Governor of Illinois operates program to re-import prescription drugs from Canada Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

At the same time, the agency can't produce any Americans who have been harmed by prescription drugs from canada either, but there are a hundred thousand people falling over dead from using prescription drugs purchased from U.S. pharmacies -- a statistic the FDA conveniently ignores.

Big Pharma scare tactics: How the pharmaceutical industry influences American consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Lloyd Grove, a columnist for the New York Daily News, says that the pharmaceutical lobby in the United States, a group called PhRMA, actually commissioned the writing of a fiction novel designed to scare Americans into avoiding prescription drugs from canada. The book was supposed to tell a story of terrorists who altered prescription drugs from canada in order to kill Americans who were buying them over the internet or crossing the border to buy them at lower prices. Bizarre, huh?

The New York Times summarized my comments in an article that started, "A dissident executive from Pfizer, the world's largest drug maker, denounced the pharmaceutical industry on Thursday for resisting legislation that would allow imports of low-cost prescription drugs from canada and other countries." The Times wrote that my comments gave new life to a failing effort to pass such legislation. Then they quoted me saying, "Holding up a vote on importation, stopping good importation bills has a high, high cost not just in money, but in American lives.

Drug companies are in business to make money, not make people healthy You see this in many ways including the price gouging of American consumers, attempts to block the importation of prescription drugs from canada, the refusal of companies to fund AIDS drugs initiatives in Africa, and so on. You especially see it in the suppression of prevention by conventional medicine at the FDA. There is actually an effort underway to minimize any discussion of disease prevention and instead focus on disease symptom treatments — especially those involving pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures.

The book was supposed to tell a story of terrorists who altered prescription drugs from canada in order to kill Americans who were buying them over the internet or crossing the border to buy them at lower prices. Bizarre, huh? What an interesting tactic to try to convince people to pay sky-high prices -- monopoly prices, in fact -- for prescription drugs in the United States. But that's only part of this story. When the book project fizzled, the authors were offered $100,000 to keep quiet about the deal, says Grove.

And just in case you might think buying drugs from somewhere else as a way to get a good deal, we'll scare you with language about terrorists somehow tainting prescription drugs from canada." By the way, this is not the first time we have heard that language. People in the conventional medical industry brought this up more than a year ago. They said that drugs from Canada were dangerous because terrorists could attack Americans by tainting the prescription drug supply in Canada. They must have really great imaginations to come up with this stuff.

New job opportunities at the Food and Drug Administration (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

As you may know, the free market sales of prescription drugs from canada threatens the FDA-controlled monopoly market for drugs in the U.S. We need help to discredit Canada so that gullible U.S. consumers will distrust Canadian pharmacies and keeping shelling out their hard-earned cash at overpriced U.S. pharmacies (which we regulate and control, of course). We already have a few old tricks to assist you in this job, like claiming that terrorists will poison all the drugs in Canada.

The top ten things we'd see if the FDA were put in charge of the criminal justice system Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Drug smugglers would be shot on sight, but only if they are smuggling legal prescription drugs from canada. (Explanation: The FDA continues to try to ban prescription drugs from canada in the hopes of protecting the profits of U.S. drug companies. In one case, a bus load of American senior citizens was detained and searched by FDA employees for drugs. Not illegal drugs, mind you, but prescription drugs.) 8. All felons serving time in prison would be set free. Why? The FDA would claim that no particular felon could be considered dangerous, since all felons are dangerous.

Pharmacists oppose free trade with Canada, citing loss of U.S. jobs Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: When it comes to blocking the importation of prescription drugs from canada, pharmacists are a creative bunch. First, they sited safety concerns, but ignored the statistics that show U.S. pharmacies are just as likely to improperly fill prescriptions as Canadian pharmacies. Then they backed the ridiculous position of the FDA that terrorists were going to attack the United States by somehow lacing prescription drugs from canada with toxic chemicals.

Wennar and the board of United Health Alliance created Medicine Assist, a not-for-profit on-line mail-order service for getting prescription drugs from canada. The patient and doctor both download forms from the Medicine Assist web site, fill them out, and fax them, along with a prescription, to a participating pharmacy. The cost of the Canadian doctor's review is included in the prices available on the web site. Once an order is placed, the pharmacy mails the medicines straight to the patient's home. Not surprisingly, this route has proven more popular than the bus.

Then they backed the ridiculous position of the FDA that terrorists were going to attack the United States by somehow lacing prescription drugs from canada with toxic chemicals. That didn't make any sense, either, since most prescription drugs are already toxic (they are now the third leading cause of death in the United States), meaning that it might be impossible to tell which customers were killed by the drugs vs. which customers were killed by "terrorist" contaminated drugs. Now the pharmacists have come up with a new reason: jobs. It's the economy, stupid!

It began in 2003, when the flamboyant mayor of Springfield, Massachusetts, Michael Albano, offered city employees the option of purchasing their prescription drugs from canada. Estimating that this practice would cut up to $9 million from the $18 million the city was spending annually on prescription drugs for its 18,000 employees, he made a deal with a Canadian drug supplier, CanaRx. The program is under way, and Mayor Albano remained cheerfully obdurate until his retirement, despite threats from the FDA.8 His successor has said he will continue the program. That opened the floodgates.
