SELLING SICKNESS: THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND DISEASE BRANDING | Big Pharma Documentary
To sell a cure, first you need to sell the disease. According to some research, pharmaceutical companies are medicalising normal conditions, like the menopause, promoting non-existent diseases, and transforming mild problems into serious conditions that need treatment.
Twenty years ago, few people worried about their cholesterol level. Today, thanks to the pharmaceutical companies, high cholesterol levels are recognized as a major health problem and two of the best-selling drugs are statin reducers. Disease branding can destigmatize shameful problems, transforming incontinence into an ‘overactive bladder’, and encouraging people to seek treatment. But it can also put healthy people at risk, leading to them taking medicines with potentially dangerous side effects.

I'm an RN, worked in a lot of settings, they jab you when you're born and spoon feed meds as you die. It's a sick culture. Best advice, eat healthy, exercise, get sunshine, and avoid toxic people.
Montanagal; As far as medicine goes, I’d rather be in the United States for treatments and medical intervention. I’ve had some life saving surgeries here that probably weren’t available in other countries. One has to navigate the health industry to make it suit needs. Patient advocacy is difficult sometimes but necessary bc doctors won’t always do right by you. Due diligence isn’t always respected by them! You’re right about preventative measures like diet, exercise and stress reduction. As an RN hopefully you’re not transferring that attitude onto patients. It IS a sick culture. Where isn’t it? We’re all going to die somehow someway.
sadly, we cannot get rid off politicians and their cheerleaders aka public servants!!!
Jesus Christ is also required
You speak the truth, brother.
HOW to avoid toxic people in these greedy awful times?
As a retired nurse, one of the most important observations I made over the course of my career was that all the people that I cared for that lived to be in their high 90s and beyond 100 years, all had one thing in common: they took either no meds or only a very occasional analgesic for rare instances of pain. They also looked healthier, were mentally more acute and were physically more active. Of those seniors who died younger and took more medications, many of them died from the side effects of the medications they were taking.
I'm also doing research and I'm finding that 70% of all the diseases and this is not my observation this is something I've obtained from Dr Robert lustig, he is in a steamed Professor from University of California San francisco. He has several books out and one of the books is called metabolica. In his book he States that, say your percent of all the diseases in the United States is tied to highly processed foods. So he recommends everybody go with a plant-based diet that's the way it was back in the 1950s, 1960 and early 1970s
I have read that some doctors who really care about their patients are raising concerns about polypharmacy in the elderly.
@@catherinebirch2399 I worked with a doctor that believed that polypharmacy was a key factor in nursing home and hospital admissions, as well as injuries and accidents. If you are taking more than 3 prescribed medications together, you create a snowball effect which can quickly get out of hand, with the side effects of all the combined medications and then you start having to medicate these unwanted side effects.
As a current nurse for 33 years, I agree with you %100.
As a current nurse for 33 years, I agree with you %100.
"There's no money in healthy people. There's no money in dead people. The money is in the middle---people who are still alive.....sort of....but have one or more chronic conditions." ~Bill Mahr
True a healed patient Is a Lost customer!
@@jenniferhejhal4101 Pharm =. Satanic
makes no sense is madness to use such a middle.
Those little bad doctors will never ask you about your habits in order to improve your situation. No they won’t. They give you pills for chronic illness instead, and tell you is for the rest of your life. Dirty business.
My late husband, my late stepfather and my late best friend were all Phd pharmacologists from prestigious American universities. All three warned that people should NOT take medications for any chronic condition that can be changed by lifestyle choices. And I don’t and never will.
💯 % great advise.
Hospitals end up getting people hooked on more drugs than steet sellers. Drug companies are really good at it.
And if you disagree with the treatment, you get a shot of haloperidol which inflicts massive brain damage "to sedate you". They used this drug (can cause tongue spasm) plus some opiods plus midazolam (for amnesia - the combination causes respiratory depression) for covid patients. And relatives weren't allowed to visit... Cause of death: covid. Yeah...
The ER doctor said I had anxiety and need mental therapy! Because I wouldn't take all his pills! I'm 62 and on no drugs!
If there's one thing I've always agreed with, it's that psychiatrist will claim that their medications are non-addictive while saying that they can't be stopped abruptly. Absolute liars!
My parents get upset when I'm visiting and I tell them a call came in from their drug dealer...Walgreens.
That's why street sellers get prison time they are a threat to legal drug "stores". They get people hooked on those drugs they people head to the streets. Never told how to wean off and not knowing what is happening to them. It's a horrible thing going on.
As an American I forgot what real journalists asking questions looks like. Good to see!
Yeah, this isn't mainstream media. They actually have details and everything!
I mean it is hard to tell skeletons apart most of the time
Lies again? Apex Predator Pig Rat
When I would go to my Physician, he was always stunned that I was not on any medications, he would always say “I am going to get you on one”. I told him “I don’t do Pharmaceuticals”. At the age of 61, I have never taken one and never will.
L90⁰
Be careful, he/she must be on that one pill.
@@o.z.p. He tried to get me to take the 💉, 2 times and of course I refused. I have not gone back to any “healthcare facility” in 3 years.
Right, someone who spent over a decade in brutal schooling/training is so desperate to convince you to take any medication, so you can then sue them for medical malpractice.
