some of the pharmaceutical companies fell from a city to could be profitable not budge you avoid all the striving and that he would see foresee a necessary to find a new drug or health problem pointing to something made to some c.z. or to use existing drugs. and in what end the health problems to match the drug i don't like the new me come on thinks i system is reversed if that can see his own companies have a portfolio of medications it will says usada leave it for some reason we aren't earning profits so it's good for the common we invent an illness sort problem you want problem just sell the drugs it was an exe when magine you're an auto manufacturer. if you're not in business to make wheels of a kid the usual you go for a few amputees see fit your goal is to make attractive automobile. to

maintain your position. on the biggest markets in every industries and especially pharmacy from his must solve the same problem. in other words to keep goals riving he end of story is not healthy but important is helping patients and so karma is driven by potential profit in the markets where sales and prices can be maximum going to see. the industry is always trying to expand the market to sort of so it has an interest in expanding diagnostic criteria sickly obviously most people have normal blood

pressure. there is a small minority presenting one hundred sixty or one hundred seventy with one hundred seventy millimeters of mercury and even smaller minority has a blood pressure of one hundred eighty even few higher so the threshold chosen to define hypertension presumed one determines the number of patients or customers and a sales. don't. feel leads many pharmaceutical firms want to have to encourage doctors to broaden the criteria demanded eastward to make diagnosing the disease don't you so that medication especially for more people to manage it for me to take one thousand adults with a blood pressure over one hundred sixty over ninety pondering if you prescribe a medication to treat hypertension compound you know. what i have years it will have prevented a stroke you'll start ten or twenty people and that's good for those individuals everyone's happy for them when he decides me but i think of the order of. well

they're gone they're gone measurably most of the people taking the medication to somebody if he's zero benefit company did but they didn't something. if the threshold for hypertension is lowered. or that could be even more people will be treated or no benefit is being exposed to adverse side effects to the general sales i was active eating healthy i thought i was in great shape so i was surprised when my doctor told me i still had high cholesterol that really hit me and got me thinking about my health i knew i had to get my cholesterol under control i thought i was doing enough to lower my cholesterol but i needed more help what are you doing about yours in the extreme what i've been able to do is to persuade everybody that the cholesterol levels that you find in twenty five year olds are the

norm this is what we all ought to be any at and based on this you find that the cholesterol. levels that are found in how the populations of france and germany mean that ninety five percent of germans and french are technically ill from industries point of view this is wonderful it's a huge market they're in the business of been able to say to huge lance people that you should be on the staten group of drugs to lower your cholesterol levels and lower the rest you will have a heart attack. a stroke when in actual fact we know that if you don't have the other risk factors if you haven't had a heart attack are stopped before and if you aren't overweight and if you don't smoke taking this group of drugs just because you've got i marched in the raised.

cholesterol level increases your risk of death and in the cholesterol guidelines the last major revision was in two thousand and one in the american cholesterol guidelines nine out of fourteen of the experts who were on the panel that set the standards had financial ties to the drug companies now this is very important because the two thousand and one guidelines almost tripled the number of americans for whom staton therapy was recommended the number it went from thirteen million to thirty six million and most of the twenty three million people for whom status became recommended based on those guidelines did not yet have heart disease.

one in five people in this high cholesterol millions need treatment to be cholesterol community would becomes known later to their critics as the cholesterol mafia are interested in pursuing not only the premise that lowering cholesterol can be results in better cardiovascular outcomes but in really pushing forward a promotional message to the american population. on a sort of an individual consumer level on a specific patient level and on a provider based level these multiple tiers of health targeted promotional movie. cols to get the american population concerned about their cholesterol in the know your number of campaign comes across as a as a way of getting all americans to identify with the number that one should have in one's consciousness a sense of what their cholesterol number is so doctors will measure their patients

cholesterol and if and the patients will ask for their cholesterol to be measured and if the cholesterol aside the doctor will often say mr mrs jones your cholesterol is a little bit high why don't you come back in three months and in the between now and then why don't you exercise more and eat a healthier diet and we'll see if your cholesterol goes down and then we won't have to treat you if you cholesterol goes down and more often than not cholesterol won't go down that much with these healthy lifestyle interventions and then the doctor will say well mr or mrs jones i'm sorry your cholesterol hasn't gone down so we'll give you a cholesterol lowering medication and then you won't have to worry about it but they've completely missed the boat because taking the action of exercising more and eating a healthier diet is going to decrease the risk of heart disease somewhere around sixty or eighty percent that's a normal slee effective therapeutic intervention. and when the doctor says well

