There's a pervasive (but false) idea in western medicine that the more pharmaceuticals you take, the healthier you'll get. That's how pharmaceuticals are marketed, in fact: Take these pills if you want to be healthier!If you take one pill, the ads claim, you'll have a healthy heart. Another pill gives you healthy moods. Yet another pill claims to give you healthy bones... or pancreas function... or blood pressure.. or even a day-long erection. If you believe all this, it stands to reason that the more chemical pills you take, the healthier you'll become, right?
But hold on a second. Think of the people you know who are taking five, ten or even over a dozen medications. Are they the healthiest people you know?
Probably not. Not by a long shot. In fact, if you really look closely at this issue, you'll find that the more pharmaceuticals you take, the WORSE your health becomes.

Very Sad. The American consumer has become a Medical experiment and a huge profit center for the Pharmaceutical companies.
When people whistle blow they and their families become targeted victims of abuse.
It was a relief to see a Judge put a restraining order against Pfizer and the Private Detective who threatened a family because the husband was testifying.
This industry is acting like the Nazi regime.
That guy said it right!
When there are natural alternatives, say no to Big Pharma's dangerous medications and look to foods, nutrients, herbal remedies and informed lifestyle choices to take care of your health instead.
Big Pharma is all about Big $$$.
Stop playing pinball with your life!
We all need to be our own experts and in the sharing of knowledge. Many experts, how be it not all, have been lying to the American people far too long and generating wealthy life styles in so doing.
Thanks for the key words, Thelma and Jay..."Big $$$" and "wealthy lifestyles."

Think no more... that's your answer!!!
It's also easier for the doctor to give you a pill than to spend time with you to find out what's really wrong.
One drug treats a symptom but then causes another symptom -- and another pill. And so on.
