Why the Government Wants You Sick: The Politics of Big Pharma and Fake Health
The United States spends more on healthcare than any nation in the world — nearly $4.5 trillion a year, over 18% of GDP. Yet somehow, Americans are fatter, sicker, and more medicated than ever. Why? Because keeping you sick is not a failure of the system. It is the system.
Big Pharma doesn’t make money when you’re healthy. Government doesn’t gain control when you’re self-sufficient. The entire machine thrives on dependency — on you needing another refill, another shot, another pill.
And the ugly truth is this: the people in charge don’t actually want you to get better. They want you medicated, pacified, and profitable.
The Business Model of Sickness
Pharmaceutical companies operate on one simple model: chronic disease equals recurring revenue.
Unlike a supplement, lifestyle change, or surgery that might address the root cause of a condition, prescriptions are designed to be taken for life. If you have high cholesterol, you’re on statins until the day you die. If you’ve got heartburn, you’re swallowing proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) every morning. Depression? Anxiety? Take a daily antidepressant or anti-anxiety med forever.
There’s no incentive to cure. In fact, a cure is the worst possible outcome for shareholders. Imagine if a company announced a pill that truly reversed Type 2 diabetes. The stock would collapse. Why? Because millions of customers would suddenly vanish from the market.
Meanwhile, the government — through Medicare, Medicaid, and endless subsidies — makes sure the money flows. Taxpayer dollars prop up the industry, from research grants to insurance reimbursements. It’s a loop: you pay taxes, your taxes fund Pharma, Pharma funds politicians, and politicians protect Pharma.
The FDA: Not a Watchdog, a Gatekeeper
People like to imagine the Food and Drug Administration is there to “protect” them. In reality, it’s a bouncer at the club door, making sure only the paying customers (Big Pharma) get in.
NAC: A Case Study in Control
Take NAC (N-acetyl cysteine), a supplement that’s been sold for decades. Research shows it supports the liver, boosts glutathione, and helps people recover from oxidative stress. In hospitals, it’s literally used to save lives after Tylenol overdoses.
Yet in 2020, the FDA suddenly decided NAC didn’t belong on the supplement shelf anymore. Why? Because companies were developing new drugs that would compete with it. If NAC remained an easy-to-buy supplement, why would anyone pay thousands for a prescription?
But here’s the twist: their move failed. After industry lawsuits and public backlash, the FDA backtracked in 2022, saying it would exercise “enforcement discretion.” Translation: they couldn’t pull NAC off the shelves without looking corrupt, so they quietly allowed it to remain on the market. Amazon even reversed its NAC ban and put the supplement back up for sale.
That’s the pattern. They didn’t retreat because they were wrong. They retreated because they got caught.
And this isn’t about NAC alone. It’s about setting precedent. If they can yank a decades-old supplement for no good reason, they can do it again whenever profits are threatened.
Follow the Money: Statins, PPIs, and the Prescription Scam
1. Statins
Statins are prescribed to lower cholesterol. But they don’t just lower cholesterol — they also deplete your body’s CoQ10, a nutrient vital for heart function and energy. Millions of people on statins end up fatigued, weak, and dealing with muscle pain.
Does Big Pharma rush to tell patients to supplement with CoQ10? Of course not. Instead, they sell you more prescriptions to “treat” the fatigue, pain, or heart problems that statins themselves created.
It’s the perfect scam: one drug creates a deficiency, then you’re sold another to patch over the symptoms.
2. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
Drugs like Prilosec, Nexium, and Protonix were marketed as miracle fixes for heartburn. What doctors didn’t tell patients is that long-term PPI use blocks absorption of key vitamins and minerals: magnesium, vitamin B12, iron, and calcium.
The result? Weak hearts, fragile bones, chronic fatigue — the exact same conditions that keep people going back to doctors for more drugs.
I don’t need to tell you how profitable that cycle is. Instead of one pill, you’re on five. Instead of one co-pay, you’ve got a list a mile long.
That isn’t healthcare. It’s a subscription model — you’re the customer, and the product is your sickness.
The Political Theater of “Health”
It’s not just Pharma. The government runs cover for this racket.
Think about the last few years. Politicians and bureaucrats lectured Americans about “health equity” while pushing junk food as essential, closing gyms, and arresting people for going outside. Meanwhile, billion-dollar fast food chains were allowed to keep their drive-thrus running 24/7.
You were told to “trust the science” — but the “science” was written by lobbyists, funded by drug companies, and rubber-stamped by bureaucrats who end up with cushy jobs in the very same corporations they were supposed to regulate.
It’s a revolving door: FDA officials leave and join pharmaceutical boards. Pharma executives leave and take jobs in government agencies. Everyone cashes out, and the public is left holding the bag.
And when ordinary Americans suggest simple things like vitamin D for immune health, or NAC for oxidative stress? They’re mocked, censored, and called conspiracy theorists. Why? Because there’s no money in cheap, natural health.
The Marketing Machine
Big Pharma doesn’t just buy politicians. It buys culture.
Turn on the TV. Every other commercial is a drug ad. A pill for depression, a shot for arthritis, an injection for weight loss. The U.S. and New Zealand are the only two countries on Earth where direct-to-consumer drug advertising is legal. Coincidence? Of course not.
Drug companies spend billions creating catchy ads with smiling actors walking in the park while a voiceover speeds through side effects like “may cause suicidal thoughts, stroke, heart failure, or death.”
And guess what? It works. Patients walk into doctors’ offices demanding the latest drug they saw on TV. Doctors, under pressure and often bribed with perks, write the prescription.
It’s not medicine. It’s Madison Avenue with a white coat.
The Real Threat: Independence
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already seen through the charade. You know the system is designed to keep you hooked, not healed. And that’s why the biggest threat to Big Pharma and the government is independence.
- You understand your health.
- You research your options.
- You take supplements and nutrition seriously.
- You question the “official” narrative.
And that’s exactly what they fear. Because an independent, healthy population doesn’t need their pills, their programs, or their propaganda.
Why Supplements Get Targeted
Here’s the dirty secret: most supplements can’t be patented.
That means no monopoly pricing, no billion-dollar revenue streams, no endless refills. And so every time a supplement starts to gain traction, Pharma either:
- Tries to ban it (like NAC).
- Claims it’s dangerous (remember the hysteria about ephedra?).
- Patents a synthetic version and sells it back to you at 1,000 times the cost.
They can’t compete with nature, so they try to outlaw it, regulate it, or warp it into something they can own.
The Bottom Line
The government wants you sick. Big Pharma wants you dependent. The media wants you distracted. And the culture wants you fat, weak, and too tired to fight back.
That’s not paranoia. It’s business. Follow the money and it’s all there in black and white.
Which is why people are waking up. They’re starting to take their health into their own hands. They’re researching, supplementing, and building independence outside the system.
