那些醫學背後的黑幕
那些醫學背後的黑幕
2014年06月07日
作者：陶昌文（醫師）Apple Daily Taiwan
許多的「病」，西醫不能確定其原因，只能把它稱為「症」，或是「症候群」。
我是一位麻醉科醫師，我協助外科治療疾病，為了我的工作以及自己的健康，我需要了解疾病。
五月十五日，優秀的中天主播史哲維先生自殺身亡；五月十二日台南白河的吳先生、板橋的彭女士自殺身亡。如果他們都沒有吃過抗憂鬱劑，我今天不會寫這篇文章，畢竟真相應該被知曉。
在過去擔任醫職的二十年中，我大量閱讀西方自然醫學著作，以及東方中醫書籍，也讀了物理學家所研究的能量醫學著作。很久以前我就體會到，正統的西方醫學並沒有所有醫學的答案。
許多的「病」，西醫不能確定其原因，只能把它稱為「症」，或是「症候群」。可是一般大眾並不了解「病」與「症」的差別，這些「症」，透過媒體的宣傳或其他行銷手法，很容易「教育」（誤導）大眾把症狀當成疾病，需要看醫生、吃藥。例如睡不好、焦慮、憂鬱，還有更年期現象、老人的骨質疏鬆等等，但是這些「症狀」其實只是人們生活中的種種經歷。
這種「病」「症」難分的手法，最常為一般西醫所使用，他們是這種手法的受益人。而另一方的受益者是藥廠。兩者結合則成為「發明疾病的人」（這也是個書名，作者為德國資深醫療記者）。
行銷這些「病」需要大把的銀子。錢從哪裡來？曾聽說最賺錢的三大產業是甚麼嗎？石油、軍火、製藥！藥廠是最賺錢的產業之一。
除了直接打廣告宣傳藥物，或是透過媒體炒作疾病之外，接下來藥廠還能做甚麼來「教育」大眾呢？
首先醫生和藥廠們要成立「公益」團體，讓曾經患「症」吃藥的人告訴大家，這個「症」是多麼嚴重的「病」。然後受苦的患者得到了同情與注意，這個「症」也達到了宣傳的效果。這些運作所需經費來自「善心人士」，其中包括藥廠的捐款。顯少有人提醒大家，「症」是表面的現象，就如發燒、頭痛、咳嗽只是感冒症狀；「病」則是因為身體內部的器官、細胞有了問題而導致。
藥廠也會捐款給知名大學的醫生或是教授做研究。教授升等需要研究報告，藥廠也需研究報告證明藥物有效。
http://easss.com/health
當然，這些經費不會直接由藥廠開立支票留下痕跡。經費來源可能是政府單位或是私人的基金會等等。魚幫水，水幫魚，再自然不過。然而，有無可能「有心人士」會要求研究的結果要朝特定方向發展呢？
這種魚水關係，有其歷史。一九六八年，哈佛醫學院的病理學助教麥庫利醫師，研究且證實了「同半胱胺酸」是造成心臟血管阻塞的原因，但是他卻被逼離哈佛醫學院，到鄉下的一家小醫院做病理科醫師，沒有辦法申請到任何研究經費。
原因在於當時許多經費都已投注在研究膽固醇上，想證實膽固醇是造成心血管阻塞的原因。就在那些密集研究之後，治療膽固醇過高的藥物立即上市，至今這種藥每年仍然為藥廠帶來不少進帳。
不但如此，西醫界還降低膽固醇需要吃藥的標準值，也就是說更多的人需要吃藥。醫生的收入往往跟藥廠的收入息息相關。而「同半胱胺酸」半世紀以來似乎無人關心，為什麼呢？因為若要降低同半胱胺酸指數，只要服用維他命即可。藥廠無法靠維他命申請專利，醫生用維他命治病會被其他的醫生攻擊。所以患者的利益就不列入考慮了。
在台灣，抗憂鬱劑及鎮靜劑曾經是精神科才能開出的藥品。在醫師公會向衛生署爭取後，所有的醫師都可以開立這些藥品的處方了。
文明流行病「憂鬱症」再次證明，醫生的收入跟藥廠的收入息息相關。為什麼有醫生常告訴病人，你這種病不能根治，要長期吃藥？因為病人好了，藥少開了，收入就不穩定了。
目前健保的制度，讓醫生能藉由開藥量來增加收入。老婆要買香奈兒，兒子要補習英文，給老病人多開幾種藥就得了。
還有，為什麼任何醫生都可以開抗憂鬱劑及鎮靜劑？因為精神科沒有客觀具體的科學根據。憂鬱症理論上是腦部血清素不足，但它不需要抽取腦部液體檢驗證明就可以開藥，只要醫生說是憂鬱症就是憂鬱症。
一般的社會大眾也想不到要問醫生，為何叫憂鬱「症」不叫憂鬱「病」？然而，大家都被教育成凡事乖乖聽醫生的話才對，所以沒問醫生，為何不抽血或做其他檢查，看看是否某個器官出了問題，才表現出憂鬱症狀。人們只看到醫師袍，看不到其背後無形操縱的藥廠推手。
甚至在醫學地位崇高的期刊上，許多的研究論文、報告，其實是由藥廠的研究人員所寫，寫完後掛上某大學醫學教授或是某知名醫療中心的醫師為作者。這類事情不勝枚舉，已經導致《美國醫學會期刊》的主編之一憤而辭職，寫下《藥廠黑幕》一書。
現在最容易販賣的疾病不外乎憂鬱及過動。抗憂鬱劑「會引發自殺念頭以及暴力行為」，美國食品藥物管理局規定藥廠須將此警告標語印在藥物包裝紙盒上。可是台灣沒有任何領藥的患者會看到這些紙盒，醫院和藥局不會把原裝紙盒給他們，何況原廠藥品印的是英文字。最近自殺的中天主播一定想不到，他因為睡不好而吃下去的抗憂鬱劑，才最可能讓他有自殺想法。
