... is written by Roy Kupsinel M.D., editor/publisher of "Health Consciousness" - a holistic magazine. Dr Kupsinel is founder and vice president of the "American Quack Association" a growing number of distinguished medical professionals denouncing orthodox (vivisection based) medicine... as being... scientific fraud.

NZAVS is grateful to Dr Kupsinel for his permission to publish this article (which is abridged). The full text of The Greed Disease was published in April 1987 issue of The Townsend Letter for Doctors (an informal newsletter for doctors communicating to doctors).

"The Greed Disease" is being used by Hans Ruesch in his latest book: 1000 Doctors (and many more) Against Vivisection

The first version (in German) now in print, contains one thousand such articles. The English version still to come (now available from NZAVS) will contain more. And so... the cat is out of the bag... the writing on the wall... and as more and more people learn the truth about the medical fraud of vivisection... more and more decent and intelligent doctors will decide to jump on the bandwagon... Quacks against vivisection!

The Greed Disease

There exists a conspiracy of the medical-pharmaceutical "plus" interests on an international basis to eradicate alternative health (not disease) care from the people of the world - with a total disregard for the health and life of the people. I feel that the major motivation of this potentially destructive scheme is the desire to make money and I call the condition of this utter sickness of man...

The Greed Disease.

Here in the United States I observe the conspiracy is intricately interwoven with the American Medical Association, the Federal Government, especially the Federal Trade Commission, and the United States Postal Service; Pharmaceutical Advertising Council; and to a large extent the entire media - including television networks; radio networks; newspapers; book publishers and magazines . The media domination prevents the majority of the people being conscious of these negative forces and focuses their minds, if receptive, to the propaganda that alternative health care is "quackery".

The Office of Technological Assessment reported to the Congress of the late 1970s that:-...

Only ten to twenty percent of the methods utilized in allopathic (orthodox) medicine are proven safe and effacious.
