Marketing Disease and Pushing Drugs, 1/7

www.encognitive.com Doctors might not be crazy about the thought, but patients are walking into their offices asking for specific drugs. They have heard about them on TV or read about them in magazines. Askier travels blissfully down a mountain of ragweed, his skis in perfect position as pollen scatters across a parched mountain landscape. Quick–is this an advertisement for weed killer, a new type of skiing, or an allergy drug? Unless you’ve stayed away from magazines and TV this year, you probably know this is an ad for Allegra, an allergy drug manufactured by Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. The caption reads “This allergy season, live with ahhhbandon. Ahhh! Allegra!” The Allegra print campaign is one of a multitude of highly visible prescription’ drug advertisements aimed directly at the public. Ever since federal regulations changed laws governing the advertising of prescription drugs in the 1980s, such advertising efforts have taken off. Manufacturers spent $137 million on direct-to-consumer drug advertising on television alone in 1996, according to IMS America and Nielsen Media Research. Advertising is also extensive in most major consumer magazines. “They’re spending a ton of money” says Jack Trout, a marketing expert based in Greenwich, Connecticut, and author of The New Positioning: The Latest on the World’s Number 1 Business Strategy. “They’re keeping these magazines afloat.” findarticles.com

  2. Ben1607 says:

    yea… how fucked up is this… like the thought that rich people get together with a plot is something that should not be considered for a minute… you know the kind of sick shit corporations (like huge pharma) get caught doing ALL the time that is illegal?

    These patriotic, mad, willingly dellusional, childishly trusting jerkoffs are in for a huge wake up call.

    I see the world moving quicker and quicker.. technology, new medicine, higher paying jobs.. more more more… As you can see all around you, WE are becoming less HUMAN. We have lost our right identity.. that we as HUMAN beings can achieve anything but throughout our “evilution” have lost this secret knowledge. We do not need medication to heal.. we only need to prevent, eat well and live less stressfully through LIKE.. collective consciousness. be well – dan

    why do you reckon the governments propaganda agaisnt Scientology is so strong? Scientologys main purpose is to get rid of these drugs Scientology is the strongest Oponent of the Huge Pharma Companies and what does the Government do?

    Why provide health care when there is so much more money the government can make from pushing drugs and receiving tax money from the drug companies. I feel like I have worked for the mafia. What a crime!

    imagine what they could place in your drugs if they choose to,mind control agents anything.Americans are so bone idle they dont even care.They just want to sit there and stuff thier stout faces with junk food & pepsi and then take a pill to stay alive.

    In “Middlemarch” by George Eliot (written in the mid 1800s) one of the main characters is a doctor, he opposes the drug trend that was blossoming and says drugs “undermine the constitution” of the human body. I couldn’t agree more. Doctors and “scientists” in fact know small about the body, yet they reckon they can manipulate it with synthetic chemicals. Respect your body, don’t abuse it with drugs.

    Drugs instead of curative/preventative measures kept me undiagnosed and now in4th stage renal failure. Caused by a disease I accurately diagnosed myself with after 35 yrs I had to go fromSpokane to Seattle to finally have confirmation. Pharmeceuticals KILL. By the way deprssion is not most often an illness, it is part of the hiuman condition and people for hundreds of years worked through it. A pill ? No wonder our society has been ‘retarded’!!!
