It is hard to believe it, but there are people planning new drugs to cost $1,000 per month, or more. Here is an alleged secretly recorded conversation in a planning room for one of the large drug companies:
Doctor John Researcher, welcome to what we call the "inner circle" in Lilly. We have tested your loyalty to the Company and know that we can now give you the supreme level of secret information. Less than 100 people know the information you are about to learn.
Our Company has to design a new drug that can be administered by INFUSION in the doctor's office. Drugs delivered by "infusion" are covered by Medicare and we can make BILLIONS. If the drug is administered by injection, it is not covered. If it is in the form of a tablet or capsule -- forget it.
It makes no difference what this new drug will sell for -- the more the better. We have to be able to claim it is "better" and everyone will write letters to their congressmen to get the government to approve it for coverage.
The biggest market potential we have is in the area of mental health. Since mental diseases are fabrications in any event, you do not even have to worry about what disease you want the new drug to treat. The new disease will be created to match the characteristics of the new drug you will create.
The best drug to invent will be one that manages, of course, not cures some condition.
We have the perfect political position. We give many millions of dollars to elect Republicans -- so they help us. The Democrats want votes from people who want free "medicines" and the people always want the newest and most expensive drug -- particularly when it is free.
The fact that none of these drugs actually SOLVE a health problem, but only manage it means that we have an assured business for centuries ahead.
We see drugs like this with a direct manufacturing cost of as little as $10 per dose, but we have accounting procedures which load that "cost" with the research costs, the administrative costs and even the secret executive pension plans. At the end of these careful accounting techniques, it looks like it costs $1,200 for one dose -- so the retail price, at $2,000 per dose, once per month, with doctor's fees added, will make us all filthy rich!
If we really do well, the adverse side effects will not show up for at least three years, the lawyers we work with, and "leak" the damaging documents to will make $10 billion in law suits, we'll go bankrupt, the hidden pensions will pay us off, and we already have a "new" company waiting to hire us.
It's a good deal all around!
You think the above is some sort of exaggeration?
Well, consider the next "story" which, I tell you, is true -- indeed.
This drug company, let's call it "Johnson & Johnson" decides that it will get a new drug patented and approved by the FDA for pain relief. They know that this drug is addictive and causes seizures, but they hide those results and get the patent and the FDA approval.
Remember that I ALLEGE this to be true -- I cannot prove it!
Then they carefully market this new approved drug through channels so that you would never know that Johnson & Johnson has anything to do with it. The web site doesn't mention Johnson & Johnson unless you go to the end of a long file, in the tiny print.
In due course, just as they knew would happen, the FDA issues a warning letter -- saying this drug is addictive and tells doctors that it can only be prescribed in those cases where the patient has no chance of becoming addicted.
Sales in the US plummet.
No problem! In the mean time, through other channels, using different business names, they start selling Ultram in very large quantities into certain foreign countries -- the buyers have agreed that they will NOT sell it in the country that imports the stuff, since that would cause the equivalent of the FDA there to outlaw it.
If you go to the official Johnson & Johnson web site HERE, you will look in vain for Ultram! It is there, somewhere, but certainly not easy to find.
If you do find it on the official web site, you will probably find a disclaimer:
ULTRAM® - Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc.
In order for you to get the most complete and current information on the brand you have selected, we invite you to visit the brand Web sites listed below. By clicking on a link you will leave the Johnson & Johnson Corporate site, jnj.com, and be directed to one of our operating company Web sites with all the information you need on the product you chose.

The addictive Ultram slides silently into Germany, for instance, to a few large companies that sell ONLY on the internet. They specialize in selling drugs like this without any prescription required, to consumers in the United States who know about this "legal" method of buying prescription drugs, without a prescription, as long as they are purchased for personal use.
Johnson & Johnson is selling, legally, to a recognized firm in Germany, and that firm is selling, legally, to private US consumers. These private US consumers receive their packages in guaranteed "un marked" packages.
They have even found a way to ship into a US address (the shipping documents show the German origin). From this US address, probably in Texas, a "re-distribution company simply takes the small packages out of the big package, puts US postage on them, and sends them on to the US person. He has his drugs "from a foreign source" and the Texas company is NOT selling them to the US Person.
Yet another company, with a US address, and a credit-card processing service, receives the orders for this "foreign-source drug," and processes the credit card. This other US company, probably in New Jersey, does NOT sell any drugs to anyone.
They simply have a contract to process credit card orders FOR the company in Germany. Depending on the tax situation, the money is sent somewhere that escapes taxes from any country, and the German company SELLS the drugs to the US Consumer, even putting them in a package individually addressed to that US consumer, and then ships them off in the large package ("to save shipping costs") to the Texas firm that "re-distributes" them.
I've presented the practical way this works. There are differences of opinion on the legality of parts of this, but the bottom line is that it is up to the FDA to do something to stop it, and they are not about to:
"Everything coming into this country (via mail) is in violation," said a senior FDA official, asking to remain anonymous, about the importation of medications from abroad.
But in the meanwhile, the FDA has no intention of busting the seniors using the service, the official told United Press International.

Nevertheless, mail-order for prescription [imported] drugs has increased sixfold, from about $4.5 billion in 1992 to about $27.5 billion in 2001. (source)

The US consumer may have already collected some money from a group of "other" US people, each of whom is waiting for "HIS" delivery of this addictive and deadly drug. He paid in currency, and there is no receipt. This addictive, deadly drug is "dropped off" at the proper address for this "other" US person -- who has obtained his addictive and deadly drug, paying in currency to someone who has no business address -- you could call him a "street drug pusher" if you wanted to be honest about this.
In the mean time Johnson & Johnson has found a crooked way to hide the sale of Ultram to the Germany buyer so that this whole soup never sees the light of day!
I allege that not only Johnson & Johnson does this, but so do virtually all the other drug companies. They deliberately create an addictive drug to sell to US drug addicts through this legal loop hole. The addictive drug is called "OK" because it is not a street drug, but is an "artificial" opiate!
It happens. Is Johnson & Johnson guilty of illegal drug pushing? Of course not! Are thousands of people in the US getting this harmful and addictive drug anyway? You bet they are!

I, Karl Loren have mounted a campaign to expose the drug companies that produce harmful drugs at obscene profits.
"I accuse drug companies of
preferring profits over prevention; success over saving lives; money over
morality; cunning over cure!" (Source)
