#912 - Brigham Buhler - Ex-Pharma Rep: Why American Healthcare Is So Broken

So they just don't go look. And the reason we're on a GLP-1 shortage here in America is because Eli Lilly's American facility got shut down because of a whistleblower. And so big pharmas out there trying to scare people away from companies like, you know, all of these telemedicine companies, all these compounding pharmacies and tell people these are dangerous. These are unsafe. No.

It is no more dangerous than what you're doing. And in fact, I would argue what Big Pharma's doing is astronomically more dangerous because they don't have the checks and balances and they have the lobbying power. What happened with the Eli Lilly thing? Eli Lilly ended up getting hammered at one of their facilities. They came in and there were barefoot people in the sterile rooms.

They literally had destroyed records. Their efficacy data wasn't correct. I mean, there's a book called Bottle of Lies where this investigative journalist goes over to India with the FDA just to follow them. And they're literally burning records. Not Lilly, but a big pharmaceutical company was literally burning records. And we can go back in history to the long sordid, jaded history of big pharma.

A lot of people talk about Monsanto when we were talking about food. You know, Bayer Monsanto are the same company, right? They're owned by the same holding company. So Bayer that produces drugs, and Monsanto are sister corporations, and Monsanto produces chemicals that create cancer, Bayer sells cancer drugs.

But before that, Bayer sold hemophilia drugs, and they knowingly infected people with HIV in the late 80s, early 90s when it was a death sentence. So they cross-contaminated a hemophilia drug with HIV. They could destroy the batch and lose revenue for that quarter, or they could ship it into the marketplace and risk infecting patients with HIV. What do you think they did?

And they got sued by all the big pharmaceutical companies for trying to provide life-saving treatments to third world countries. Finally, there was enough of a voice, overwhelming swell of angry Americans and Europeans that they had to back down. But it was two years of an obstruction mentality. How many people died?

So it's a duality that's a challenge. It's the drugs and the treatments that big pharma suppresses coming to the market. So one example would be peptides, right? GLP-1s are peptides. Why were they not on the bulks list that got banned by the FDA? Because they've been patented and monetized by big pharma. Why did BPC and these other drugs go on the naughty list? Not because they were dangerous.
