Big Bad Pharma by Doiden

Treating depression (and in fact any other illnesses) starts from medication prescriptions. Doctors give you at least two to four different medication on the very first meeting with them. Then they give you the option of going to therapy, which means you HAVE to take the meds in order to receive the chance to get to the line – and then you wait at least three to six months. By the time you get to the therapy, medication has made you so numb, unaware of your bad feelings and addicted to the medication, you don’t necessarily feel the need to talk. You just ask for more pills. Or they give you more without even asking when the tolerance is high enough for you to actually feel something again. If you are depressed enough (what might that even be, I don’t know) you can set your mind at ease in the hospital, where they pump the drugs straight to your veins. And of course, the right dosage or the right medication is when you live your head in the clouds not giving shit about anything.

In the beginning, the meds seem to be working, you feel absolutely fine and happy, but this is the biggest illusion and lie ever. Your brain is overloading with serotonin, and you feel like there’s no care in the world. Then your body gets used to it and you need a higher dosage or a different medication all together. Usually they just give you more and say “Hey kiddo, this did work for you right, let’s just put a bit more, this is normal in the beginning”. They leave out the fact that it’s not just the beginning, it’s coming back again because your body gets used to the unnatural levels of serotonin and stops producing it – so you end up even more depressed if you stop taking the meds or don’t have enough. Or then the side effects kick in and you can’t live with them – nausea, problems with sense of feeling, loss of hair, loss of consciousness, memory problems, insomnia, vomiting, nightmares, weight gain, fainting, heart problems, loss in bloods white cells, cramps, digestion problems, abnormal muscle cramps, epilepsy, coma, blood clog, hepatitis, shock, sudden death, depression, suicidal thoughts etc etc . . . What the doctors don’t tell you is that the side effects might kill you or stay with you for the rest of your life, even though you stop taking the pill. Worst of all side effects is that all psych meds change your personality; they take away who you really are and what you want to do with your life and leaves you with emptiness. 

Doctors do everything they can to make you take the medication. They deny you from your benefits you might get when you are not able to work just because you are “not combining to the treatment” if you don’t want to screw your body over with meds on top of feeling shit. Or even send you to a hospital where you have to take the pill in order to get out. They pressure you so much you settle for trying the medication – leaving out that the “trial” lasts for a lifetime. So, here how it goes: You go to the doctors because you’ve been feeling down and sad for weeks. Dr. takes one quick look at you, asks if you feel depressed (if you are lucky enough to get this question) and you say “well, kinda yea.“Dr. writes you a prescription looks at the time “Oh, seven minutes up” opens the door for you and asks you to come back in two weeks. You go back in two weeks and the doctor looks at you again “You feeling better there missy?” and you say yes because your body is pumped up with medication. “Alrighty then, this seems to work, let’s keep up with this so you don’t start to feel sad anymore” and gives you the same piece of paper that tells you how many pink pills you need to take each day.

Drugs never correct imbalances.  They never improve the brain.  They "work" by impairing the brain and dampening feelings in various ways.

Withdrawal symptoms come along when you try to cut down and stop the medication. It’s like going to a drug rehab, wait… It’s not “like going” that’s actually what it is! Physical symptoms might be around for months and mental symptoms for years.  All psychoactive substances have rebound and withdrawal-related problems. "Relapse" rates, in general, during withdrawal from psychiatric drugs, are about 10 times higher than would be expected if the drug had never been taken.

Why do doctors do this if – no sorry, WHEN – they know about the side effects, how easily your body gets adjusted to the drug, how it really is not good for you and how the drug is not the answer or the cure? Money. Greed. Not because they don’t have the resources, not because they don’t have enough staff, not because they would care but because they get paid every time by the BigPharma when they get you hooked on some pill. They want the pool, the big house and five cars on top of the Hollywood hill.

A tale of deception.
Psychotropic drugs. Its the story of big money—drugs that fuel a $33 billion psychiatric industry. Without a single cure. The cost in human terms is even greater—these drugs now kill an estimated 42,000 people every year. And the death count keeps rising.

Let's talk about McDonald's for a second. 

First are McDonald's Values in action 

and then What really happens..

The Road to Sustainability

McDonald’s never stops working toward improving our environmental performance...and reaping “double green” benefits around the world.

