Friends, sorry to say, you have a right to know these things and I should not keep them from you!

1. In some states in the U.S., thanks to the Drug Companies and the “lock” on doctors by their doctors’ “union” – the American Medical Association - it is illegal for a doctor to treat any cancer patient with any method other than poisonous chemotherapy, burning radiation, or mutilating surgery. If they do, they will lose their license to practice medicine.
2. Doctors don’t know what else to do, because we physicians are never taught in our medical training how to get a patient truly well from cancer – or any other disease for that matter. All we are taught to do is, 1) give harmful, toxic drugs to cover up the symptoms of the disease and make the patient “feel” better – drugs that have numerous side effects that cause additional diseases, but never address the underlying cause of the initial disease which also continues to progress, or 2) cut out the patient’s organs or cut off their body parts. But no disease has ever been caused by a person having “too many” organs or “too many” body parts. That’s why cutting them off – or out – never cures the patient’s problem. The cancer will just come back in the same place, or a different place in the body, or the person will develop a different life-threatening disease.

1. Doctors see the horrible suffering their patients, relatives, and friends go through while on chemotherapy.
2. Doctors ALL know that chemotherapy causes cancer, so it makes no sense to “treat” a cancer patient with a supposed “therapy” that causes cancer - a disease the patient already has!
3. Doctors watch their patients who are taking chemotherapy grow weaker and weaker, becoming thinner, more fragile, and sicker, losing the majority of their muscle mass while at the same time, suffering from severe nausea, vomiting, hair loss and numerous other life-threatening side effects of the toxic drugs they are being given by their physician, the one who is supposed to help them. Yet, the physician’s “treatment” results in an abominable “quality of life” and actually encourages the spread of the patient’s cancer because the “treatment” suppresses their immune system, the one system that the patient needs in order to get well.
4. Doctors watch their patients, relatives, and friends, DIE as a result of the poisonous chemotherapy. Some cancer patients actually die from the poisonous chemotherapy drugs and not from their cancer!
5. Doctors also know that radiation causes cancer. That’s why doctors tell patients, “Don’t get too many x-rays. X-rays cause cancer because they are radiation.” How can a cancer patient be cured of cancer by being “treated” with a “therapy” that causes cancer?
6. Doctors know that both chemotherapy and radiation destroy the patient’s immune system, the one system in our body we need to get us well and keep us well. In fact, when these same chemotherapy drugs are given to patients who don’t have cancer but have just received an organ transplant, these drugs are referred to, by physicians, as “immunosuppressive drugs” because they “suppress” the “immune system” – the system in our body that is critical for recovery from disease.

“Merck has increased the prices of its drugs on a yearly basis, but we’ve tried to be constrained in how we’ve done it, in a way we think doesn’t prevent people from affording our drugs. There’s a huge challenge we face between trying to optimize access to our drugs in whatever pricing we establish, and trying to ensure that you have the resources to continue to pursue the next generation of drugs. We try to take a responsible, balanced approach.”

“For example, charging people a price commensurate with the actual outcomes that drugs produce. Now, there are a lot of barriers in the system to sharing risk with some of our customers. The laws around what we can and cannot do in our pricing model were made for a different environment. They weren’t made for performance-based contracting or risk-sharing or any of those kinds of experimental approaches to pricing that Merck actually is very eager to try out with some of its customers.”

• Merck recently spent $9.5 billion on marketing its drugs. The company spent only $7.5 billion on research and development. This means that the pharmaceutical company, like many others, is still in the business of pushing drugs, regardless of their increased benefit to consumers.

• Merck also recently had to pay out over $9 billion in settlements for its drug, VIOXX. Within five years of being approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of arthritis and menstrual pain, the painkiller was linked to thousands of heart attacks, strokes and deaths. At the same time, the drug’s manufacturer, Merck, vehemently denied any problems.

• Merck became a new entrant into a now-crowded market of drugs that treat Hepatitis C, approved by the FDA just months ago. Though it is by far the cheapest, priced at $54,600 for a 12-week course, and about 42% cheaper than market leader Gilead’s $13 billion-a-year Harvoni and a slightly smaller discount to AbbVie’s Viekira Pak, that’s still a ridiculous amount of money for anyone to pay for pharmaceutical drugs.
