(NaturalNews) As we all learned earlier this week, Dr. Sanjay Gupta is President-elect Obama's choice for Surgeon General. Numerous questions have been raised, however, about Dr. Gupta's ties to pharmaceutical companies and his tendency to promote vaccines and pharmaceuticals while dismissing safety concerns about those drugs.
Do we really need another pill-pushing bureaucrat in Washington? And why couldn't Obama choose somebody who stands a chance of actually reforming the Big Pharma / FDA racket that has caused so much health and financial harm to America already? (Marcia Angell would be a good choice for Surgeon General, it seems...) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcia...)
Before getting into some of the potential conflicts of interest that might be haunting Dr. Sanjay Gupta, it's important to note that there are, in fact, TWO Dr. Sanjay Gupta's in the U.S., and one of them has all sorts of financial ties to pharmaceutical companies. This is disclosed in the AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION 2007 ANNUAL MEETING document (http://www.psychconflicts.org/pdfs/...) which reveals that Dr. Sanjay Gupta has financial ties to all the following companies: Abbott Laboratories, Inc.; AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company; Eli Lillyand Company; Forest Laboratories, Inc.; GlaxoSmithKline; Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development; Memory Pharmaceuticals; Myriad Genetics, Inca; Neurochem, Inca; OnoPharmaceuticals, Inca ; Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inca; Pfizer Inc; Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inca;Somaxon Pharmaceuticals
It is important to note, however, that this is not the same Dr. Sanjay Gupta appointed to Surgeon General. There has been considerable confusion about this point on the 'net, which isn't surprising, because most people assume that a name as unique as Dr. Sanjay Gupta isn't going to appear more than once. (Then again, Sanjay is a very common name for children of Indian couples, and the last name Gupta isn't exactly rare, either. Combine that with the fact that Indian parents tend to encourage their children to become doctors, and you can see why there are two Dr. Sanjay Gupta's in America today.)
Will the real Dr. Sanjay Gupta please stand up?The "real" Dr. Sanjay Gupta (the CNN one) is, nonetheless, well known as a defender and promoter of vaccines, psychiatric drugs and Big Pharma's prescription medications.
In defending antidepressant drugs for expectant mothers, Dr. Gupta said on CNN (June 28, 2007):
"You may remember a couple of years ago there was a study coming out saying if you take antidepressants when you're pregnant, it increases the chances of heart defects in your baby. ...People got concerned about that. So there were some new studies now actually looking at specific SSRIs, which are a type of antidepressant, and trying to figure out just how likely a birth defect is. With regards to Paxil and Zoloft, two specific antidepressants, the risks appear very small of three kinds of birth defects: skull defects, brain defects and gastrointestinal defects. They happen, but a very, very small percentage. In general, SSRIs, those class of antidepressants, appear to be pretty safe. And what they -- one thing they did agree on is that not taking them, not taking the medications if you are depressed, could be a greater risk than taking them in the first place."