@@thatmajestic Exactly, those “Physicians” who spent all that time in school to become a Doctor and they know next to nothing about nutrition. The very same Doctors who injected the “magic potion” into unsuspecting victims, and when these victims had “reactions” well it wasn’t the “magic potion” that was the cause, it was the patient who was at fault, those “Doctors”....they are highly educated.
The sad thing is that these companies own governments worldwide, and governments work for them, and not for you...
Because the people is busy with stupid staffs.
Exactly!!! That is why I believe government should not be allowed to have any connects to big companies. Period!!!
@@justamom4902 That's why government is corrupt, mostly because of corporate money.
Don't forget the role of the media!!!
Sad part I’m now afraid of giving my opinion on meds for liability
I worked for big pharma for 15 years. It is only ever about the money. And in Australia, getting it fully funded or subsidised by the govt. The pure financial greed is extraordinary.
I have a theory that people who get food stamps or money from the gov never get audited when they buy junk food or stupid stuff
I always ask active people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. What their secret to life is? They always answer " No Doctors and no pills."
Be careful folks: Banned doesn't mean gone. Many times, it means, renamed
Thank you for educating me. Didn't even think about that.
Yeah, that is very profound. I like that❤
I was overweight and depressed. My physician had me on a gang of pills...one day I had an epiphany. I saw a woman about my age, obese, riding a scooter and clutching a Big Gulp. I decided I wasn't going out like that. So I started walking. It wasn't easy. I huffed and puffed and used an inhaler every so often. But I made myself, every day. It didn't take long to see results! I also changed my diet. I was poor, and no matter how I worked and reworked my budget, I could only afford one meal a day. At first that frightened me. Then I began to think, and I realized that, unless you're still growing, or doing manual labor, you do not need three full meals every day. I learned that many people eat like this, the OMAD diet - one meal a day. The healthier I became, the less "medicine" I needed. The inhaler was relegated to the back of a drawer. Antidepressants, gone. I didn't have acid reflux anymore because my organs weren't being squished together. (I know, medical terminology there) 😏 in short, I took my health into my hands, and at 63 I'm in great shape, a size five and just two pills, one to sleep at night and something for anxiety, as needed. We take more medicines than ever. And we're in the worst shape ever. The sicker we are, the richer the pharmaceutical industry and the medical industry become. It isn't in their best interest for us to be healthy! I don't want my illness to pay some doctor's mortgage.
Respect
Good for you! Big pharma makes gazillions every year off everyone’s real and imagined illnesses. I treat food as my medicine. I don’t even want to take supplements.
Your story is truly inspiring. You should create a channel and upload a video telling your story ❤️
Good on you! Best wishes 😊🙏✌️
You might be low in magnesium. I take magnesium and I sleep like a baby, calm cool and collected. Most people are low in magnesium just like vitamin D3 and take that with K2. Magnesium glycinate is very good. You need to be careful in what formulation you take. I take Magnesium L-Threonate - this crosses the blood brain barrier and keeps me off MS drugs along with a healthy diet and exercise.
Why would any greedy drug dealer want an addict cured???
it is time to bring the psychiatric industry to accountability
I agree! There are people that have been on medication‘s for decades. My sister is one of them. She’s been taking medication for ADHD since she was in college and now she’s 53. I am afraid for her, but I feel I have spoken to her enough about it. I have tried to share resources that I have found right here on KZhead with her and it gets to the point where you have to step away and pray that she’s OK. I worry about her liver and her bones, and a few other things as she ages.
1. Exercise 2. Eat Healthy 3. Get Enough Sleep These 3 steps every day and you'll avoid most health problems.
And how do you eat 'healthy'? Im down to 5 foods, only raw milk/cheese/ meat (not pork) and fresh farm eggs (animal fat & seasalt) But veggies/fiber is a lie. They are indigetible cellulose. And now (since 2019) the waxxine ingredients are in the f00d supply (as 'naturaI' flavorings & bioengineered food ingredients) Real labels, peeps! And ignore the n@n0--pois0ning thats going on? My people perish for lack of knowledge...
In the end, you still die.
@@sarahtenbensel2231 Correct. While you're alive, you can either enjoy life because you're healthy or suffer because you are unhealthy.
What about stress?
Stress still will hurt you. I’m have a great bill of health apparently from doctors. Dealing with a huge uterine fibroid tumor that doctors don’t want to remove so I’m having to wait or use stronger birth control. I can’t work and I’ve gained weight in my abdominal area. Due to the growing fibroid. I look pregnant, most studies say to treat it. The facilities that take my insurance don’t think it’s a big deal. Or don’t want to surgically remove it. Even though it can lead to cancer, it’s the size of a grapefruit. It can make weight loss that’s harder to lose even with proper food and medication. This effects more than 40 percent of women.
I hope all pharmaceutical companies are made responsible for all the damage they have done and the many deaths they have caused .
They control world governments now
I agree but unfortunately most will not because if they're getting money out of it, the government and all those companies will find every way possible to keep producing it. Sometimes the FDA is part of those scams and it's sad because a lot of people rely on that FDA approved label to solidify our choice of getting something reliable and looked over. It's all about money at this point.
