The BIGGEST scam in modern medicine
Isn’t this special?
The drug industry’s moneymakers AREN’T out to cure a major disease. Heck, they’re not even interested in providing just a LITTLE relief from PART of a disease.
No, the big thing now is drugs that fix problems… ones that THEIR DRUGS created in the first place!
They’re making you PAY through the nose for TOXIC meds that POISON you… and then essentially forcing you pay up a second time for the antidote.
It’s like a small-time mob racket.
But I’m here to get you out of this “business” for good… and make that sure you NEVER get pulled back in!
An offer you CAN refuse
You’ve seen how it works in the movies: The goons show up and demand “protection” money, and if you don’t pay up, you find your windows smashed the next day.
Yes, you need protection all right — from THEM!
Well, friend, Big Pharma has the same racket going on right now.
It gets you to take a med you probably didn’t even need in the first place, like one of the powerful new blood thinners that have quickly earned a reputation as some of the most dangerous meds of all.
When these drugs do something awful to you… when you find yourself on the wrong end of those terrible side effects… when they THREATEN your LIFE… guess what?
You go to the hospital, where the fix is in: Big Pharma gives you a second drug that’s essentially the antidote to the first.
But this isn’t one of the Godfather sequels or an episode of The Sopranos. This is real life – and it’s so dangerous that you may want to consider entering a witness protection program just to avoid getting put in the crosshairs.
The FDA just approved a drug called Andexxa, which reverses the effects of Xa inhibitors, a class of blood thinners that includes rivaroxaban (a.k.a. Xarelto) and apixaban (a.k.a. Eliquis).
As the company that makes Andexxa celebrated the approval, it fired off some jaw-dropping numbers, saying that those Xa inhibitors caused 117,000 hospital admissions and 24,000 deaths in 2016 alone.
That’s like a jumbo jet crashing, killing everyone aboard… EVERY WEEK!
This isn’t even the most egregious example of this ugly racket in action.
A few weeks earlier, the FDA signed off Praxbind, an antidote to the blood thinner dabigatran (a.k.a. Pradaxa).
In this case, the company that makes the original drug is ALSO the company that makes the antidote.
That’s convenient, all right… but how is that even LEGAL?!
And just last month, the feds also approved a drug to “cure” hyperkalemia, or too much potassium in the blood.
That doesn’t happen from eating too many bananas.
In most cases, it’s caused by drugs — often beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers taken for high blood pressure.
Of course, this “cure” drug has side effects of its own. It can lead to the scary fluid build-ups of edema in more than 1 in 10 of the people who take it.
Sometimes, the edema goes away on its own, but sometimes you need (you guessed it) yet ANOTHER drug, like a diuretic, to take care of it.
Now, you’re on a med… for the side effects of a med… that you took for the side effects of another med.
Talk about a racket!
If you want real “protection,” avoid taking the very first drug that started this whole chain reaction in the first place.
In most cases, you can get by with natural therapies under the guidance of a doc who knows how to cure — not just how to medicate.
