Pharma marketing website wikipedia

is arrogant, patronising, blatant and scary

Here they are on misinformation;

In the medical field, misinformation can immediately lead to life endangerment as seen in the case of the public's negative perception towards vaccines (1) or the use of herbs(2) instead of medicines to treat diseases(3).In regards to the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of misinformation has proven to cause confusion as well as negative emotions such as anxiety and fear.Misinformation regarding proper safety measures for the prevention of the virus(4) that go against information from legitimate institutions like the World Health Organization (5) can also lead to inadequate protection and possibly place individuals at risk for exposure.

Some scholars and activists are heading movements to eliminate the mis/disinformation and information pollution in the digital world. One theory, "information environmentalism," has become a curriculum in some universities and colleges.(6)

1. Need I say anything?

2. Plants and herbs are the most powerful antioxidants on the planet and have incredible medicinal properties, some of which have been stolen to make ‘medicines’ ie pharma products. The best way to treat burns, for example, is accepted to be lavender oil.

3.The percentage of people who benefit from cancer drugs and therapy is very low. Patients are not told this because if they were, nobody would choose to take drugs with such unpleasant side-effects, and then no-one would receive the drug benefit. From our research into how clinical trials are conducted I now have serious doubts about even this small percentage efficacy that is claimed for any cancer drug or therapy.

How power couple Pharma + Regulation are fooling Doctors

4. Never been shown to exist or cause disease.

5.Unelected, led by a gangster and funded by a billionaire drug pusher.

6. This is so 1984 it’s unreal.

Here they are on autoimmunity

This pharma marketing page on autoimmune conditions makes me think all syndromes are just made up collections of symptoms. Presence of auto antibodies is unhelpful I think, as antibodies are not specific to one antigen, but cross react with many. Many people may have antibodies to their own proteins, they just aren't tested (testing - another big win for Pharma!)

That restless leg and stiff-person syndromes are actual things- is like saying a disturbance in the force is a disease. Our bodies are constantly coming back to balance; with pustules, agitation, mucus, tiredness.

It would be far more helpful (though less lucrative for Pharma for whom drugs follow diagnosis just as vaccines follow viruses) to have lists of things that will cause imbalances in the body rather than lists of collections of symptoms called syndromes named after some dude (or place); -

smoking, pesticides and herbicides, diets deficient in fibre and green leafs, (and thus deficient in the master antioxidant glutathione, a reserve of glutamate an important neurotransmitter), chronic stress, suppression of emotion (the great Gabor Maté author of 'When the body says No' notes that all MS patients, to a person, are 'nice' and will not make a fuss-even unto death), lack of sunshine, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, loneliness, isolation...

Which takes us right back to misinformation. I am apparently an information polluter and enemy of the state for saying, with full scientific backing, that herbs and green leafs promote vitality, prevent and treat illness, taste delicious and make you feel fantastic. Activists and scholars (a very old fashioned word, who is a scholar? Bill Gates?!) are trying to eliminate this good news about health from being shared in the digital world.

1) The obvious exception to the benefits of a diagnosis and treatment is insulin for type 1 diabetes. However this is not really a drug, just the discovery that the beta cells were damaged and the body requires insulin (thankfully now synthetic and not from a pig). Pharma is no closer to a cure or a prevention (would they want to be?). I am sure that type 1 is caused by a toxic event. It seems to be linked to early exposure to cows milk, and to proteins from certain herds. We are the only species to drink the breast milk from another species as adults, able to so because of a mutation in about 30% of people, who are mostly caucasian. Asians and South Americans consuming traditional diets seem to have lower type 1 diabetes and breast and prostate cancer rates.
