As the battle continues: USA vs. FDA Jason Murph Baker College With interest of the big investors Americans are kept in the background of the primary focus from the FDA. This is the claim made Gary Null in the documentary “The War on Health”. The history of Null’s credibility comes from his profession in Dietetics-Nutrition. He is also a talk show host for Progressive Radio Network (PRN.fm). Null owns Gary Null & Associates, a company that markets dietary supplements as well as a health food store in New York City In 2010, Null claimed that he was sickened and nearly killed by his own dietary supplements.
However, is it also no secret that corporate America and the appeal of wealth is the driving force to many decisions. When Monsanto, a multi-trillion dollar conglomerate that specializes in biotechnology through the production and wholesale of seeds and chemicals, bought Searle and the rights to aspartame for $2.7 billion in 1985, Rumsfeld reportedly received a $12 million bonus as CEO of G.D. Searle and Company. Researchers have been quoted speaking out against the verdict. While the "research" performed by the aspartame industry after approval is abysmal, the preapproval "research" was much worse. Despite this fact, FDA officials essentially "sold out" to the manufacturer and approved the junk.
Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s. In 2012 the numbers of cases was 2,000. The fears are now concerned on the MMR vaccination, as now there is also a big group of children who did not received their vaccination. NHS urge parents to ensure their children receive the vaccination. This shows that many parents are sceptical to the vaccinations, what might have negative consequences for children.
In 2000 there was a vaccine shortage because quality control issues caused a 6-8 week delay in vaccine delivery. That year supplies were distributed unevenly and prices doubled as a cause of the perceived increase in demand. In 2001 only about two thirds of the produced doses were available at the beginning of the flu season. Then again in 2003 the amount of vaccine supplied did not meet the demand for vaccinations because 4 million doses were destroyed and 87 million were inappropriate for that season’s flu strain. Not taking any action in this case has proven to be a bad decision as was quickly learned in 2004.
Every day more people die in America than are born. Any increases in population since 1972 have been due to immigration.2 The sociological perils we face are not those of population explosion, but population reduction. The Population Research Institute agrees, and concluded, “Our long-term problem is not too many children, but too few children.”3 The legalization of abortion resulted in a drastic reduction of the number of children in this country. By 1980 there were 6.5 million fewer school-age children in America than just a decade earlier. This required the closing of nine-thousand elementary schools.4 Legalized abortion has resulted in over 46 million fewer taxpayers in America to support the elderly.
Lynne Quarry HM210 week 9 video response 03/04/2015 Sicko This video starts out showing and talking about people who don't have insurance. How they stich themselves up or deciding which finger they wan't sewn back on. Then it says" but this isn't about those people, it's about people with health insurance." Which in my opinion there was nothing said in it that would make it a comedy. Talking about the 18,000 people who die a year because they don't have health insurance and the ones that do go broke, loose their houses and even go bankrupt because of health insurance co-pays.
The lack of school material, clothes, or even living in terrible conditions can lead to the not reaching their full potential due to the lack of motivation. The government in 2012 released 3.5 billion dollars to The Native American Reservations, which for 350,000 people is equivalent to 1000 dollars (Volz, “$3.4B Indian Lawsuit Ends, Disbursements to Begin”). However, how far might this money go in a struggling household? The insufficient environment that Native Americans live in is nothing like we might find in any cities in the Northwest. The lack of motivation caused by years of not having a job and watching your family suffer in poverty is a condition that not too many of us are familiar with.
Wal-Mart has brought more jobs to China than the U.S. with more than 5,000 lawsuits towards illegally dumping hazardous waste and low wages. It is clear that Wal-Mart is not healthy for America. Wal-Mart does not want you to know certain information. For instance, in 2004, Wal-Mart refused to hire a person in a wheelchair
Sexual Liberation in the 1970's Name HIS145 Date Instructor Sexual Liberation in the 1970's It could be said that the introduction of the birth control pill to the public in 1960 started the sexual revolution. Over the past 50 years, “the pill” has gone through many changes. The first pill was effective but dangerous. It was later found that the dose was 10 times too high and caused life threatening blood clots. In 1965 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Comstock laws that banned female contraceptives.
Roosevelt started the welfare program he also gave a stern warning that in history society had become dependent on welfare and as a result, it decayed the societies of moral fiber. He went even further to say that it was a violation of American tradition.14 More and more people are becoming dependent on welfare every year. To classify as dependent, more than half of your monthly income must be welfare.15 Did you know that in the state of California you can get $450 a week for unemployment if your yearly income for your last job was over $11,674?16 For a single mother with two children under the age of five in California for one month you could get $131.58 from WIC, $526 from food stamps, free medical, and $704 from TANF.17-19 That is at least $3161.58 a month for raising your children, and who says being a stay at home mother isn’t a full time job? That is why it is so easy to get dependent on welfare. Who would want to work and have less money than if they stayed at
