Few people probably remember Tamiflu, the only drug that could save us from the nightmare of bird flu. A week ago, an article appeared on brownstone.org: The Multi-Billion Dollar Tamiflu Con.
A repeated refrain in my writings is that “disease mongering”—the fine art of widening disease definitions to turn healthy people into patients—is alive and well. This activity turns many of us “worried well” into lifelong paying customers of the pharmaceutical industry, all on the basis of drugs we are often told are to “prevent” a bad outcome.
Whenever someone is trying to hand you a prescription for a drug that will “prevent” a bad outcome, you have to look them in the eye and ask the single most important question in modern medicine: “What happens if I do nothing?” Because as the Tamiflu disaster proves, doing nothing might just save your life.
No one can deny the pharmaceutical industry’s creativity—especially when it comes to inventing and promoting new diseases. The expansion of sales markets for pharmaceutical products relies primarily on creating problems labeled as diseases and offering harmful solutions labeled as medications. Take ADHD, for example: It’s not uncommon for boys to be judged by behavioral standards that are typical of girls. Their energy is then hastily classified as troubling—and treated as a disorder. Such a boy ends up at a neurologist’s office, where the doctor already has a ready-made solution: a prescription for Ritalin—a potent drug comparable to cocaine. Source.
Another example is type 2 diabetes. We are already facing a global pandemic of this type of “diabetic,” most of whom are simply healthy. All it took was lowering the normal blood sugar level from 120 mg/dl thirty years ago to today’s 100 mg/dl. Today’s threshold is set so that any healthy person can easily meet it. And that is exactly the point. I heard of a case in which an acquaintance was found to have a blood sugar level of 102 mg/dl in a lab test, and based on that single test, the doctor worked with the patient to develop a plan to lower the blood sugar with medication. As a result, another “diabetic” was added to the statistics.
