systems keep down man. he should he did you pull. a motor car or will it will mean this is killing me so. i don't want to do that number or most of us. we decided to explore a little known area within the health industry the blood trail. our investigation took us to france germany and the us they don't like arrest or interview the i don't know if. they don't want something a do or right they need to stop public want to know. today carlos is donating blood despite his busy job he's a regular blood donor at the red cross center and lows on carlos sees his act as a sign of commitment to the community. of the state it's more than one hundred million donations are collected each year worldwide in two thousand and fifteen.

the swiss red cross registered three hundred eleven thousand donations the figure diminishes each year and they're constantly seeking new donors their message is clear giving blood saves lives. southwest of the mind of new. sickish for it did not add to. the money to do more. good the additional. this couldn't keep one. pushed who've come in can to build a pool on the naked crucial not to get. flu mad. if you go to the effort to see blood is a quite peculiar jews. said devil with glee but he's not the only want to be

interested health is also an industry and blood donations are subject to the laws of the market. but. this. when you don't before giving blood these swiss donors must complete a medical question here and give their informed consent in particular there is one line at the end of the form a sentence in small letters i am aware that some components of my donation may be used for the production of drugs only a few donors read this line though it's crucial in reality most of the donated blood is sold to private companies something the red cross doesn't advertise. to help them i hope that sponsored a thousand look spent on. the sin fold loot spend in the us highest in these the

boot spend and since not in the loop in the us plus more. investment need. and good thoughts to him on that include tile in the system plus muscle. sent the samangan detect indenture tail him to be tail ticed foot putts he entered the eye nicolson to tool stop and decent he says well the woman is at stealth and uses the title to us into fast off to put scent gate in the so going on to talk till needed into steep ascent federman. pluto took their own to come into. the plasma fractionation industry these are the pharmaceutical companies that buy eighty thousand liters of plasma from the red cross each year the humanitarian institution makes nearly ten million swiss francs from the sale of the donors aware of it.

yes tween a song pop awesome. i know many. shows i. don't wonder so i'm against it if it were the needle song. vernia it was a spin a kiss wait to see it done is appeal to the summit and launching. them when you don't do some shopping assault first discovery the majority of the donors blood is sold to pharmaceutical industries. the industry is so interested in carlos's blood for a specific reason it's liquid part called plasma contains sought after proteins. they are used to make very expensive and profitable drugs. who are the players behind this industry. we decided to track the plasma trade.

welcome to see it sounds last typically fifty seven percent of our blood is made of a plastic plastic is a strong colored liquid poison the whole of life that transports water and nutrients to all sounds or not it is composed of approximately ninety percent water and ten percent plasma plasma industry is healing chant a handful of companies share the world market baxter in the usa c.s.l. bearing in australia and your foals in spain and the company pharma in switzerland which we discover through these promotional films material is produced by the perfect bio reactor developed over millions of years of evolution the human body for these companies plasma is nothing but a raw material and very lucrative to europe and the professional term is fractionation the name of the procedure that try. forms donors plasma entered drugs

to do this with a callback to freeze and mix thousands of liters of human plasma these companies control a market which is worth seventeen billion dollars and growing steadily history so that the plasma gong margaery the president and co-founder of dr pharma is a very discrete person forbes estimates his fortune at six billion dollars this is one of his very rare public appearances how do you see the future developing these products lifesaving drugs and they will be quiet for some patients as a lifelong therapy presumably they're covered by in most insurance they have to be as to very expensive but that is also the other part of the same from the same calling them many countries who simply cannot afford to provide this kind of level of treatment to the population yet at least it sounds easy when you say replies

will be available enough to just go through your country you take the plows and then you'll be in good shape when you make those products it's not the case. remains a family business dedicated to going to patients to go. in that like adventure. throughout the world the lives of millions of patients depend on these treatments tomorrow is one of them today she's receiving her treatment at a hospital in bear since childhood she suffers from an immune deficiency that causes repeated infections. there thanks to her plasma based treatment tamar's life has become easier so much so that it would be difficult for her to go without.

