Patronizers & practitioners of Pharmaceuticals not allowed to enter God’s Kingdom

The Holy Bible, Revelation 21:1-2

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

The Holy Bible, Revelation 21:8:

[niv]But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts [Greek: pharmakon, practitioners of pharmaceuticals, e.g, pharma chemists, medical manufacturers, med reps, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, patients], the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

[kjv]But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers [Greek: pharmakon; English: pharmacists, pharmaceutical chemists], and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Patronizers & practitioners of Pharmaceuticals not allowed to enter God’s

Kingdom Rev 22:14 [niv]"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the

tree of life and may go through the gates into the city [New Jerusalem].

[kjv]Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city [New Jerusalem].

Rev 22:15 [niv]Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts [Greek: pharmakons, those who practice and patronize pharmaceuticals] the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

[kjv]For without are dogs, and sorcerers [Greek: pharmakons, those who practice and patronize pharmaceuticals] , and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Rev 22:16 [niv]"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

[kjv]I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

80% of Medical Practice Has No Scientific Backing

The medical establishment has created a set of terms, which they use constantly to boost their egos and firm up their authority as the unique holders of medical wisdom -- the mantra is “evidence-based medicine”, as if everything outside their anointing touch is bogus and suspect.

But a careful examination of many of the accepted treatments reveals that most have little or no scientific “evidence-based” data to support it.

One often repeated study found that almost 80 PERCENT of medical practice had NO scientific backing!

Big Pharma is No. 17 if ranked with nations in income!

The pharmaceutical industry is worth more money than the gross domestic product (GDP) of these COUNTRIES”

Belgium ($448.5 billion)

Sweden ($444 billion)

Switzerland ($415.5 billion)

Norway ($382 billion)

Saudi Arabia ($381.7 billion)

What most people don’t realize is that the pharmaceutical industry’s power and influence over government, the field of conventional medicine, and your mind through massive marketing efforts, is in a class of its own. In fact, if placed on the list ranking the countries of the world according to gross domestic product, the pharmaceutical industry would rank number 17 out of 185 countries in 2007!

If you still believe that money doesn’t talk; where have you been?

WW II CRIMINALS OWN BIG PHARMA! What most people also don't realize today is that the majority

of today's drug companies are the same companies that were making mustard and nerve gas in WWI and especially WWI. IG Farben that made probably the majority of these deadly agents was split up into Bayer and other drug companies.

They have a HISTORY of dealing out death to millions of people and even the name "Pharmakeia" comes from the Greek meaning essentially "occult". The old "Witches brew and potions" became surgery and pills.

What they learned on the concentration camp victims about mind control and mass drugging such as the effects of Fluoride, Lithium and other drugs has been DIRECTLY applied to the US and by extension the rest of the world!

Page 23: Pharma drugs more deadly than illegal drugs

Once they knew that they could successfully control the camp victims them simply moved this program en masse to the US population and began drugging them, telling you that Fluoride was good for you, putting massive amounts of chemicals into foods, pushing toxic drugs and pills more and more as a "magic cure" for everything that ails you, all the while MAKING you sick by poisoning and destroying the very "FOOD" that other arms of these criminals, the so called "Food companies" like Nabisco, General Mills, "KRAFT" (As in witchKRAFT) and so on were feeding you.

It's the OLDEST medical trick in the book. Make the patient sick, then come along and magically give them the cure. Except in this case they're not curing you at all, just treating you to turn you into a lifelong customer, just like any good drug dealer attempts to do!

This was done in China over 2500 years ago, where a doctor was called in for a real illness, would heal the person, but in the cure there would be slow acting poison. They would get called back a few months later, then magically cure that one too with counter herbs, add a different poison and so forth. Word would spread FAR and WIDE about this "Great doctor" and he would have hundreds of patients and take it all to the bank!

Drug Company Had Hit List for Doctors Who Criticized Them The international drug company Merck had a hit list of doctors who had to be

"neutralized" or discredited because they had criticized the painkiller Vioxx, a now-withdrawn drug that the pharmaceutical giant produced.

Staff at the company emailed each other about the list of doctors. The email, which came out during a class-action suit against the drug company, included the words "neutralize," "neutralized" or "discredit" alongside some of the doctors' names.

The company is alleged to have used intimidation tactics against researchers, including dropping hints that the company would stop funding their institutions, and possibly even interfering with academic appointments.

"We may need to seek them out and destroy them where they live," a Merck employee wrote, according to an email excerpt read to the court.

BIG PHARMA SPY ON DOCTORS Drug Companies Routinely Collect Secret Reports on Doctors

Drug companies have been hiring outside firms to purchase data on doctors from pharmacies since the mid-1990s. The reports let drug sales representatives see a doctor’s prescribing habits, among other things, which lets them know:

1. If their sales pitches are working 2. How to change their sales pitch if they’re not

For example, if the report shows a doctor generally prescribes a drug’s competitor, they can prepare a sales pitch specifically to discredit the competing drug. Meanwhile, those doctors who do regularly prescribe their drugs would likely be singled out to receive some “incentives” to keep doing so. But it’s not only doctors who are being quietly influenced.

