1. News Programs Contribute To False Fear When They Blast
Online Pharmacies
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended VIPPS to consumers as "one method to
help minimize the risks of getting bad quality drugs from disreputable sources.”The NABP is
an agency set up by the very pharmacists who are most likely to lose business to Online
Pharmacies.
Currently, 39 sites or 4% (VIPPS or Vet-VIPPS accredited), out of more than 12,000 online
pharmacies, have received accreditation from NABP. “NABP recognizes that some non-
accredited internet pharmacies may be operating legitimately… Of those entities that
approve non-accredited internet pharmacies, LegitScript.com is the only one that adheres to
NABP-recognized standards.”
Let’s look at a list of nearly 8,000 Pharmacy Sites that the NABP doesn’t recommend: “Of the
sites reviewed, those currently listed as Not Recommended are characterized as follows:
·84% do not compel a suitable script
·48% offer foreign or non-FDA-approved drugs
·56% do not provide a physical address
·27% are positioned outside of the United States in Russia or India and selling drugs illegally
to patients in the US”
Are these justifiable causes for staying away from the online drug stores?
·Many lawful corporate internet sites are hosted in countries around the world including
Russia, China, and India.
·Most goods that Americans buy are manufactured in China, India, and many other parts of
the world.
·These days, many online store sites (Amazon for example) don’t provide a physical address.
·Money (point of sale) is always going to places outside the US.
This should not be a condemnation of online drug stores, since that is how business is being
conducted today by most large American corporations online.
So let’s review the current situation:
US certified internet drug stores operating in order to save the customer time and funds by
advertising (with a prescription) in compliance with the FDA, medications that are being
scrutinized and closed down by the NABP, a group of pharmacists who own brick and mortar
pharmacies-pharmacists who are losing millions of dollars in sales to these same online
pharmacies.
Here is exactly what they are trying to do:

2. ·The NABP sets up the VIPPs official approval for only 39 sites (most are internet sites for
large brick and mortar drug stores) to discriminate against the other 12,000 independent
internet sites that are not VIPPs compliant.
·LegitScript hires or asks Directi (a registrar) to close down or severely restrict the
competition (non-VIPPS online pharmacies) from even existing on the internet.
·The news media cooperates (intentionally) by creating special segments with lots of fear
mongering in order to confuse the general public, once more, about the evils of drugs coming
from an unknown source. Oh and don’t forget that pharmaceuticals corporations pay about
57 Billion Dollars annually for advertising on these same media outlets as of 2005. That’s
$57,000,000,000.00, folks!
There are only a handful of pharmaceutical companies in the world. Except for a tiny number
of illegitimate drug manufacturers, the drugs are all made by the same corporate giants.
So what is actually going on here?
I suspect it is the same power grab we’ve seen in the world of capitalism since the
beginnings of the concept. “There’s gold in them hills!” There’s money to be made in drugs
and any way that competitors can be removed from the field of opportunity is fair. allergy
