The Pharmaceutical Drug Racket The Masters of Government If to you it seems inconceivable that gov- emments have allowed a ruthless industry to dictate health matters, consider what Woodrow Wilson stated during his first presidential campaign in 1912: "The masters of the government of the United States are the combined cap- italists and manufacturers of the United States. It is written over every intimate page of the record of Congress, it is writ- ten all through the history of confer- ences at the White House, that the sug- gestions of economic policy in this country have come from one source, not from many sources. The benevolent puee. the kind-hearted trustees who ave taken the troubles of government off our hands have become so conspicu- ous that almost anybody can write out a list of them... The big bankers, the big manufacturers, the big masters of com- merce, the heads of railroad corpora- tions... The government of the United States at present is a foster child of the special interests.” Writes Ruesch: "Woodrow Wilson's words have remained as true today as they were when he pronounced them from his methods of healing the sick by means of safe, simple and natural remedies are sure to be assailed and denounced by the arrogant leaders of the AMA doctors' trust as ifakes, frauds and humbugs.' Every practitioner of the healing art who does not ally himself with the medical trust is denounced as a “dangerous quack" and impostor by the predatory trust doctors. Every san- itarian who attempts to restore the sick to a state of health by natural means without resort to the knife or poisonous drugs, disease imparting serums, deadly toxins or vaccines, is at once pounced upon by these med- ical tyrants and fanatics, bitterly denounced, vilified and persecuted to the fullest extent.'”” It comes as no surprise that the Australian counterpart, the Australian Medical Association, in conjunction with the Royal College of General Practitioners, as reported in The Australian (July 21, 1992) are pash- ing for legislation that would cause medical doctors using natural therapies to lose Medicare status. This would mean that their patients would not be able to have bills rebated by Medicare.” American 'Murder' Association The AMA, once openly declared by Dr Richard Kunnes at an AMA convention that it shouldn't be the acronym for American Medical Association but for American ‘Murder' Association, is, according to Morris Bealle, the front for the Drug Trust.” When the FDA has to put an independent operator out of business, they get the AMA to furnish quack doctors to testify that while often knowing nothing about the product involved, it is their considered opinion that it has no therapeutic value. Bealle cited an example in which the AMA furnished ten medicos to testify in court that "vitamins are not necessary to the human body", in order to close down an independent distributor of natural vitamins.’* J.W. Hodge, MD, of Niagara Falls, New York, writes about the AMA: "The medical monopoly or medical trust, euphemistically called the American Medical Association, is not merely the meanest monopoly ever organized, but the most arrogant, dan- gerous and despotic organization which ever managed a free people in this or any other age.
