The spotlight on rising drug prices just keeps getting brighter with lawmakers filing bills and holding hearings, presidential candidates devising anti-price-hike plans, doctors campaigning on social media, think tanks devising cost-benefit measures. The controversies are doing pharma no favors with consumers, either, most Americans blame drugmakers for their own rising pharmacy bills. The last thing pharma needs right now is a scandalous price hike to turn up the heat even further right? But that's just what Turing Pharma and its CEO, Martin Shkreli, have on offer, as the company just bought a standard-of-care drug for toxoplasmosis infections, Daraprim, and promptly decided to jack up the price by 5000%! Theres a reason RSB says the worst thing you can have is health insurance, because you will end up broke AND dead! On that subject, of course Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, plans to unveil her own fix to this contrived problem and undoubtably pit the bill to the American citizen through centralized taxation hikes. On the GMO front, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Washington have decided to join Vermont is a fierce stand against GMO's through labeling selections to differentiate at the retail level. In hour 2 RSB is joined by Dr. Rashid Buttar for another Advanced Medicine Monday! First on the plate, following the mention of the polio vaccination in the 2nd GOP debate, a fervor of disillusion and criticism has hounded after Presidential candidate Donald Trump after he dared to break the social norm and mention how one of his employees children developed autism after receiving the shot. Dr. Buttar and RSB will lay down the true history of the polio vaccine, especially in India, and why you and your family may want to forgo that "preventive medical option". The doctors will also discuss a new study which tried to address a long left paradigm in modern culture, that being, what the Food and Drug Administration calls a 'breakthrough' drug is often not the same as what a layperson would call a breakthrough. Do you think the FDA use this misunderstanding often to their advantage? After answering some of our fans questions, RSB and Dr. Buttar will end by dissecting an interesting new study which shows something both have explained into depth, regarding looking to allopathic surgeries as a solution to issues only holistic medicine can effectively treat. The study showed that children who have their tonsils removed to treat sleep apnea are more likely to suffer breathing complications than kids who have the procedure for other reasons. http://www.robertscottbell.com/?p=32732