we'll give you a cholesterol lowering drug you want to worry about all that other stuff that's so hard to do the doctor is focusing on the wrong thing because the patient has done the successful intervention to change their lifestyle the doctor doesn't understand that the change in lifestyle may not lower cholesterol but it will certainly reduce risk of heart disease bob dole courage something shared by countless americans. those are risk their lives. those who battled serious illness when i was diagnosed with prostate cancer i was primarily concerned with reading myself for the cancer but secondly i was concerned about possible post-operative side effects like correct dysfunction. often called if the you know it's a little embarrassing to talk about. but it's all in that incident of their partners bob dole lost the presidential election against clinton now clinton. not only was president but he probably also didn't need it but. he needed both the

medication and the money you know presidential campaigns are expensive and. so he became a spokes person for this i'm brand of campaign and he really was associated with vadra with progress. and this was very important because. this thing of talking about it so you really needed somebody. very senior very well respected very conservative ok you can't have a hippie or an old rock star or talk about the you really want to penetrate you know middle america the more conservative people because there's more of them then when all the hippies. so. this was perfect ok perfect person senator coming from the south war veteran very respected talking about the it made a difference for many many people. he said well he has the courage to talk about it

. and russia trees being gay is not criminalised there are absolutely no punishment for being gay in russia the only thing that these small is spreading information family information on nontraditional sexual behavior what are you going to legislate against couples who swing you know who. you know trade partners or is it only as certain type of sex that you're legally able to you know it is so. propaganda you know it's so unclear. i think that all of these areas where you have the rise of what is called right

there was dissatisfied action with with left wing. my my friend in berlin does not seem to be aware of how widespread is this shit germany is and having spent the last forty years and in an academic lunatic asylum i assure you that it is total in many many quarters of american life. i was in academia for a while i pondered to this real joking as well as john's so i'm going to jump in london yeah i mean i think spending time in the lunatic asylums is kind of affected his you know thinking a little bit to the point is that in the u.k. he. be across europe values have changed cultural values have changed need to become much more tolerant much more open much more liberal and space even in the united states.

even if. president scram found. it on the run for pennsylvania. was michigan elects to install mr tiddles it's his image trillion dollar amounts with the production of a drug like zones dividing the north you have industry doing and able to persuade is that any variation from one hundred percent. rigidity the whole time is a dysfunction it's an illness and that it needs to be treated so before we had a group of older men who had other physical conditions which meant that they

couldn't perform at the sexual point of view who would have been an extremely small market for drugs like viagra now we have young men in their teens who are being encouraged to think things out and salute the perfect the whole time that they have an illness and that's the pillars and and so to the problems that they have. because if it's even. if you say because you shot your gal. did. the deficit a cause do. you see something and of. the ship excuse. to find a problem to fix something. i just picked up the sunday newspaper about

a week ago in the sports pages a full page ad for cialis which is a product for a male erectile disfunction someone to buy a bra. and. another form of monitoring to me is taking a drug that might have occasional use or even routine use like a drug for when a man wants to be intimate or have intercourse he thinks about taking his viger or his cialis makes sense but the ad had two things in it one it was a coupon and it said cut this out bring it to your doctor for a free trial of cialis so that caught my attention you could say ok you know getting the consumer involved in thinking about their disorder and their symptoms a form of market expansion but it also said take cialis every day to be ready. so kind of preying on a sort of nail. you never know when you're going to be ready for sex so you better

have your system but very clever marketing it's become a maintenance medication. often the place you. went to. a good example of the marketing of

a diagnosis would be the depression diagnosis specifically major depression and then i had sixty's and seventy's anxiety was the big diagnosis everybody had some kind of and was i had a disorder and the drug class for treating anxiety disorders was ready to hand it was the benzodiazepines that is a drug plastic librium and valley grown men some of the big drug users were once. there that are in fact called anxiolytics ok. and with drug companies marketing to minnesota has opinions but they market it was a diety so that physicians were encouraged in the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's to see anxiety when a patient comes in and sits down and the patient's been a little bit weepy and tired but is also nervous and anxious well you've got anxiety disorder we're going to prescribe value ok and then what happened in the one nine hundred eighty s. was that the benzodiazepines librium in value started to be associated with

addictiveness and both the public and the physicians fled from them in panic thinking by god we don't want to put our patients on drugs that will addict them and this then created a huge opportunity for depression they enter the picture you know when you feel the weight of sadness you may feel exhausted hopeless and anxious whatever you do you feel lonely and don't enjoy the things you once loved things just don't feel like they used to these are some symptoms of depression a serious medical condition affecting over twenty million americans this led industry to persuade people that where they thought they were i'm just before and they weren't that behind. the exactly as they thought they had lay an illness they were depressed they had to ellis there came was lowered sirrah

