Thursday, 19 June 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Ninth Amendment sincerely apologizes to readers for any legitimacy WebMD may have been afforded by its Google "Gadget" WebMD presence on this site as it has come to the attention of the editorial board that WebMD has long been the subject of verified allegations that it operates with a complete lack of disclosure and no transparency whatsoever in the fact that it is nothing more than a "For Sale" totally pro-drug company biased operation which has taken in huge amounts of cash for drug companies whose medications it then has directed completely unknowing consumers toward to the extent that WebMD has been the subject of a Congressional investigation.
When drug company advertising somewhat dried up WebMd took large amounts of U.S. readers' taxpayer money from the U.S. Government in order to give the appearance of unbiased support of Obamacare. It seems our most "transparent" President (a pretty tall order which he has no one to blame but himself for totally dishonestly claiming that title) cannot help but likewise enlist or rather pay off the least transparent but mistakenly once most highly regarded and visited web site which Americans where scammed into turning to for what seemed "to good to be true", and was, free medical advice. About as helpful as turning for advice to all those horrific prescription medicine ads the FDA true to its morally bankrupt history has allowed to deluge the public airways.
Speaking of which it turns out that WebMD also has received many millions of dollars from the FDA itself discredited for dissuading the people of this country from using time-tested natural remedies and promoting drugs which often turn out to have horrific "side effects" which somehow never came to light. Readers may learn why if they ever ask their pharmacist for the true drug information sheet which must come with all cases of prescription medicine in the form basically of tissue paper that folds out to something the size of a billboard in tiny print. If readers examine the numbers of persons actually able to survive it through the studies on which the FDA (iall costs paid by the pharmaceutical companies) approves medications readers will find that often barely a handful make it to the end of a study before the FDA approves a drug that then may be used by millions of persons.
A final note on the absolute hypocrisy of the FDA. In the 1980's the Administrator of the FDA found that the drug MDMA in a final determination did not meet the requirements of no known medical or research value such that it therefore could not be placed in Schedule I. Yet at the same time the latest chemical sweetener to be developed by Searle known as aspartame was found by the FDA to cause too high a risk of brain cancer and was to be banned. Well would readers not know that shortly after that Ronald ("McDonald") Reagan became the first brain-dead President elected since Warren Harding.
He within days reversed the FDA Administrator's determination on MDMA ("ecstasy") and ordered it placed in Schedule I on an emergency basis (no public comment) while meanwhile to the delight of one of his new cabinet members who happened to have just resigned his position as President of Searle within days of joining the new Administration Ronald (McDonald) Reagan agreed to have the FDA rush new tests on aspartame and lo and behold within weeks it was no longer banned but declared perfectly safe such that it was on readers' supermarket shelves and being dumped into all kinds of foods and beverages within the month in time to the likely severe detriment of millions of Americans' well-being. As it turned out Ronald (McDonald) Reagan had been consuming large quantities of homemade aspartame since he was a child and he after all turned out practically to be perfectly fine with no sign of no brain cancer at all.
One last tidbit about what a load of garbage the FDA and all its pharmaceutical and law enforcement chums have hoisted on Americans forever is that one just need take a look at the story of one horribly vilified "date rape" drug known as GHB the only problems for starters being that it is naturally occurring in the human body which one would think might make prosecuting possession a bit of a problem at least in some legal systems. The second being that it has been very widely and safely used for years in Europe and throughout the world as an anesthetic, a sleep aid that some have said is the best sleep aid they have ever had leaving them clear-headed, well-rested, and often even needing less sleep before being able to do more mental and physical activity and even exercise that seem indisputedly to more quickly result in healthy muscle development.
In any case the DEA of course needed its latest hysteria to keep it in business as always, and with the help of a few well-publicized anecdotes, well what did Americans know but the naturally-occurring human growth hormone that had been sold for years in places like GNC and was well known to weightlifters and athletes has become the thing of living nightmares and of course headed for "emergency" scheduling as Schedule I, no known blah blah blah. Only problem was that it turned out to be the only effective substance for certain sleep disorders including serious narcolepsy, so what did the federal acronym gang come up with, well they simply allowed a single company to sell it in pharmacies under a trade name (the name escapes us but interested readers should be able to find it, possibly under the "R"s in about one minute) as schedule III, while it was simultaneously schedule I at the same time and voila disaster was diverted. It is not known if they had the NSA lawyers or the White House lawyers review and okay that one making the legally impossible fully possible with the stroke of a pen.
The Ninth Amendment will save the story told on of all places "60 Minutes" about the drugs in regular use such as aspirin and even phenobarbital from well before the FDA even existed and which therefore had no authority to approve or disapprove those or many other drugs commonly used -- as we understood it from the television program, and though may have gotten it all wrong and be totally confused we think not. (THIS IS NOT NOR DOES IT PURPORT TO BE LEGAL NOR MEDICAL ADVICE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. READERS MUST EXCLSUIVELY CONSULT A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL FOR LEGAL ADVICE AND A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL FOR MEDICAL ADVICE.) In any case in casual inquiries with pharmacists it has been our experience that as "60 Minutes" predicted many druggists are confused between what is known as the NDC number (?) and the actual FDA approval.
Regardless as many of our readers know pharmacists are always right unless they are speaking directly to a doctor or as for the pathetic customer prescription unless they open the bag right there and dump their prescription out on the counter and actually count it out in front of someone behind the counter and carefully compare the visual appearance to the verbal description on the label.
Because OTHERWISE ONE IS OUT OF LUCK even if one gets home with just one big square green pill for pets with the letter "A" on it but were supposed to get two hundred and twenty-five small white people ones with the number "178" on side and for example "Screw You" on the back. (The number by the way is we understand how many dollars profit the pharmaceutical company makes per pill from the patient, the insurance company, or Medicare or Medicaid -- in the last case it is doubled.)
Whatever that green pill is readers better make it last the month or whatever because the PHARMACIST DOES NOT EVER MAKE A MISTAKE WITH THE PATIENT and ONE'S DOCTOR IS NOT INTERESTED IN ONE'S ABILITIES AT CREATIVE STORYTELLING BECAUSE SHE HAS ONE GOOD ONE FOR THE PATIENT CALLED "DRUG DIVERSION" AND ALREADY HAS THE FDA, DEA AND STATE MEDICAL BOARD all breathing down her neck poring over her medical records for weeks on end of full work days (four-and-a-half hours minus lunch) just because of SUCH UNGRATEFUL PATIENTS -- and incidentally illegally practicing medicine but we will not get into that here.
In any case WebMD get off our page and good riddance you sell-out pharmaceutical pigs and good riddance again. As for Google well Google no longer has any excuse whatsoever. And MIT had such high hopes for Goog;le. Well it sure is no Noam Chomsky that has become clear. Just shows anyone can go to the dogs. . . . May Google one day have a Chromebook in the hands of some wacko talking to the parking meters so Google can track their every move and thought for the next ten years. Market that then sell the information to partner CIA -- sounds like a fine opportunity for the first candidate for MK-ULTRA-II. . . .
