Big Pharma Nonsense


Yet another outstanding contribution from that stalwart defender of NHS diabetes treatment: Nobhead:

“I don't buy into this ''Big Pharma'' nonsense that is often talked about on diabetes forums”

Some of the nonsense, 1991 – 2010, is described here:


In the US, 1991 – 2010, 165 settlements comprising $19.8 billion in penalties.

In the US, 2006 – 2010, 121 settlements comprising $14.8 billion penalties.

In the US, 1991 – 2010, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Schering-Plough, accounted for more than half, $10.5 billion of all the financial penalties.

Did this deter Big Pharma? Awareness of the kind of mind that regards such scandals as nonsense helps to explain Nobhead’s dogged devotion to the NHS diabetes treatment.

Nobhead as thick as a plank and defends the NHS as it sinks without trace. The stats prove diabetes treatment is showing no improvement.

When you consider how many more people, have joined the club over the last few years, the number going blind and suffering amputations will go through the roof.

How many diabetics will be killed by junk high carb diet and junk meds ?

Jopar is another who is a fan of Big Pharma and thinks their drugs are stringently tested.

"And can some actually explain why on one hand they are so determined to reduce their prescribed medication, as they deem this as being harmful... But they are happy to munch on various different pills, capsules and potions, that aren’t manufactured or clinically tested with the same stringency as pharmaceutical products???"