An Unacceptable Reality—a Healthcare System That Is a Leading Cause of Death

Medical errors are a large reason why the current, fatally flawed medical paradigm is in such desperate need of transformation. A majority of healthcare workers observe mistakes made by their peers yet rarely do anything to challenge them. A substantial portion of American doctors also suffer from burnout on the job, according to a 2012 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.12

Of the nearly 7,300 doctors surveyed, nearly half had at least one symptom of burnout; 38 percent had high emotional exhaustion scores; and 30 percent had high depersonalization scores (viewing patients more like objects than human beings) – twice the rate of the general population of working adults. Clearly, this is yet another piece of the puzzle as to why US medical care is so dangerous.

So what is the solution?

From my perspective there isn't any easy one, other than to simply minimize your interactions with the conventional system, as it has very little to offer anyway when it comes to prevention or treatment of chronic disease. More often than not, conventional strategies in no way shape or form address the underlying cause of your disease.

One of the reasons I am so passionate about sharing the information on this site about healthy eating, exercise, and stress management is because it can help keep you OUT of the hospital.

Most of the Leading Causes of Death are Preventable

Still, there is light at the end of the tunnel because you CAN take control of your health - you don't have to listen to and abide by this system that makes and keeps you sick in order to make multinational corporations wealthy.

The majority of deaths are due to chronic, not acute, disease. And most chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, are largely preventable with simple lifestyle changes. Even infectious diseases like the flu can often be warded off by a healthy way of life. Just imagine the lowered death toll, not to mention costs to the economy, if more people decided to take control of their health … heart disease and cancer alone accounted for 47 percent of deaths in the United States in 2010, and there are many strategies you can implement to lower your risk of these diseases.

The added bonus to this is that the healthier you are, the less you will need to rely on conventional medical care, which is a leading cause of death.

We Need a Whole New System of Medicine

When it comes to medical charges, you the buyer are completely separated from the seller or provider. There’s absolutely no market feedback to regulate and control the prices that are charged, whether they are related to medications or hospital/treatment charges. For the most part, drug makers and hospitals are allowed to charge as much as they want, which plays a large role on why these charges have gotten so outrageously out of control. This simply does not happen in countries outside of the US.

As a result, more than half, or approximately 60 percent, of all personal bankruptcies in the US are related to medical bills. Even more remarkably, the majority of those bankruptcies are among people WITH health insurance... Weil writes:

“The film [Escape Fire] takes its name from the practice of setting a small fire to clear out nearby brush, allowing a fast-advancing forest fire to pass by harmlessly. Will we be sufficiently clear-eyed and rational to take a similarly bold action to avoid disaster wrought by our dysfunctional health care system? I hope so. In the film, I say, 'The present system doesn't work, and it's going to take us down. We need a whole new kind of medicine.'"

This new system needs to address preventive strategies, and allow for less expensive, less invasive and more health-promoting alternatives as the first line of treatment. This automatically means reduced profits for the medical industry as a whole, but the pharmaceutical industry in particular would have to relinquish its grasp on its greatest cash cow, the American drug consumer.

When you consider how far Big Pharma has gone to manipulate the political system to its advantage, lobbying for laws to protect and bolster its profits even to the detriment of the country as a whole, this is not going to happen overnight. But you don’t have to wait for the system to change. You can take control of your own health in the meantime, and proactively work to protect not only your life but your pocketbook as well.

Who is the greater killer: USA or Communist Countries?

Meanwhile the US has accused other countries of Human Rights violations, for openly shooting down it's citizens for disagreeing with their Government.  Well we just give them a plate of food, and say with a smile, "it's good for you."  You know the hormones, the GE foods, the antibiotics, the pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and even human waste as fertilizer.  What human rights violation?

Americans Die Earlier and Live in Poorer Health

These are examples of Big Government making health decisions for you. How have they been working out so far? The proof is in the pudding, and the featured report7 tells us that what we’ve been doing so far is NOT working.

According to the report, Americans die earlier and live in poorer health than people in other developed nations, which included Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the U.K.

Of these 17 affluent countries, the US ranks last overall, and near the bottom in nine key areas of health, including low birth weight; injuries and homicides; teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections; HIV and AIDS; drug-related deaths; obesity and diabetes; heart disease; chronic lung disease; and general disability. At 75.6 years, American men have the lowest life expectancy among the countries reviewed, and American women ranked second-to-last at 80.7 years. The infant mortality rate in the US is equally abysmal, with 32.7 deaths per 100,000, while most others range between 15 and 25 deaths per 100,000.

