Live Patients Lie
A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association advises that up to 80% of patients have lied to their doctor about information that could impact their health, including accurately describing their food options and how often they exercise. When survey participants explained their reasoning for doing so, they said that they wanted…

Medical drugs: too big to fail
As my readers know, I’ve reported on a number of scandals concerning the toxicity of medical drugs and vaccines, including shocking death numbers in the US. These scandals are leaks from inside the National Security State. If you visit Wikileaks, Cryptome, Public Intelligence, and other similar sites, how many purely medical documents do you find…

Pharmacy in the Home (PIH) – Designing Your Future Direction
This is a project that has finally gained traction with community pharmacy leadership. As a reference exercise, i2P plans to condense its knowledge of PIH projects and deliver this content to readers, spread over a number of articles. The necessity of the project is self evident when you consider age demographics of the Australian population.…

The Capture of Health Freedom
“So you start off in charge, you’re an independent operator, you don’t work inside the system, but then you figure out the system thinks it includes you, some moron must have slipped in that clause while you weren’t looking, so you go talk to him, and it’s a pretty congenial meeting, although he does come…

OMNS – Vitamin D acceptance delayed by Big Pharma following the Disinformation Playbook
A “Disinformation Playbook” has been used for decades by corporations to delay government action on matters of public interest that would adversely affect their income and profit. Some well-known examples include the big tobacco companies, the coal and oil industries, the sugar industry, and the National Football League. The Union of Concerned Scientists has outlined…

Ageing Population Chronic Illness Requires Integrated Care – That Requires Pharmacist Independent Prescribers
Australian pharmacists and their leadership organizations have historically been seen as conservative and slow to adapt to changing health care needs. Much like other Western economies, Australia is grappling with an aging population burdened with a range of chronic illnesses, which translates to high health care costs. Pharmacists have recognized this issue for over 20…

Getting Involved!
How often are you asked for an opinion as to whether a particular test is worthwhile. Instances here might be vitamin D or more commonly, a coronary artery calcium score (CACS). The first cardiologist who used this, and openly discussed the benefits, was high-profile Dr. Ross Walker in Sydney. His colleagues really gave it to…

Why Medically Caused Deaths Continue to be Ignored
More than any other reporter, I have continued to champion and spread the word about Dr. Barbara Starfield’s revelation: The US medical system kills 106,000 people a year with its medicines. Extrapolate that number for a decade: more than a MILLION DEATHS. I have reported, many times, on Starfield’s review, “Is US Health Really the…

Pharmacy Anywhere – A System for Pharmacy Enhanced Primary Care
It is now well over 20 years ago that i2P proposed that community pharmacy develop a system we titled “Pharmacy-In-The-Home”. The reason for such a proposal was because of the predictions for an ageing population demographic, expanding and potentially reaching a figure of 28 percent of total population. We argued that an ageing population would…

THE CORPORATE DESTRUCTION OF HEALTH CARE: Part 1 – And Health Professionals are Letting It Happen!
I remember the time when physicians, pharmacists, other health professionals, and healthcare institutions such as hospitals had both the authority and responsibility for the decisions regarding the healthcare services, medications, and other products provided for patients, including costs. This “system” had significant shortcomings but it usually facilitated communication and positive relationships among patients and health…
