"Scully, then Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, ordered him not to provide his cost estimate to Congress, stating that he, Scully, was "acting under direct white house orders." Foster testified that before the vote on the bill, he informed President Bush's special assistant for health policy, Doug Badger, and associate director of the white house Office of Management and Budget, James C. Capretta, of the estimate." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"But it was her reaction to Willie's death in 1862 when the Lincolns were in the white house which is most famous. As the First Lady, one might hope she would be a model for a nation filled with parents losing children to disease and war. But instead of accepting a natural period of grief for 11-year-old Willie, she chose to focus on her loss intensely. She ended all white house entertainment and ordered stationery with wide black borders.4 The white house itself was fdled with black crepe.5 Mary Lincoln wanted everyone to know that her grief was especially great." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Humphrey took Wennberg's letter to the white house. When managers at E. Fougera learned that the Johnson administration was preparing to call a meeting with FDA officials over Ora-bilex, the company voluntarily withdrew the drug. The Orabilex episode set Wennberg on a new course. He realized that there was more to being a doctor than simply treating one patient at a time; that doing the right thing, asking what he could do for his country, meant working to improve the health of communities." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Former white house press secretary Tony Snow died in July 2008 at the age of 53, following a series of chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer. In 2005, Snow had his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Two years later (2007), Snow underwent surgery to remove a growth in his abdominal area, near the site of the original cancer. "This is a very treatable condition," said Dr. Allyson Ocean, a gastrointestinal oncologist at Weill Cornell Medical College. " - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"To this day, some conspiracy theorists think that the water in the white house, Camp David, or the Bushes' Kennebunkport home was poisoned by none other than Saddam Hussein! may not produce enough tears, causing them to feel dry, gritty, and irritated. In some cases, completely closing the eyes becomes difficult, making them vulnerable to serious injury, including corneal ulceration (an open sore on the cornea) and possibly perforation. Finally, if the eyes can't fully close at night, sleeping becomes extremely difficult. WARNING SIGN Exophthalmos usually affects both eyes." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Congress or white house. Opportunities for reforms that would benefit consumers have come and gone. O ne came in 1978, during the presidency of Jimmy Carter, when the General Accounting Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress, reported that about 100 ingredients in cosmetic products were "suspected carcinogens" based on a list compiled by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health in its Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances." - Samuel S.

"Then-President Bill Clinton announced the accomplishment at a white house press conference, congratulating scientists working in the public and private sectors on what was a "landmark achievement, which promises to lead to a new era of molecular medicine, an era that will bring new ways to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure disease."1 148 A new era had begun for the Alzheimer's field." - 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.)

"Washington would set the example by keeping the national Christmas tree on the white house front lawn turned off. The nation, fat and complacent, used to consuming energy like so many cheeseburgers, was in shock, forced, for the first time, to go on a diet. There was talk of rationing books being printed. Five years later Jimmy Carter would term it the 'moral equivalent of war', and it felt that way to most middle-aged Americans, who hadn't had to ration gas since the Second World War. Bill stormed back inside and got on the phone to Hal Puthoff to complain." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"She ended all white house entertainment and ordered stationery with wide black borders.4 The white house itself was fdled with black crepe.5 Mary Lincoln wanted everyone to know that her grief was especially great. Months later a reporter came for an interview and had a surprising experience. "She entered the room where I awaited her, evidently striving for some composure of manner; but as I took the hand which she extended to me, she burst into a passion of tears and gave up all effort at self-control. ..." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Six days of dealing with a turf war between the State Department and the FBI, six days of fending off corrupt coroners, six days of unfathomable grief as I spent days and nights on the phone with countless government officials in three countries, FBI agents, Air Force colonels, and white house liaisons. Six days of hearing how the white house would do everything possible to bring them home—provided that the families would agree to let the government wrap the caskets in flags for the world to see our grief and to bolster support for the war against drugs and terrorism." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"Kennedy Jr. The white house office of Environmental Policy chief of staff from 2001 to 2005 was Phillip Cooney the former chief lobbyist from the American Petroleum Institute. He joined Exxon two days after resigning from his post (following a media scandal about his rewording of documents on global warming). It's not surprising that commercial logging occurs in national forests and parks given the fact that, from 1998 to 2002, the head of the Forest Service was Mark Rey a former timber-industry lobbyist." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"It was for an informal presentation that was to be made to white house and military officials for the newly funded weapon system named Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), popularly referred to as "Star Wars." During the reception that followed the event, I had the opportunity to listen in on a conversation between one of the high-ranking military officials and a CEO from our company. The question that the CEO asked related to the personal cost the other man had incurred to be in his position of power. "What sacrifices did you have to make to get where you are today?" he asked." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.)

