April 02, 2007Sleazery, Thy Name Is Big PharmaCBS' 60 Minutes had a piece on about just how much influence lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry have in Congress. It's tons and, as with the Medicare reform a few years ago, has the taxpayers underwriting Big Pharma's bottom line. Here's a script of the piece. As a journalist, I am a bit confused why the show spent time on this. They had no new news in it--the whole Medicare thing has been picked over for a couple of years--and there was no big bust, so why spend your resources on it. It's far from the knockout Big Pharma deserves. But what do I know about the mysteries of network television news programs? Hey, CBS: you heard of this Zyprexa thing?

I wish to alert you to an article containing pertinent and important information about hepatitis C research in Egypt (and its broader implications). The article basically tells of the influence of special interests in suppressing promising complementary approaches to hepatitis C therapies. This article, entitled “NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (NYSDOH) STOPS A WORLD FIRST U.S. - EGYPTIAN COLLABORATIVE STUDY ON HEPATITIS C AND BLOOD OZONATION” may be accessed by googling “NYSDOH and ozone” “NYSDOH and Egypt” and “NYSDOH and hepatitis.” It may also be found on: www.triroc.com/sunnen/topics/nysdoh.v.ozone.htm This article is intended to attract interest for this vital research to move forward. Sincerely yours, Gerard Sunnen, M.D.
