The Art of Creating Patients and minting money, are you a Victim?

NEWS CLIPS:

1. Heart diseases increasing in India
2. World Heart Day 2014: Is India Staring at a Heart Disease Epidemic?

TRUTH:

An extensive and in-depth retrospective study of heart attacks and heart diseases, including other vascular diseases, was done by William Stehabens, a professor of Pathology, who studied the medical records of over 100 years in the USA and in Europe.  His conclusions very clearly showed that there has never been any absolute increase in the incidence of heart or vessel diseases in the last one hundred years.  The increase reported in smaller studies from time to time, was based on labeling and wrong diagnostic criteria. 

WHY?

If you can't increase population faster then your greed then increase the patients. If none exist then create few artificial patients. You got to sell the drugs :)

EXAMPLE OF PATIENT CREATION

The British Hypertension Society propagates a level of 160 mm mercury systolic and 100 mm Hg. diastolic as the cut-off points for the treatment of high blood pressure, the Americans have brought it down to 140 and 90 mm correspondingly, and more recently to 120/80.  Now when you test with latest standards, you will get more patients of blood pressure.

THE ECONOMICS OF THIS MINOR CHANGE

Between the blood pressure readings of 140/90 and 160/100 there are estimated to be about 50-60 million Americans.  If the newly labelled 60 million were to be treated, the drug companies would net 8-10 billion dollars per year.  

Doctors in India are doing the same in India and labelling more people as heart patients even when there is no natural increase. Articles have been posted everywhere scaring people about cholesterol levels which have been adjusted for their own good.

The more number of centers established to look after this kind of patients, investing large amounts of money, the larger will be the labelling of heart disease in society.
