How to Survive the "Three Stooges of Health Care"

An FDA Asleep at the Wheel
The Drug Company Fat Cats
Our Slapstick but Deadly Medical System

Dear Friend of Newsmax,

It happened again today.

I heard on the news about some new FDA plan to ensure that prescription drugs are actually as safe as advertised.

If you're anything like me, you know it's just the same story, different day.

Between the FDA, the giant pharmaceutical cartels and our mangled medical system, it's just another episode of the Three Stooges — n'yuk n'yuk n'yuk.

It would actually be funny . . . if it weren't so deadly.

You probably remember that in 2004, Merck took its "wonder drug" Vioxx off the market when studies showed that it doubled your risk of a heart attack.

Yet shockingly, these studies were not "new" news. Memos from Merck prove that they knew of Vioxx' connection to heart attack and stroke but covered it up before they even submitted the data for approval.

Even more shocking, Merck actually wants to bring Vioxx back to the market, this time as a cancer-inhibiting drug!

Vioxx — More Deadly Than the Iraq War?
Perhaps Merck assumes we've forgotten about the estimated 139,000 Americans that died from Vioxx during its first incarnation (more than 46 times as many American military personnel killed in Iraq to date).

The saddest truth of all when it comes to your health?

The #1 killer in our society is not cancer or heart disease. The #1 killer is the health care system itself (something doctors call iatrogenic death). This includes death from:

Medications
Surgical errors
Hospital-acquired infections
Diagnostic machines
Hospital-acquired malnutrition
So how can you protect yourself, particularly when it comes to your prescription drugs?

Obviously, you can't depend on the namby-pamby FDA to protect you from unsafe drugs.

Safety For Sale: The Ugly Truth about the FDA
The fact is, FDA scientists live under enormous pressure from their supervisors to keep information about side effects to themselves, knowing their jobs and promotions are at stake.

In turn, supervisors are pressured by influential politicians and bureaucrats who receive support of various kinds from powerful pharmaceutical companies.

How do I know all this?

Well, let's just say I have a "medical spy" at Newsmax — as do thousands of our readers.

I just finished reading Dr. Russell Blaylock's new issue of the Blaylock Wellness Report (published by Newsmax). This time, he really spills the beans about the FDA, the big drug companies and our bumbling medical system — the Three Stooges of health.

What I read sent shivers down my spine . . .