Not really. When you die, you get buried, and your family mourns, then move on
WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Please read the book Evidence of Harm. FDA, CDC, senators and Congressmen are mostly all working together to benefit Big pharma. In USA they and other corporations are running our country. Till this day they continue to " believe" that mercury in our vaccines was not causing autism given to babies in the first month of their life.

I was blown away when arriving back in the United States after being gone for years, at the 100s a prescription drug commercials on TV in America. I've been all around the world and I've never seen a drug commercial in any other country I've ever been in except New Zealand
It’s not allowed in any other countries.
If you pick up a women's magazine from the 60s or 70s, you MIGHT find one advertisement related to a health condition and the current recommended treatment for it. Then look at the same magazines (if they are still published) in the mid 80s and to the current time. As the decades progress, you'll notice that the progressive "take-over" of the advertisements of big pharma for the various diseases and illnesses du jour. Currently 95% of advertising in women's concerns Big Pharma (including cosmetic & plastic surgeries that require their drugs as well) and Big Cosmetics (which often have Big Pharma as a majority shareholder). And if that's not enough saturated advertising on a mono-theme, then you can read articles about mental & health problems that also direct you to seek medical and pharmaceutical interventions. Then there are the latest diet and food fads to consider, that direct you to Big Food Companies (also with Big Pharma lurking in the background) to make sure they are part of your everyday life in that area as well. Best thing you can do for yourself is to stay away from these magazines and any other forum where they can reach you. The more natural you eat and live, the better quality of life you have!

The biggest risk to your health is in your diet. Avoid carbs sugar processed foods etc. a doc told me to eat food that existed 100 years ago. This eliminates all the boxed and canned foods at the grocery store. My diet is mostly beef butter bacon and eggs. Sone fruits a few veggies mostly meat fish eggs etc. my arthritisis is gone. My skin feels awesome. Less aches and pains. No hunger at all between meals.
Im surprised this comment didn't get more likes. Goes to show most still don't REALLY get it. (I understand 😉) It's very simple!
I have heard stories of doctors giving some of their patients horrible prognoses of shortened lifespans. Then those same patients outliving their "healthy" doctors by many years.😊
Some doctors fabricate diagnoses,when they give the completely wrong drug to a patient like me. Only the Pharmaceutical Industry will emerge scott free from that vomit, because they don't authorise the prescription and try to kill someone, thats completely the doctors fault,they'll be relieved to hear.
This documentary is extraordinary. I've done some research on what I call "The Triad"= The Pharmaceutical Conglomerate, The AMA, and medical insurance, but never got this far. Bravo to all involved!

German here. We have 3 to 6 vaccines that are recommended for toddlers. We usually don't vaccinate before 3 months, usually more like 6 months in case of breast feeding. What goes on in the US is obscene. But I'm sure, that's our future, too.
All one has to do is watch television. Every commercial break has at least one pharmaceutical ad. There is a pill for this, and pill for that, and when the pill gives you nasty side effects, there's a pill for that, too. It's awful.
I have been an ethical vegan for nearly twelve years and at nearly 69 yrs old feel the best iv ever been in my whole entire adult life. We are what we eat and i believe in that old saying let food be thy medicine and medicine be thine food. All the garbage/processed junk i put into my body was and had been making me sick for decades. When we know better, we can live and be better.
Agreed. 70 years here; run 5 miles a week. Don't eat that fake shit they call food and for sure I only use Mcducks or any of those other fast food shit holes when I need to use the mens room. But, will NEVER eat the shit that they serve. Everyone should wake up and and stop eating fake foods that the body does not recognize as true nourishment.
Sad part is doctors really want to help people and many dont know about the system they serve
Exactly. They aren't told about the basics for a healthy life. No clue about nutrition.
I had the absolutely worst meeting with my new doctor." My family doctor retired. I come from a healthy family. Mom was an RN for 38 years. My wife has her PhD. in physical therapy. This poor kid fresh from residency insisted that I get vaccinated. I told him I was not a candidate. I'm healthy, I don't need it. He kept pushing me and pushing me, telling me I'm ignoring my healthcare advice. Then he looks at my blood pressure. It was slightly elevated. He wrote me a blood pressure medication without looking at my 45-year history of good numbers. I will not be going back. In fact, I will never schedule a doctor's appointment again. EVER. I may need emergency care at some point, accidents, etc. Other than that, I am boycotting US healthcare.
@@jessedevilbiss8436 same here. BP meds almost killed me. Good decision

Police too
Ive diagnosed myself with physician dislike syndrome
You too, huh? Seems like we are enough to soon form a club.
😂. And I am a nurse!
me also
I only used herbs, , fruits n vegetables n water with lemon juice.
The doctors had me on 14 different medications all at once. One day I decided I had had enough of that and without telling the doctors I stopped taking them. Changed my diet to what my son calls “single ingredient” foods. Nothing from a bag or box, and as fresh as possible. Cut out all sugar, seed oils, and processed anything. I ate eggs cooked in real butter on toast with real cheese (all local) with salt&pepper plus hot sauce. Fresh veggies 🥦, fish, poultry, beef, pork and rice or potatoes. Only ate from 11am to 5 pm each day. No sodas or alcohol except a glass of red wine and plenty of water purified in a Berkey system. And NO EXERCISE!! Lost 50 lbs in 3 months and 8” off my waist. BMI of 28% reduced to 15%. Then started lifting weights heavy weights. Funny how after 3 months had blood work done and everything was in the green and no more diabetes! Doctors tried to claim the meds/Rx’s worked until I informed them I had stopped taking pills months ago lol😂 I’m over 50 and my fiancé, who is 24 years younger than me is very pleased and in heaven 2-3 times a day most days😂 STOP TAKING A PILL FOR EVERY LITTLE THING!!!
