www.mediaed.org Big Bucks, Big Pharma pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain. Focusing on the industry’s marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with …

    Cannabis is more effective than aspirin in treating inflammation. Cannabis stimulates appetite. Cannabis creates a sense of well-being. Cannabis makes life enjoyable. Pills cause stomach ulcers, life-threatening addictions, and put you into severe debt.

    Hell cannabis even annihilates cancer cells without damaging the body.

    These freaks are bombarding cancer patients with intense radiation!

    Cannabis is big pharma’s worst enemy.

    Hi 1stdonoharm,

    I agree.

    I never heard that one before hajarc, but then again I have just recently been made aware of how big a problem this actually is! Thanks to youtube, a lot of research, and some simple observation! Truth is there are many like me, so busy with life, unaware of what is truly happening. Everyone needs to spread the word, send this video to all you know.

    Wow! Makes me want to take another look at scientology…must have something going for it if it has Big Pharm’s panties in a bunch! Ha!

    Former pharma sales rep Gwen Olsen said that they are learned to use the following strategy as soon as anyone is critical against drugs. They say “Are you a scientologist”.
    It’s a tactic they use to make people feel odd and stop being critical against pharma drug pushing.

    One don’t have to be a scientologist to become raged about all the criminal methods used by big pharma. It’s not effecting just scientologists. It effects all of us.

    “There’s only one remedy for crime — get rid of the psychs! They are causing it!”

    L. Ron Hubbard, HCOB of 6 May 1982 “The Cause of Crime”

    Hubbard (and the Church of Scientology) blames Psychiatry for the rise of Hitler and Stalin, World War 2, the Holocaust, the attack on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre on 9/11, the Virginia Tech shootings, and other international tragedies.

    Most Drs Know this is wrong and they do it anyways because of the kickbacks!

    Yes, “Big Pharma” has produced nothing of value. Nevermind the development of antimicrobial agents, vaccines, cancer therapies, immunosuppressants, or synthetic hormones, to name a few.

    yourboyken,

    “Everything is cured Naturally”

    Yes, yes, its the only way to go! (smile)

    I hate Big Pharma; just look at the meds they prescribe to people and how they work on the human body, they do NOT heal anyone.

    Why, because they dont make any money on making people well.

    Take RA for example, my friend and I both got RA at the same time, 28 years ago. She took all their drugs, and is still taking nine 15 mg morphine pills a day and walks with a walker.

    I took the natural path and at 60 I am still riding my horses and feeling great!

    Scientology abuses its members working them 70-130 hrs a wk for slave wages of 40 cents an hr -10 cents an hr if they’re so unlucky to need “rehabilitation” in one of its gulags or concentration camps.

    Children are abused as child slave labor & young women are either coaxed or coerced into getting abortions. It breaks up families & harasses its critics.

    It is a fascist totalitarian organization operating above the law as nothing is as important as Clearing the Planet (taking over the world).

    Scientology claims their cult is compatible with Christianity. This statement is in conflict with the words of their own founder, L. Ron Hubbard (LRH).
    “The whole Christian movement is based on the victim … They won by appealing to victims. We can win by converting victims.”
    - Hubbard Communications Office (HCO) bulletin of 18 July 1959 (under “Historical Note”)