and they may say shut up it's very yarn yes. so in order to escape with with it on to set the show for it and that it it today in fact in fact the only bit. if i'm out of office what he had or didn't forsee all of whom are. on disc eight not everest but i'm ok. dubious futile. as the cac moon hopefully especially trying. to get day for the not fair amount when my head. clerk put him on the south and make up but so you have a day before or so to create. as a shop get up and take some kind this off with the piece that. on the empty could also flash plugin to do seek to try to flee not is something to see them. as a. feat to see them simply react to fit on the cake approach band

unorthodox in america right there is no meant to comment on the no coming on the very most likely to emulate creator from it from us and we see that clear out that . the case of the so. that group from pick call door this moment that would be arched brasso. coppa clip was quickly said to be a seed of. where is her life changing drug from where is the blood in the drug from from swiss donors. think it does. i want me. to race me. next they. didn't know what. the plasmas origin isn't public information it's

a trade secret we decide to visit swiss medic this is the swiss authority in charge of drug control including their origin these expert analyzed plasma samples each week as well as the blood derived products that are used in hospitals. not just in profit pools in yet in brooklyn is they not only cooked and it's just. that i wanted. to pass an occultist film. he said. ali quote time that i think will be down to taste. but the bait but the. live feed . didn't do it in. the can it be simply going to. sit by the fish. competition made up stuff for my pleasure ok if

it's good to feed as he stands because look you more. or less. his fan base will comply fully formed if you see. one fish eating occurrence. of police to. the spent. so it's far worse than say worse i was stunned it's the name. if you see in the image just sale for you to pick from from fifty cities check the new one saying it was. the feeling when. i was. ten. simpson these had to do you see in the last fight to the last in france he scraped . it includes two through from cleveland. west twenty fifth street. cleveland united states

we decided to travel there. seemed wrong. just don't hold. me. to shape out these days because the ticket and engage equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want.

to go on to be press it's like the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first sit. down with up close some of the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. first offense. that they just stepped right. into the three we have maintained the medical men they believe they have this is the this is for

me. like. me. i don't know maybe they'll get a. break right. now one. muscle in the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic. life in them a little bit before this on the celestial get out of that it was it's a thought about the traditional story son us i am somebody who got as weak as minor leagues in a school math exam and that deep while the city's tried desperately not to collapse

all powerful corporations collect a profit a vision to make will what will put to the couple who will probably go on the dole coffee cup attala economy in the us was up the on saabs knock up the supposed it to me in a. good part of my mind. as a tourist phobia wolf in a phone tone identity. quest twenty fifth street the address listed in swiss medics registered some of the players used in the drug sold in switzerland comes from here. this blood collection center belongs to the australian company c.s.l. donate plasma save lives earn up to two hundred dollars a month. there are donor ads everywhere which tell us that the volunteers are paid for their blood. as opposed to most european countries the usa allows compensation

for blood donations this practice is legal. we enter the premises which are under heavy surveillance impossible to speak with the status it will just take it just have to take action she did you know we do from the outside from the ok for us the create an across the street is good to get to. the center is in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods. cleveland is a devastated city the financial crisis of two thousand and eight was a. fatal blow. pastor lester williams knows the reality of life in this neighborhood many of his church followers sell their plasma.

t.v. that. would argue you know war is legal i will help rob we're going to. do it but what you strange is that companies they continue to call this a donation. but what she's a donation way when you pay someone is not a dotage. it's not it's not free just with a donation should be should be free of until they do exploiting exploiting people who are in whatever conditions he is economically. and actually now to do a nation to actually pay him for valid in charge of the. charge in switzerland

for the pleasant and so make your money on it in both ways you know cut a little bit to giving to these people is not very much. in cleveland all the market leaders are represented to see south poles. we also find octave pharma the swiss company which produces tamara's drug. like that to. that of a bull market goes there twice a week to sell its plasma. budget right now where a month for thirty two bucks for red forty five dollars for a full fifty dollars a month insurance is so so out of it to say of the ballpark around. trying to turn twenty five a month and i found out that i can with a plasma or you know or you know that's the problem when you're on tight budget

it's a fragile thing to know. we wanted to go inside with him to speak with the people in charge this turned out to be impossible the hostility increased the closer we got to the center and. nothing you were almost property is that is now my friend everything so we question donors outside in the parking lot. first those this kind of like the extra money thing you know just to get a little money on the side you know hope new bills and stuff. and in a just kind of became a regular firstly first start you get fifty dollars the first. new customer in after on tuesday or any two days of the week and get twenty dollars and then it go up to forty dollars along if you've been donating now for a year. it's starting to let you know two times

a week that's it yes this. is good for the families is good for my family and. one hand washing. you know and does it for any kind of moral reason no one does it for them or no one no one does it because it helps people it's just it's one of the side effects is that it helps. the procedure is well established as soon as the plasma bottle is full the donor's credit card is credited. here very here now. this is the plasma or blood bank or. like a regular of visa card your they put their money on your card immediately after you get done. sometimes. they forget to put the money on your car and you've got to call the number on your car you know because if you don't call

