Health think-tank calls for unorthodox measures to cut drugs bill

DutchNews, November 10, 2017

The Dutch government should take unorthodox measures if pharmaceutical firms are not prepared to ask a ‘socially acceptable price for their products in negotiations’, according to the government-backed Council for Health and Society. 

The council, which looks at the relationship between the public health sector and society, said in a new report that if pharmaceutical firms don’t cut their prices, ‘the authorities will have to make use of the options that national and international regulations offer for making the medicine available for patients.’ 

These include allowing individual pharmacies to make the drugs themselves, allowing patients to order medicines themselves via the internet on a doctor’s prescription and giving other firms licences to produce the drugs. 

Enforcing socially acceptable pricing will, the council says, encourage the commercial sector to develop medicines better, faster and more cheaply. They will also be forced take more account of failures in the development of new medicines.

‘The high prices are partially the consequence of an inefficient development process. The costs of failures are set off against the price of the medication that does reach the market,’ said chairwoman Pauline Meurs. 

Limited powers 

‘Another factor is the market power of the pharmaceutical companies and the limited counterweight provided by government, hospitals and health insurers.’ 

Health technology professor Carin Uyl-de Groot told the Volkskrant on Friday that she backs the idea of awarding licences to other drugs firms. ‘I think that the patient’s right to healthcare is more important than the pharmaceutical company’s patent rights,’ she said. 

Last month, former health minister Edith Schippers refused to include the drug Orkambi in the basic healthcare package after failing to reach a deal on price with its maker Vertex. The drug costs some €170,000 per patient per year. 

However,  Schippers said several days later she had  managed to strike a deal with Vertex – the details of which remain confidential – and the drug has been included in the basic package from November 1.

 "The Addictive Old Energy" + "Timing", US (3), August 12-13, 2017 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) (Text version) - New

" .....  Is He Alone? How About You?

What kind of addiction does the old energy have for you? Are you continuing to do things that you think are absolutely correct, working with perceptions that have been given to you in an old energy that you are still wallowing in? Of course, reading this you will say, "Not me." Remember the Korean leader. He still thinks he is right and never saw it. How invested in struggle are you? I have some news. You can't do it for long. First, you lose friends. You can't claim to be one thing and be another anymore.

So let's start extending this teaching. If the darkness is so attractive, is it affecting anything else? The answer? It is absolutely affecting everything else. There's an entire industry we have told you about that will eventually fail because it has been developed in an older energy, worked in an older energy, and has no integrity. The industry is Big Pharma. We've told you that its fall is imminent and the attributes will come from the ones within it, who will expose it. When this actually happens is up to you, since this is free choice of the developing consciousness of your country. However, let's look for a moment, not at the event, but what it may then lead to.

Big Pharma is invested in an old idea that designer chemistry is the answer to healing. This idea has been prevalent for decades and many feel that it is the highest technology available. However, instead, and in the light, there starts to appear another idea entirely: The Human body has an unrealized awareness and it is actually the master healer! The Human body is designed to self-correct. So, therefore, don't put foreign chemistry into it, but instead find out how to give it elegant, specific instruction sets to heal itself. Make them high-technology instruction sets to inform it to heal itself!

This is homeopathy expanded, you might say. There are processes coming that understand that this Human body of yours is so much better than any chemist has ever realized, and the new energy is starting to expose this fact. The answer to healing is not chemistry. The answer to health and healing is by addressing the "smart part" of the Human body, giving it instructions to utilize former unknown systems that are ready to create spontaneous remission and beyond.

Remember my channelling given on the "youthing template" or the fact that you all have dormant "genesis cells" within your body (cells that have the full body blueprint and a source for very young stem cells)? These both were expositions of systems that are smart and ready to create new cells and healing in ways that will seem miraculous! But they need to be "instructed". 

Funding Will Trail for Awhile

How much money do you think is invested in the old ways? Right now, there is an industry of investment that is going to fail. So, do you think all this money will then be invested into the new methods? The answer is NO, not right away. Just like the North Korean leader's blindness, the old ways are just too addicting. "Keep it the same," they will yell. "The fall is temporary," they will say. "It always worked before, and it always will." Many investors will lose fortunes. The dysfunction is already being seen clearly. When you turn on your media at night, much of what you hear in the commercial breaks is how the chemistry didn't work! Now you get a chance to join others and sue the pharma companies for bad chemistry! You think something is beginning to break? It is. You see, they are already wallowing in something that's going to make them fail. They are advertising how broken the very system is. Both big pharma and their investors don't see the light coming yet, even though it is becoming dysfunctional before their eyes.

Major Medicine Has the Same Addiction

Think about those who have studied medicine. They study for years and years, then they take oaths that say, "Do no harm." They become fine physicians doing their very best to help humanity. Then along comes an amazing non-standard healing revelation, but it doesn't suit them because it was not what they were taught would work. In fact, many of them were told during their training that it doesn't work at all! In an older paradigm, their medical education, taught by instructors who they respected, informed them that homeopathy and all that it represented wasn't science at all. Many will still believe this, even with overwhelming new evidence that there are things they simply didn't know back then. So, expect many doctors to also reject new provable science! The reason is because they are wallowing in their addiction to what they thought was accurate and what they thought worked. It's almost a betrayal for them to even examine it! It's a betrayal of those very good teachers who told them something completely different.

Younger doctors and researchers will come along and say, "Look, I can prove this new approach to you. Just look at this, look at this proof we have. Take a day with me and look at this amazing proof!" Many physicians will say, "No thanks." Younger researchers will say, "Why not? It won't hurt you to see it!" And they'll say, "Because I don't believe it." This scenario doesn't even make sense, but it represents how addicting the old energy is. Watch for it, even within your own physicians. Human nature says that if it worked before, it's going to work again. "This is what I understand. This is what I do. Don't show me anything new because I was taught that what you have simply cannot work."

Dear ones, physics and biology discoveries will change everything, and suddenly the sun comes out [a metaphor]. Suddenly, there are new ideas. Can you imagine telling some of the greatest inventors in history to cease and desist? Could you tell the Wright brothers they were crazy? Two bicycle makers should stop trying to create powered flight? Should someone have told Louis Pasteur to stop believing in "germs"? How stupid can you be - invisible microorganisms? It's fantasy! Can you look at Tesla and say, "That's foolishness! You're going to electrocute people with that system"? Well, there are those who actually said those very things to all of them! The doubters were invested in old paradigms that were so addicting that they actually believed them. It's the same attitude as what is coming soon. So now let's switch and make it a little more personal. ...."
