your medication is watching you...

(Reuters) - Novartis AG plans to seek regulatory approval within 18 months for a pioneering tablet containing an embedded microchip, bringing the concept of "smart-pill" technology a step closer.

The initial program will use one of the Swiss firm's established drugs taken by transplant patients to avoid organ rejection. But Trevor Mundel, global head of development, believes the concept can be applied to many other pills.

The biotech start-up's ingestible chips are activated by stomach acid and send information to a small patch worn on the patient's skin, which can transmit data to a smartphone or send it over the Internet to a doctor.

A technology that ensures a patient takes his or her medicine and checks that it is working properly should deliver better outcomes and justify a higher price tag.

3. It's not "nonsense" .You trying to derail the thread?

I want to keep my cognitive freedom ,for I value my free mind,like my inner locus of control and maintaining my own integrity..And all the new surveillance shit annoys me.

The problem is, the subway cat needs surveilled.  Closely.

6. Your inner locus of control is not being threatened. 

Please step back from the internet.

Nobody is forcing you to take the pill, wear the patch that talks to the pill, or install the app on your cellphone that talks to he patch that talks to the pill.

9. No one is threatening me personally .I am noting a TREND.

A trend that could rob a person of all those things I listed in my OP.Do not ignore the fact Others have been forced against their will to be chipped, shocked or drugged..

I know this Dr.Shamoo..He is a dedicated person.He is very kind.I know him because he fought blue cross in a class action suit,alot of people were involved in that including my mom and I.I teased him about his name.He teased me about my mowhawked hair.

Professor Adil E. Shamoo of the University of Maryland and the organization Citizens for Responsible Care and Research sends a written testimony on the unethical use of veterans in medical research to the U.S. Senate's Committee on Governmental Affairs, stating: "This type of research is on-going nationwide in medical centers and VA hospitals supported by tens of millions of dollars of taxpayers money. These experiments are high risk and are abusive, causing not only physical and psychic harm to the most vulnerable groups but also degrading our society’s system of basic human values. Probably tens of thousands of patients are being subjected to such experiments" ("Testimony of Adil E. Shamoo, Ph.D.").

7. It bothers me how so many people keep thier questions and knowlege seeking only in 'approved' topics or things that do not question this toxic culture's status quo. What is so bad about seeing a dangeruos trend and SAYING something about it.

This is an experince that creeped me out..

4. Just because you're paranoid...

that doesn't mean your laxative isn't out to get you...

Could bobo not find a way to turn this into a screed about the homeless?

Yeah, that caught me off guard, that she didn't do that.

I'm not sure what to make of it--perhaps the bobbling primitive is expanding her interests?

Well, to be fair, I haven't read the original.  I bet at some point she'll find a way to do it.

As for the subway cat, wasn't she chipped when she drank the remote viewing pineapple juice?

I need to remind readers that last week, the subway cat promised her therapist that she would voluntarily check herself into that big building with small rooms with soft walls, after she got done with some other stuff.

Obviously the subway cat's still getting done with the other stuff, as she's not in that safe secure place, where she really belongs, yet.

OK Frank... I've been a little out of the loop here so if you could give me an update on it I would appreciate it. Last I heard, I think it was going to have her breasts removed in preparation for turning itself into a male... human. Did that ever happen? Is it a male... human... now? Or did they actually make her into a male panther? Is her doctor now a veternarian? (sp?)

Inquiring minds need to know!

Perky, there aren't enough minds to figure out what the hell he/she/it is trying/going to do. 

Last we heard, he.she/it was going to check into the laughing academy at the bequest of her new doctor.  Basically, UGP found a doctor that agreed he/she/it is batshit crazy and will give he/she.it all the drugs he/she/it wants.

[BlueStateSaint]

Coach, it's tough to weave the homeless into a thread, started by the batshit-crazy UGP, which concerns microchips in batshit-crazy-individuals' meds.  Give her an "E" for effort, though.

