In October last year, drug maker Eli Lilly, issued a statement to The European Medicines Agency, that it will withdraw its drug Xigris — a medicine which used to treat sepsis. Sepsis, where blood borne bacteria overwhelm a vulnerable immune system, can lead to septic shock, organ failure, and death... and if you're an elderly patient or an infant the danger that hangs over your head with every hospital stay is even bigger. For nearly 10 YEARS, many patients and their families pinned their survival hopes on Xigris... only to find out that Xigris had no beneficial effect at all. To put it plainly, the results of a clinical study that started in 2008 showed that 26.4% of patients who took Xigris died compared with 24.2% taking a placebo. This is a great example of a good marketing campaign behind a very bad drug. It is something that scamster pharmaceutical corporations excel at. It is not the first time and certainly will not be the last. When Xigris was approved in the US in 2001 and in Europe in 2002, executives and marketers for Eli Lilly (the maker of Xigris) had to overcome a significant hurdle: Xigris was significantly more expensive than its competitors... we're talking thousands more! Cleverly, Lilly started a 'Surviving Sepsis Campaign', which was designed to raise awareness about Xigris... and as an incentive to raise this sepsis awareness they offered Xigris free to doctors and hospitals. These guys don't miss a trick, do they? In 2003, Lilly assembled a group of critical care experts to create new sepsis management guidelines. Lilly provided the funding, of course, and — surprise! — the guidelines promoted Xigris over treatments that cost thousands of Dollars less. Ta-da! Useless drug becomes a wild success! Luckily, the European Medicines Agency, required additional research and the 2008 study (mentioned above) was started. Although the results were considered "statistically insignificant," the death rate was actually slightly higher in the Xigris group. Xigris is gone now, but it doesn't remove the fact that Lilly had a solid, lucrative 10-year run for nothing but a dud... that cost the lives of many, which could've been saved with cheaper and much more effective drugs. The real kicker is that there actually is a super safe, inexpensive vitamin treatment that's been shown to be effective in controlling sepsis. BUT, as always the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is waging a war against intravenous ascorbic acid (IAA), which has also been shown to regress certain cancers and effectively treat encephalitis, measles, dangerously advanced cases of the flu, and other conditions. And it is far from new. IAA has been tested in recommended for many years. An alternative treatment like IAA is something Big Pharma DO NOT want to see on the market, and medical authorities are clearly all too happy to sweep it under the rug to make way for harmful drugs that save no lives at all. Zero! Nada! There is a supplement that is immensely powerful to harness and boost your body's own immune system and to make it far less likely that you will suffer from any infections. I'm going to be telling you about that next week and also offering you a substantial discount if you want to buy that to thank you for being a loyal reader of my newsletter.

This is routine in the Pharmacide Industry. They are not in the business of curing anyone of anything. They are in the business of selling product. It is finally becoming better known. Mike Adams has a lot on it, as does Rense, Dr. Mercola, and others. While some Pharma products, such as anti-biotics, are of benefit many exist simply as profit centers with either no benefits or adverse effects that are worse than the alleged "disease" they are supposed to treat. While it covers a lot of other topics this video covers how the drug company marketing machine works to sell drugs with no benefit (and often many adverse reactions). |
