Pharma Not in Business of Health, Healing, Cures, Wellness
Be My Friend - www.myspace.com 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 loved a successful, quick-paced career until several conscious-altering experiences started awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet. Her most poignant lessons, but, 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 Yucky 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 place profits ahead of consumer health and safety. But the fine line walked by the FDA between the …

I completely agree with you and I reckon everyone can see this has been going on with Pharmaceutical companies in America and we just have kind of ignored it. You are awesome, and thanks for telling us the truth!
I have studied homeopathic meds for years and fortunately have a fantastic homeopathic MD to guide me. I have never bought into the pharmaBS and have been blessed with excellent health. I have seen the terrible side effects and withdrawal episode with my best friend though and they are dreadful. Thank you Gwen for sharing this.
@RandyBful1 Very inspiring Randy. I too have taken myself off the cocktail of drugs I was prescribed for my depression and kidney disease and currently working on changing my lifestyle. Diet and exercise are the foundations of health, not pharmaceuticals!
This woman is absolutely right! Huge Pharma, as well as all other corporations, care only about the almighty dollar. Look at Monsanto, poisoning all of our food and look at companies like McDonald’s and Booger King, who push these poisons. Sadly, corporations control the government and its’ agencies by paying them off. The FDA and Health Canada are basically no more than extensions of Monsanto, Dupont, Dow, Syngenta and Cargile! Pharmaceuticals, including vaccines are POISON!
I was on a number of drugs for years (for chronic pain); SSRI’s, opiates, narcotics, CNS depressants, CNS stimulants, etc.. I had severe abdominal pain for the past 3 years, eyesight loss, severe headaches, high blood pressure, borderline diabetes and many other symptoms. I started withdrawing from the drugs in Aug. and it took me over a month to go through the withdrawal; nearly dying in the process. I’ve omitted ALL processed food and quick food and exercise a lot. I’ve reversed most of my ills
Please beware of the potential effects on the nervous system of a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones, (includes such common anti-infection drugs as Cipro). Many websites have now appeared in which other victoms, like me, tell their tragic consequences.
Your logic is flawed. The Orwellian Huge Brother was indeed from a satire on the soviet union, yet your attempts to attribute American “liberalism” to Huge Brother simply does not stand up under scrutiny. Such broad and simplistic statements only help to massage fragile egos and coddle minds with tenuous grasps of socio-economic trends.
Do you want to really LEARN how Gov’t intervention can assuage the US health system, or is it simpler to hurl polemical epithets at thoughts you do not know?
Deep respect to give up your carrier and speak about this so openly. To me it is just a matter of knowledge, self education and comparison. Knowledge leads to wisdom, wisdom to freedom. We’re obviously programmed to believe that these companies deliver us stuff that really enhances the quality of our lives. Since I learned how Cannabis can cure cancer, in contrast with the programmed opinion of many people about this plant, I really start to doubt huge pharmacy.
Enhance your consciousness.
I have not taken anything other then pain killers after injury or anti-biotics for infection control. Will never see a doctor for any type of metabolic problem. I wish I could be given control of all the nursing homes. I would have 90% of patients in a normal state within a year.
Thank you for sharing the myth with us, Gwen! There are so many alternative options for people to get back on the right track with their health. I like that you encourage us to take our power back and make wise choices when it comes to our health!
You gotta do it very gradually, lowering the dose only in tiny increments, it takes a long while. I’ve heard Dr. Ann Blake Trac(e)y mention this, so maybe google her up (or the topic itself)..
I guess they make the withdraw of meds to be very painful and sickening on purpose just so you get back on them - like how heroin works.
I am on anti-depressants, and when I accidentally miss a dose - I get REALLY sick within 1 day of the missed dose - and this painful sickness can last for many days, but to stop the suffering - I get back on the medicine…. I now spend a lot of energy in trying hard to remember to take the meds because if I don’t - I get sick…. f u huge-pharma.
I’m a nurse and for years it has seen to me that the health industry wasn’t interested in making their patients well…. if they did, they wouldn’t have the mansions to go home to.
Myself as a patient, I felt things were really lacking. When it becomes very blatant that my doctor is just making money… in and out of the exam room if less than 5 min and checking his watch while “giving me care” I fire and find a new one. I want a doc that is working for me, and not making mansion payments.
redbrest! When you say that you make their work! What kind of play is to be frightened after having been tricked.
We must stop this loopy way of thinking…When shall become intelligent again?
