'Through the development of an utterly fraudulent standard of care, psychiatrists and Big Pharma have been making a killing.
Psychiatric appointments were once one or two hours long. People talked to them and tried to work their problems out. Now, though, appointments can be as brief as five minutes—and patients virtually always walk out with a diagnosis and either drugs or a prescription for drugs. Big Pharma makes billions of dollars from these prescriptions. The top three antipsychotics alone gross more than $13 billion a year. Psychiatrists get rich, some making millions, prescribing these poisons.
The other side of this killing made by psychiatry and Big Pharma is the killing of patients. The drugs given, and sometimes even forced, are destroying lives and killing people.'
Ex-Pharma Sales Rep Speaks Out - Big Pharma Not in Business of Health, Healing, Cures, Wellness.
'Gwen Olsen spent fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales rep working for such healthcare giants as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott Laboratories. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced career until several conscious-altering experiences began awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet.
'Her most poignant lessons, however, came as both victim and survivor of life-threatening adverse drug reactions. After leaving pharmaceutical sales in 2000, Gwen worked in the natural foods industry first as an Account Manager for Nature's Way, and then as a Regional Sales Manager for Gaia Herbs. She is currently a writer, speaker, and natural health consultant.
The United States health care system is killing Americans at an alarming rate, even though we spend over fifteen percent of the Gross National Product (GNP) on health care. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, our health care outcomes ranked only fifteenth among twenty-five industrialized nations worldwide. Adverse effects from prescription drugs have become the third-leading killer of Americans.
'Only heart disease and cancer claim more lives. We trust our doctors to inform us and our government to protect us from medical malfeasance that may put profits ahead of consumer health and safety. But the fine line walked by the FDA between the interests of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the American public has continually been crossed. The result is the unleashing of an unprecedented number of lethal drugs on the U.S. market!
'Gwen Olsen learned firsthand the danger that lurks in every American's medicine cabinet, working in the pharmaceutical industry. But her most poignant education would come as a victim and, ultimately, as a survivor.'
