Many Scientists are Coming to View our Medical Literature as Propaganda
Many Scientists are Coming to View our Medical Literature as Propaganda
Do Pharmaceutical Commercials Benefit Americans?
On this week’s JOURNAL, Bill Moyers spoke with Melody Petersen, an
independent journalist who formerly covered the drug industry for the
NEW YORK TIMES and is author of OUR DAILY MEDS: HOW THE PHARMACEUTICAL
COMPANIES TRANSFORMED THEMSELVES INTO SLICK MARKETING MACHINES AND
HOOKED THE NATION ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
Addressing how advertising and marketing have affected the
prescription drug business, Petersen said:
“A very powerful technique that the drug companies spend millions and
millions of dollars on is hiring physicians to give lectures to other
physicians on their drugs. It looks like the physician is up there
giving his independent position on this drug, but often he’s been
trained by an advertising agency. His slide presentation has been
created by an ad agency. It looks like independent science, but it’s
not... They want to get as many articles published in our medical
journals as they can that show their products in favorable lights and
will get physicians to prescribe them, so they often hire a Madison
Avenue ad agency to write up an article for them or a study. The name
of the ad agency rarely appears in the published version; instead,
they hire doctors to put their names on as author... It’s gone so far
that some independent scientists are starting to view our medical
literature as propaganda.”
Others, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), argue
that “direct to consumer” ads help educate and engage prospective
patients about their healthcare options.

Yes, it is indeed scandalous. Only the USA and New Zealand permit
direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs, and the long lists
of warnings such commercials include are glossed over so quickly and in
such a low-key tenor that "consumers" don't get a chance to consider
them carefully.
But the most extraordinary aspect of this profit-driven trend is the
invention of questionable new diseases to be cured by expensive drugs to
be taken every day, and forever.

The love of money is at the root of all evil.
The love of LORD Jesus Christ is at the cure.
Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be healthier...

Since people are living longer, they are bound to get a whole new set
of diseases depending on which bodily part or system fails.

Since people are living longer, they are bound to get a whole new set
of diseases depending on which bodily part or system fails.

Dairies can't label their milk as not coming from cows not treated
with rGBH. It seems that government is the one perpetrating the fraud.

That would be Monsanto. They do have a case in that the levels of
rBGH (corrected spelling) aren't raised in the milk of cows that are
treated with the hormone.

Yet to get a law that keeps consumers from knowing what they are
asking to know . . .
And the issue that levels are raised - you have to remember these are
compounds that have profound effects in parts per billion.

If consumers want to know and will pay for that information (higher
prices), then suppliers can formulate their products to provide what the
consumers is willing to pay for. That's what open/free markets are all
about. Given a choice between a product that notes that no rBGH was
used and one that had no such statement, I as a consumer would purchase
the rBGH free milk. Monsanto doesn't want the consumer to know if their
product is used or not because some consumers would chose in a way what
would lower Monsanto's sales. The legal system shouldn't be used to
prop up business objectives and certainly not at the expense of consumer
choice.
The issue of detectability of rBGH in the milk is immaterial. The
unknown other qualities that rBHG influences is what consumers don't
want to experimental subjects for. Monsanto cannot be relied on to
provide accuracy on any negative consequences, their choice, but they
shouldn't be allowed to prevent others from choosing or not choosing to
take risks to achieve Monsanto's profit objectives.
Label the milk in a way that states that no exogenous rBGH was used in
it's production. If you don't think "rBGH free" is accurate, then try
"No Added rBHG", but I think "rBHG free" is accurate since "recombinant"
is an artificial process.

It isn't "government for the people" these days -- unless they're the
people who pay for commercials. Free speech doesn't come cheap!
