Too Profitable to Cure

Brent Hoadley, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts
A similar situation might occur if American auto manufacturers decided to omit a gas gauge from new automobiles. The American Automobile Association could step up to sell flexible sticks for determining the fuel level in your gas tank. But ultimately, if you ran out of gas, the problem was yours alone. The Damages of "Tight Control" A recent continuing education course on 2 was taught by a renowned researcher, and I took the position of a fly on the wall. The class dealt with microvascular complications and clinical therapies.

Japanese carmakers reach milestone: 30 percent of U.S. auto sales

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

And if you think the situation is interesting with automobiles, just wait until you see what's going to happen in the global robotics market: Japanese companies will outright dominate. In the future, sales of functional robots will far surpass that of automobiles. (Read my free downloadable ebook on emerging technologies at www.TruthPublishing.com to learn more.) And when the robot industry really gains steam, it's going to be Honda, Toyota and other Japanese companies owning the global market. So what do we do to protect U.S. jobs in manufacturing industries? Forget about protectionism.

Transdermal Magnesium Therapy

Mark Sircus
See book keywords and concepts
Mention magnesium, and many people conjure up images of a hard, silvery alloy used to fashion parts for aircraft and automobiles, or machinery that needs to resist corrosion. Mention it as a pain reliever second to none and people will scratch their head and wonder what's wrong with you. But medical scientists from the Department of Anaesthetics and Pain Management, University Hospital Lewisham, London, think the beneficial effect of magnesium in terms of pain management may result from the physiological action of magnesium as a non-competitive antagonist of the NMDA-receptor.

You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore

They collect data from all cases where children were hit by automobiles and they find that nearly all of the children were wearing tennis shoes. So, can we conclude that tennis shoes caused the accidents? Obviously not. The tennis shoes are only by-standers. So is HA. Finnish researchers noted that "hyaluronic acid is involved in the growth and progression of malignant tumors.

What If Medicine Disappeared?

Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea

The report asserted that medical errors kill between 44,000 and 88,000 people per year (the sixth to the eighth leading cause of death), more than killed by automobiles.5 Most errors involved the inappropriate administration of medication. Several medical experts challenged the study, claiming that the findings were grossly exaggerated. Yet research in 2002 corroborated the estimate, claiming that "fully 34% of all doctors said that either they or members of their family had experienced serious medical errors... with serious health consequences."6 Nor is our list complete.

The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine

Anne Harrington

If chronic suppression of negative emotions could cause us to wheeze, develop high blood pressure, and crash our automobiles on the highways, could it also cause us to grow tumors? Did there exist, in other words, not just an "accident-prone" personality but a "cancer-prone" personality? Many thought so. As early as 1940, W. H. Auden had captured the emerging psychoanalytic consensus on what such a person might be like.

Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health

J. Douglas Bremner
See book keywords and concepts
In response to efforts to regulate the content of TV ads for drugs, Billy Tauzin, president of the Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the lobbying organization for the drug companies, was quoted by the New York Times (May 17, 2005) as having said, "We don't make ice cream or handbags or automobiles, we make products that save lives" ("Drug Industry Is Said to Work on Ad Code"). The argument drug manufacturers make for the high cost of their products, which has become an old saw by now, is that the money supports research and development of new life-saving meds.

The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
End Big Pharma's FDA-enforced drug monopoly Government regulators claim to support free trade in every area imaginable: corn, computers, software, automobiles and even steel. But when it comes to medicine, U.S. regulators feel they need to enforce a U.S. monopoly market that deprives consumers of choice and makes free trade illegal. Just try to buy meds from a Canadian online pharmacy, and you'll see what I mean. The FDA practically considers you a criminal for buying drugs at cheaper prices in another country. From the FDA to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), U.S.

The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine: The Ultimate Multidisciplinary Reference to the Amazing Realm of Healing Plants, in a Quick-study, One-stop Guide

Brigitte Mars, A.H.G.

The oil from the seeds is used to make hair tonics (to prevent baldness), paint, varnish, lamp oil, and fuel for automobiles and airplanes. The resin is the source of the psychoactive hashish. A myth from Nepal tells that Shiva, the world's creator and destroyer, lived with his goddess wife Parvati in the Himalayas. Yet Shiva wandered, amusing himself with nymphs and other goddesses. This displeased Parvati, so she sought a way to keep her husband close to home. She took the resin from a female hemp plant, and when Shiva returned home she offered him its smoke.

