The
following article was printed by Mike Adams “The Health Ranger”
and he is correct with his history of drug companies and toxic
chemicals. Drug companies are not on this earth to make you well, but
to get you addicted to their “Drugs or Medicines” so they
can make insane amounts of money and control our lives.
Most
consumers think that street drugs are in an entirely different class
than prescription drugs, and they believe that pharmaceutical
companies would never manufacture or sell street drugs. But guess
what? As you'll read here, drug companies actually invented many of
the street drugs now considered to be the most devastating, including
heroin and meth ("ice").
Here are seven facts you
probably never knew about the connection between street drugs and
pharmaceutical companies:
1. Heroin was launched as a medicine
by Felix Hoffman, an employee of Bayer,
only a few days after he invented aspirin. Bayer immediately applied
for a trademark on the term "heroin,"
then began marketing the drug as a cure for morphine addiction. It
was also marketed as cough syrup for children.
2. Parke-Davis,
a subsidiary of Pfizer, promoted and sold cocaine.
It even produced a "cocaine injection kit" complete with a
syringe for shooting up. Skeptical? You can view the picture yourself

3.
A subsidiary of Novartis, Sandoz Laboratories, introduced the world
to LSD in 1938, marketing it as a psychiatric drug named Delysid.
This same drug company also created saccharin, the artificial
chemical sweetener.
4. Drug giant Merck
pioneered the commercial manufacture of morphine from opium and was a
heavy pusher and marketer of cocaine. Merck also patented MDMA
(Ecstasy, the rave drug). After World War II, Merck also began
producing pesticides and food preservatives.
5. Ritalin is
"speed" for children. A chemical amphetamine, Ritalin is
made of controlled substances that would land you in prison if you
sold them to a kid on the street, yet the drug is currently
prescribed to millions of school children in the United States to
treat a "brain chemistry condition" which was invented by
the drug
companies.
6.
In the 1930's, drug companies marketed amphetamines as
over-the-counter inhaler medicines for treating nasal congestion.
Tablet amphetamines were also widely available in tablet form and
frequently abused by students, truck drivers and other groups.
7.
Meth was originally synthesized by chemists and later refined by drug
companies. During WWII, "meth"
was actually prescribed to soldiers by the U.S.,Germany and Japan .
Even Hitler was known as a "meth head" by his own staff. By
the end of the war, millions of military personnel were addicted to
the drug.
Today, meth ("crank") is made from
ingredients found in over-the-counter cold medicines. While a meth
epidemic sweeps America,
destroying entire communities and even threatening some states (
Hawaii in particular), drug companies insist their cold medicines
should remain over the counter and not be classified as controlled
substances. There is currently no legislative effort whatsoever to
ban over-the-counter cold medicines containing the chemicals used to
create meth.
Also related: Coca-Cola really did contain
cocaine during its first few decades on the market (it also contained
kola nut extract, hence the name). Cocaine was later removed from the
formula and replaced with caffeine, a substance that is similarly
addictive and serves much the same purpose.
Once you realize
the connection between street drugs and prescription
drugs,
it's easy to figure out why Big
Pharma
is such a strong supporter of the Partnership
For A Drug-Free America
-- because they don't want consumers getting their drugs from
street dealers, they want people buying their drugs from drug
companies! Drug companies' attempts to outlaw street drugs are
little more than a way of eliminating the competition and
monopolizing the drug market.
Ultimately, Big Pharma is just
another drug pushing cartel that has the same goals as any drug
dealer: Convince customers they need your drug, get them hooked on
it, and eliminate the competition.
The only difference is that
Big Pharma has been so successful at dealing drugs that it has enough
funds to buy off Congress, the Food and Drug Administration and
practically the entire psychiatric industry (not to mention medical
schools and mainstream media outlets).
Today, more than 40
percent of the U.S. population ingests FDA-approved synthetic
chemicals manufactured and marketed by drug companies.
Drug
companies think this number is too low. Their goal is to have 100
percent of the U.S. population taking not just one drug per day, but
multiple drugs every day, for life.
There
are several other bits of information that Mike didn’t mention
that everyone should know.
Bayer
pharmaceutical is a company that also manufactures chemicals for
agriculture and other uses. This is also a company that was an off
shoot of I G Farben. Farben was part of the Nazi organization that
did experiments on Jews in the concentration camps. They also
produced fluoride that was given to the German people so that they
would go along with Hitler and it was used to make the Jews docile so
that they would go willingly into the gas chambers. Fluoride in the
water depletes lithium from our bodies, which creates depression.
This is why it is so important to buy a water filtration system to
remove the fluoride and chlorine form the public water supply.
Another
example of what drug companies do to the population is Merck,
Pharmaceutical Corporation, that made Vioxx. This is a drug used for
pain in arthritis. This drug made 160,000 people ill with heart
attacks and strokes with 60,000 dieing from heart attacks and
strokes. Our FDA and Merck knew about the illness and deaths for five
years and they did nothing to stop the deaths. This type of problem
is rampant in health care today.
Another
short note is that 80 percent of surgeries today are useless. Surgery
is around to make doctors and drug companies rich.
Emergency
surgery is the exception and it is essential for the survival of many
people.
