Prescription for Disaster - -You Need to Watch This Video!!

If you haven't had the opportunity to watch the documentary,Prescription For Disaster, yet, I urge you to study Gary Null's lengthy investigation into the many "play-for-pay" relationships that exist between lawmakers, lobbyists, medical schools and the FDA, just to name a few, that constantly serve to harm your health, while keeping the coffers of drug companies flush with cash.

This film documents the problems with a health care system that supports the many and frequent scams evil marketing geniuses employed by drug companies foist on an unknowing public every day.

In this 92-minute documentary, you'll hear from experts like FDA scientist Dr. David Graham, who strongly believes nothing has fundamentally changed since the Vioxx debacle more than two years ago.

Why do drug companies and conventional medicine fight so hard to fight against safer, effective alternatives that don't involve needless drugs and procedures that are more often than not, harmful and fatal? The flow of marketing cash filling the pockets of your doctor and hospital to prescribe these horrible potions might end, for starters...

Once you follow the trail of money Gary Null describes in Prescription For Disaster, I'm sure you'll want to share this important video, now available in my Web store, with your friends and loved ones.

This is unquestionably an incredible video! My question to you, Dr. Mercola, is why don't you, Gary Null, and Matthias Rath compile your resources and team-up? You guys are established, cutting-edge health experts (not trying to inflate your ego) that I feel could do alot more as a team than separately! I enjoy, and am grateful, for the time and effort you guys put in toward changing the face of healthcare as we know it. I also think it's great that you post Null's videos and articles, however the "evil" (for lack of a better term) business conglomerates are merging while heading toward a one world everything! What are the good guys doing to pool their resources (monetarily) and counteract? Maybe you three meet behind closed doors periodically, I don't know but would like to. I will look forward to a response at your earliest convenience. Thanks, Doc.

Good idea and already in progress, although not with the people you suggest. You hit the nail on the head. It will be virtually impossible to do this alone. I realized that four years ago which is why I started my alliance with the chiropractic profession and leaders like Pat Gentempo, Fab Mancinni, Bob Hoffman, and Ben Lerner.

One of my goals for 2007 is to work less on the newsletter as I put in 16 hour days seven days a week and that leaves little time for the high level strategic planning necessary to achieve the higher goal.

Everyone should watch this video.  People really believe that the FDA is there to protect the public and the drug companies function in some benevolent altruistic mode of just helping the sick get well.   Drug companies are concerned with the bottom line and the FDA is heavily pressured by the manufacturers to approve the product.  the simple fact is, that is a recipe for corruption and graft.


The worriesome aspect is that the mainstream media continuously ignores the problems with drugs and their fatal potential.  The media reports about the "miracles" of medicine everyday in their broadcasts but rarely if ever reports regularly about their dangers and adverse reactions.  If the media kept a body count of the deaths attributed to medicine the way they track the casualties of the Iraq war maybe people would finally wake up to the potential risks of one of America's leading causes of death... medical care.

Dr. David J. Graham is, I suspect, a real thorn in the FDA's side.

I view Dr. Graham, like Dr. Mercola, a TRUE AMERICAN HERO!!!

The Feds are trying to IGNORE the good Doctor, as one whispering voice in the wilderness, among institutionalized corruption, that they preside over, unchecked, for revolving door relationships between Big Pharma and approval employees at FDA.

Congress (House & Senate) who appoints FDA to administer this ongoing den of thieves, is not about to expose themselves, to their own GUILT, in all of this either. Many of the large companies benefiting from all of this, are indeed HUGE contributor$ to each of the politician$ own campaign$ (on BOTH sides of the i$le) and lobbying war chest$.

No FDA official should EVER be allowed to work for industry (even as an independent consultant), even in retirement; it 's the price they should have to pay for being regulators.

But this revolving door stuff is true in all of our US government, with the defense industries doing it, as well as the most recent Secretary of the Interior going to work for Shell Oil Company to try to steamroll through massively polluting, to Colorado drinking water ancient aquifers, a RETORT and chemical enzymatic inefficient 'bake and shake' shale crude oil 'alternative' energy plan for domestic shale deposits.  There are much safer, much higher ROI ,and less polluting systems, already proven for shale oil recovery, in America's need and quest for domestic independence from foreign oil sources; but governmental CORRUPTION again is backing the worse horse in the race.

How can things improve?  Well the first step, is through www.mercola.com sites allowing folks to know about this daily  FRAUD, DECIET, ALWAYS, (FDA) and shine the light on these real CROOKS.

This video is awesome, informative, and so sad.  What is happening in this country!  Why is human life not valuable anymore! Why are babies being drugged with vaccination and it's ok!  

I live in the city and I take the subway and the bus to and from work and I am bombarded by drug ads at the bus stations and on the outside of buses. I have not noticed any in the subways and subway stations as yet but I will have to make sure to check that out.  On the other hand, I was helping a client choose a prescription drug plan and when she told me all the drugs she was on I was shock to see that I recognized half of those drugs from tv commercials. 

Thanks Dr. Mercola for shedding so much light on this issue I just wish more people were able to see this information.  If we are informed then we are empowered to make changes.

When I was in chiropractic college over 50 years ago I read a book, "The Drug Story" by Morris Bealle which disclosed the same information regarding the FDA that is again being brought to some of the public's attention. Where has everyone been for 50 years?
