From the desk of the editor

Welcome to the first homepage edition of i2P for 2012.
In many ways it has been a slow start to the New Year because of having to deal with the “leftovers” from 2011.
One of those items for i2P was that a third-party provider to the site did not advise of a code change to the security section in our subscribe panel, creating a range of frustrated subscribers not able to get on board.
We apologise to all those potential subscribers who were unable to register with us in the second half of 2011, but if you try once more you should have no problem.

Editing and Researching news and stories about global and local Pharmacy Issues

Academic and professional bullying is not a new phenomenon - it is just not spoken about openly. Similar practices have been documented in businesses, hospitals and all school systems within Australia. Pharmacists are well used to this form of behaviour that is practised by some health professionals against them in their normal daily practice. It is used as a form of intimidation by one health professional to exert power and influence over another. We see it practiced within the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) where doctors refuse to conform to state regulations by deliberately not correctly writing schedule 8 prescriptions, or having prescription software altered illegally to permanently tick the "no substitution" box or it may simply be a belittling response to a normal professional telephone contact. Other parties such as drug manufacturers, may reinforce attitudes of some health professional groups when it suits their purpose. You see these sorts of arguments when bio-identical hormones are prescribed by one practitioner and denounced by another, using distorted references or references that are simply untrue. The following news item comes via a group of "heavy-hitter" gerontologists and it is disturbing to see how entrenched this process is and at such a high level.

Please use the comment panel attached to the following article (published by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine) to give examples that have occurred in your professional life.

"For the past fourteen years, the gerontological establishment has sought to persecute anti-aging physicians, anti-aging health practitioners, and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M; www.worldhealth.net) itself, simply because they defy the prevailing model of disease-based, drug-oriented medicine. In the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, an international scientific shocking insights into the calculated and deliberate repression of innovative thought and freedoms of choice in healthcare. The Abstract of this important paper is online, at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/"

We urge you to review this important paper, from which we excerpt Prof. Dr. Zs.-Nagy, MD's quotes as follows:

* "Complete disregard by certain individuals bearing some of the most prestigious affiliations in the gerontological establishment, for truth, academic integrity, and scientific professionalism. Instead they have waged a wanton effort to sabotage and retard a global movement of clinicians, practicing physicians on the front lines who have embraced that aging is not inevitable, and is indeed, preventable."

* "[T]he gerontological elite has instead sought to obfuscate the facts ... the reason for this is nothing less than an abject fear ... to avert their loss of control, power, prestige, and position in the multi-billion dollar industry of gerontological medicine."

* "The gerontological elite have waged a multi-million dollar campaign to influence media and exert deliberate control of public information ... selective funding of journalists aimed to deliberately misrepresent the anti-aging movement [with] public funds that were appropriated by the US National Institute of Aging."

* "[T]he gerontological elite has trumpeted meaningless public relations stunts .. mocking the anti-aging medical movement and its physician leaders. These frivolous efforts, led by non-clinicians ... were clearly mounted for personal gain ... [and] speak volumes as to the extremes of intellectual dishonesty."

* Under the influence of the misinformation campaign contrived by the gerontological elite, US Federal Statute 21 USC Sec. 333(e) "enables a witch-hunt of [anti-aging] physicians who judiciously administer hGH therapy," when instead the statute was intended to prohibit trafficking of performance enhancing substances by non-physicians, prior to the existence of the anti-aging medical movement.

Prof. Dr. Imre Zs.-Nagy, MD, a part of the gerontology movement for four decades, and founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, has courageously stepped up to speak the truth. At great professional risk, he has come forth to blow the whistle on fourteen years of censorship and repression of the science of anti-aging medicine, and advanced preventive medicine, by the gerontological establishment.

In asking "Is consensus in anti-aging medical intervention an elusive expectation or a realistic goal?," Prof. Dr. Zs.-Nagy, MD concludes that: "there has been little else as dramatic, important, beneficial, and significant as the anti-aging medical movement. ... [A]nti-aging medicine has flourished in its sixteen-year long history, garnering the support of more than 100,000 physicians and scientists worldwide who practice or research life enhancing, life extending interventions."

Dr. Ronald Klatz, MD, DO, President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M; www.worldhealth.net), observes that: "A decade-long campaign waged by the gerontological elite has severely restricted the freedoms of physicians to administer life enhancing, and potentially life saving, therapeutics such as hGH and HRT therapies. The effect of this calculated campaign has held back the advancement of clinical anti-aging and HRT research, leading to unnecessary morbidity, and, likely - mortality, for millions of people worldwide. In my opinion, this is a heinous crime against humanity. The A4M remains committed to defending the independent physician and we applaud Prof. Dr. Imre Zs.-Nagy, MD for his courage and fearless commitment to intellectual and academic honesty."

Footnote:The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine is a rapidly growing global organisation that promotes the concept of anti-ageing medicine to promote lifespan and lifestyle.

In the US it is simply known as a4m, and there is a branch in Australia called a5m.

Given that ageing populationa are rapidly expanding in all western economies, it is obvious that the ageing process has to be addressed simply to reduce the cost of illness and extend the working life of each individual - otherwise there will not be a sufficient tax base to sustain an economy.

These are serious issues that pharmacy planners need to accommodate right now.