Thats the food I eat too.
Good Stuff !!! I also preach that thou should only take a pill for dire circumstances. The same sentiment applies for vitamins !! Thou shall only take vitamins when something is obviously wrong regarding ones health. While fixing this 'wrong' with proper food + exercise is the only time thou should take vitamins. Nowadays its easy to lookup what foods have what vitamin in them. (Peanuts are great for vit B btw) The other piece of advice I have is > I made up a diet which was profound for my health :) >> Only purchase foods which are in their actual form veggies need to look like they do while growing. As they exist in nature. Not dried, powder, mix, smoothie, chopped, diced. Only whole form. Grains need to be in grain form. Wheat berries is what wheat in its natural form is called. Wheat berries look like rice but thicker. After you purchase those wheat grains you can do what you want, but you must purchase the food in its real state. Meat is the only gray area caz its kinda hard to purchase a cow. So the rule is just that meat must be like steak / red meat. Not ground beef, pre-seasoned, chili, etc... Spices have to be spices, not mixed, spices look like dried plants. That is cool, just not mixed / salted / preservatives / NOT pre-ground . etc... you can grind your own stuff... That diet was probably the most healthy thing I had ever done. Changed my life.
what an incredibly boring and overly regimented life you must live, and anyone who has to brag about how much sex he has with his much younger fiance is probably lying about it all anyway.

Every time I go on the internet I see warnings about this or that illness. Even my Facebook news Feed is full of ads telling us to check this that.and the other. I'm sick to death of all the health paranoia around today. The media is turning all of us into hypochondriacs.
Absolutely.
@@Misaamanenoir It does seem to be true that today's young are sicker than any previous generation despite all the advances in medical science. Could this be down to genetic drift?
The media doesn’t endorse health paranoia unless it fits a profitable or beneficial narrative to themselves. It chooses what information to make people upset, happy or fearful about. What the media never talks about are the health issues that are caused by our American diet and prescription medicine. They’ve even made it “fatphobic” to talk about health and question what is happening to the health of American citizens and why.
I'm pregnantnso I have to go in for check ups...while I'm waiting they have advertisements for all kinds of shots and meds. I think half of the ads are simply covering all the bad things that can happen to you if you take it ( often including death). A quarter covers the horrible things that might happen to you if you don't (The shingles commercial is especially dramatic). While another quarter encourages people to take the meds as if humanity can't exist without it....
I stopped subscribing to magazines when they all sold out to the pharmaceutical advertisers.What used to be a dollar magazine with ads for useful household items is now a $14.99 collection of drug ads with a few pretty pictures in the mix. Not worth the money.
Metabolic Syndrome is a concert of all of the diseases listed in this video. It can be addressed by diet alone unless you believe you don’t posses the will to follow a healthy lifestyle.
100%!
The side effects after taking a prescription, is worse than the first sight of illness
True
Using weights and even walking can also increase bone density and doesn’t come with the risk of your jaw being eaten away.
Doctors should explain everything before prescribing any addictive pharma drug. No different than street drugs.
😂 Over here, they make money out of the addictive nature. They shove aggressive and criminal (minor crimes) migrants into psych wards, drug them up over a peroid of 6 weeks, kick them, they run into withdrawal and s*** hits the fan. And then our right winged people scream, it's the migrants. And the left wing screams for more "health care"... Insanity per design.

Society thinks that anti depressants are the answer to a sick society.
Yes they say it is in your head
Antidepressants changed my brain chemistry at 14. I can't get off of them without being completely miserable. I tried for almost a year, had to go back on. I'm extremely angry at the psychiatrist and my parents for subjecting me to these drugs when I was being a normal teenager.
We live in a corrupt world, where corporate greed is in control.
There is so much spending on unnecessary things that hurt people much more than they help. Over priced coffee drinks, vaping, readily available crap that has low to no nutrition marketed as food. The pharmaceutical's that so many people assume they have to take to remain alive because their parents & even grandparents trusted the doctors who got them hooked. Having watched a woman I knew, who is 10 years younger than me, get suckered into taking so many meds, she has to use 2 large organizers for all of the meds she takes. She was going to the gym with me for a while, began feeling better, looking better. Then, she stopped because, she said, a doctor told her to. She just didn't want to keep up a healthy exercise regimen because it's easier to sit on her butt all day, play on her phone & computer. The truth is that her whole family lives on restaurant junk every day which makes all of them sick in varying degrees.
I got into this when I went in for a surgery and then ended up getting hooked on Percocets, all kinds of pills, never shot up because I was afraid of needles, but I blew 150k, lost my marriage of 20 years, everything. Thank k god my father was around to help me and let me heal. Thankfully I made it out and both of my kids got to see what pills can do to you and the doctors had no problem giving me whatever. This was back in 2010-11, I know I'm a rare case, but my kids and ex-wife are all I thought of and I was determined to get off the pills. I wish more would see that normal health is awesome. Pills were hiding other pains from my life. God bless all those trying to get off and get help, you can do it!✌️👍🙏👊❤️
Never take medication, not one. Always avoided it. When in pain, I breathe through it. The body can heal by itself.