近來，可憐的新北市兒童開始被篩檢有無過動症。我相信新北市長很想為民謀福利，只是他不明瞭，「過動症」是精神科醫生以「舉手投票」的方式表決出來的。也就是說舉手的人不夠多，某些症狀就不是精神病了。這種非科學檢測的病症投票制，曾在一九六八年表決通過同性戀是精神疾病，後來在同性戀團體多次上街遊行後，一九八七年又以投票的方式將其排除。我想提醒市長及所有民眾，除了精神科，其他醫科是不以舉手投票來決定疾病的，因為一切都有科學根據。
治療過動的合法藥物「利他能」是一種中樞神經興奮劑，它的化學結構竟然與毒品安非他命非常接近。我曾聽過使用該類毒品的人描述，在藥性發作的一段時間裡，身心會處於一種做事非常專注的狀態。這不很像「利他能」促使過動兒的專注嗎？
民眾一定從沒看過藥物包裝盒中的仿單，這張仿單是政府硬性規定藥廠要附在包裝裡的，它列出了一長串的藥物「副作用」及「罕見副作用」。有興趣的人可以上網查藥物仿單，只要仔細對照每一種副作用，就會發現醫院給的藥袋上，並沒有列出所有的副作用。可能是因為一張紙還列不完，而且列出來就沒人敢吃了。
但是精神科最常做的一件事，就是開更多的藥物來處理那些副作用，於是病患的身體機能被小藥丸們開開關關，無法自主，而以此行事的醫生則荷包滿滿。我一位朋友父執輩的兒子從醫學院畢業後選擇作精神科，父親問他為何選精神科，他說：「因為病人都需要終生吃藥，我一輩子不缺病人。」
在此奉勸凡是小孩好動而造成大人困擾的家長們，一定要找非精神科醫師為他仔細檢查身體。
有時候孩子只是營養不均衡，吃太多糖分、色素、不良加工食品，或是蛋白質不足，而表現出注意力缺乏。要知道過敏不見得只是皮膚發癢或流鼻水，有時候，過敏反應也會引發坐立難安。
然而，這些林林總總的資訊，沒有人完整的教育大眾。為什麼呢？請讓我再說一次，教育大眾要成本，錢從哪裡來？藥廠會花錢教育大眾不要吃藥嗎？畢竟再有益於患者的研究報告，一旦跟藥無關，是創造不出醫藥收入的。
人與人之間的信賴關係很可貴，尤其是醫師與患者間，原本該心懷相同目標，可惜醫療產業背後卻隱藏著一些鮮為人知的秘密。或許大部分人難以窺其全貌，但是您看過偵探片吧？通常偵探們會說一句話：「追蹤錢就是了！」跟您息息相關的醫療問題，或許也可由此線索，探求真相。

The 10 foods you should never eat
The 10 foods you should never eat
Foods to Avoid, foods you should never eat
As a human being, when we are told not to do something, our instinct can be to do exactly that. Indeed, this can be the case with food restriction but when you are a trained nutritionist there are some foods that you know offer so little nutritionally that you would rather not eat at all than get your energy from these particular options. Some of these may seem obvious while some may surprise you as they commonly masquerade as "healthy" options
WHITE BREAD
While it may claim to be as good as wholemeal or wholegrain breads with extra fibre and nutrients added, it is still not as good nutritionally as wholegrain bread. In fact, in the eyes of a nutritionist, pure white bread sends blood glucose levels skyrocketing in a similar way to confectionery or soft drinks. Yes, it is true that sourdough is a better option but it does not change the fact that for those who can tolerate it, grain bread is best.
