PAID TROLLS--Re: What really happens with MMS in the body--

[Guest guest]

The strategy that has made the pharmaceutical industry one of the wealthiest and

most powerful on Earth is finally starting to betray it. Beginning in just a few

weeks, and continuing over the next several years, some of the biggest-selling

and most profitable drugs in history will lose their patent protection. …The

real problem is that the industry's scientists have hit a dry spell. They are

not discovering enough new drugs to replace the aging standbys. Last year, the

U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved just 19 new medicines, according to

preliminary data, the fewest since 1983. Lost in all the hand-wringing on Wall

Street is a recognition of how the industry got itself into this fix in the

first place. For 25 years, the drug industry has imitated the basic business

model of Hollywood. Pharmaceutical executives, like movie moguls, have focused

on creating blockbusters. …The strategy had a flaw that executives have long

ignored: It required extraordinary amounts of promotion at the expense of

scientific creativity. To make the strategy work, the drug industry put its

marketers in charge; scientists were given a back seat. Is it any wonder that

executives at many companies have watched their pipelines of new drugs slow to a

trickle?

The article goes on to detail depraved and doomed business model of the Big

Pharma execs, who the author notes are now much more likely to be former

marketing gurus than M.D.s. Their " blockbuster " objective has not only

diminished the role of scientists (and science!) within the companies, it's

pushed out the vision of developing drugs for truly life-threatening medical

conditions (as opposed to common " symptoms " ) in this country and abroad, such as

malaria, which the article notes, " kills a child every 30 seconds. "

An article in The New Yorker last week highlighted the growth of " medical

philanthropies " that devote their dollars to the development of treatments for

medical conditions the pharmaceutical industry sees no financial motivation to

invest in. The foundation leader profiled was none other than a former Big

Pharma exec who set up her own medical philanthropy after developing myeloma, a

form of cancer with relatively few treatment options and a grim prognosis. Is it

too much to ask for these corporations to cure real diseases?

It's no surprise to us that Big Pharma is headed for a big fall. The faster the

better, we say. Their marketing ploys, which have preyed upon the fears and lack

of medical knowledge (Do we all need to go to medical school now to protect

ourselves?) in the general public are more than a greedy sham; they're a crime.

These companies don't answer for the deaths associated with premature

distribution and advertising of drugs, like Vioxx, that haven't been thoroughly

tested for longer term safety issues across a wide range of people. They don't

answer for the debilitating side effects of their happy commercial jingle drugs,

side effects that many patients will live with for the rest of their lives. Come

in with slightly " elevated " cholesterol levels and a couple years later (and

many dollars poorer) be left with debilitating muscle pain. And those pesky

little lawsuits? With multi-billion dollar profits every year, the payouts are

momentary inconveniences, simple drops in the bucket.

For now, however, Big Pharma will continue its " blockbuster model. " As the

article noted, Eli Lilly is now beginning the marketing initiative for its newly

approved daily version of Cialis. And millions of Americans (in this case, men)

will ask their doctor about it at their next appointments. Clearly, Big Pharma

is going to suck this model dry, trodding along, eyeing the public in typical

ravenous fashion. Follow the Pied Piper, ladies and gents.

of what is actually happening. I'm concerned about problems within the body such

as oxidation and free radicals.