That's an awesome story goid for you to push through abd succeed big pharma is not the way to go..
I am so sorry. So so sorry.
Sad story of the rich and privileged... NOT
🤗🤗🤗 💜
One thing I've noticed for sure, is that many doctors (influenced by big pharma) will promote medications to solve problems without first trying to address the issue naturally with things like lifestyle changes, seeing a therapist, seeing a dietician, etc. Oftentimes issues can be remedied this way instead of by a lifetime of medications that often work against the person. I know that my cholesterol skyrocketed due to side effects of another unnecessary medication I was on. And I was told to take a statin rather than try dietary changes first. The only advice doctors usually give on this is "lose weight", but since that wasn't an issue for me it was straight to the medication. I had an awful reaction to a statin that came on gradually, like many women who are on the smaller side. I came off of it as soon as I realized the medication was causing my issues (it took 2 years!) Since then I've cut down my saturated fat intake to 12g per day and my LDL cholesterol is near normal. I literally fixed the issue well enough on my own. And now that I don't have statin-induced exercise intolerance, I am active and healthier than before.
Cholesterol is good for your health. Drug companies and doctors are liars.
Like how did we survive this long without all this unnecessary crap?!
Miracle...you only see ones that survived 😅
I remember going to a workshop with an ex-pharmaceutical company employee who worked to market their drugs. She gave the example of fibromyalgia. They had a drug that they were trying to use for something else (I think it was depression), but it wasn’t doing very well, so the company literally asked what the drug worked for, clustered those symptoms together, and made up the name fibromyalgia! The medical system in the U.S. is great for emergencies/acute issues but sucks for ANY chronic problem. They are trained to see a symptom as THE problem and write a prescription - that’s it! They have no idea how to even go to root cause, and if they did, the majority of them would be put out of business. The majority, if not all, of the chronic disease we have today is brought on by inflammation, which is often caused by insulin resistance. People disagree on the diet to help (I like a low carb one with fasting that allows the body to lower insulin and puts the body into a state called ketosis, which is the cleanest fuel for the body). BUT, if you don’t agree with that, then, at a minimum, eliminate sugar, all processed foods, and vegetable/seed oils, and that will help immensely. Add in some fasting, meaning don’t eat from the time you wake up to when you go to sleep, stick to a max of three meals a day, and don’t snack, and that will also help. Another point to make is to never pay attention to the mainstream nutrition research. Nowadays, it’s bought and paid for by big food. And we have been lied to for DECADES about saturated fat and sugar. First, Ancel Keys cherry picked the countries he used in his study about diet and heart health. He picked the countries that agreed with his hypothesis and left out the ones that didn’t. Then, add to that the fact that the sugar industry paid researchers to say that saturated fat/cholesterol was the problem, not sugar. For all you doubters out there, this was actually reported in the article in JAMA. Then, add how much of an influence the Seventh Day Adventists (vegans) had early on in heading the agencies that determine the U.S. dietary guidelines, and no wonder you have the food pyramid suggesting mostly carbs. After all, one key Adventist is Kellogg, the guy who created Kellogg’s cereal.
Very well put. When i found out about kellogg's and his theory about eating protein and sexual drive, it blew my mind. And i agree with everything you said drop sugar at a minnimum, but do not, i repeat DO NOT replace it with any man made sugar replacements. They are so much worse and dangerous, they can cause cancer, eating your brain, and so much more
Great answer, more people wake up. Let’s keep spreading the word ❤
You are on the right track. What we eat and inactivity are the real cause. Whole food plant base. Been on it for years and never look back.
You are so right! The KETO diet has gotten many off prescription drugs so now they are starting to censor the success of it and people who advocate it. Nutrition is totally ignored. Now they have politicized eating MEAT and want you to eat PLANTS - a totally unhealthy diet. You can not get all the protein you need from plants as well as other nutrients that MEAT offers. We eat "CLIMATE CHANGE CRIMINALS" at least four times a week and the other days it is wild caught seafood. For MEAT, it is antibiotic free, pasture raised and fed beef. We'll pass on eating BUGS as a substitute for MEAT and PROTEIN. You will never find the people that push BUGS. to stop "climate change", eating BUGS. Ever! That's for you; not for them.
Thank you for sharing this information with us. 🙏
I recommend the book „Anatomy of an Epidemic „ by Robert Whittaker. I am convinced that the mental problems being experienced by large swathes of western youth are in no small part caused by massively over prescribed psychopharmaceuticals. Parents, protect your children!
I had to tell my doctor i was getting off prescription meds and to please help monitor any symptoms as i cut down further into nothing. He's doing it although not encouraging it. He's got to protect himself from the one eyed cabalist employer.
But why did Shirley keep taking the drug? Why didn’t she and loved ones do research this? They tried to push Boniva on me….I asked whether after a year or two a bone density test would show increased bone density and was told, “no, it doesn’t show up.” I never went back, and notice they never prescribe regular aerobic exercise and balance training to prevent falls.
