Dr. David Dao has a sordid past with Prescription Drugs

There is only one “David Dao” licensed by the Kentucky Board of Medical License David A.D. Dao in Elizabethtown, near Louisville where the infamous United Airlines flight was scheduled to land. The Louisville Courier-Journal reported that Dao had years before made news for a different reasons. He had been convicted in a lurid prescription drug case.
David A. D. Dao’s license was suspended in 2003 following his arrest on charges including unlawful prescribing and trafficking of a controlled substance.
The New York Post and a number of news organizations have reported that Dr. Dao of Elizabethtown had been accused of providing Vicodin to a patient in exchange for sex. He was accused and convicted and sentenced to probation for exchanging sex, money and prescription drugs to an office employee. The trial included video tapes of the “doctor” and his victim in a motel. He surrendered his license in 2005, but it was reinstated in 2015 partially. The doctor clearly took advantage of a person’s addiction. Patients go to doctors to relieve their aliments not to extend them. It is also the doctor pharmaceutical relationship that is at play as well.
The LA Times reported that Purdue Pharma aided and abetted crimes which created a surge in heroin overdoses across the country. A suit from the DA in Everett Washington is underway, which we blogged about recently. This shows that the wrong people in charge of drugs can wreak havoc on society. Instead of an apple a day to keep the doctor away. Maybe research each day can keep the doctor away.

Sesame Street to Announce Autism Muppet

The Muppet to be named Julia already exits, but will get her autism depute on April 10th according to PBS and Sesame Street. It is in collaboration and a campaign awareness with Autism Speaks. Autism has also been linked to vaccines. The irony here is that Elmo and the surgeon general promoted that vaccines were safe, and to “tell your friends to get vaccinated too” as part of the ad campaign. PBS seems to want children under ten to be indoctrinated with promoting vaccines. What is a seven year old supposed to do pressure his or her mother?

Back in late 2015 Florida Congressman Bill Posey urged congress to investigate the CDC (Center for Disease Control) about a claim that MMR vaccines lead to high incidence of autism.
Nothing seems to have come of that. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two drugs for treating irritability associated with the autism (risperidone and aripiprazole). Risperidone is actually an antipsychotic medicine. It is another one of those drugs that change the brains chemicals. If you believe that nonsense that all you are is a test tube. Risperidone is used to treat schizophrenia and symptoms of bipolar disorder or manic depression. It is also used in autistic children to treat symptoms of irritability. It is approved for use in psychotic conditions related to dementia. Pharmaceutical companies like the one drugs fits all conditions, so their duped doctors just prescribe them at will.
Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic. It is prescribed to treat agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depression. Abilify is an aripiprazole drug. Strange though Abilify’s ad campaign is if your anti-depressant doesn’t work then you may need to add Abilify. There ads tell everyone that the products don’t work.
A person who is autistic has difficulty with communication, learns slower, and has social challenges. The bird brain pharma frauds have not come up with a drug to directly assist communication issues with autistic kids, but we are sure they will. They will call it a chemical problem in the brain, and mixes some powder with a drop of this or that and markets it as a solution. They used to call it snake oil years ago, or maybe pharma is autistic.
Pharma has gotten many to believe that the human body is a bunch or chemicals. And that your chemicals are all out of whack thus you need more chemicals to put those stray ones back together. Way too many people have bought into this non-sense, even good doctors included. It is all about money, and not solutions.

If you know organic all natural products are the way to go, then pharma drugs are not for you.

CBS News Interview-$760 million Paid to Doctors By Pharma Past Two Years

A dozen pharmaceutical companies have given doctors and other healthcare providers more than $760 million over the past two years - and those companies' sales comprise 40 percent of the U.S. market.
The numbers come from the non-profit journalism organization Pro Publica, which assembled and continues to update a database on the payments.
The payments, says Pro Publica, are for consulting, speaking, research and expenses on the part of the providers.
Drug companies have traditionally been very tight-lipped about those payments, Pro Publica notes, but, "Over the past two years, companies have begun posting this information on their websites, some as the result of legal settlements with the federal government."
What's more, Pro Publica points out, "Federal law requires that all companies publicly report this data beginning in 2013. That information will be posted on a government website."
With bucks that big flying around, is the quality of care offered by providers accepting them compromised? "Absolutely," said Dr. John Santa, head of the Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center.
"Money works," Santa told "Early Show on Saturday Morning" co-anchor Russ Mitchell. "Doctors are human. Doctors who take money from drug companies are more likely to give you an expensive drug or more likely to give you a drug you may not need."
A recent Consumer Reports survey had 72 percent of respondents saying they believe pharmaceutical companies have too much influence on the drugs that doctors prescribe; 85 percent saying they were concerned about drug companies rewarding doctors who write a lot of prescriptions for their drugs; and 76 percent saying they were concerned about doctors providing testimonials or serving as a spokesperson for a drug.
Santa says he'd be reluctant to advise someone to go to a doctor who has that sort of relationship: "The issue is, who are you working for? Me, as the patient? Or the drug company you're taking money from?"
Do the payments result in doctors not giving patients the least expensive drugs in some cases?
"Absolutely," Santa replied. "We know from our studies and others that there are still many opportunities for doctors to prescribe generic drugs and they're not doing it, and one of the reasons is these financial relationships."
Santa pointed to three signs that could tip off patients that their doctor is getting drug company money.
First off - seeing drug company salespeople in a doctor's office. "The last time I was in a medical office," Santa says, "there were three drug representatives in the waiting room. I haven't been back."
Another sign? Free drug samples. "People think a free sample is a good thing," Santa observes. "Well, the expensive prescription that follows it, if it works, is not a good thing. It can be, again, a much more expensive drug than you may need."
Also: Marketing materials in the physician's office. "Doctors who have relationships with drug companies will often have promotional materials, will have information that they give patients that come from the drug company. You should be wary of that," Santa cautioned.
And what if you spot any of those signs?
"First of all," Santa suggested, "you shouldn't hesitate to ask, 'Do you have a relationship with a drug company? Is it your policy and your practice to take money from drug companies?' More and more, I think, it's good for consumers to ask those kinds of questions.
"What you should especially ask, though, is, 'What are my other options?'"