McDonald’s supports the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. Much of the soy-based animal feed used to fatten fast-food chickens is grown in the Amazon. Grain is fed to cattle in South American countries to produce the meat in McDonald's hamburgers. Cattle consume 10 times the amount of grain and soy that humans do: one calorie of beef demands ten calories of grain. Of the 145 million tons of grain and so fed to livestock, only 21 million tons of meat and by-products are used. The waste is 124 million tons per year at a value of 20 billion US dollars. It has been calculated that this sum would feed, clothe and house the world's entire population fo one year. Every year an area of rainforest the size of Britain is cut down or defoliated, and burnt. Globally, one billion people depend on water flowing from these forests, which soak up rain and release it gradually. The disaster in Ethiopia and Sudan is at least partly due to uncontrolled deforestation. In Amazonia - where there are now about 100,000 beef ranches - torrential rains sweep down through the treeless valleys, eroding the land and washing away the soil. The bare earth, baked by the tropical sun, becoms useless for agriculture. McDonald's is one of the many US corporations using lethal poisons to destroy vast areas of Central American rainforest to create grazing pastures for cattle to be sent back to the States as burgers and pet food, and to provide fat-food packaging materials.

Greener Than Ever

McDonald’s strives to provide eco-friendly workplaces and restaurants that reflect our sustainability goals and demonstrate environmental stewardship in the workplace.

In 2007, the employees of an Orlando-area McDonald’s were caught on camera pouring milk into the milkshake machine out of a bucket labeled “Soiled Towels Only.”

Recycle, Renew

We start with a three-pronged approach: reduce, reuse, and recycle; and we’re committed to diverting as much waste as possible from the solid waste stream.

McDonald's recycled paper: only a tiny per cent of it is. The truth is it takes 800 square miles of forest just to keep them supplied with paper for one year. Tons of this end up litteing the cities of 'developed' countries. And you can even take a look at their recycling bins at the restaurants - yes, there are separate sections for plastic, paper etc, but they all go into the same garbage bag... And next to the fries, there is a bin that says: "It's okay to waste fries!"

Animal Welfare

We consider our priorities for food safety, quality and costs - together with our ethical, environmental and economic responsibilities - when we make purchasing decisions and evaluate supplier performance. This includes animal welfare. 

How many cows does it take to keep the world loaded with Big Macs? According to a brief video inside one of McDonald’s 6 meat processing plants, about 500,000 pounds of beef is processed per day, per plant. If an average beef cow weighs 1,150 pounds, that means 2609 cows a day are turned into burgers. That’s 952,285 cows per year. And that’s just in the United States.This means the constant slaughter, day by day, of animals born and bred solely to be turned into McDonald's products. Some of them - especially chickens and pigs - spend their lives in the entirely artificial conditions of huge factory farms, with no access to air or sunshine and no freedom of movement. Their deaths are bloody and barbaric. In the slaughterhouse, animals often struggle to escape. Cattle become frantic as they watch the animal before them in the killing-line being prodded, beaten, electrocuted, and knifed.

Chicken McNuggets everyone!!

It started with you. Moms and dads are trying hard to get their kids to be more nutrition-minded. We listened. That’s why our popular Happy Meals will have fewer calories and include a side of fruit. It’s why our Chicken McNuggets now have less sodium. And why our national communications to kids will champion their well-being. And that’s just the beginning. We’re committed to giving you more delicious choices to feel good about in the months and years to come. Because we all have the same goal: making sure the things your kids love are things you can feel good about.

Real food is perishable. With time, it begins to decay. It’s a natural process, it just happens. Beef will rot, bread will mold. But what about a McDonald’s burger? Karen Hanrahan saved a McDonald’s burger from 1996 and, oddly enough, it looks just as “appetizing” and “fresh” as a burger you might buy today. Is this real food? The processed fat in McDonald’s food (and other fast food) promotes endothelial dysfunction for up to 5 hours after eating the meal. Endothelial tissue is what lines the inside of blood vessels. Eating a McDonald’s chicken sandwich, it will give you about 2/3 of the recommended daily amount of sodium. And if you actually do have high blood pressure, that’s way more than you really need. To achieve the artificial conformity of food that looks and feels and tastes exactly the same in any outlet anywhere in the world, McDonald's require that their "fresh lettuce leaf", for example, is treated with twelve different chemicals just to keep it the right colour at the right crispness for th right length of time.  

It might as well be a bit of plastic!

