WHO Scandal: Don’t Get Mad, Get Even
| June 16, 2010 | |
| Dr. Gary Huber : Head Medical Ego |
Legal and ethical transgressions by pharmaceutical companies are so routine these days that they hardly make a blip on the media’s radar. I saw yet another a few weeks back and wondered if it was worth mentioning to our readers. I opted not to as it’s not a positive story and I have no need to be seen as an industry watch dog or whistle blower.
Then a headline I can’t ignore smacks me in the face early one weekend morning. This one I couldn’t keep quiet about.
In bold letters were the words “WHO Scandal Exposed.” That’s the World Health Organization we’re talking about here.
It appears that top advisors to the WHO that encouraged the agency to raise the H1N1 flu situation to a “pandemic” had direct financial ties to the vaccine manufacturers that received a windfall of profits from such an announcement, as detailed in a report published in the British Medical Journal.
That set me off and I went on a bit of a writing spree about it, but on the upside it got me to outline some of the pros and cons of the system of pharmaceutical drugs and, even more important, outline some hard-hitting ways for us to empower ourselves to make changes to positively impact how we look and feel.
Empowerment, now we’re getting somewhere.
If you dare, read my full article that covers; my thoughts on big pharma, beneficial drug use, pros and cons of using drugs for symptoms like heart burn, cholesterol plus aches and pains in general.
We’ll look at drug use for issues like diabetes, and high blood pressure leading to heart disease, inflammation and even antibiotic use.
Even better I also cover every day habits and choices that can alter our hold on drugs and provide better solutions for the long term that will result in a much happier long term experience on the planet.
If you fancy yourself as the empowering kind, join me in the discussion.

Thank you for exposing the truth about how these decisions come about. I spent the last 4 years trying to recover from a flu shot that almost killed me. I spent 24 days in the hospital, 6 months in physical therapy on and on. If people knew this was a real possibility, they would skip the shot.
There is quite a lot of research going on with Vitamin D at present. Researchers are discovering that Vit D supports our immune health which includes prevention of colds and flu. If we don’t get enough Vit D from sunshine and food, it would be prudent to add a Vitamin D3 supplement to our daily regime.
