FDA Protects Drug Companies Again?
Prescribing labels for Merck & Co's drugs for baldness and enlarged prostate will add reports of sexual side effects that continued after use of the medicines was stopped, U.S. health regulators said. Labels will be revised for Proscar, which treats symptoms of enlarged prostate, and hair-loss treatment Propecia, the Food and Drug Administration said. The active ingredient in both drugs is finasteride. The Propecia label will now include notification of problems with libido, ejaculation and orgasms that continued after use of the drug was ended. Proscar's label will include notification of decreased libido. – Reuters
Dominant Social Theme: So long as the FDA is on the case, we're fine with it.
Free-Market Analysis: We have just written several articles on regulation and suddenly we see our points in action. In the excerpt (above) we observe quite clearly what we call "regulatory capture."
The FDA supervises foods and drugs throughout the US but we cannot help but think the REAL reason for the FDA is to protect drug companies.
Drug companies and the power elite we write about often are closely aligned, in our view. When one examines the ownership of drug companies, familiar names are found at the top, the same individuals that seem to control central banking and even most if not all of mainstream media.
These dynastic families and their enablers and associates want to run the world it seems. Controlling medicine and what goes into people's bodies is an important part of building a global governance that has power over people's minds and lives.
Drug companies are the foundation of the Western medical model that is gruesomely efficient at creating a certain kind of society and medical consumer. Individuals are taught not to question their drug intake. Experts are trotted out to explain why medicine as currently constituted is "good" for you.
Likely it is not. There are other models, ancient ones such as acupuncture and herbal remedies. There is naturopathy that rejects the modern medical model entirely and claims that sicknesses may be in part symptoms of the body's attempts to get well.
As we have long predicted, medicine, like so much other "accepted wisdom" is being continually debunked during the growth of what we call the Internet Reformation. Much that people believed in is being questioned these days.
This also happened after the invention of the Gutenberg Press, from what we can tell. Then, much that society had been organized around began to be examined more critically, including the Catholic Church.
Recently, we discovered that vaccines were never double-blind tested for reasons having to do with "ethics."
But given all we've learned about the Way the World Really Works, we wouldn't be surprised if the real reason that vaccines were never scientifically tested has to do with the many side effects that are now becoming well known thanks to the Internet.
There is generally increased skepticism when it comes to so many of the elite's dominant social themes, whether they be global warming, the war on terror, or the efficacy of modern Western medicine. Here's what Mike Adams, the "health ranger," had to say about the FDA's announcement regarding Merck:
Hey, men! Looking for a way to ruin your sex life and become infertile? Try Propecia or Proscar, two drugs from the vaccine giant Merck, whose top vaccine scientist Dr. Maurice Hilleman already admitted that Merck's vaccines contained "stealth viruses" that cause cancer.
Now, the FDA is finally – after years of delays and denials – calling for new warnings on the labels of male baldness drugs made by Merck. According to the FDA, Propecia and Proscar are now linked to:
• Ejaculation disorders (oops!)
• Libido disorders (not tonight, honey)
• Orgasm disorders (still nothing?)
• Erectile dysfunction (life is hard, but you're not)
• Male infertility (you're firing blanks, dude...)
And the best part about these male baldness drugs? These effects continue even after you stop using the drugs! ... So let's see: A guy starts to go bald and thinks his male virility is slowly slipping away, but at least he can still get erections without pills, he thinks to himself. So he reaches for Propecia or Proscar to solve his male baldness problem. But a month later, he might have another tuft of hair on his head, but his manhood has gone soft. And five months down the road, he's got so much hair that "chicks are digging me!" but in bed he's softer than a baseball bat made of Jell-O.
Adams also makes the point that in order to have an erection, a man taking baldness drugs might have to take ANOTHER drug like Viagra in order to have sex. This benefits drug companies but not the rest of us.
While the labels on the two baldness drugs will change, the larger issues remain the same. To an ordinary individual it would seem that the FDA's real business is protecting drug manufacturers not consumers.
DB contributor Ron Holland pointed this out in an article he wrote a while back entitled, "You'd Have To Be Crazy To Start a Global Business in the USA – As a Public Company." In the article, he mentioned that he has taken on the position of CEO of a start-up hair company. He wrote the following:
Actually, the United States will lose all the way around with this venture, at least for now. No American will be able to access the treatment in the US before we receive FDA approval, which will probably take years unless they travel outside the country. This delayed business in America will result in lost tax revenue for a federal government that is desperate for revenue.
Second, many hair-loss suffers will wish to seek immediate treatment rather than waiting on regulatory approval in their home countries. Fortunately, some countries, including popular international travel destinations, have positioned themselves as centers for innovation by avoiding paralyzing regulations.
The company that Ron Holland joined is called Biologix Hair Inc. (write to Mr. Holland there) and produces a mostly all-natural injectable solution that utilizes minerals, nutrients and vitamins to re-generate hair growth. It's treated thousands privately over the years with great results – roughly 9 of every 10 people treated re-grow their natural hair.
No reduction of the blood flow to the pelvis. No impotence. No need for Viagra.
The company has announced a treatment that revives dormant hair follicles that have been encapsulated in the scalp and effectively "frozen." The treatments developed by Biologix affiliated researchers unlock these hair cells and allow them to grow again.
Conclusion: A company like Biologix – based on nutrition and vitamin therapy – probably wouldn't have had much of a chance to be noticed pre-Internet. But with the constant exposures of the West's drug-oriented medical model and its many problems, the West's 20th century medical paradigm is beginning to crumble, or at least to be exposed. May the 21st century be freer and healthier than the 20th.

