Ex-Pharma Sales Reps Speaks Out - Pharma Not in Business of Health, Healing, Cures, Wellness.
Gwen Olsen spent fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales rep working for such healthcare giants as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott Laboratories. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced career until several conscious-altering experiences began awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet. Her most poignant lessons, however, came as both victim and survivor of life-threatening adverse drug reactions. After leaving pharmaceutical sales in 2000, Gwen worked in the natural foods industry first as an Account Manager for Nature’s Way, and then as a Regional Sales Manager for Gaia Herbs. She is currently a writer, speaker, and natural health consultant.
The United States health care system is killing Americans at an alarming rate, even though we spend over fifteen percent of the Gross National Product (GNP) on health care. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, our health care outcomes ranked only fifteenth among twenty-five industrialized nations worldwide. Adverse effects from prescription drugs have become the third-leading killer of Americans. Only heart disease and cancer claim more lives. We trust our doctors to inform us and our government to protect us from medical malfeasance that may put profits ahead of consumer health and safety. But the fine line walked by the FDA between the interests of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the American public has continually been crossed. The result is the unleashing of an unprecedented number of lethal drugs on the U.S. market!
Gwen Olsen learned firsthand the danger that lurks in every American’s medicine cabinet, working in the pharmaceutical industry. But her most poignant education would come as a victim and, ultimately, as a survivor.

We are so accustomed to taking our doctor’s word that this comes as an excellent warning to be more vigilant.

This should be a wake up call for everyone. The fundamental change that needs to happen is for people to understand that health itself is not being symptom free and having low cholesterol. True Health comes from the inside out. True health is actively promoting 100% function of your body. Your day-to-day lifestyle habits have a tremendous impact on your ability to be healthy. The public must take control of their own health and not place it in the hands of big pharma!

SMOKE POT

this lady speaks the truth in this video.she’s digging up the dirt about these bunch of bastards.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:41 am
I’m not anti-medication or anti-doctor. Some medications are just worse than others. In acute care drugs saves lives, in long term symptom management, drugs often lead to an early death.
One of the problems is that as long as the drug industry is making 20 billion a year off antidepressants no one will rush to find a cure for depression.
These drugs are looked at as a solution when in fact they don’t solve the problem; in the mean time, Pharma makes billions w/out incentive to research cures.

I think the amphetamine drugs can help people concentrate and improve athletic performance, at least temporary.
Anti-seizure medications have their place.
However, antidepressants are a total scam and probably the largest scam in the last 50 years.
Anxioletics do inhibit the stress response well but are highly addictive.
IMO, Antipsychotics should be banned. They cause early death, permanent neurological damage and movement disorder.
None of these drugs cure anything.

That’s something I already knew that some of the drugs can cause rapid weight gain leading to obesity and other problems that go along with that.. But what you’re saying is no good can come from taking these drugs, i dont agree with that

Google, “mentally ill die 25 years”

When you say that antidepressants are no more effective than sugar pills, does the same hold true for mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. What other alternatives do people with extreme depression(which can causes pyshosis) have. These people truly benefits from drugs, don’t you agree?
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Not really no. I think there are better alternatives.
The truth is when you combine all the antidepressant clinical trials into a meta-analysis, they are no more effective than sugar pills except in the most extreme classes of depression, and in those cases they are still only slightly more effective than placebo.
Of course after a person is addicted to them, they will need to take them to function or they will experience withdrawal symptoms bu that’s an artificial dependency.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Don’t you agree that some people need anti-depressants to function.?
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
the US is run by the insurance and the pharmaceutical industries. They are killing all of us. Period. They are getting rich from our suffering!
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Good information. I also recommend Michael Moore’s movie, “Sicko” (info like Gwen Olsen’s book).
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
do people actually think this lady is lieing.I don,t think so.what she,s saying is the truth.alot of doctors today are nothing more than a bunch of legal drug pushers.and big pharma is behind it all.some of the terrible side effects from these drugs are horrible.they don,t give a hell about peoples health.theres to much money exchanged between these bastards,governments,big pharma.

What about heroin?
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Well, if you’re going to be skeptical of doctors, their procedures and the drug companies, you might as well be skeptical of people selling books too, even if, as you say, they’re not making as much money as they used to make. Any time I’ve run into somebody spouting what they call “the real truth”, they’re invariably selling something. A lot of times they’ve been fired from the industry they’re critical of or they have some kind of grudge or mental problem. I don’t know in this case, but in…
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Great theory but I know her and she doesn’t make even a 10th of money she use to make while working in the industry.
She gave up a six figure income job, unlimited expense account, full health benefits, etc. to do what she does now.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:42 am
She spent 15 years in the industry. She was “one of the best of the best” at promoting drugs for the drug companies. She worked hand in hand with the same companies she now says treat your family as “cash cows”.
So now she’s found a better way to make money… Using youtube to promote her book… I mean “shocking expose”.
