Drug Prices Skyrocket: How a Drug Went From $50 to $28,000 a Vial

Reprinted with permission from Freedom Times: Continuous feedback on Humanities Evolutionary Progress under an economic system that slowly strangles LIFE

Ever wonder why in a world of exploding population numbers with exponentially increasing survival and consumer needs, a whole world economy can crash and then continuously decline sideways and downward, deeper in debt?

Drug Prices Skyrocket: How a Drug Went From $50 to $28,000 a Vial

Ever wonder where the thoughts depicted in protest signs below come from?

GLOBAL CORPORATE BLOOD SUCKERS

Ever wonder why the E=MC2 concept has remained stagnant in the cradle it was born in , for over 100 years, with only a crude and lethal access to atomic energies. Has no one considered there may be numerous other safe means of access besides the primitive methods currently in use? The potential for Unlimited energy application was possible since the late 1940's, to erase global warming, poverty, and bring back an economy FOR LIFE.

Who would want to keep humanity so stupid, and even pay them (in wages) to support a self strangulating global corporate system? EBITDA for the Investors???

Prices for drugs skyrocket

Questcor Finds Profits, at $28,000 a Vial. How a Drug went from $50 to $28,000 a Vial

Drug companies are quietly pushing through price hikes of 100% — or even more than 1,000%.Questcor Pharmaceuticals last August raised the wholesale price on Acthar, which treats spasms in babies, from about $1,650 a vial to more than $23,000.

The Federal Trade Commission was asked in April to investigate Ovation Pharmaceuticals, which raised prices on four drugs in 2006 by up to 3,437%. Ovation raised the cost of Cosmegen, which treats a type of tumor, from $16.79 to $593.75 in January 2006.

The number of brand-name drugs with increases of 100% or more could double this year from four years ago, researchers from the University of Minnesota say. Many of the drugs are older products that treat fairly rare, but often serious or even life-threatening, conditions.

Kymatica presents some insights to those studying obstacles to intelligence, wisdom, understanding and human evolution, that go beyond the contemporary speculations surrounding the "rise & fall of civilizations" cycles of repetition.

Nothing can blind intelligent life so thoroughly to perpetuate and support the destruction of life, but for the stagnation in the science of ENERGY evolution, over 100 years stale in the concept of E=MC2.

Let us choose Between an Economy for Life, or the Dragon Eating its Own Tail.

A United Front Creating:

The Energy and Economy Paradigm Shift

Poverty is not a game to be played forever. The complete eradication of poverty was possible in mid-20th century. With 21st century science, it defies intelligence why poverty still exists. Our stagnant views of Energy and the Economy require a dramatic UPGRADE.

The following links present an excellent synopsis of the issues and solutions that we all must address. The “need to know”, the “right to know” remains the most basic, fundamental right of FREEDOM and SURVIVAL.

Fundamental Evolutionary Processes

(T. Troward): "So careful of the type it seems, So careless of the single life", a maxim rises from esoteric realms. Intelligence works by the law of averages which provide a wide margin of accident and failure to the individual. The progress toward higher intelligence is always in the direction of narrowing down this margin of accident and taking the individual more and more out of the law of averages, and substituting the law of individual selection, survival of the fittest. It may, therefore be taken as an established fact that in proportion as intelligence advances the individual ceases to be subject to a mere law of averages and has a continually increasing power of controlling the conditions of his own survival."

Statistically, this period of evolution is now almost entirely under the control of conscious human intent and will, and far less influenced by unconscious instinct, genetic mutation and natural selection. Conscious intelligence through human intent usurped unconscious instinct, genetic mutation and natural selection as the evolutionary driver somewhere back in caveman days. Science and Technology, Humanity's extended senses, are at the Steering Wheel today. Blind Science and Technology with Corporate secrecy, power, greed and lies, and Humanity can kiss it's x#s goodbye.

Does the Future have a chance?

As common sense in science is lost with the continued stagnation of our energy base and deep troubling theoretical foundational issues in physics, so too, Civilization's Survival Parameters fly out of sight, out of mind, along with the values and morals inherent within new scientific understanding which new energy systems would reveal. Scientific Stagnation bodes an ill wind to evolution, sustainability, and survival as "cycles of humiliation, dumbing us down, violence & resource wars" join hands with global warming and ecological imbalance to precipitate the historical "rise and fall" - a Tsunami accelerating toward us with a far more spectacular event than the legends and myths of 'Atlantis and Lemuria"........ had more people known that Energy from Corn (or going backwards to a dimwitted concept of radioactive nuclear power application ) sounded a wee bit kindergartenish and senile for the twenty first century......the Future may have had a chance.
