The Evil Nature Of The Dialysis Industry

What view of the dialysis industry do you hold?

Do you think that this industry’s Primary Purpose for existing is to provide “Compassionate Individualized Medical Treatments” to people who have kidney failure?

If so, then you are wrong.

Just because you may not reach into your pockets and pay these centers directly for the products and services that you need to keep you alive, trust me!

Every time you receive a treatment, a surgery, a pharmaceutical or a consultation, or even if you wind up in the hospital and you contact your dialysis center to let them know that you are there; money changes hands mostly electronically, and less frequently as hard currencies.

This is the reason that they are so insistent, (with the assistance and blessings of your government)-CMMS; or your private insurer (if you are fortunate enough to have those kinds of resources), that you contact them immediately upon entering the hospital, a dentist’s office or even if you are having a surgery or procedure that has absolutely nothing to do with dialysis. It’s because once you contact them the meter starts running.

The dialysis industry is comprised of corporations with board members and stock holders whose Primary Purpose for being involved in this business, (yes this is a business-A BIG BUSINESS),is to create profits and distribute the dividends to the shareholders.

So in essence, the primary purpose of a dialysis company is to “Maximize” its Profits.

Since profit is the main purpose for the dialysis industry’s existence, sometimes Patient Safety, Patient Comfort and Patient Quality Of Life are just not that important in the scheme of things; which in far too many cases leads to detrimental or tragic results for patients.

Your illness is just a means to an end, (that end being profit).

And your health safety, comfort and victory over End Stage Renal Failure as a result of a cure, is not the reason these people do what they do.

Later in part 3, I will prove this point to you.

Another fallacy that many patients believe-is the fallacy that this industry is generally kind in nature. Once again, this fallacy is generated as a result of MASSIVE PR Campaigns, Fear, and Ignorance or of being hyper sensitive to this industry’s Indoctrination Process.

Yes! There are some very nice people who work in this industry; (I’ve met about 8 in a span of 11 years), but many of them get terminated for not keeping within the spirit of the corporation that runs the dialysis center where they work.

In other words, they are just not greedy or heartless enough to keep the profits up at any and all costs to the patients.

And due to Compartmentalization and Intensive Training by the Corporations that own these centers, some very nice people falsely believe that everything that their superiors tell them to do to their patients is what is absolutely best for them.

Those of us who are involved in the fight to reform the dialysis industry know that this is not true.

The dialysis industry uses certain formulas to Maximize Profits-sometimes to the detriment of their patients.

You see!

The bottom line for this industry is PROFIT.

Your health and wellbeing are just a small part of the Big Picture.

And because there are very few, (if any), Political, Social or Legal Organizations advocating for Stricter Regulations and Penalties for this industry’s abuses of patient’s rights; the dialysis industry is free to continue to put profits before patients.

In addition to Excessive Profits; this industry is also fueled by a deep dark intense desire for control and dominance over human beings who are already being controlled and dominated by their illness.

And they take full advantage of us because we are sick and because “There is no cure for kidney failure”, which gives them the leverage they need to mistreat, abuse, mutilate and kill people who they cannot control, (Non-Compliant), with impunity.

This Dark Reality within the dialysis industry makes it a breeding ground for Sick, Sadistic and Power Hungry Individuals who take pleasure in abusing human beings who are already sick just because they can.

Of course there is also an element of GREED at play here, which contributes to the sadistic behaviors of far too many people who own control and work in this industry, since very little of what this industry does is about what is best for the patient based on his own personal standards preferences and needs.

Their actions are based on their own set of rules, regulations policies and procedures that have nothing to do with your quantity, (and more importantly), your quality of life.

And with this industry enticing its employees with vacations, gifts and other incentives for forcing or manipulating patients into doing what the corporation wants them to do, (many times against the patient’s will), in addition to the incentives that the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid offers these companies for obtaining Unobtainable Perfect Lab Numbers all the time by any means necessary, even if it hurts the patient or makes them sick, then you may be beginning to see what you are up against if you are a dialysis patient who refuses to blindly accept any and everything that the people who control this industry wants to impose upon you.

Not because it is what you want or do not want for your body, or because it is better for you, but because it generates bigger profits for them.

This is not Compassionate, Individualized Medical Treatment…….

This is Evil!

In the next installment we will discuss the definition of “Non-Compliance” from a Clinical Perspective and then from a Human Patient’s perspective.

Attention Dialysis Patients: If you don't like what you see, feel or are experiencing at the hands of this Greedy Corporate Entity, please do your part to alert the "Powers That Be" to the fact that there is a serious problem with this industry, and how it treats its Cattle, (Patients). If you are a dialysis patient or the loved one of a dialysis patient, you are part of one of the most profitable rackets in the U.S. Only thing is, you don't profit or benefit.....They do!

