QUOTES

 “The pharmaceutical industry is the most lucrative, the most cynical and the least ethical of all the industries," Dr. Philippe Even tells The Guardian. "It is like an octopus with tentacles that has infiltrated all the decision-making bodies:  world health organizations, government agencies, parliaments, high administrations in health and hospitals and the medical profession." Author of "The Guide to the 4,000 Useful, Useless or Dangerous Medicines" http://www.fiercepharma.com/story/official-french-report-trashes-pharma-calls-many-drugs-useless/2012-09-14

 

 

We certainly are in a health care crisis, ... If we had set out to design the worst system that we could imagine, we couldn't have imagined one as bad as we have.”

 Marcia Angell quote

 




In 2011 having realized that scientific fraud was the norm for industry funded work and their key opinion leaders (KOLs), I restarted a new grouping of articles.  Four key areas are bad drugs, medical myths, the harm done by the Western diet, and what to do about it.   All those with a “/r” (for “recommended”) have been posted since 2011.

There is grass-root revulsion to the current corporate health industry, with pharma doing the most harm.  The best account of bad pharma is by Danish Prof. Peter Gotzsche in his 2013 book Deadly Medicine and Organised Crime:  How big pharma has corrupted healthcare.  Prof. Gotzsche’s book has won the British Medical Book Award given by the BMA (British Medical Association which is comparable to our AMA).  Further endorsement comes from the Richard Smith former Editor-in-Chief of the BMJ (British Medical Journal) and Drummond Rennie, Deputy Editor of JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) which are 2 of the 4 leading English medical journal.   The President’s Lecture on YouTube by Harvard Professor Marcia Angell confirms Prof. Gotzsche’s book. Pharma is worse than you can imagine.       


 


Harvard Prof. Marcia Angell, MD., former Chief Editor of NEJM wrote:  We certainly are in a health care crisis, ... If we had set out to design the worst system that we could imagine, we couldn't have imagined one as bad as we have.”  Author of the Truth About Drug Companies, and former Editor in Chief of NEJM.  Her excellent lecture on YouTube presenting the evidence

#158   RECOMMENDED SECTION GUIDE  Gateway to the research on treatments and health which often is contrary to the pharma’s marketing science.    

CURRENT EVENTS  --  Starting with JKs retirement in Oct 2012, a new collection of articles mostly written by JK were posted under the heading of recommended.  These articles are based upon the fact that pharma consistently applies tobacco ethics, thus I start by questioning everything that could have been modified by pharma for marketing goals (unless it is supported by basic cellular biology).  From there I examine the journal literature and medical books.  I pay carefully attention to older medical wisdom and to the critics.  Using this base I arrive at the best evidenced based conclusions.  My university education in science (10 courses) and 2 years of graduate school in Philosophy have laid this foundation which has been developed further by my continuing studies in health sciences, which moved forward in 1981 when I purchased a new pharmacology textbook by Goodman and Gilman.  Since then I have purchased 15 more.  I started healthfully.org in 2004.

The last 3 years (2013-2016) have been devoted to sort out what is wrong with the high refined carbs--thus low fat--Western diet. The two main villains are fructose (one half of table sugar) which is a very reactive sugar which randomly bonds to proteins, and polyunsaturated fats, which become oxidized within cell walls.  Fructose is only metabolized in the liver, thus it accumulates there, and thus the liver is the most damaged of tissues on a high sugar diet.  Given the quantity consumed, these two processes overwhelm the cellular repair mechanisms.  Damage to the liver is the starting point increase dramatically the risks for an assortment of conditions, of which obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are the most significant.  The fix is to metabolize the excess fat in the liver and pancreas and thereby cure insulin resistance.  With that fix, weight can be reduced with the compensatory response of the adipose tissue of lowering metabolizing at least 25% with the consequence of a feeling that by eating more the person will feel better and be happier—click on Getting Started

A large section of articles are posted at recommended healthful and a large collection of links to the best of documentaries and lectures on diet, diabetes, the relevant scientific foundation, and what to do to reverse both type 2 diabetes and obesity.
