A-Infos (en) Spaine, Catalunya, FAC: Chronicle of an Intoxicated Society - AUTHOR: Joan-Ramon Laporte (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Joan-Ramon Laporte, professor of therapeutics and clinical pharmacology 
at the UAB with an extensive academic and professional career that is 
difficult to discredit as a suspect of unscientificity, brings us with 
this essay a denunciation of a healthcare system hijacked by the 
interests of pharmaceutical companies. ---- An extensive essay but with 
pleasant language that is in no way a criticism of allopathic medicine, 
but rather a raw portrait of the healthcare system and that brings us 
closer to understanding the mechanisms and structures that allow us to 
live in a sick and polymedicated society today.

Pharmaceutical lobbies that influence the legislation and regulation of 
the drug market. Systemic and systematic fraud where corruption, 
conflicts of interest and bribes travel through all layers of the 
system, from high political spheres to the CAPS.

Cruel, manipulated and fraudulent clinical trials, often carried out by 
private companies hired ad hoc by the same pharmaceutical companies, in 
order to obtain the desired results. Clinical trials that if they are 
not favorable, and cannot be faked, are hidden with the necessary 
complicity of the administrations and regulatory agencies.

Millions of public euros that pass through the health system to end up 
fattening the coffers of Big Pharma, to the detriment of the deficient 
hiring of professionals and that, paradoxically, does not result in an 
improvement in the health of the population; quite the opposite.

Diagnosis of diseases in healthy people by supposedly inadequate 
laboratory values according to parameters established with criteria 
lacking independent scientific studies or, pathologizing social unrest 
by labeling it with a wide range of names of disorders. The most 
overmedicated population today are the most vulnerable people. 
Over-diagnosis, inadequate doses, unjustifiably indefinite treatments, 
drug cocktails, lead to a scenario of Iatrogenicity with thousands of 
deaths and illnesses that in most cases go unpunished.

A terrifying panorama where patients are little more than potential 
customers of unscrupulous drug multinationals with insulting profits.

In the words of Laporte: "science has masters".

Manual for having a critical view and surviving the healthcare system.