Are You Non-Compliant Or Disruptive? Part 1 Of 4

Non-Compliant…..

Disruptive…..

These are 2 words that are highly popular within the dialysis industry, because it’s these 2 words that they use as Methods of Enslavement and the basis for the Death Panels formed against patients who can think for themselves, make decisions for themselves and demand that the people who work in this industry respect the very personal decisions that they make regarding what they want and do not want done to their bodies; in other words: They listen for the “Dialysis Industry Experts” to give their opinions, analysis and suggestions, and then these patients demand that they be given the final word on how they want to deal with their health, life and their death.

These 2 very vague and very broad terms are used to justify harassment, threats, abuse, (sometimes physical), using the very apparatus that they are supposed to be using to help people)-yes! the dialysis machine; against the people who refuse to allow this industry to assume total control over their bodies, minds and spirits.

These desires to control one’s own destiny as far as their life and health is concerned is also used by an industry that claims it is in business to save lives, to terminate those lifesaving treatments because a patient does not fully agree with everything that the doctor orders for their body.

Now the reason that I am so passionate about the way this industry classifies and treats these patients, (who are usually the ones who refuse to be brainwashed into total helplessness, hopelessness and who refuse to give up the faith that one day soon, they will be free from this Corporatized Medical Plantation as a result of a cure, is exactly the type of patient that I can relate to.

But before you can clearly understand how these 2 words are used and why they are used, you must first understand the “True Nature of the Dialysis Industry”.

But first you must forget the handshakes.

Forget the smiles.

Forget the hugs. And forget all the advertisements that are constantly thrown at your Unconscious Mind, featuring dialysis patients who are smiling so brightly that they appear as if they are so very thankful that their kidneys failed and that they are now forced into a position that requires a machine to keep them alive-within and industry whose Principles and Practices are suspicious to say the least.

As a matter of fact, forget everything that you have been or are being told about the virtues of the dialysis industry. If you are a member of the audience that I am attempting to reach; (Pro-Active Dialysis Patients), who believe so strongly that a cure for End Stage Renal Failure is possible that they are willing to search, work, fight and advocate for it, then you have already forgotten everything that you have been told or are being told by this industry.

Because after all! They spend millions of dollars to take this hope, dream and inspiration away from you-Not because they are fearful that this is a false hope that will lead you down a path of death and destruction, (they know that a cure is Technologically, Scientifically and Medically Possible); this is why they fight so hard to keep you from thinking, hoping and dreaming about the fact that it is.

They do this so you won’t look for one or expect it, thereby forcing you to look to them as your only options-your Lord and Savior.

But the fact of the matter is: there are people who are working on cracking the code to this disease as we speak. But there is a Constant, Vigorous, and Systematic Propaganda Campaign always in effect that keeps these efforts from reaching the General Public where they may give patients like us hope.

Only those who have enough motivation drive and ambition to do research on their own instead of listening to the people whose greatest fear is that one day you may not need them anymore.

Very little, (if any), of these efforts to find a cure for Kidney Failure can be found in the Mainstream Medical Community.

Most Mainstream Kidney Research is designed to keep people on dialysis by making easier for them to be on it-Not to get them off.

Why?

Because everybody in the Mainstream Medical Community PROFITS from our pain and suffering.

So where’s the motivation to see you get better?

There is none!

So how can we harness the power of the research that is going on in the Research Communities around the world?

By calling attention to the Deplorable Conditions that exist within the Dialysis Industry and their constant efforts to suppress the work of those who are trying to produce a cure to put an end to our pain and suffering.

And the key to doing this is knowledge that you, yourself find on your own and internalize.

But as I said in the beginning, in order to do these things, one must know the “True Nature of the Dialysis Industry”, which is what we will discuss in the next installment.

Attention Dialysis Patients: If you don't like what you see, feel or are experiencing at the hands of this Greedy Corporate Entity, please do your part to alert the "Powers That Be" to the fact that there is a problem with this industry, and how it treats its Cattle, (Patients). If you are a dialysis patient, you are part of one of the most profitable rackets in the U.S. Only thing is, you don't profit or benefit.....They do!

Stop The Madness!

The Expendables

The reason that the Dialysis Industry is allowed to continue to exist with so many deplorable conditions that go unchecked, unreported and unregulated is based on the perceived value of the Human Inventory that they hold.

You see! You don’t find too many Wall Street Executives, Bankers, Prominent Politicians or even Upper Middle Class people on dialysis.