The subway cat was going to have her taxpayer-paid operation to change her from female to male about four, five, years ago.  She was all agog and excited about it, and gave a play-by-play description about the removal of her breasts.

But then the hard-pressed taxpayers of Maryland ran out of money, and the process had to stop, when the job was but halfway done.

And so the subway cat currently is, a half-done sex-change operation.

Alas, it doesn't seem as if the hard-pressed taxpayers of Maryland are willing to cough up any more dough any time soon.

Now, franksolich is a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can hope to meet, and franksolich is so humane he would vigorously and violently oppose any such thing being done to 99% of the primitives on Skins's island, as it's truly barbaric, but I think it would be good if the subway cat were permanently chained to a wall in an asylum, and the general public invited to come and view her, a dollar admission, on Sunday afternoons, as used to be done with lunatics in New England two hundred years ago.

It would be good for the subway cat, and beneficial to society in general.

[BlueStateSaint]

Ya know something, Snugs--UGP is so batshit-crazy that it'd accept the Onion News Network as a credible news source.

[JohnnyReb]

 I can't stand it any longer.....I just have to ask this question....

Does UGP have any "cognitive skills" to begin with?

17. Doctors tend to prescribe the newest meds, because that is what
   
they are told to prescribe. Pharma runs the funds most those classes doctors have to take periodically to remain current and certified. So those classes push the newest, most expensive meds, and that's what doctors learn to prescribe.

If this becomes the new trend, and it's profitable, expect it to become big and mandatory. Especially for the major classes of drugs that large groups of patients are REQUIRED to take daily. Those of us who have no choice but to take our meds or die will be the first people get forced into this. But once this is well established, the rest of you are next.

I've already heard of this. I have already been warned.

The news of this is spreading quickly through communities of people with disabilities. We are taking this very, very seriously. You should too.

Have you been paying attention to the Pharma industry in the past few decades? Do you need any more proof that they will do whatever it takes to force us to be consumers, force us to be compliant, and force a profit out of all of us on their terms? We don't have the choice to dictate terms to them. We don't have that authority. They control the rules making process, and they control the rules makers. They also control the supply of meds we depend upon to survive. So they will dictate and we will comply. If they dictate the use of this new technology, this Will Happen.

Are you looking forward to having to wear a patch for every single prescription you get so that they can record your drug taking schedule in a database?

I take 9 meds... Can you imagine having to wear 9 different patches at all times? I wear 1 patch now, a pain patch.

Multiple patches would Seriously interfere with your ability to move freely, your comfort, your ability to sleep, your ability to wear soft clothing without catching and sticking, and your ability to enjoy your use of your body because of the physical distraction from those patches and the fear of accidentally moving the wrong way and pulling one off. If they accidentally come off once, of course, the adhesive is ruined and they have to be taped back on with cumbersome surgical tape, making them even worse.

How can you advocate for complete government run health care one day and post this paranoid stuff the next? 

If this is all technically possible, do you really want all all the power concentrated in the government?

Terry, the stupid runs rampant on that forum.

Thanks Frank!

In days gone by she would have been in one of those traveling freak shows and would probably have been the star attraction.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she wants to be a "gay male". 

Atracted to men, but does not want to be a woman. Actually wants to be a gay man.

 

[Boudicca]

Yeah, that caught me off guard, that she didn't do that.

I'm not sure what to make of it--perhaps the bobbling primitive is expanding her interests?

Nah, bobbo hangs tight with a few posters on Skinner's Asylum for Dummies, including ugp.  You can frequently count on bobbo popping up in a ugp thread to offer moral support, or vice versa.  UGP seems to be the one poster bobbo doesn't lecture about poverty, perhaps out of sympathy for ugp's rather unique set of problems.

I think you are correct.  Strange doesn't even begin to describe the subway kitty.

[diesel driver]

I think you are correct.  Strange doesn't even begin to describe the subway kitty.

One look at any of her pictures would confirm that many times over.

If you haven't seen them, they can best be described as a "one-person circus side/freak show".

[delilahmused]

I'm still trying to figure out what her inner locus has to do with anything.
