unmasking drug counterfeiters: the new pirates of the seas
Bookmarked 514 weeks ago
back when south china sea was a backwater area for the western colonizers pirates plowed its waves in search of ships and towns they could maraud and plunder the notorious chinese pirate limahong became a sort of folk hero in southeast asia for having eluded the british navy for many years until he and his dastardly buccaneers sailing a fleet of junks decided to attack manila which was then under spanish rule although they failed to take over the city the pirates remained in one part of the countrys main island for almost two years before eluding the spaniards by digging a small river and escaping at night limahong was never caught and continued to bedevil the british authorities for yearspeople may have a penchant for watching and admiring the exploits of pirates however when we realize how much damage and violence they commit we awaken to the painful stabs of reality especially when we are the victims ourselves and this is the case of the new pirates wreaking havoc in asia at present drug counterfeiters these elements ply their trade by dumping their fake drugs through the pharmaceutical chains and have amassed a significant number of customers endangering the legitimate drug industry as well as the health of millions of peopleunder us law counterfeit drugs are those being those sold using a product name exclusive of authorization counterfeit drugs can involve either fake generic products or imitating brand names such that the original brand or name is intentionally mislabeled or new ones are made to appear like the original products moreover fake drugs can also include products lacking or having inadequate amount of active ingredient with the incorrect active ingredient or with false packagingthe extent of the plague of drug piracy is difficult to determine particularly in the developing nations where legal and economic controls are less stringent world health organization recognizes this dilemma and works hard at coordinating with its constituencies to minimize or eliminate the effect this problem has on the general health of the worlds population the peterson group joins in this fight against fake drugs it has estimated that the global sales of fake drugs adds up to 75 billion annually that is a staggering figure considering that in a city for instance that has about 10 million residents every person could be spending 75 annually if that city had only 1 share of that global figure and that is pretty much what every individual spends on vitamins or other common medications on a daily basis -- 20 cents on the average that is roughly the price of one multi-vitamin tablet that every ordinary person can afford to buy to provide minimum maintenance for a healthy body and if the chances of any person getting a fake drug at the counter is 7 out of 10 then the chances of that person keeping a healthy body is greatly reducedif the extent of the fake drugs industry is so widespread this tells us at least two things namely:1 that a majority of people in asia and in many parts of the world are not getting the right medication they need not to mention the right kind of food that they eat2 that this counterfeit drug industry could be an operation that enjoys some kind of protection from illegitimate andor legitimate authorities if drugs can be faked so with official documents as in many instances of crime corruption is at the roots end the peterson group a non-profit organization helps to make people and governments aware of this creeping worldwide problem operating in asia particularly hong kong indonesia jakarta and malaysia the peterson group is strategically located to monitor the flow of this contraband and its effects on the welfare of people for it has committed itself to preventing the illegal drug smugglers in asia
