BIG PHARMA EXTORTS PEOPLE WORSE THAN SOMALI PIRATES

BIG PHARMA EXTORTS PEOPLE WORSE THAN 
SOMALI PIRATES

 An old saying has it that nature heals while doctors take the fee. But 
our guest today argues that doctors’ relationship with money has come 
into direct conflict with nature’s ability to heal. How blurry is the 
line between healing and killing? Well, to discuss it I am now joined by
 Dr. Peter Gøtzsche, director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre. Now, the 
central thesis of your work is that people in the developed world 
consume too many drugs, and quite often it’s the drugs rather than 
pre-existing conditions that end up killing them. How big is the 
problem? It is an enormous problem. It’s one of the biggest problems
 we have in the world today, but people don’t realize how terrible it 
is. I have estimated that our prescription drugs are the third major 
killer after heart disease and cancer. And I have recently looked at 
psychiatric drugs, and these drugs are so harmful that they alone are 
also your third major killer after heart disease and cancer.