SOFT DRINK
This one needs no explanation, perhaps ranking the worst of all when it comes to nutrition cost benefit analysis. With nine teaspoons of sugar per can, and as liquid sugars are among the worst we can consume, you do not need a nutrition degree to know that soft drink is bad news.
BANANA BREAD
If you consider that the average muffin or slice of banana bread contains more than 60 grams of total carbohydrate (the equivalent of four slices of bread), 20-30 grams of fat and at least four teaspoons of sugar, it is safe to say that there is nothing healthy about banana bread except the bananas, and it should really just be called banana cake.
LOLLIES
It does not matter if they are "natural" or "fruit" flavoured, lollies are basically pure sugar. Five to six individual lollies contain as much as three to six teaspoons of sugar. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a sweet treat occasionally but who can stop at just five or six. If you are looking for a sweet hit, a few squares of dark chocolate is a much better option nutritionally.
CHOCOLATE NUT SPREAD
Popular in Europe, chocolate nut spreads are frequently present on Italian dessert menus but here we are encouraged to spread them on toast instead of jam or peanut butter. With the first few ingredients listed as sugar and vegetable oil, chocolate spread contains a lot more bad fat than it does good fat from nuts.
FRUIT BARS
There is a massive difference between a piece of fresh fruit, with all the nutrients and fibre it contains, and the compressed mix of fruit, sugar, gums and flavours that make up a fruit stick or strap. Not only are processed fruit snacks a nightmare for the teeth, they are also far more concentrated in energy than fruit itself. Eat your fruit the way nature intended it, not from a packet.
DOUGHNUTS
One of the relatively few foods that still contains a significant dose of trans fats, the type of fat that has been directly linked to heart disease, doughnuts are one of the worst baked goods nutritionally. Topped with high sugar icing and loads of fat, the average doughnut will set you back at least 400 calories and 20 grams of total fat, 10 of which are saturated.
RICE SNACKS
It doesn't matter if rice has been made into a snack bar, cake, puff or crisp, rice is a dense source of high glycaemic index carbohydrate, which means that blood glucose levels rapidly increase after it is consumed, along with the hormone insulin, which promotes fat storage in the body. Rice snacks are also low in protein and other key nutrients. They simply offer "empty calories" along with a rapid rise in blood glucose levels rather than long lasting energy. Better snack options when it comes to blood glucose control include corn- or rye-based cakes and crackers.
CHEESE-FLAVOURED SNACKS
While you can find plain potato chips cooked in sunflower oil, cheese-flavoured snacks can be pretty nasty - packed with fat, flavours, colours and even MSG, the ingredient list itself explains why it is difficult to stop eating once you start but also why a plain potato chip cooked in sunflower oil is many times better than any extruded cheese snack.
MARGARINE
Spreads are a controversial food topic among nutrition professionals as the recommended switch from butter to margarine originally came from evidence that plant-based oils were better for the heart than animal-based fat. While this is true, nutritionists will generally recommend foods that are as natural as possible and when it comes to margarine it is an added fat that we do not "need" in our diet. In general, we get plenty of good fat from avocados, nuts, good quality oils, seeds already. If you do choose to use a spread, at least look for a reduced fat variety.