I don't want this thread to end on a sour note. Here are a couple of other things that will make money for the medical industry.

I'm surprised that there aren't more posts here.
Historically, man's lifespan was limited by;
Water borne parasites
Lack of nutrition
Man cleaned up his water so GOV added fluoride
Man discovered how to use carbon energy to produce food energy.
So, GOV came along and added gunk and junk to his food.
This isn't a new problem.
'If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.' - Thomas Jefferson -
GOV is now in the process of prohibiting vitamins.

The alopathic medical industry is in full battle with the naturopathic doctors.

The problem is that naturopathic medicine is just too effective and too cheap.
Since GOV hasn't had much success at regulating reproductivity, it has to do population reduction farther down the line.
We get bad water; fluoride
We get bad food; HFCS and trans fats
We get bad air; Click to view link
Naturopathic medicine offers solutions to all of this.
Worse yet, it offers multiple ways to extend lifespan.
Resveratrol extends life span by 40 %
Super oxide dimutase is also very effective for this.
Astragalus reverses aging by lengthening the telemeres.
Naturopathic medicine is a threat to the income of doctors and big pharma.
It is also a danger to those who have historically and constantly worked to reduce lifespan and population.
Stem cell therapy and gene therapy are the new threats to population reduction.
They are VERY effective and reasonably cheap. Everywhere that you look there are new opportunities to improve health and extend lifespan.
THAT is why I believe that this "economic armageddon" will be used to effect a drastic culling.
When social security was instituted, the initial age was 65 back when the average lifespan was 59 years. That has all changed. GOV is run like a corporation and GOV wants to cut out it's non-performing assets. ALL indications are that GOV will default by the end of summer. Walter Burien shows good proofs that GOV has amassed hundreds of $ trillions.

One would expect that GOV could use this money to avoid bankruptcy.
The PTB will NOT do that. GOV will default. The safety net will come to a sudden stop. Those who rely on GOV support will die. GOV will drastically cut it's liabilities. This is nothing new. The British East India company, first managed by a jew, Joseph Salvador was able to maintain the population of India at 200 million for a full century.

Dear Bell, I already posted about HFCS in infant formula. By it's very nature, it causes obesity. Not to be outdone by BIG pharma, the health insurance industry works hard to bring you death and suffering.

Back in the old days,the FDA refused to approve aspartame,,, because it was / is a deadly neurotoxin. It is one of the very few things that will kill fire ants.

Snopes says,, no
"From 1965 to 1981, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) refused to approve aspartame"

But, then, along came Donald Rumsfeld as the new president of Searle. He got approval shoved through.
I could go on and on with dozens of cites. I'll just give one more,,, I'm hungry :)
In the 40s, Intravenous chelation was developed because of all the deaths in the workers of war industry at battery factories. IV chelation takes out all the excess metals. It generally leaves everything that is needed.
These metals build up in the blood stream and elsewhere. The presence of the excess metals causes arterial plaque to build up.
IV chelation removes the Metals and excess minerals. Cleans out the circulatory system very well. ANATHEMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many hospitals make 30 % of revenue from cardiac patients. No EFFFING way are they going to allow IV chelation.
On his deathbed, Louis Pasteur admitted that it is the "terrain" and NOT the infectious agent. All these metals that we absorb make very weakened terrain to "host" various pathogens. So, what is the next obvious step?????????????????
Eliminate the bad terrain by eliminating the metals / cause. Taken to it's next logical step, apply that to cancer.

The VAST majority have NO idea how bad they are being screwed by the medical establishment. BTW, cancers need lots of energy. They like sugar and they LOVE HFCS.
If you examine the profitability of HFCS and a few other items, you see that direct profits are only secondary. The enormous profits are made by the disease-industry, not the HFCS and Aspartame producer. Diabetes is referred to as a wonderful investment opportunity.

Unfortunately this is so true.
The drug companies exercise way too much influence over American medicine. In fact a doctor can only legally prescribe FDA approved "drugs" with all of their side effects. High fructose corn syrup in all processed foods, meats with antibiotics, crops raised with toxic pesticides, and hydrogenated oils all contribute to Cancer, Obesity & Heart Disease which leads to astronomical monies spent on health care. Great system from the cradle to the grave.

I wish Mr. Holland the best with his investment. But I would guess if his product is all natural he will probably get harassment instead of FDA approval in the US. Can't have those good-for-you things competing with the killer drugs, can they?
As for male baldness, I would say they are blessed. Hair is SO over rated. :-)

Down with the medical establishment.
I hardly have a good review for today's medical institutions. The only thing they were good for me was trauma care (broken leg), otherwise it was just my dealers (oops I mean doctors) stabbing in the dark while throwing whatever pills were currently in the rage my way.
Once I was on a anti-depressant which was absolutely the worst thing ever. I enjoy the side-effects for months after I stopped taking it (this weird electric-like "zapping" feeling you get in your brain-stem). This drug made no sense and felt like it was made to get me hooked. Sometimes I can't believe doctors are prescribing this stuff, but after experiencing the state of the university system for a few years I guess I shouldn't be.
After I tossed those toxins down the toilet I never trusted the medical establishment again and I have been on the road towards a natural, organic diet and medicinal lifestyle which has increased the quality of my life immensely. I never would have found out alternative remedies to my IBS without the Internet or deal with it so effectively as I can now.
Sooner or later one has to realize people are now sicker than ever yet we live in "modern" society? There is something dreadfully wrong here.
