United Nations of Pfizer

Plus the Demonic Dark Nudge

Dear Subscriber/Friend,

Recently, a longtime subscriber/follower wrote to me to tell me that she couldn’t afford to become a paid subscriber, and she was distressed that this prevented her from reading/commenting.

Nothing could be further from the truth—all my content, minus maybe one subscriber only post every 4-6 weeks, is offered for free.

If you are unable to read or comment, it could be an issue with your browser, or, a temporary glitch on Substack.

I would never exclude anyone due to economic reasons—of course, I do occasionaly ban a-holes.

Peace & Love

Cindy

“For ten years after the drug’s introduction, in 1996, Purdue Pharma aggressively promoted OxyContin, falsely claiming that it posed little or no risk of addiction and encouraging its prescription for chronic pain—after surgeries when opioid pain relief was not warranted, and in quantities that far exceeded patients’ needs. The company provided financial incentives for doctors to encourage these practices. PAIN activists argue that the fines paid by the company, such as the six-hundred-million-dollar penalty in the 2007 New York case and several million donated to efforts to combat the opioid epidemic, are insignificant compared to the tens of billions of dollars that Purdue has made off OxyContin.” – Gessen, M.

The USA

According to the CDC

AT LEAST ONE DOSE: 270,227,181, 81.4% of the population.

ALSO FROM CDC

About 60% of adults aged 18 and over reported taking at least one prescription medication in 2021, with 36% reporting taking three or more (1). Out-of- pocket costs on retail drugs rose 4.8% to $63 billion in 2021

I have a feeling, the above number has drastically risen since 2021.

The UK

FROM THE NIH:

Conclusions. Nearly 70% of the United Kingdom population has received prescriptions for one or more medication with increasing proportions receiving prescriptions for 5 or more. The high rates of medication use increase the complexity and cost of healthcare.

AUSTRALIA

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Share of patients who received prescriptions for medication in Australia in financial year 2023, by age group and gender

You may ask, why is Cindy showing us all this?

First of all, I understand that Pfizer isn’t the only culprit in the pHARMaceutical industry, but, arguably, it is probably the largest and worst.

I was watching an interview this morning with a couple who were in Australia and both 85-years old . They had been on the carnivore diet for seven-months and were talking about their journey.

Basically, a carnivore diet is a diet where one can only eat animal products. Please understand, I am not advocating for any diet, or eating program, and their diet is not the focus of this post. The gentleman had a triple-bypass six years ago AND before he changed his diet, he was taking 17 prescription medications and he was reading the side-effects of each one. Most of the drugs he was taking produced the condition that another medication was supposed to help: angina, for example.

He had been able to reduce his 17 meds down to two and both he and his missus produced excellent blood tests for their age. They were hella cute, btw.

The moral of this story is: big pHARMa hates health because healthy people don’t beg their doctors for their products which reduces their profits. Period.

I believe that there is a time/place/condition for some pHARMaceuticals, but, I also believe that they should be taken as a last resort and all natural CURES should be considered/tried before one gets on the pHARMaceutical train to Metabolic Decline, pop: billions.

Even if natural remedies don’t work as well as we would hope, embarking on a program of healthier diet (i,e, dumping ultra-processed food,) , exercise/movement, avoiding toxins as much as possible, and getting sunshine and fresh air, cannot hurt and may give your immune health more of a chance to heal.