Product review: IQAir HealthPro air purifier is a robust, high-end air filter for home or office

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Origins of IQAir IQAir first gained notoriety in North America by successfully promoting a cabin air filter for Mercedes-Benz automobiles in the region. This action led to the creation of fan powered room air cleaners, which were not only more effective than what was on the market, but were affordable too. This technology was finally made available in the United States in 2000. Formed in 1963, the company that would later become IQAir was born as the brainchild of two brothers in Germany, Manfred and Klaus Hammes.

Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs

Melody Petersen
See book keywords and concepts
While the operating principles of a fast-food restaurant may work when you sell grande lattes or change oil in automobiles, there are dangers in reorganizing medicine for speedy and easy mass consumption. Medicine is a complex art that cannot easily be reduced to a cookbooklike checklist that can be applied to every patient. Such standardization may help a teenager assemble a bacon double cheeseburger, but it leaves room for potentially deadly mistakes when used to diagnose and treat an ailing human being.

Too Profitable to Cure

Brent Hoadley, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts
Suppose all Ford and General Motors automobiles with excellent safety and service records were removed from the marketplace, leaving an inventory of low-end cars with bad safety and service rankings. Eventually, when each company introduced a new automobile at a significantly higher price, the makers could state the prices are warranted. Consumers could choose between a new, higher priced vehicle (with an unproven safety and service record) or they could purchase cars with known inferiorities. (The absence of Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, etc. from the American marketplace might also be noted.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation

Charles Barber

Drugs are now the second most advertised product in America, after automobiles.111 And whereas the money spent on advertising cars went down in 2006, the money on shilling drugs has gone up. But even before the TV ads, the marketers of Prozac fundamentally changed how drugs were defined. Before Prozac, the brand names of drugs were generally some simplified version of their scientific and generic names. For example: haloperidol (generic name) became Haldol (brand name).

Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer

Shannon Brownlee
See book keywords and concepts
Supporting scientific research became a responsibility of government, while American technological know-how—along with the destruction of Europe's economies during World War II—allowed American factories to produce more than half the world's goods, and 80 percent of its automobiles. Medical research held a special place in the scientific pantheon. Americans literally rejoiced in the streets at the news that Jonas Salk had created a vaccine for polio. By 1960, the insecticide DDT had eradicated malaria from the United States, along with yellow fever.

Why health freedom will ultimately overcome Big Pharma mischief and FDA corruption (opinion)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
There are serious efforts now to promote green lawn care, green automobiles and green living. The trends are strongly in favor of natural, sustainable living! Why Big Pharma is so desperate In the context of these powerful trends, Big Pharma is acting out of desperation to protect a medical monopoly that will soon collapse in the United States. Think about this: The very reason Big Pharma has to bribe senators, buy off FDA regulators and pay the media to run its propaganda pieces is because Big Pharma has nothing left of value to offer the world.

How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace

Three automobiles drove off into ditches; other drivers abandoned their cars on the road. Eight of the motorists died. By 9 a.m., seven hours after the initial release, the chlorine gas cloud was three miles wide and nearly two miles high.66 Industrial releases and freight train derailments proved not to be the only sources of public danger from chlorine. In 1981, a municipal water treatment facility in Zaragoza, Spain, released compressed chlorine gas, injuring 164, of whom 76 were children.

Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes

Michael J. Panzner

Experience suggests, for example, that automobiles remain roadworthy for longer when the engine oil is changed regularly, while regular servicing of costly home heating and cooling systems can extend their useful lives. Spending on food and other household necessities should also be analyzed under a microscope. Rather than buying heavily marketed brands or those that have been used mainly out of habit, it might make more sense to favor cheaper, no-name alternatives.

People who lifted automobiles from the ground long enough to free those pinned beneath them ?The boy in Neville's office who wanted a collie puppy One way we apply the logic patch in our lives is when we see another person accomplish something that we believed impossible. Although there may be no "logical" reason why we can't do something, if no one has done it before, a seemingly difficult feat can create such a strong belief in our minds that we begin to believe that it's impossible . . . that is, until someone proves us wrong.

Some may even resort to desperate measures, like offering risky customers the option of having electronic devices attached to automobiles, appliances, and other products that allow them to function only if debt payments are up-to-date. But with Americans transformed from indulgent squanderers into consumer zombies, those efforts will prove costly and the effects short-lived. One consequence: A nation of malls will witness thousands of retailers shutting their doors—in many cases forever.

Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power

Mark Schapiro

Derek Johnson, president of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association, steered me to a case in 2005 that he and his fellow product liability attorneys followed with considerable interest, one involving an unrelated product: automobiles. More than a thousand lawsuits were filed against the Ford Motor Company in state courts on behalf of car-accident victims who were killed or injured after the roof in the company's Explorer SUV collapsed. The company has thus far had to pay more than $150 million in damages to victims and their families.
Electronics, automobiles, toys, cosmetics —Europe's new standards are requiring a reassessment of the chemicals inside that make them tick. Evidence has been mounting on both sides of the Atlantic of the troubling effects from exposure to chemicals that are often the secret, unknown ingredient in the products and conveniences of our modern era. Both the United States and Europe are seeing rising rates of infertility among males and females, increasing rates of endocrine-related malformations, and neurological disorders that scientists ascribe to the effects of toxic chemicals. The U.S.
Martha Bucknell, executive director of the Auto Dismantlers Association in California, said that she had never heard of GADSL, and had seen no changes in the content of automobiles that her membership uses to rebuild old cars or sell for scrap.28 Back in Brussels, Rosalinde van der Vlies, who helped to oversee the ELV as part of her job in the Environment Directorate, told me that Japanese and Korean car companies were already adapting to the ELV directives requirements.
An ever-greater percentage of the world's shoes, computer parts, toys, cosmetics, textiles, television sets, and automobiles will come from Chinese factories. But there is another figure buried in these astounding signs of China's roaring new presence in the international economy. Sixty percent of China's exports are produced by affiliates of multinational corporations.

IRS officials also seized computers, automobiles, and bank accounts. The U.S. Postal Service illegally blocked the mail of some of the targeted companies, denying them the ability to conduct business or even organize a legal defense. Targeted products included Dr. Kurt Donsbach's nutritional products and Dr. Hans Neiper's German-made health products. The 1963 Church of Scientology raid In the early 1960s, the FDA got word of something it didn't like: The Church of Scientology was helping its members overcome mental problems with the use of a simple biofeedback device called the E-meter.

They paid twice as much for their prescription medicines that year as they spent on either higher education or new automobiles. The American prescription drug market is so lucrative that many foreign drug companies have moved in and now depend on Americans for most of their profits. For foreign executives, the math is simple. Americans spend more on medicines than do all the people of Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina combined.

The good news is that traffic accidents would be virtually impossible: automobiles ?and passengers ?could collide harmlessly at any speed.39 Elsewhere, in an article about future space travel, Clarke wrote: 'If I was a NASA administrator ... I'd get my best, brightest and youngest (no one over 25 need apply) to take a long, hard look at Puthoff et al.'s equations.'4?Later, Haisch, Rueda and Daniel Cole of IBM would publish a paper showing that the universe owes its very structure to the Zero Point Field.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
So if we're going to go through the trouble of banning mobile phones in automobiles out of concern for driver safety, I think we should go all the way and just ban drivers with low cognitive function and slow reaction time. Why isn't reaction time one of the tests when you go get your license renewed? When someone sees a red light, shouldn't they be required to respond in one second or less?
Should we outlaw the use of portable electronic devices by people who are operating automobiles? I would only support that if we also ban drivers with slow reaction times and actually start testing people for reaction times. It's easy to blame the problem on cell phones, but that's sort of like going to Rwanda, finding out that 800,000 people have been slaughtered by machetes, and then blaming the machetes. It's not a machete problem, and it's not a cell phone problem. It's a problem with reaction times of drivers, and in the case of Rwandans, human decency.

If the auto industry operated like Big Pharma: fifteen things you might notice

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

Companies would make up new reasons why you need more automobiles, hoping to convince you to buy a dozen or more. They might say you need one car to make you feel happy, another for basic transportation, a third to match the color of your house, and so on. Explanation: drug companies frequently invent new, fictitious diseases, and then try to sell you drugs to treat those made-up afflictions. Examples include ADHD, FSD (female sexual dysfunction), General Anxiety Disorder, and other made-up diseases that have no purpose other than selling drugs.

Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me

While other human-made pollutants deplete the ozone in the upper atmosphere, emitting VOCs into the lower atmosphere produces an additional ozone layer that traps heat and ultraviolet radiation nearer to the earth's surface, adding to the levels of smog in cities caused by automobiles and other industrial pollution. California and New York have been the leaders in setting environmental standards for VOCs, and since 1998, they have not allowed the sale of any hairspray containing more than 55% VOC. No other state since has established such strict regulations.
