Video Clip: Big Bucks, Big Pharma Documentary
Visit http://secure.mef.tv/itemdesc.asp?ic=224-I-D for more information.
Newly released by the Media Education Foundation, "Big Bucks, Big Pharma" pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain. Focusing on the industry's marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors. Combined, these industry practices shape how both patients and doctors understand and relate to disease and treatment. Ultimately, Big Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important questions about the consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being.
Featuring interviews with Dr. Marcia Angell (Dept. of Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Former Editor New England Journal of Medicine), Dr. Bob Goodman (Columbia University Medical Center; Founder, No Free Lunch), Gene Carbona (Former Pharmaceutical Industry Insider and Current Executive Director of Sales, The Medical Letter), Katharine Greider (Journalist; Author, The Big Fix: How the Pharmaceutical Industry Rips Off American Consumers,), Dr. Elizabeth Preston (Dept. of Communication, Westfield State College), and Dr. Larry Sasich (Public Citizen Health Research Group).

Pharma Not in Business of Health, Healing, Cures, Wellness
Be My Friend - http://www.myspace.com/psychtruth
Ex-Pharma Sales Reps Speaks Out - Pharma Not in Business of Health, Healing, Cures, Wellness.
Gwen Olsen spent fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales rep working for such healthcare giants as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott Laboratories. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced career until several conscious-altering experiences began awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet. Her most poignant lessons, however, came as both victim and survivor of life-threatening adverse drug reactions. After leaving pharmaceutical sales in 2000, Gwen worked in the natural foods industry first as an Account Manager for Nature's Way, and then as a Regional Sales Manager for Gaia Herbs. She is currently a writer, speaker, and natural health consultant.
The United States health care system is killing Americans at an alarming rate, even though we spend over fifteen percent of the Gross National Product (GNP) on health care. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, our health care outcomes ranked only fifteenth among twenty-five industrialized nations worldwide. Adverse effects from prescription drugs have become the third-leading killer of Americans. Only heart disease and cancer claim more lives. We trust our doctors to inform us and our government to protect us from medical malfeasance that may put profits ahead of consumer health and safety. But the fine line walked by the FDA between the interests of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the American public has continually been crossed. The result is the unleashing of an unprecedented number of lethal drugs on the U.S. market!
Gwen Olsen learned firsthand the danger that lurks in every American's medicine cabinet, working in the pharmaceutical industry. But her most poignant education would come as a victim and, ultimately, as a survivor.

FDA Advisory & Big Pharma Conflicts of Interest, Psychology w/ Shannon
Not a conspiracy theory because it's just too easily documented. Members of the FDA Advisory Committees for psychiatry and risk management have major ties to the drug industry.

Big Bucks, Big Pharma Extra: Drug Costs and PR
Visit http://secure.mef.tv/itemdesc.asp?ic=224-I-D for more information.
A special extra to the film "Big Bucks, Big Pharma," this compilation shows how drug companies thwart attempts to rein in skyrocketing prescription drug costs through false claims that regulation will hinder the research and development of essential new drugs. These PR campaigns by the pharmaceutical industry aim to frighten the public, and divert us from realizing that high drug prices are more about feeding multi-billion dollar industry profits, and supporting massive advertising and lobbying efforts, than they are about securing the invention of effective new drugs.

Pharma Insider Part I
Off-label promotion under the radar
Physicians can prescribe drugs off-label (for non-FDA-approved uses), but it is illegal for pharmaceutical companies to promote drugs off-label. Douglas Melnick, MD MPH, a former pharma insider, tells Adriane Fugh-Berman, MD how companies get around the bans. Medical science liaisons are company doctors and pharmacists that can legally answer questions about off-label use, so drug reps may coax questions about off-label uses from doctors, and then refer those questions to MSLs. Company representatives also manipulate compendia, which are compilations of drug uses - including off-label uses - that are used by insurers to determine what drugs to pay for. Dr. Melnick, a preventive medicine physician, is a consultant to PharmedOut.org, a publicly funded project to educate physicians about inappropriate pharmaceutical promotion. Dr. Fugh-Berman is the principal investigator of PharmedOut.org. Transcript of this video is available at http://www.pharmedout.org.
PharmedOut is an independent project funded through the Attorney General Consumer and Prescriber Education grant program that educates physicians on how pharmaceutical companies influence prescribing.
