By pinky, 13 January, 2010, 1 Comment

Alkaline diets is a hot topic these days. I’m hoping doctors will one day acknowledge the benefits of alkaline diets and start educating their patients about the direct corrolation between bad eating habits and how they impact our health. In the meantime, I found some articles that may be of interest to you.

I recently came across an article called The Laws of the Pharmaceutical Industry. The content  of this article is very important to me because I’ve always believed the pharmaceutical industry isn’t looking out for the well-being of people, like you and me.  The pharmaceutical industry driven by the profits of its shareholders. They are not concerned with improving human health at all.

Here are some points made in the article:

1 The pharmaceutical industry is an investment industry driven by the profits of its shareholders. Improving human health is not the driving force of this industry.

2 The pharmaceutical investment industry was artificially created and strategically developed over an entire century by the same investment groups that control the global petrochemical and chemical industries.

3 The huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry are based on the patenting of new drugs. These patents essentially allow drug manufacturers to arbitrarily define the profits for their products.

4 The marketplace for the pharmaceutical industry is the human body – but only for as long as the body hosts diseases. Thus, maintaining and expanding diseases is a precondition for the growth of the pharmaceutical industry.

5 A key strategy to accomplish this goal is the development of drugs that merely mask symptoms while avoiding the curing or elimination of diseases.

This explains why most prescription drugs marketed today have no proven efficacy and merely target symptoms.

Prescription medication is only a temporary band aid. In order to have strong healthy bones, they need to be constantly broken down and rebuild, which is what the body does. If your body doesn’t have the needed resources for this constant process, putting a band aid on the problem is not going to do you much good.