Most of these people do not go months or years unable to obtain Healthcare that allows them to have a Primary Care Physician that constantly monitors the status of their bodies and minds.

Most of these people are not trapped in abject poverty with no, apparent end in sight or way out.

Most of these people are not driven to substance abuse, subjected to violent crimes or forced, (due to their circumstance and Generational Conditioning), to a way of life that is not enhanced by Higher Learning, exposure to the Fine Arts or Refined Culture.

Most of these people are not un- or underrepresented by the Justice, Political and Economic Systems that exist in our country which affords its Citizens Equal Protection and Opportunity under the law.

And most of these people have no comprehension of the Vicious Cycle of Helplessness and Hopelessness that leads these people into a life of Perpetual Poverty, Prison; Early Death or into a Dialysis Center.

And unfortunately-not too many of the people in the list above care, understand or give a damn about the people that are “Beneath Them”-And I don’t say that as if they are obligated to do so; because this is America-and they have the right to think, feel and behave in the manner that they desire so long as it does not violate Local, State or Federal Law.

I say this just to illustrate the Gap In Equality and Worth between these people and the people who typically wind up as Dialysis Patients.

Most of the people who wind up in the dialysis center have a completely different lifestyle, income level, level of education and chances and opportunities for advancement up the Social Ladder.

Now this is not to say that everybody who winds up on dialysis is poor, uneducated or impoverished- Were just talking about averages here, not the exceptions to the rule.

I have known and know, some very Intelligent and Highly Motivated and Accomplished Individuals on dialysis.

However, the vast majority of people who are on dialysis are (Perceived by those who aren’t), as Stupid, Uneducated, Drug Addicts, Alcoholics, Criminals, Poor People, Thugs, Gangbangers and any other category of Subhuman Being that an Elitist could imagine.

In other words, these are the kinds of people that this world would be better off without-“The Expendables”. Evidence of the Typical Demographic of dialysis patients in America can be found below in this report entitled: 2011 USRDS Annual Data Report.

The Racial Demographics in this report matches the perceptions of far too many of the people who own this industry, work in this industry and provide support services to this industry; as well as far too many of the people who are responsible for “regulating” this industry.

By race, rates for African Americans and Native Americans in 2009 were 976 and 523 per million population, respectively — 3.5 and 1.9 times greater than the rate of 277 found among whites. Since 2000, the rate of new ESRD cases has grown 7.2 percent among whites and 6.4 percent among Asians, while remaining stable in the African American population.

As in the previous two years, 13 percent of new ESRD patients in 2009 were Hispanic. The incident rate in this population continues to fall — 1.5 percent in 2009, to 501 per million population — yet remains 1.5 times greater than that seen among non-Hispanics.

With the exception of an uptick in 2006, the rate of new ESRD cases caused by diabetes has remained quite stable since 2000, and was 154 per million population in 2009. The rate of ESRD due to hypertension, in contrast, has grown 8.7 percent since 2000, to 101, while that of ESRD due to glomerulonephritis has fallen 23 percent, to 23.8.

The fact of the matter is:

There are many fine human beings who are being subjected to Cruel and Unusual Punishment and Systematic Murder under the Guise of “Good Medicine” as a result of the Dialysis Industry and the failure of the Legal Profession, the Justice System and the Political System in America to put an end to it once and for all.

And the reason that these atrocities are allowed to continue on a daily basis with millions of dialysis patients is because; if you are a dialysis patient, you are expendable.

And if we as dialysis patients continue to be silent while a Greedy, Hateful and Corrupt Industry such as the Dialysis Industry continues to murder us for profits simply because we have an illness that requires their services, then that will validate what those who are not dialysis patients think of us.

In this world, no one is willing to help those who are not willing to help themselves!

This is especially true when it comes to dialysis patients.

If you want the dialysis industry to be reformed for the benefit of the patients and not just the profits-

If you want the dialysis industry and the pharmaceutical industries that support it to stop suppressing cures-

If you want to realize a CURE for End Stage Renal Disease in your lifetime-

Then you have got to do something to bring these things into being; because “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will".

Frederick Douglass, 1857

If you are a Dialysis Patient or a Family Member or Friend of one, and this does not feel right to you; please sign the petition and help us get the ball rolling to have this industry “Thoroughly Investigated” Again!

So that we as Dialysis Patients can have Compassionate, Individualized Medical Treatment, instead of being “Herded off to Slaughter” like Cattle, for Profit.

Please Help Us Stop The Dialysis Industry From Legally Mutilating and Murdering Sick People......