Susie Burrell is a nutritionist and author.
Is there a food that you studiously avoid?
Foods to Avoid, foods you should never eat
As a human being, when we are told not to do something, our instinct can be to do exactly that. Indeed, this can be the case with food restriction but when you are a trained nutritionist there are some foods that you know offer so little nutritionally that you would rather not eat at all than get your energy from these particular options. Some of these may seem obvious while some may surprise you as they commonly masquerade as "healthy" options
WHITE BREAD
While it may claim to be as good as wholemeal or wholegrain breads with extra fibre and nutrients added, it is still not as good nutritionally as wholegrain bread. In fact, in the eyes of a nutritionist, pure white bread sends blood glucose levels skyrocketing in a similar way to confectionery or soft drinks. Yes, it is true that sourdough is a better option but it does not change the fact that for those who can tolerate it, grain bread is best.
SOFT DRINK
This one needs no explanation, perhaps ranking the worst of all when it comes to nutrition cost benefit analysis. With nine teaspoons of sugar per can, and as liquid sugars are among the worst we can consume, you do not need a nutrition degree to know that soft drink is bad news.
BANANA BREAD
If you consider that the average muffin or slice of banana bread contains more than 60 grams of total carbohydrate (the equivalent of four slices of bread), 20-30 grams of fat and at least four teaspoons of sugar, it is safe to say that there is nothing healthy about banana bread except the bananas, and it should really just be called banana cake.
LOLLIES
It does not matter if they are "natural" or "fruit" flavoured, lollies are basically pure sugar. Five to six individual lollies contain as much as three to six teaspoons of sugar. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a sweet treat occasionally but who can stop at just five or six. If you are looking for a sweet hit, a few squares of dark chocolate is a much better option nutritionally.
CHOCOLATE NUT SPREAD
Popular in Europe, chocolate nut spreads are frequently present on Italian dessert menus but here we are encouraged to spread them on toast instead of jam or peanut butter. With the first few ingredients listed as sugar and vegetable oil, chocolate spread contains a lot more bad fat than it does good fat from nuts.
FRUIT BARS
There is a massive difference between a piece of fresh fruit, with all the nutrients and fibre it contains, and the compressed mix of fruit, sugar, gums and flavours that make up a fruit stick or strap. Not only are processed fruit snacks a nightmare for the teeth, they are also far more concentrated in energy than fruit itself. Eat your fruit the way nature intended it, not from a packet.
DOUGHNUTS
One of the relatively few foods that still contains a significant dose of trans fats, the type of fat that has been directly linked to heart disease, doughnuts are one of the worst baked goods nutritionally. Topped with high sugar icing and loads of fat, the average doughnut will set you back at least 400 calories and 20 grams of total fat, 10 of which are saturated.
RICE SNACKS
It doesn't matter if rice has been made into a snack bar, cake, puff or crisp, rice is a dense source of high glycaemic index carbohydrate, which means that blood glucose levels rapidly increase after it is consumed, along with the hormone insulin, which promotes fat storage in the body. Rice snacks are also low in protein and other key nutrients. They simply offer "empty calories" along with a rapid rise in blood glucose levels rather than long lasting energy. Better snack options when it comes to blood glucose control include corn- or rye-based cakes and crackers.
CHEESE-FLAVOURED SNACKS
While you can find plain potato chips cooked in sunflower oil, cheese-flavoured snacks can be pretty nasty - packed with fat, flavours, colours and even MSG, the ingredient list itself explains why it is difficult to stop eating once you start but also why a plain potato chip cooked in sunflower oil is many times better than any extruded cheese snack.
MARGARINE
Spreads are a controversial food topic among nutrition professionals as the recommended switch from butter to margarine originally came from evidence that plant-based oils were better for the heart than animal-based fat. While this is true, nutritionists will generally recommend foods that are as natural as possible and when it comes to margarine it is an added fat that we do not "need" in our diet. In general, we get plenty of good fat from avocados, nuts, good quality oils, seeds already. If you do choose to use a spread, at least look for a reduced fat variety.
