DRUG CHEMIST TURNS IN PHARMACEUTICAL "PINK SLIP" TO BEGIN PHARMACEUTICAL "SINK SHIP" CAMPAIGN

"Stinky Sulfur Awards" Poised to Raise Health Awareness

Santa Fe, NM - June 27, 2007 - Dissatisfied with the drug industry's unwillingness to acknowledgenatural medicine, Shane Ellison abandoned his career as a medicinal chemist to write Health Myths Exposed and The Hidden Truth about Cholesterol Lowering Drugs.  Turning in his "pink slip," Shane began a pharmaceutical "sink ship" campaign.  To this end, Shane is now issuing "Stinky Sulfur Awards."  He asserts that these awards will save lives.

To illustrate, Shane gives some moving examples.  Previous award recipients would have been Merck for their pain killer VioxxTM.  It was well known among scientific circles that the pain killer did more than just kill pain; it also put people at risk for heart attack and stroke.  Regardless, Merck funded a publicity campaign that positioned the "COX-2" inhibitor as the safest in the history of medicine!  Ellison feels that, "If the award existed during the dark VioxxTM era, thousands could have refused the drug and avoided premature death."

Under Ellison's glaring and capable insider microscope, no book, no product, no person is safe from the Stinky Sulfur Award. If it stinks it wins! It's controversial. It's offensive. It's fun. And it ensures that our health does not get skunked by such stink.

To date, the Stinky Sulfur Award has been issued four times.  A well-known author and University professor, a cholesterol-lowering drug pushing medical doctor turned commercial actor, and cheerleaders turned drug reps are among some of the recipients of the dubious award.

Shane is quick to assert that all of the recipients represent a real and present danger to the health of people worldwide.  If you've ever popped an aspirin, swallowed an anti-depressant drug, been diagnosed with high-cholesterol, allowed the pediatrician to stab your kids with a vaccine, feared type II diabetes or "asked your doctor if the latest erection pill was right for you," then you better pay close attention to these awards.  Visit www.thepeopleschemist.com/stinky.html

Ellison admits that not everyone is happy with the awards, especially the recipients. "While some people love the awards, others who still labor under the illusion that prescription drugs increase quality and quantity of life, oppose them," he says. But he staunchly maintains that one thing is certain. "In the face of an impending health crisis caused by the ubiquitous pharmaceutical industry, my Stinky Sulfur Awards are a potent weapon against dangerous drugs and medical policies."

Shane holds a master's degree from Northern Arizona University in organic chemistry.  He founded HealthFX Nutraceuticals (http://www.health-fx.net/) and is an internationally recognized authority on therapeutic nutrition.  Get his Life Saving Health Briefs and Real Natural Cures FREE at http://www.thepeopleschemist.com/
