calls for healthcare systems around the world to reimburse Viagra's cost as it does other drugs led to the press speculating that the entire NHS drug budget would be spent maintaining erections if rationing wasn't confronted upfront, and soon.
Pfizer was serious. Its legal challenges against both the UK and Australia for trying to restrict access to the drug only died down when it became clear men were happy enough to buy it themselves."- Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) |
 "First, for those of you who are not familiar with the healthcare industry, you should know that Ms. Angell is better capable of writing this masterpiece than any other author. She used to be Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, which is considered the most prestigious medical journal in the world. Don't let her credentials scare you off, though. This is easy reading and the book captures your attention like a true business thriller, only this is real life suspense.
But this volume is much more than simple entertainment."- Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a healthcare Hitman (Get the book.) |
| "This does not refer only to the antiretrovirals for HIV that tens of millions in the majority world are dying for want of; that is a separate book. healthcare services everywhere are struggling to buy the latest life-extending cancer drugs, for example, the costs of which (tens of thousands of dollars per patient a year) are generally seen as a test case as to how much markets can afford." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) "Put another way, healthcare will be delivered in an automated context, making full use of electronic medical records, personalised treatment protocols, and ultimately, personal medicines.14 It all sounded fantastic but, of course, couldn't get round the fact that most people appreciate a doctor and a bit of care and attention, especially when ill. As author Madeline Bunting observed, 'The central tenet of consumerism is choice; when you're ill, you don't have the strength to make complicated choices." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) |
 "They are the primary contributors to our rapidly escalating national healthcare crisis. We must realize the damage we are doing to our bodies, by our increasing dependence on such potentially dangerous drugs as the only solution. A lifetime of drugs is not, and never will be a viable solution to any health concern. The only way we can resolve any health issue is by addressing the basic underlying problem, followed by providing the natural organic nutrients our body can immediately recognize and utilize to effectively heal itself."- Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) |
| "Vice President, Endocrine Care, healthcare Hitman." Actually, it didn't say the last two words, but it could have. To be a vice president, I thought, would be enough to put me in a bad position if the Feds came looking at our business. I had to take action.
The Internal Investigation
I spent the following months working closely with Pharmacia's legal department and many of the employees in the U.S. group were interviewed. By the time we were done, we had new people in the U.S. marketing department and had created a new sales incentive system that didn't reward off-label sales." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a healthcare Hitman (Get the book.) |
| "That could easily result in a major healthcare disaster in the nation. You absolutely must become adequately informed regarding the serious consequences associated with the use of these potentially dangerous drugs! Your life (or at least your quality of life) is at stake." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) "Confessions of a Medical Heretic, sums up our healthcare in general rather well when he states that: "/ believe that more than ninety percent of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth - doctors, hospital, drugs, and equipment - and the effect on our health would be immediate and beneficial" (p. 288). I might add that I am sure Dr. Mendelsohn was not referring to the many competent surgeons who perform a great service in saving lives, especially from serious accidents." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) "Although the natural solution is often very simple, it is seldom considered, but as usual with our broken healthcare system, it is instead just treated with drugs. The long-term potential for children taking these serious drugs cannot be overstated. Zoloft?and Prozac?are the same basic class of SSRI antidepressants, known for creating havoc with people's lives in general. And we are even giving them to our very young children. What a terrible way to destroy a life at such an early age!" - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) |
| "After all, that was my job—to be a healthcare hitman. Exploring my options led to the next anomaly: 90 percent of our sales went to pediatric patients, and only 10 percent to adult patients. But our sales efforts didn't reflect this ratio: Half our sales force focused on the adult area, and seventeen of the top twenty bonus payouts went to sales reps targeting the adult area.3
This made no sense from a business point of view. Why give bonuses mainly to the sales people that generated just 10 percent of the business? Why push sales to the adult market?" - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a healthcare Hitman (Get the book.) |
| "Certainly, it is hard to find any healthcare more essentially disengaged than popping a pill. Medicines are designed to get into the body as seamlessly with 'normal life' as possible. Whether drugs are popped, injected, inhaled, chewed, or slapped on one's buttocks as a patch, passivity prevails. A good drug is one you don't even know you're taking, for the all-too-human reason that no one wants to dwell too long on their need for prescription drugs." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) |
| "Tendentious and boring as I expected this book would be, I soon realized that, in fact, it was filled with so many amazing statements that I decided not just to do a review on Amazon, but to also distribute the review through a press release distributed to all news media and on the net.
MEA CULPA BY A BIG PHARMA CEO, July 5, 2005
Pfizer's CEO, Dr. Hank McKinnell has written an astonishing book in which he admits that he doesn't always believe in what he's saying [11], that drugs from Canadian pharmacies are safe [69] and that high U.S." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a healthcare Hitman (Get the book.) |
 "The first was to create a vehicle to educate both the medical community and healthcare consumers about the safety and efficacy of bio-identical hormone therapies. Our second goal was to make my over-the-counter bio-identical progesterone cream and other products more widely available, committing a percentage of website profits to support medical research in the field of bio-identical hormone replacement.