How Can the Wealthiest Industrialized Nation be the Sickest?

Since the mid-1990s, the number of Americans suffering from at least three chronic illnesses nearly doubled. Life expectancy has decreased and infant mortality has increased. Illnesses once rare are now common, with some approaching epidemic levels. For example:

Autism now affects one in 88 children (CDC), compared to one in 25,000 in the mid-1970s

Type 2 diabetes rates in the U.S. increased by 176 percent between 1980 and 2010

Celiac disease is four times more common now than 60 years ago

Alzheimer's disease is rising at alarming rates. It's estimated that 5.4 million Americans (one in eight older Americans) now has Alzheimer's disease, and nearly half of those age 85 and older have it; AD rates have doubled since 1980

New infectious diseases are increasing in number, according to a 2008 study

In his documentary, Jeffrey Smith makes a convincing argument that one of the primary forces driving these illnesses is America's changing food supply. And one of the most profound changes is genetically engineered food. Proving GE food is causing Americans to be sick is a tall order…

Polypharmacy Raises Drug Side Effects Exponentially

According to the latest statistics from the Kaiser Health Foundation, the average American aged 19 to 64 now takes more than 11 prescription drugs! The word 'polypharmacy' means "many drugs," and essentially refers to these instances where an individual is taking multiple drugs -- often because more drugs are prescribed than are clinically indicated.

This situation used to be primarily a concern for the elderly, who generally take more medicines than younger folks -- in the United States, the average senior fills more than 31 prescriptions per year. But over the past several years, even children as young as 3 are increasingly being prescribed four or more drugs!

This is a significant problem, as the more drugs you mix together, the greater the chances of serious side effects. And if the average American is taking 11 prescription drugs, and the average prescription drug carries 70 side effects … do the math!

That's an average of 770 potential individual side effects but the drug to drug interaction is far higher and is likely one to two orders of magnitude greater. To me, this is simply unacceptable, especially considering that most drugs people take are for conditions that can be better treated, and prevented, using natural methods.

Prescription Drugs Even Deadlier Than Illegal Drugs

You might not realize that more than 700,000 people visit U.S. emergency rooms each year as a result of adverse drug reactions. And, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), adverse drug reactions from drugs that are properly prescribed and properly administered cause about 106,000 deaths per year, making prescription drugs the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States.

Compare this to the death toll from illegal drugs -- which is about 10,000 per year -- and you begin to see the magnitude of the problem that the pharmaceutical industry is propagating. Even more shocking, three years ago an analysis of federal data by the nonprofit Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) found that in the first quarter of 2008, fatalities from adverse drug reactions accounted for 23 percent of all adverse reaction reports!

Naturally, some drugs are far riskier than others. But often a drug doesn't earn a reputation for being "riskier" until the fatalities have already begun to stack up. Further, even the "average" medication causes potential side effects, which is a steep risk by any measure.

Just how many risks should be deemed acceptable by public health agencies and consumers?

According to study researcher Dr. Jon Duke, assistant professor of medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine, on MSNBC:

" … having all these labeled side effects can overwhelm doctors who must weigh the risks and benefits when prescribing a medication … The Food and Drug Administration has taken steps to discourage such 'overwarning,' but at present, information overload is the rule rather than the exception."

So the FDA has tried to discourage drug manufacturers from "overwarning" doctors and patients about the risks

An important issue that is rarely focused on when examining drug side effects is what happens to those who are taking more than one medication? The potential ramifications are mind-boggling, with side effects numbering in the thousands … too many to ever really pinpoint back to a particular pill.

Page 34: Pharma drugs more deadly than illegal drugs

Average Drug Label Lists Over Whopping 70 Side Effects

Using a computer program, scientists analyzed 5,600 drug labels and more than 500,000 labeled effects. They found that the average drug comes with a list of 70 potential reactions, according to researchers.

In fact, the more commonly prescribed drugs averaged around 100 side effects each, with some drugs containing as many as 525 listed reactions.

MSNBC reports: “The greatest number of side effects was found in

antidepressants, antiviral medications and newer treatments for restless leg syndrome and Parkinson's disease. In general, medications typically used by psychiatrists and neurologists had the most complex labels, while drugs used by dermatologists and ophthalmologists had the least.”

What Are America's Most Popular Drugs?

Last year 10 of the most popular medicines were generic – grim news for pharmaceutical companies that are always looking out for a blockbuster drug through patented brands that aren't eligible yet for generic compositions.

The top 10 include Vicodin, Zocor, Lisinopril, Synthroid, Norvasc, Prilosec, Zithromax, Glucophage, and hydrochlorothiazide, a high blood pressure medicine.

According to Forbes, there are only three branded medicines left on the top 25 list of best-sellers – Lipitor, Plavix, and Singulair.