"A veritable army of lobbyists whose primary mission it is to achieve rent seeking gains occupy hundreds of offices along the District of Columbia's famed K street and in other locations near the white house and the House and Senate office buildings. THE RISE OF TYRANNY he Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement JL Administration, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are three paradigms of combined legislative, executive, and judicial powers that have devolved into cesspools of abuse and corruption." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"Van Buren had brought a French chef to the white house, a blunder seized on by his opponent, William Henry Harrison, who made much of the fact that he subsisted on "raw beef and salt." George H. W Bush's predilection for pork rinds and Bill Clinton's for Big Macs were politically astute tastes to show off.) It could well be that, as Levenstein contends, the sheer abundance of food in America has fostered a culture of careless, perfunctory eating. But our Puritan roots also impeded a sensual or aesthetic enjoyment of food." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"In 2000, I testified as an expert witness for the white house Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). The growing body of evidence for the effectiveness of mind-body medicine had finally pushed it into the medical mainstream. Over three decades of clinical work, I have demonstrated that the power of the human mind is infinite, that every person possesses extraordinary nobility, and that life is a series of lessons designed to lead us into the direct experience of these two realities. These are tall claims to be sure, but the methods speak for themselves." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"At least some of Medicare's estimates of the cost of the drug bill were sent to the White House; but they weren't sent to Congress. According to the Wall Street Journal, within weeks of the final vote on the bill, Scully told Foster, "We can't let that [estimate] get out." In March 2004, Foster told the New York Times, "There was a pattern of withholding information for what I perceived to be political purposes, which I thought was inappropriate." One month after the Medicare prescription drug bill was passed, Mr." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "The 2002 Annual Report of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers (among them, Dr. Mark McClellan, before being appointed commissioner of the FDA and then Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) articulated the council's general approach to health care: "Markets respond more rapidly than bureaucracies to the changing technology and new innovations in products and services that characterize the American Health Care System." Markets do indeed respond quickly to changes in health care technology, but these responses do not necessarily lead to better health." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"He stated that the pharmaceutical industry "is in the white house." Wall Street journalist, Tom Hamburger (Drug Industry moves to Bolster Image Before Vote, Sept 16, 2002), talks about contributions of millions and millions of dollars, which go to candidates and parties. And yes, groups that are accused of being financed by the pharmaceutical industry back candidates in favor of the pharmaceutical industry. So an unbelievable amount of money flows to election campaigns. In addition, lobby groups are put upfront, all with just one purpose: to influence politics." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Foster testified that before the vote on the bill, he informed President Bush's special assistant for health policy, Doug Badger, and associate director of the white house Office of Management and Budget, James C. Capretta, of the estimate. Foster was specifically ordered not to respond to a pre-vote request for that information from the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Bill Thomas (R-Cal). Foster received an email from an aide to Scully warning Foster that he would experience "extremely severe" consequences if he provided the estimate to Congress." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"Despite all this, white house chief of staff Andrew Card said in 2004 (in the wake of the Vioxx scandal, no less) that the FDA was doing a "spectacular job."39 Given both a lack of resources and the fact that what resources it has are under political influence, the FDA's power to regulate the drug industry is surprisingly limited. For example, the agency reviews only a small percentage of the drug commercials that air on television. The FDA says, quite rightly, it doesn't have the resources to review the 54,000 drug promotions a year that come its way." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Many, like Las Vegas's Cenegenics Medical Institute, which the Wall Street Journal described as a sprawling neoclassical spa that resembles the white house, combine the spa feel with injections of human growth hormone. It is a big business, with about 35 percent of the center's 4,000 patients getting daily injections of HGH for everything from increased libido to decreased wrinkles. And that does not include the vitamins and testosterone. Rock on ..." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.) "OUT OF SIGHT In addition to doctors, the other great buffering force is government — the FDA, which regulates new drugs,- Congress, which funds the FDA and holds subpoena power for all pharma records; and the white house, which appoints the officials who are supposed to oversee the process. Together they constitute what now passes for the nation's pharmaceutical prophylaxis. They are all institutions fundamentally mediated by politics, some more so than others, and in the last ten years they have all had their old buffering powers blunted by pharmaceutical company political activity." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.) "He had met not once, but many times with the white house personnel office, as well as with Scott McClellan, the president's communications chief, and Mark McClellan, Scott McClellan's brother and the head of the president's Council of Economic Advisers. "I had a strong sense that, if the president signs on, you've got the job," Wood recalls being told of the discussions. Many in the small but distinguished field of clinical pharmacology cheered. The Holmer-Pfizer machine then kicked into high gear." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.)

"This official document, which, of course, recounts former President Clinton's dalliance with white house intern Monica Lewinsky, proves that on the afternoon of President's Day holiday, Monday, February 19, 1996, President Clinton "told [Ms. Lewinsky] that he no longer felt right about their intimate relationship, and he had to put a stop to it." The Starr Report reveals that as he was ending their liaison, "the President had a [private] call from a sugar grower in Florida whose name, according to Ms. Lewinsky, was something like 'Fanuli.' In Ms." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.)

"What follows is worthy of a movie. The white house, Department of Defense (DOD), and perchlorate-industry companies spent considerable time and energy handpicking the panel of "independent" scientists on the NAS panel. During this time period, industry-paid scientists repeatedly attacked any study on perchlorate that indicated a safety concern. They began writing editorial letters defending and promoting the safety of perchlorate. Attorneys for Lockheed Martin attacked a member of the EPA scientific-review panel, in an attempt to discredit the 1 ppb guideline." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.) "The industry lobbied the white house for a review of the data by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), an independent panel of expert scientists. The request was granted, shocking EPA scientists who had been working on the perchlorate issue for years. The NAS evaluation would need to be completed before any EPA guidelines could be made final, delaying any action in the interests of consumer health. What follows is worthy of a movie." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"We even read of a fellow, Jeff Gannon, who managed to join the white house Press Corps on the strength of having been a male escort. That is the sort of experience that really counts these days, we imagine.4 But resigning himself to being as much in the dark as anyone else would puncture the self-importance of the modern journalist. It simply won't do. So what does he do? He lets you know that yes, he is simply parroting the military's line, but so what? That's what he is supposed to do. If he can't beat them, he will join them." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)