After taking Epilim for a year I had gained 53 kilograms, my nearves were shot I couldn't hold a pen or a cup and my hair had fallen out. Also In that first year I lost my gallbladder after nine months and my appendix. Both of which I put down to trying to keep my weight down because my doctor wouldn't change my medication. That was thirty years ago, I'm still overweight and my hair has never regrown properly. That drug, should never have been put on the market.
They want customers not cures, hey?
there's no money in being healthy
How right you are😂
Naturopaths and Holistic are the best doctors.
Agreed, but you really don't need either one if you just trust in the Soirit of Truth and not any man. He will guide you to the right knowledge or just take care of it Himself by either healing you or prompting you to fast and pray. This has been my experience. I've seen naturopathy miss the most obvious magnesium deficiency to the point that the patient had a half dozen major symptoms, one being potentially fatal.

They just prescribe a bunch of unproven supplements so not much better.
Used to read my Doctor fathers "medical journals". They were a SEA of Big Pharma Ads on Every Page.
Metabolic syndrome is defined now as having 3 of 5 symptoms, which are high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, high fasting glucose, low HDL and high triglycerides. If you have only 2, you don't have it even though if you have high blood pressure and abdominal obesity, this could kill you too. Also low HDL combined with high triglycerides are also a huge risk factor for heart disease. Basically, this movie is dead on. The medical system creates fake disease to sell products. High cholesterol is a fake disease that has never been proven to cause heart disease, true fact.
You are bloody dead right mate 👌 all the best from Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Hi cholesterol is not even a disorder or an illness. My grandmother got addicted to drugs when she didn't even need them for her high cholesterol. People don't even die from that.
My own doctor even told me about big pharma. It’s a crazy business. We have to be our own health advocate. Eat healthy, exercise, focus on what brings joy, peace, and meaning to our lives. May we all take care of our overall health and well-being. ❤🌎🙏🏼😊
without my consent, my opthamologist gave me a dry eye test....I knew I had dry eye already because of my age. The test cost me $200 and for nothing.
If you haven’t already paid it You can write a letter refuting the charges and then forget about it. He won’t be able to collect it because you, in writing, refuted the charges based on what you know. I refuse to let them rip me off anymore. A collection agency guy told me to do this. If you put it on a credit card it’s a bit more trouble but doable. Write the letter to the doctor, then contact your card company & dispute the charge. It’s easier to get resolution if you pay with PayPal.
That's a natural process of aging. You can buy OTC replenishing moisture eye drops or place a clean, cool, damp cloth over your eyes for a few minutes. Does not require special testing nor prescriptions. That was nothing but a scam to get extra money out of you. It is a common one I've heard about.
keep in mind these days that doctors are like mechanics. you can present an issue, and every single one of them will have a different diagnosis and treatment or repair advice. its all about the money money money.
True
I never had metabolic syndrome, but when I entered into my 40s, I was feeling pudgy and sick. I went keto and no more icky feeling nor risk for metabolic syndrome.
Same. I went Keto a few months ago. I've lost 30 pounds, and my bp and glucose went from borderline dangerous to beautiful and normal.
3 yrs keto and never looking back. 💚

Like a lot of other comments and your Grandma told you...? "You are what you eat. Garbage in, Garbage out."
In the U.S. on basic cable there are ads for pharmaceuticals 24 hours a day for all 7 days. They are constant. Some of them are horrendous: the ones for asthma are often scary as is the one for shingles (and I sincerely doubt 1 in 3 adults will get shingles in this lifetime.) There is one for ecsema that uses really unpleasant sound to freshen the unpleasantness of the condition in the minds of those who suffer from it. The point i make here is that these ads, being so prevalent and continuous, are just as much pushing the pharmaceutical "solution" as the more direct stories you report on, and just as much, ore even more, about profit for the companies. Moreover, WE are paying for these ads in hiked up prices, which in U.S. are already sickenly high. Next up rival for pushing (like drugs pushing) fantasy and sickness are the now ever-increasing ads for on-line gambling and "the joy of winning." Yeah.
I have not watched commercial television in well over a decade. Dumping TV and its ads is life changing.
Then there are also the commercials about if you suffered from serious side effects from a certain drug, call so and so law office immediately to get compensation. Just so much fear pushing about what if you have a disease and what if you suffer from a particular drug.
I feel sorry for the people that actually fall for drug and vaccine ads and poison themselves and their children. We've been there 😢

Many list side effects as death.
When our health is based on shareholders profits....
Thank you so much for this. I personally know a dietician who confirmed that most of the diseases ppl catch are lifestyle and diet related. She works for the hospitals, and says doctors only refer her to patients when they are in a later stage of a disease or pre-surgery. In other words, they only tell the patients to change their diet as a way to control their disease but rarely as a preventive measure of the disease before it strikes.
Live vegan. Whole-food vegan not bio-engineered vegan.
Humans need b vitamins and protein and all is needed is in meat. Many people are going carnivore and feeling better on animal based diets.
Mr underrated: If the meat or beef you're eating is from cows fed genetically modified corn, injected with illegal hormones and antibiotics, etc.. your not only NOT getting any health benefits but you're also harming your body. I had 7 year old girls menstruating when I was a teacher in central los Angeles. Many of these children eat low quality meat at fast food restaurants EVERY DAY.
