Dr. John Reizer
I’ve been writing for years about how medicine and medical laboratory testing are rigged casinos. The average American healthcare consumer goes into a doctor’s office, and one of the first things the doctor or nurse practitioner does is take the patient’s blood pressure and order lab tests.
After the blood pressure is taken and the lab test results are returned, there’s a damn good chance that the patient is going to be diagnosed with one of four conditions: pre-diabetes, diabetes, pre-hypertension, or hypertension.
In the 1970s, if a person’s fasting blood sugar was between 70 and 139 mg/dL, they were considered healthy or normal.
There was no such thing as pre-diabetes, and people weren’t unnecessarily placed on drugs to manage a nonexistent condition or asked to spend a fortune constantly monitoring their blood sugar with testing strips and other diagnostic tools.
It wasn’t until 1997 that Global Health Organizations (Big Pharma in disguise) successfully lobbied for and secured approval of a lower blood sugar threshold of 126 mg/dl, which remains in place today.
In the 1970s, Big Medicine and Big Pharma raked in around $20 billion a year from the intellectual property known as Diabetes. But this industry could make much more money if it could get more Americans diagnosed with the disease.
The solution to Big Pharma’s problem came in the form of lowering the “normal” lab levels for the disease under the guise that it was for Americans’ health benefits. By lowering what was considered a normal fasting blood sugar by 14 points, it immediately created a whole lot more patients with diabetes. This meant more people on drugs and more people who needed to buy diagnostic testing tools to monitor their diseases.
But lowering the bar by 14 points wasn’t enough for these greedy corporations. They took it a step further and decided to create an entirely new disease right out of thin air called pre-diabetes.
Today, a person is diagnosed with pre-diabetes if they have a fasting blood sugar between 100 and 125 mg/dl.
What have these two strategies done for Americans and Big Pharma? For healthcare consumers, it placed these people in a situation where they were diagnosed with conditions that don’t exist, in my opinion. For Big Pharma, it meant making $200- 900 billion/year instead of $20 billion/year.

What About Blood Pressure?
Now, let’s discuss two other huge intellectual properties: pre-hypertension and hypertension.
In the 1970s, there was no such thing as pre-hypertension. The high blood pressure threshold was anything above 160/95 mm Hg.
Can you imagine that?
A rule of thumb held that normal systolic blood pressure was 100 plus your age, with a diastolic number or reading of 95.
But Big Pharma wanted to create more hypertension patients, so guess what they did: they rigged the casino again and lowered the thresholds that triggered millions upon millions more diagnoses of the conditions in the general population.

In the early 1970s, Big Pharma hadn’t even entered the hypertension market. But they realized that another cash cow was staring them in the face:
Who do you suppose was the driving force behind the 1972 National High Blood Pressure Education Program and the landmark clinical trials? 🤣 Think Big Pharma!
A little indoctrination, I mean education, goes a long way in generating massive pharmaceutical profits, wouldn’t you say?
