Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health J. Douglas Bremner See book keywords and concepts

Unfortunately, the firm turned him down because at that time laws against birth control were strict. Through a series of experiments on another drug, a Searle chemist named Frank Colton inadvertently developed an early version of the pill that Pincus was permitted to use for his work. The resulting drug, made primarily from synthetic estrogen and progesterone, known as progestin, was made available in 1957 as a treatment for gynecological disorders. Then, in 1960, the FDA approved it as a birth control pill, and just three years later more than 1 million women were using it.

The Secret History of the War on Cancer Devra Davis See book keywords and concepts

As a registered tobacco lobbyist Knopf received $85,000 per year up to 1996 for all of his efforts to keep Pennsylvania from enacting laws against smoking in public. Tobacco was not his only client; as of 2002 he also represented the gambling and health groups Greenwood Racing, Inc., and Lehigh Valley Health Network. The ACS today is a radically different institution from what it once was. National smoke-out days, smoking cessation hotlines, and state tobacco control programs form the bulk of its efforts. There is evidence that these programs are working.

How about the international laws against the use of weapons of mass destruction? Once again, the United States is openly engaged in the use of such weapons -- depleted uranium shells being used right now in Iraq and Afghanistan. Note that there is absolutely no international trial, no charges, and no outcry from any western nation over the use of this WMD that will irradiate the Iraqi landscape for generations to come. Is depleted uranium really a WMD? Of course it is.

The disrespect for the law spread from the Penal laws against Roman Catholicism to all laws concerning the English Ascendancy, religious, economic, or political.

Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back Michele Simon See book keywords and concepts

No one would seriously suggest that individuals should regulate themselves, that laws against murder, assault, and theft are unnecessary because people are socially responsible. Yet oddly, we are asked to believe that corporate persons—institutional psychopaths who lack any sense of moral conviction and who have the power and motivation to cause harm and devastation in the world— should be left free to govern themselves.

The low-sugar cereal scam prompted a California woman to file a lawsuit under the state's consumer protection laws against Kraft, General Mills, and Kellogg in 2005. She alleges that the companies' low-sugar cereals falsely represent "that they offer a nutritional advantage over defendants' full-sugar breakfast cereal products, when in fact, the removed sugar is replaced by other carbohydrates, thus offering no significant nutritional advantage."19 Just a few months later, a similar case was filed in Montreal against Kellogg Canada.

Interview with John Levine on the War on SPAM Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And similarly, now that there are starting to be laws against spam, they invariably say that the company that benefits from the spam is as subject to the law as the people who run the servers and stuff. Now, you could also argue that, "Well, we didn't know they were spammers," but this kind of argument is familiar to the law, and I don't think they'll have any trouble sorting it out. Mike: So does that mean you think companies like Merck pharmaceutical are responsible in part for the Viagra spam? Levine: No, because the stuff they're selling is not Viagra. It's all fake.

China has enacted laws against what they call "light pollution" of products such as styrofoam. Manufacturers go out and find alternate products. This is one of them. This product has been on the market in Asia and in Europe for about 12 years. We produced all of the disposable containers and plates and everything for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, as the official supplier. That was the "Green" Olympics. So it's been around. For a variety of reasons, we only just brought it into the United States about a year ago. Mike: Price wise, how does it compare?

The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It Marcia Angell, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

As we learned in the last chapter, it is simply a matter of getting a message out to thought leaders and potential high prescribers, while skirting both antikickback laws and laws against off-label marketing. As a result of these efforts, Neurontin did become a blockbuster, with sales of $2.7 billion in 2003. About 80 percent of prescriptions that year were for unapproved uses—conditions like bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, hot flashes, migraines, and tension headaches.

Simmons misuses these laws against safe and harmless products in order to destroy and/or punish certain companies he personally does not favor without the target company being provided a fair trial. Mr. Simmons also conducts himself in a manner that provokes and antagonizes executives of those companies who are victims of this activity. The USGA is a non-profit citizens organization which exists to promote the interests of U.S. citizens.

We also expect them to prioritize their activity, to enforce laws against those whose noncompliance costs us, the citizens, the most money. If they would do that, they would start with price-fixing, bribing of government officials for big contracts, and monopoly attempts, etc. We expect them to do everything with the general welfare of the country in mind. They should keep in mind the fact that we are also tax-paying citizens who deserve fair and courteous treatment.

The forty-one-page report analyzed the "social costs" of enforcing the criminal laws against marijuana use and concluded that the laws against marijuana fail to deter millions of users and lead to the "consequent criminalization of large numbers of young Americans." The panel noted that in California, the decriminalization of marijuana had resulted in a 74 percent reduction in costs of enforcing the cannabis laws.

Oxymorons: The Myth of a U.S. Health Care System J.D. Kleinke See book keywords and concepts

It does not help that such compliance must occur in accordance with a reimbursement rulebook that is forty-five thousand pages long and counting, nor that all the laws against self-referral are so vague that they are useless without extensive, preemptive legal documentation. This rulebook is the manifestation of the Chaos Factor in the health care system, and obsessive attempts to comply with it give rise to much of the system's Inertia Factor—an often insurmountable hurdle for numerous well-meaning attempts at innovation by providers.

Your Doctor is Not In: Healthy skepticism about national health care Jane M. Orient, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

No, I didn't say we should remove the brakes and the steering wheel from the car by repealing the moral law and the criminal laws against the use of force and fraud. And I didn't advocate Shakespeare's prescription ("First, let's kill all the lawyers") so that nobody could collect damages after suffering a tort. I think the tort laws should be expanded so that they apply to bureaucrats, politicians, and lawyers, too. But all Christopher Columbus rules should be encased in concrete and thrown into the harbor. These are rules that might have saved a life by now had they been made in 1492.

By 1915 several New England states, along with California, Utah, and Wyoming, had passed laws against cannabis in anticipation of possible problems. Texas passed a law against cannabis in 1919, and Iowa, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arkansas, and Nebraska followed suit in 1923. Meanwhile the federal prohibition against alcohol—with the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919, and its enforcement legislature, the Volstead Act of 1920—had made alcohol more costly, difficult to acquire, and dangerous to use.

Jamaican statesman Michael Manley criticized the harsh laws against ganja in his country with logic that rings true for every country that is ostensibly democratic. When the issue is not crucial to the life of the society yet the youngest offender, the smallest offender, must get a brutal, life-ruining penalty in the same way as the hardened and wicked offender, you are unfit to be legislators and unfit to be in charge of human beings, human lives in a civilized country.58 Hemp will continue to be woven into the tapestry of human life, and will continue to be controversial.