@@christinanielsen1917 Another thing that causes this is the prices of organic vs inorganic and the proximity of those to locally grown food sources.
Thanks for exposing the low practices of the pharmaceutical industry, I only wish some British documentary makers would investigate these things.
Please read the book Evidence of Harm by David Kirby. Google the Hungarian scientist working in england researching the " benefits" of gmos in our food only to find how dangerous they were. He appeared on British TV and was praised by everyone except monsanto ( now Bayer). Pres. Clinton was contacted by monsanto who then contacted Tony Blair who called his supervisors and he was fired. I believe I read about his experience reading the book Mad Cowboy. The author was sued along with Oprah Winfrey by the cattle ranchers of Texas for showing diseased cows with cancerous tumors( removed before slaughter which doesn't make it cleaned as cancer already spread throughout the cow) and then slaughtered and refed to other cows. I may have also heard about the British/ Hungarian scientist on radio kfpk on democracy now with Amy Goodman. Please note that Hilary Clinton was receiving $10,000 each time she gave a speech to the employees of monsanto while she was a senator. These speeches were all on KZhead but mysteriously disappeared. She is praising monsanto for " feeding the world". Surely she used her position as a senator to make sure proper testing and research wasn't followed. Monsanto also created agent Orange and Round up the weed killer with glyphosite A poison. All these pesticides and medications are all related. The British government was on the side of the meat industry in England and also the pharmaceutical industry in England is the only country in Europe besides Germany that is also on the side of people's demise for profit. Remember the British fashion editor who died from taking " safe" fertility drugs. Her last name was Tilberis. My cousin also died taking fertility drugs in England. Oprah did an entire show on how many women are dying from taking these drugs. Yet today I still listen to doctors pushing their fertility treatments lying by saying the fertility medications leave your body immediately. Nothing will change until people wake up and refuse these poisons ( including in their food) I remember eating Linda McCartneys frozen food I got from Mark's and Spencer's. This was in early 1990s. She was the first to make me aware what " might" be in our food.
Metabolic syndrome is headed off by having a two-hour postprandial blood glucose test to discover hyperinsulinemia. I don’t have any of the symptoms described in the video, but I handle sugar horribly. The solution is exercise and a low carb, high healthy fat, high plant fiber diet. US doctors don’t use this test. They wait until the patient is diabetic or pre-diabetic and then medicate.
Myself. Bi polar. I change my mind depending on which people I feel I need to help. People Pleasing? Yep. Dropped the meds and focus on myself. Yeah...I don't mind hearing about your problems, wants or needs. I just need to stop right there. I do not need to solve the issue
First create a fictional illness convince the people that have it then sell them a drug to treat it; circular reasoning for profit.
Voila... Covid!!
More of this research work should be done‼️ The big risk is big pharma and their medical alliances‼️
Greednes and lies of psihopats are the real dangers
Advertising use exageration. Exagerate can sometimes look like a lie.
If selling is the main goal and profit also
I went to a drug store and looked at all the different headache medicines, extra strength, migraine, etc and it had all the same ingredients lol
The migraine products here in Scandinavia are, based on my own experience, expensive and useless; one single 400 mg Ibuprofen pill and a 200 mg caffeine pill will not make you feel great again, however it will make it possible for you to get through the day.
Bravo. Standing ovation from South Australia.
The food companies producing ultra processed foods are predominatetly to blame
Absolutely. The chemical companies are making this junk and then they're making drugs to keep us sick. You can't win you keep buying this stuff.
Hidden sugars in all of it.
Drained of vitamins and full of harmful chemicals.
The pharmaceutical industry bought the processed food industry back in the early 1980s. As part of their perpetual business model. That's when chemicals replaced food ingredients. Did a paper on it in college back in the 1990s.
Need instant energy ?? Take your shoes off , feel the earth then walk to a tree and lean with your back against the tree . You're welcome ☺
WHAT A SICK WORLD!! Soooo dissapointing.
Your 1 billion % true. The people is Sick. Because of luck of knowledge.
In journey through medical education and training it became obvious to me that SOMETIMES money drives which drugs physicians prescrive. It left such a vad taste in mt mouth that I changed my interest from an office based future career to a career where I would only use drugs tgat my patient absolutely needed. Anesthesiology allows that choice. I also chose to never do cases that were not medically becessary - no elective plastic surgeries. 30 years later I am so glad I chose not to be chasing the next great pill to treat the most lucrative disease of the day.
Were do you work?
This must go viral
Watching the facial expressions and body language of those doctors and others being interviewed is very interesting. You can see that they're lying if you know what to look for!
very smug body language. I saw that as well.
Listen for the gaslighting strawman arguments.
I think they focused on body language when they were interviewing
Metabolic syndrome is acta real thing. However, pharmaceutical solution is not a solution. It's first and foremost giving up carbs. Hence people are mostly reluctant to do it, it's easy to bait them by magic pill. Sweet-bitter truth. I've been doing keto & fasting for three years now, with great results and no pharmaceutical. But I also see how defensive people can get when I talk about giving up carbs or therapeutic fasting.
Doctors just don't believe. It's that simple. It's going to take another forty years for people to wake up. Australia.
