The recent period has been very hard for pharmaceutical companies. Three major studies were published that completely refuted any effectiveness of several of the most commonly used drugs.
The consequences of these studies could be devastating for these companies, because these are extremely profitable drugs that often form the core of their revenues.
Only 1 of 14 antidepressant drugs is better than placebo
The first of the mentioned studies was published in the prestigious professional journal The Lancet. It admitted that the risks of antidepressant drugs in children significantly outweigh the benefits, because the drugs in question dramatically increase the risk of suicide.
Only one of the 14 drugs showed improvement in depression better than placebo.
Cholesterol-lowering drugs are said to be absolutely worthless
The second group of drugs that took a big hit were cholesterol-lowering medications. Those are taken today by almost every twentieth person and have proven to be completely worthless.
A group of international researchers published a study in the British Medical Journal (British medical journal), which found that there is no relationship between the so-called “bad cholesterol” and deaths due to heart disease.
On the contrary, the study concluded that up to 92 % of people with high blood cholesterol live longer.
Thus, the best way to maintain a healthy heart is not by taking cholesterol drugs, but by following the principles of a healthy lifestyle.
As Professor Sherif Sultan from the Irish University further states:
“Lowering cholesterol with drugs in people over 60 is a waste of time and resources.
On the other hand, changing lifestyle habits is the only and most important way to ensure quality of life in retirement. ”
Lowering cholesterol with drugs is a total waste of time
The study’s co-author, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, states:
“Older people with high levels of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins) actually lived longer and had less heart disease.”
These latest findings will have enormous impacts on the pharmaceutical industry, because cholesterol-lowering drugs are among their best-selling and most profitable products of all time.
According to the organization Health Impact News, just last year their sales reached $140 billion.
For this reason, guidelines and protocols regarding plaque deposition in vessels and arteries will need to be revised, say the study authors, adding that “the benefits of cholesterol drugs were exaggerated”.
The truth, however, is that their benefits were not just overstated, but totally 100 % fabricated and falsified. The same applies to antidepressants and vaccines.
In 2013 the portal Natural News published a report that doctors connected to the medical and pharmaceutical lobby are trying to have every third person take cholesterol drugs.
It was a move intended to ensure astronomical revenues for pharmaceutical companies and the doctors they sponsored.
When conflicts of interest were subsequently examined, it was difficult, indeed virtually impossible, to find a group of doctors who had no financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
A new study says that the current administration of vaccines to children is not safe
The third significant recent study that discredits pharmaceutical companies, published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, concerns childhood vaccines.
It found that the reality is once again completely different from what has been told to parents for many years when vaccinating their children.
For example, authorities recommend (in the Czech Republic mandatory by law) vaccinating with the Hexa vaccine (polio, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and Haemophilus influenzae type B) together with the pneumococcal vaccine.
This combination is currently administered to children up to 3 times during the first year of life!
The fact, however, is that this combination has never been tested for safety, says medical researcher Neil Z. Miller.
Conclusion
So there you have it! The reputation of the pharmaceutical industry, as well as government authorities, has no credibility. Therefore people should no longer trust them so much.
The best way to maintain your health is to practice a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, exercise and techniques to calm the mind such as yoga or meditation.
