From the award-winning director of Vaccine Nation, The Drugging of our Children, Prescription for Disaster, Gulf War Syndrome: Killing Our Own, and AIDS Inc. comes the latest film of critical social importance: Death by Medicine.
Death by Medicine takes a hard look at the dominant medical paradigm contributing to America’s health crisis. Based on Gary Null’s groundbreaking book by the same name about the hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths caused by conventional medicine, this documentary examines the medical–industrial complex and the influence of drug representatives; the pharmaceutical industry’s usurpation of the nation’s medical schools, research, and peer-reviewed scientific journals; the falsified drug trials; the power of private insurance firms and the lobbying of our legislators; and the complicity of federal health agencies which allow this to happen. The result is a medical system no longer based on sound science. Why is there a lack of oversight by the government regulatory agencies while private-interest lobbyists call the shots for national healthcare?
From FDA and FBI raids on cherry farmers to the halls of Congress, the film documents the hostile attack on the natural health industry. A mercenary healthcare system and the failures of a just and fair healthcare policy has left the US as the 37th-best healthcare system in the world. The American medical system is broken, utterly corrupted by money, and no longer founded on scientific fact. The answer is to create an entirely new medical paradigm—a healthier, more holistic system that is concerned with people’s health rather than stock prices, careers, and reputations.
