Episode 1: The Cancer Pandemic<br />

Webster Kehr: And <strong>the</strong>y’re trained to sell drugs.<br />

Dr. Irvin Sahni: The system is designed to create product disease.<br />

There’s no money in being healthy. There’s no money in being dead. All<br />

<strong>the</strong> money is in being chronically ill. And so <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong> remuneration<br />

works for physicians even with Medicare is that it encourages more<br />

drugs to be written, switch from one drug to <strong>the</strong> next. So by design I feel<br />

like <strong>the</strong> system is flawed. And that’s, you know, and who do you think is<br />

paying <strong>the</strong> congress people, you know, money for <strong>the</strong>ir next election<br />

campaign, some small town doctor who’s trying to educate people on<br />

how to lose weight or Pfizer or Merck And I’m not picking on any<br />

specific company here. But it’s just simply true. That’s where <strong>the</strong> money<br />

comes from.<br />

And that’s why—that’s how <strong>the</strong>se jobs are created and billions of dollars<br />

are paid out to different individuals and, of course, you know my feeling<br />

on <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong> government interacts with corporations. And so that’s<br />

why <strong>the</strong> systems flawed. That’s my opinion. That’s one aspect of it that’s<br />

very easy to sink your teeth into and no one can tell me that I’m wrong<br />

because it’s true. It’s just a fact. I mean this isn’t something that’s up for<br />

discussion. This is just pure and simply a fact. No one’s interested in<br />

talking to you <strong>about</strong> losing weight. No one’s interested in talking to you<br />

<strong>about</strong> quitting smoking. We do that a little bit and <strong>the</strong>re’s actually codes<br />

for quitting smoking. There’s some little fine nuances <strong>the</strong>re but <strong>the</strong><br />

bottom line is <strong>the</strong>re’s no real incentive to promote true health and <strong>the</strong>re<br />

is an incentive to write lots of prescription medications by <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong><br />

system is designed.<br />

Ty: When you went through medical school how much nutritional<br />

training did you get<br />

Dr. Irvin Sahni: Pretty much none.<br />
