Big Pharma: The Most Profitable Drug Cartel

I'm Not Yelling! I'm Dominican.

May 13 2024 • 51 mins

Unlock the secrets of modern medicine's evolution and the dominating presence of Big Pharma as we, Nachi and Damaris, guide you through the transformative era post-Flexner Report. Uncover startling truths about the pharmaceutical industry's foundation on petrochemicals, spurred by industry giants like John D. Rockefeller. We dissect the intricate relationship between healthcare providers and drug reps, exposing a system where profit often overshadows patient well-being. Our conversation sheds light on the pervasive influence of advertising in medicine, illuminating how it shapes patient and practitioner decisions.

Tune in for a candid discussion about the implications of an over-medicated society, where we share personal stories that echo the experiences of many. With more than half of American adults on prescription drugs, we question the ethics of a healthcare system seemingly more focused on symptom management than cures. From the controversial marketing strategies employed by pharmaceutical companies to the debate over vaccine safety and the role of medical freedom, we don't shy away from the hard questions.

As we advocate for taking control of personal health, we emphasize the power of informed decision-making and self-advocacy, especially when faced with life-altering medical recommendations. Discover the importance of a holistic health approach that prioritizes understanding your body's needs over the allure of quick fixes offered by the medical industry.