The problem I see is that we who know what these companies are up to still buy their products. And that shows that we don't care hour evil they are. I am not advocating huge sacrifices or boycotting what is really necessary. There are lots of products that we consume that either we don't need our clearly have other options. I stay healthy and will exhaust all natural options before I reach for pills made by these companies. I spend less than a couple cents a year in total on pills/ doctors.
more of this investigative documentary must be made!!! bravo
Thank you for your reporting! We need more journalism like this..
People ask me how I'm so healthy? I don't go to the dr.s office!!!!
Thank you for such a thorough investigation x wow amazing journalism
The craziest thing about their tests, the seem to never once have stopped to think that if the people that took a placebo and had positive results, that just maybe half of the people that took the drug had the same affect. The placebo effect. Think about it!!!
Remember this👉 if its urgent or if its for emergency we need pills or medication for that or maybe an anesticia for surgery. But if its not emergency and you need a permanent healing dont replace herbs medicine and healthy diet with pills and tablets. Thats where they go wrong
So true
This is so true. Also, if you go the route of pharmaceuticals, you cannot mix them with natural herbs. I always wondered why there are labels put on vitamins "this product does not cure or prevent disease". That just makes me think it most certainly does. They can't patent anything natural, so they try to eliminate it. When my mom got a rare cancer, they not only did the cut, burn, poison on her, but then told her she could only eat white, refined, literal junk food devoid of any nutrients. Their excuse was that she was too weak from the cancer. She was weak from the highly toxic load of chemotherapy drugs they pedalled to her. It makes me sick. She fought so hard to live the 3 years since her diagnosis. It was pure hell, but they don't care!
BAN PHARMA ADS!! Selling us the idea we are sick and MUST take their drugs. Promotes anxiety, neurosis, hypochondria
Ancestral diet, keto diet, intermittent fasting are healthy. Stay away from refinated vegetables and seed oils, sugar and processes flour and food.
Super awesome Documentary! My sincere thanks and appreciation to y'all . Insightful, thought-provoking and Commonsensical !
Cure of metabolic syndrome is real food. Only eat meat, fish, chicken, eggs and some green leafy veggies. Avoid at ALL cost sugar, fructose, grains and carbs, alcohol especially beer and ALL processed food which is everything that has more than 1-2 ingredients. I've been on keto and now on carnivore 'diet' I'm 63 never felt better. Lost over 20 kg and my blood work and numbers are top notch.
Another good idea would be to tackle all the pollution in the environment, especially plastic.
I am always in keto.
KETO is their worst nightmare because it works! We fast, no snacking and often go OMAD. We LOVE MEAT so we eat up those "climate change criminals." A plant diet is very unhealthy
Systems nutritionist at mentabolist
Big Pharm propagating hypochondria. The sad thing is that the masses buy into it and then need more meds to treat the side affects and even more to treat those. I just now read the comment beow the one I'm writing now and she is 💯spot on!
Elevated blood pressure and increased cholesterol production are not root causes of diseased states. To the contrary: Both symptoms had been proven to be associated with decreased mortality risk. Instead of demonising and fearing these and other natural adaptations of the Intelligently Designed human body; let's rather be appreciative of these efforts towards securing our survival when subjected to physical-, chemical-, and/or emotional stressors.
There’s a drug for just about any conditions, real or imagined. Drug companies make profit centers out of human suffering.
Aren't doctors part of the problem? Most medical doctors are horrible at their jobs and cause untold amounts of harm to their patients!
LoL... My favorite voice over guy from those Dangerous Roads videos!
But all of those factors generally fall under 1 umbrella; the need to reduce weight. But with a healthy diet that can be accomplished without a marketed pill...which adds to a doctors coffers. A pill for this, a pill for that, an injection for something else. We are almost walking billboards for pharmaceuticals. Go spread the good news! You know what else I'm taking!!!
Anything to keep from the truth. So many sick people can be cured with a proper diet and exercise. In this day and age of working from computers and the endless pursuit of pleasure seeking, diet and exercise are the last things many people consider doing. They look for insta cures like shots and pilla
Dr. Sebi tried to warn folks but till today very few understand!
Thanks for this docu! It exhibits the strategies of the pharma giants in a great way!
Health lies in the lap of mother nature .eat what comes from hardworking farmers farm without pesticides,gmo seeds original nature & not packed food be it any . Healthy eating,active lifestyle,early to rise early to bed ,positive thoughts,gratitude,always be thankful to almighty GOD & there will be no illnesses.
Well said
Very interesting and eye opening documentary.
When some of these doctors and assorted other people working for the pharmaceutical industry are being pressed by a real journalist, or in a deposition by a lawyer, their answers and body language is very much liked those of the post WWII defendants at the Nuremberg trials.
This is ridiculous!! Don’t people listen to their bodies?
Excellent documentary 👏
Even though my dad is older we still spend a lot of time together.he have always mentioned how he has to take these blood pressure pills almost everyday. One day I just curiously asked him to show me the pills.then I ask was they working?did they recommend you to any other method of better blood pressure?,you been taking these pills for like 3 years and nothing change?it's clear that the root of issue diet and activity.and why even recommend pills
EXCELLENT VIDEO. Great reporting. THANK YOU sincerely 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!! Try to stay away from these rx poisons unless there's no other choice