McDonald's food is so lacking in bulk it is hardly possible to chew it. Even their own figures show that a "quarter-pounder" is 48% water. This sort of fake food encourages over-eating, and the high sugar and sodium content can make people develop a kind of addiction - a 'craving'. That means more profit for McDonald's, but constipation, clogged arteries and heart attacks for many customers.

Oh, and one more thing... Take a look at the ingredients of the BicMac "Secret Sauce". (definitely a secret, i have no idea what half of those ingredients even are, do you know what you are eating?)

Soybean oil, pickle relish [diced pickles, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, vinegar, corn syrup, salt, calcium chloride, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate (preservative), spice extractives, polysorbate 80], distilled vinegar, water, egg yolks, high fructose corn syrup, onion powder, mustard seed, salt, spices, propylene glycol alginate, sodium benzoate (preservative), mustard bran, sugar, garlic powder, vegetable protein (hydrolyzed corn, soy and wheat), caramel color, extractives of paprika, soy lecithin, turmeric (color), calcium disodium EDTA (protect flavor).

Thank you for your cooperation?! Fuck You McDonald's

Enslaving People

Human trafficking around the world is reaching horrific proportions. With an estimated 12 million people worldwide living in slavery, human trafficking is the third most profitable criminal activity after drugs and arms trafficking. 80% of trafficking victims are women, and an estimated 2 million children are bought and sold each year. 80% of trafficking involves sexual exploitation of vulnerable women, usually under the age of 18. With $4 billion attributed to the brothel industry worldwide, sex trafficking is big business, with very few people ever arrested or convicted of trafficking. Under-reported and under-prosecuted, these girls and women are the silent victims of poverty and war. Many were living in horrific conditions and some were as young as five, depending on older children for their survival. Today, human trafficking is approximately a $31.6 billion global industry, making it the third most lucrative criminal activity in the world after illegal drugs and black-market guns. It's about time we opened our eyes to this grim reality. We are very far from an ideal world, and no one should ever be immune from justice.

 In the U.S., as many as 40,000 kids are trafficked within their own borders each year.

******

Hundreds of human trafficking victims are estimated to pass through Finland annually. But for many victims, Finland is the final destination. However in Finland, a large number of suspected human trafficking victims are men who are used for labour. Finland is used as a transit point to other EU countries.

******

France is a destination country for women trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and involuntary domestic servitude, primarily from Eastern and Central Europe and Africa. The government estimates that there are 10,000 to 12,000 trafficking victims in France, 3,000-8,000 of whom are children forced into prostitution and labor.

******

Over 5,000 women and children have been trafficked from the Philippines, Russia and Eastern Europe and are forced into prostitution in bars servicing the U.S. Military in South Korea.

******

British police estimate that up to 4,000 human trafficking victims, mostly women, are being exploited in the UK at any given time.

Trudie Styler (UNICEF UK) : 

One of my most vivid memories is visiting a woman called Angelina, who was dedicating her life to helping the young girls who had been set to work on the streets as prostitutes. I went to meet many of the young girls myself, the oldest of whom was no more than 17. Nervous at first, each began their own personal account of what had happened to them -- and they had all thought they were coming to the city to earn money as domestic servants or waitresses, that they would be able to send an income back to their families in rural Ecuador, and that this was their chance of a lifetime. A trusted male family member or friend had in each case persuaded the families to hand over their children for the promise of a better life. Their freedom taken, these girls had entered a life of abuse far from home, kept to all intents and purposes as slaves.

"It wasn't too bad... as long as I brought in my quota every night."

"I mean, if I made $2,000 for my pimp he was happy."

If I didn't make that much... that's when he would start beating me."

Sharon was all alone, a 19-year-old runaway taking a trip to nowhere on a New York City subway when he approached. "You're pretty," he told her. "And I bet you're hungry. Let me buy you some food and some clean clothes." As the child of two drug-addicted parents... a child who was sent to live with her grandmother, only to be raped by her grandmother's boyfriend... a young woman who had spent way too many of her 19 years on the streets... this was the best offer she had heard in her brief, tragic life. "Then he took me to his apartment and beat me," she said.

Sharon's pimp enslaved her and forced her to sell her body in cities all across the United States.

"We would work the streets for about a week at a time in each city, until he thought he made as much as he could," Sharon said. "Then we moved on. One girl tried to escape. He beat her and we never saw her again."

Where is the outrage that our children are being bought and sold? Why isn't rescuing the thousands and thousands of children being enslaved a priority?