 "This is a time in our healthcare system when we should be looking at spending less on a technology rather than more, given other outstanding health priorities. The question we must continue to ask is: Will continuing research into neuroimaging benefit patients or the researchers and their associated companies?
What habits, then, might be seen as obstacles to wisdom?"- 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.) |

"Unfortunately, because the pharmaceutical industry has created so much marketing hype about a woman's need for estrogen replacement as a fountain-of-youth treatment for menopause, most medical practitioners and healthcare consumers are misinformed and/or confused. The consequence for millions of people is that the very real condition of estrogen dominance is often overlooked or, worse, misdiagnosed and mistreated. For instance, consider the case of a woman I'll call Sylvia. Sylvia, a thirty-six-year-old divorced mother of three, came to my office six months after moving to Florida from Oregon." - C. W.

 "It's clear that patients undergoing hemodialysis are at risk for developing a carnitine deficiency; therefore, dietitians, physicians, and other healthcare professionals need to be especially aware of the valuable benefits of L-carnitine supplementation for this vulnerable group. Carnitine deficiency also has implications for treatment of high triglyceride and cholesterol levels in this population of patients.
Carnitine, Triglycerides, and Cholesterol
One of the risk factors for patients undergoing hemodialysis is hypertriglyceridemia."- Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "Some of this comes out of necessity; managed-care plans have driven our patients into seeking cost-effective medical-care delivery, as more of their healthcare dollars are coming out of their own pockets. Many patients are now questioning the need for potentially life-threatening drugs and invasive interventions that carry considerable risk of side effects, complications, and even mortality. Recent research reviews and an analysis of peer-reviewed medical journals, as well as government health statistics, demonstrate that our trusted medical model can cause more harm than good." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
 "I pulled the "Dear healthcare Provider" letter out of my files to make sure that my recollection of its wording was accurate. It was. After going over the language very carefully, I realized that this review article had taken drug salesmanship into new territory. This supposedly authoritative review article in the New England Journal of Medicine seemed to be stating as fact one of the "unsubstantiated comparative claims" that the FDA had forbidden the manufacturer of Celebrex to make on its own behalf."- John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) |
| "It is important that healthcare consumers learn about these nutrients, and demand that their doctors be aware of their tremendous benefits and potential. For cardiologists, the most logical and ethical approach to patient care is to incorporate these vital nutraceuticals into the treatment options they recommend to their patients. These simple, easy-to-follow "Sinatra Solutions" will improve your quality of living, reduce your suffering, and maybe even extend your life." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
 "The 2002 PhRMA Code on Interactions with healthcare Professionals begins with the statement that "relationships with healthcare professionals . . . should be focused on informing healthcare professionals about products, providing scientific and educational information, and supporting medical research and education."11 In other words, big pharma insists it is in the education business.
Then it goes on to recommend that companies not provide payments or gifts to doctors unless they serve an educational or research purpose. (Precisely how gifts serve such purposes is never explained."- Marcia Angell, M.D., The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It (Get the book.) |
| "However, a recent review by the Cochrane Collaboration—an evidence-based healthcare database centered in Oxford, England—demonstrated no consistent positive benefits in several studies.
The Cochrane Collaboration is the largest international effort to evaluate medical evidence and provide information to decision makers concerned about the quality of care in medicine. It was started by the British medical researcher Archie Cochrane in 1993. You can access this database at www.cochrane.org/index.htm." - Peter J.

 "Elvira Draga, Global Insight, August 30,2007
Results from a healthcare study involving 60,000 families in Italy, found that homeopathy is the most popular alternative therapy in the country, with around 7% of Italians having been treated homeopathically. Women are more likely to have tried alternative therapy, with 15.8% of women having tried at least one form of alternative medicine, compared to 11.2% of men. The second most popular alternative therapy is osteopathy and chiropractic treatments with 6.4%, followed by phytotherapy at 3.7% and acupuncture at 1.8%.

The Cochrane Collaboration, an international not-for-profit and independent organization, dedicated to making up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of healthcare readily available worldwide, issues systematic reviews of healthcare interventions.

| "This effort is simply too costly for smaller companies trying to reach the broad and highly diverse audience of healthcare professionals suffering from a complete lack of knowledge about these revolutionary treatments.
This book specifically discusses the importance of energy metabolism for cardiovascular health and the impact of these three nutrients on the cardiovascular system. But the story should not end there." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
| "Perhaps the word "healthcare" gives us the illusion that medicine is about health. Allopathic medicine is not a purveyor of healthcare but of disease-care. Studying the mortality figures in the healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) within the U.S. government's Agency for healthcare Research and Quality, we found many points of interest.13 The HCUP computer program that calculates the annual mortality statistics for all U.S. hospital discharges is only as good as the codes that are put into the system." - Gary Null PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD, Dorothy Smith PhD., Death by Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "Given the purely symptom-oriented approaches to dealing with the most serious disorders today, as you would expect, healthcare costs are spiraling out of control. In fact, these ever-increasing health expenditures now pose the greatest threat to the survival of the economy. Even some of the largest corporations can no longer afford to pay for their sick employees' medical insurance while expanding their businesses at the same time. Just like the US at large, they borrow money to keep their companies afloat."- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "Over time, such technology would also eventually mean savings in health-care dollars; no small matter given that autoimmune diseases now represent a yearly health-care burden of more than $120 billion, compared to the yearly healthcare burden of $70 billion for direct medical costs for cancer.

 "Strict hygiene, smaller family sizes, better healthcare and sterile food, all restrict our exposure to microbes as infants. The hygiene hypothesis was suggested by David Strachan in 1989, as data was starting to show an increase in the number of people suffering from allergies. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States reported that the prevalence of asthma in the United States has doubled from approximately 6.8 million in 1978 to more than 15 million in 1998.