the number on you're still going to be without money. after the economic crisis donations soared in the usa going from fifteen million in two thousand and seven to thirty two million in two thousand and fourteen look shaper is a sociologist at michigan university. when we look at the numbers of families reporting cash income. two dollars per person per day in any given month. it well more than doubles over a fifteen year period and when we look at the number of families who are who are on food stamps it actually quadrupled emergency that goes through the roof so when all of these things are put in the same direction and. we walked into the plasma clinic down the street and just asked people why are you here what's going

on people lost their jobs haven't been able to find work and. in many cases that's going to be the only and i mean in the household and to their only option. we rejoined mark at the entrance to the center it didn't work out the way he wanted the center refused him because his blood pressure was too high. to be able to donate. and it's very important. i take my blood pressure medication and i think i think. that then if you can build a it's it's it's a find it show issue it is it is it is. likely it's not life or death it's not asked to do. its stuff. i might have to ask friends if they you know just for you know i mean i'll take

care of it soon i'll be able to i'll be able to get my blood pressure straighten out and that's why it is good for me to travel. we accompanied him to a small subsidized apartment that he's been living in for a year. money to make a cell phone home when i had my stroke it was about three years ago i went into the doctor's to be quite honest i was drinking a lot i was doing drugs i was combining a lot of bad stuff you know so the next day i went to the cleveland clinic which is one of our really good hospitals in cleveland and the word with people that told of a lot of money is you get raided it when you get raided it may mean you can

basically go there for free and get health care and as we're qualifying the lady doing it you say oh you're way below poverty level i'm like way below you know there's below and there's a way below so that was an eye opener. there are times when. for my own self-esteem. i don't want to accept help or want to be able to. say no thanks but no fix to a god to farm. it's kind of easy money. it's necessary at least for me it's necessary. for mark and many other americans blood is last source of income.

if you got sick he could no longer donate he'd have no income. but all of these blood donations are affecting his health. david this is a doctor in one of the city's largest public hospitals metro health is the safety net system for cleveland we take care of people or guard this of their ability to pay for a lot of our patients and the people that we take care of at metro health this is their one of the few strategies that they can use to get money out of the literature of say about the long term effects of donating blood to the weak i couldn't find anything in the literature describing what the effects or i know from talking to my patients who do donate plasma that they're tired so they get fatigued they have headaches but beyond that. and now all i know is the red cross has one

time a month and these guys are doing it twice a week. to talk to this individual who was donating my patient and he may not be able to afford a cell phone bill or rents and that is more important for his health potentially than the down side effects of donating because if he doesn't have a cell phone he can't get a job. or he can't pay his bills. you know how free is so. this is. the dilemma that weren't. but if you could earn extra money while doing something great for others to farm up last month you can not only our plasma donations by dole to the treatment of rare chronic internet diseases you could also the usa is the world's main exporter of human plasma with seventy percent of the world market their success is based on a foolproof recipe by building on this type of campaign they nurture the image of

a country with excellent sanitary conditions. the market is under the supervision of the food and drug administration the f.d.a. stamp is a guarantee of quality opening the doors to the international market each week frozen plasma is dispatched in shipments mainly to europe. this is the other side of the american dream masses of poor people willing to sell their blood they provide an unlimited pool of primary material we wanted to understand the conditions in which blood is collected seven am in cleveland in the parking lot of the pharma. doing no more dead heat we were abject at and i want to get no more i just small and i didn't need flour we need it most killed me so. i don't want. today and i'm i get a raise to this was

a provider. you know much of. these stories illustrate the industrial pace and inadequate checks however the farmer assures the authorities that there is strict donor monitoring but if that's the case why didn't the swiss company let a santa you have just why did they prevent us from talking to the staff it's just how are its donors selected to check we had to go and see for ourselves with a hidden camera. with no make this manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. with the final merry go round to listen to the one percent so.

we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is. the world. food going can be taken into the afterlife that's a lot of people from the future are now arriving in the present like the law must is able to pay for is very into the present using bitcoin he doesn't talk about it much because he's already considered to be quite a strange man but you know that's the truth. the knot winds up. enough lives up to let down one by its nature the definition. one seeking that he needs. to. take in the equal sitting. ducks to give them to the new they're going to bring. i only said i'm. not.

going to let you know let me. just kill him if one means i love this guy you know be deep. them tokyo find it he's going to keep going. to let. his look was because. he's.

i mean. it's. good to know what to. think i know. u.s. officials are now conducting searches of russia's the diplomatic premises in san francisco or washington that was shut down on the state department's. on the move calling it a clear violation of international law. missing an example you need to match the limitations it's an illegal take over the crushing corporate she proud of having been expecting so she's going to give us something we don't call comes out. that he uses counterterrorism chief is revealed britain has the highest number of islamist extremists.
