Group of doctors accuses drug companies of inventing fictitious
diseases to sell more prescription drugs

The Royal College of General Practitioners in the U.K. has accused
drug companies of inventing fictitious diseases or exaggerating the
severity of symptoms in order to boost drug sales. It's being called
'disease mongering' and the college explains that pharmaceutical
companies are taking the National Health Service to the brink of
collapse by hyping both these diseases and the assortment of
prescription drugs used to treat their symptoms.
The diseases named by the college as being over-hyped include
hypertension, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, anxiety and clinical
depression. The college says that these diseases are inappropriately
treated with drugs and that many of the physicians prescribing such
drugs have financial ties with the pharmaceutical companies. In
response, a spokesperson for the pharmaceutical industry in the U.K.
actually said, 'The Royal College of General Practitioners is
suffering from argumentative disease and we have a drug for that.'
>From my view, the whole thing is quite ridiculous. The drug companies
are inventing so many fictitious diseases that they should hire their
own intellectual property attorneys and seek patents on those
diseases. Imagine if you owned the patent for diabetes... you could
charge royalties for any person in the country who was diagnosed with
the disease. Or, if you owned the patent for cancer, you could reap a
fortune by charging patients $5 or $10 a month just to have cancer.
After all, when cancer cells divide, they are replicating the gene
sequence of a cancer cell. So, if you can patent the gene sequence of
cancer, you can become an instant billionaire and go after
individuals who violate your patents by manufacturing their own
cancer cells. (Gee, did I just accidentally give the drug companies a
legitimate idea, or what?)
Of course, if you can't patent the disease, the next best thing is to
patent the toxic chemicals that claims to treat the symptoms of that
disease, and that's where we get drugs like statin drugs,
antidepressants, COX-2 inhibitors and other dangerous chemicals
concocted by the pharmaceutical industry and approved by the
now-discredited FDA.
It's pretty clear that the pharmaceutical industry wants to define
everybody in the population as being sick, and even if you think you
are healthy and deny the fact that you have any diseases whatsoever,
they could diagnose you with "Denial Disorder" (DD) by sending you to
the right psychiatrist. There are lots of drugs readily available for
DD, just as there are for other fictitious diseases like social
anxiety disorder or fear of public speaking.
Is there really a person alive who isn't afraid of public speaking in
the first place? This isn't a brain chemistry disorder. This is a Big
Pharma con game of redefining natural emotions as being 'brain
chemistry imbalances'. And that's one of the many games played by Big
Pharma. They redefine normalcy as illness, and once they give it a
disease name, suddenly everybody's taking prescription drugs for it.
That's how Ritalin became so popular. They invented a disease and
gave it a name. They dreamed up "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder" and suddenly it was a bona-fide disease that demanded
prescription drugs. And of course, psychiatrists were happy to dole
out those prescriptions because they got kickbacks from drug
companies or ego-feeding power rushes by pushing prescriptions onto
little kids who really just had a problem with too much sugar in
their diets.
The ultimate goal of the pharmaceutical industry is, of course, to
legislate the existence of these diseases so that if a person
disagrees that he or she is clinically depressed, for example, then
by law they must be placed on antidepressant drugs. Or if a parent
believes drugs are dangerous and tries to treat their child with
natural herbal therapies or nutrition, the state can come in and take
away that child and declare the parent to be mentally incompetent
because they didn't use synthetic chemicals as part of their medical
treatment.
As a service to these drug companies, I've decided to offer them some
names for additional diseases they should invent and market drugs
for. The first should be "Recurring Hallucinogenesis Disease" (RHD).
This happens when people get tired in the evening. They lie down and
close their eyes, and before long, they begin hallucinating. All
sorts of images and sounds appear in their head, normally lasting for
several hours until morning. This is obviously some sort of strange
brain disorder that should be treated with prescription drugs. And it
appears to be quite widespread.
Another disease should be called "Irrational Attraction Disorder."
This occurs when a person is in the presence of someone of the
opposite sex and they begin to experience symptoms that are obviously
indicative of a serious nervous system disorder. Those symptoms may
include increased respiration, heart palpitations, impaired mental
ability and the urge to buy a round of drinks for everyone in the
near vicinity, even strangers. This is obviously a serious mental
disorder affecting a great number of people, and we should invent
prescription drugs to treat it.
Lastly, we have a very serious disorder taking place in this country
called "Cerebral Activation Disease" (CAD). This appears when people
begin to educate themselves by reading about the true causes of
health and nutrition and start making new connections in their brains
about how to stay healthy and avoid chronic disease. Their
intelligence rises and they begin to question the mainstream
propaganda on prescription drugs and medicine, and they even switch
to naturopathic doctors instead of MDs. For their own safety, we
obviously need to have a drug that eliminates this highly contagious
disease and makes sure that people only have the mental capacity to
follow doctors' orders.
Because thinking is, of course, a brain disorder.