totem poles and these pills were going to be like this woman's they were going to top the spirit told him that falls up depression may be related to an imbalance of natural chemicals between nerve cells in the brain you just shouldn't have to feel this one more. doctor can diagnose depression everybody can recognize symptoms and . depression is defined as five out of nine symptoms of a given list of nine symptoms for at least two weeks duration. those symptoms include sadness lack of pleasure things like fatigue insomnia loss of appetite lack of concentration on your usual tasks roles as well as thinking about death. slowing down to mobility called cycle motor retardation and a few other symptoms like that so as you can see just from that list a lot of people could meet that criterion could have symptoms of fatigue insomnia

sadness not interested in their usual activities and so on for a period of two weeks after many many different stressors. now what's happened with these criteria is that they aren't only used in clinicians offices if they were only used in clinicians offices many clinicians would make the discrimination between a normal response to loss loss job loss love whatever betrayal versus a true mental disorder at least someone but what's happened is these criteria have become so they are fighting the culture they are considered the definition of mental disorder officially a person is emotional. that interest. five out of nine criteria is a little arbitrary probably people who have less than five criteria might have a borderline or milder condition and in physicians' offices these checklists they

used actually say if they have less than the five symptoms then they may qualify for subsidies romel or sub threshold or minor depression goes under various names so you see how the you go down a pathway from these specific symptoms criteria it takes you down a pathway that leads to virtually any episode of sadness due to a loss of life as being potentially have followed your eyes and treated kind of automatically with medication. exist in minute sixty two she will keep me going to prison or else. the minute he keep it was opposite a county. but in the late one nine hundred ninety s. three selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor in group drugs began to come off patent. and this left industry with a problem first of all they could have replaced the s.s.

arise with a new group of of antidepressants if they had drugs that were better than yes that's right if they had drugs they were more effective than yes that's right they could have said to doctors well yes all these patients that you're treating for being depressed are depressed but we now have a better group of drugs to treat them with problem for industry was that they couldn't actually produce drugs that were better than the older drugs that were there before hand and it seemed to intercede to increase me to industry to be a better state better strategy to do what they had done twenty years before which was to convert patients who had been seen as bianchi's over into cases of depression but now to convert them from cases of depression into cases of bi polar disorder bipolar disorder is challenging and can affect you john and family and friends for years and severe mood swings racing not unusually high energy and was

extremely irritable when you had manic depressive the list you often had a mood which was high and meant that you had to go into hospital and you remained ill for months when you went depressed you had a mood that was extremely severe could lead to you maybe committing suicide lity being in hospital and were often ill for months from industries point of view changing over to bi polar disorder meant that they could begin to capture any of the normal variations of mood that we all have bipolar disorder is a sign thing is many depression. in the nine helps you understand what's happening to you. but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. the

sorry. bipolar one disorder as it was termed was much the same kind of illness as classic manic depressive illness was but industry have been able to pick up research that has been done out there which suggests that there's also bi polar to disorder and bipolar three disorder and bipolar four disorder and bipolar spectrum disorder and what these refer to are pro aggressively milder and milder variations and they elicit that you ultimately get down to conditions where if you or i have a mood going up and down during the course of the day if you and i monday morning here if you're feeling the way an office feel on a monday morning and that's low mood and later on during the afternoon and things

have gone well you're going to be in much better form if you keep mood diary as industry have encouraged people to do then you produce a curve at the diary and your and courage to to think and your doctors also encouraged to think that curves like this which go from being low to being high even during the course of a single day are in fact the early forms of bi polar disorder and of course doctor it's a good idea to treat the early forms of the a list before it becomes more severe and treatable there's a tremendous pressure now because of the definitions. of these disorders and because of the freeness of handing out medication. there's a tremendous pressure on people to function socially optimally at every single

moment and if they do not if they are role impaired as the psychologists are saying then this suggests disorder and suggest they should immediately go in and get medication it seems to me one could argue this point but it seems to me that the kind of world that we're constructing potentially here for our children and grandchildren to inhabit is one that does not allow the full freedom of human emotion. as. a. child will rights. as. the. pain of the young girls can hold for the future harder.

between two and three hundred million guns united states so you can act like they're not here and keep kids away from them. the pass' that is the law or you know i mean this teaches them a lot of rather sponsibility and simply contemplate through the eyes of children if we can do it for our children for our future what the country will favor. live.

live. live live. live .
