Pharmocracy uncovers egregious FDA incompetence and abuse, and shows how over-regulation causes lifesaving medications to be delayed or suppressed altogether, and makes consumers pay inflated prices for FDA-approved therapies that are only minimally effective and often dangerous.
Available From:
Governments collapse when ineptitude and corruption reach such outrageous magnitudes that the citizenry has no choice but to revolt.
Since 1980, William Faloon and the Life Extension Foundation® have published articles exposing how over-regulation in the United States causes lifesaving medications to be delayed, or suppressed altogether. In this book, Faloon reveals in meticulous detail how consumers pay inflated prices for what are often dangerous and only minimally effective FDA-approved therapies.
While Pharmocracy uncovers egregious FDA incompetence and abuse, it is Congress that provides the FDA with enabling laws that result in needless suffering and death.
Pharmocracy presents factual and irrefutable logic to reform today’s broken healthcare system that is financially devastating the United States.

“There’s an entire world of reliable research-based scientific information about preventing illness and treating disease with safe natural substances—vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other things—that’s being deliberately hidden from you! If you prefer patent medicines (“pharmaceuticals”), you are also being deliberately prevented from accessing them at the very best prices. No, I’m not kidding or exaggerating at all. If all of this information were made freely available, and barriers to access were eliminated, the cost of health care would drop dramatically within just a few years, and both as individuals and a nation, we’d be much healthier with much less expense.
Bill Faloon’s Pharmocracy details exactly why this enormous amount of information is being withheld, and describes precisely how it is being done, despite our Constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. He writes about the “barriers to access” to less expensive patent medicines (“pharmaceuticals”). Please read this book if you want to know why—despite miracle surgeries and diagnostic techniques—American health care is much more costly and less effective than it could be if we truly had freedom of choice, freedom of information and freedom of access here in these United States of America.
Pharmocracy doesn’t just detail these problems, it gives us the solutions. If you want access to this vast amount of reliable information and less expensive treatments that will help you and your family stay as healthy as you can as long as you can, please read this book and take action! Together we can get it done.”
—Jonathan V. Wright, M.D.

“The most complete informational indictment of the FDA to date, this book exposes the lies and corruption we face from the pharmaceutical industry and it's puppet the FDA.”
Amazon Review (December 29, 2012)
——
Bill Falloon's newest book is a well-written, well-researched synopsis of how the profoundly corrupt alliance between the FDA, Congress, and Big Pharma's lobbyists rewards obscene profits for Big Pharma at the expense of the health of the American people AND the financial solvency of the United States.
Amazon Review (April 4, 2012)
