Drugs

So why are prescription drugs so popular?

The only reason prescription drugs are so popular today is not because they work, but because they are extremely profitable. It's profitable for the drug companies who mark them up as much as 500,000% over the cost of the raw ingredients, it's profitable for retailers like Walgreen's who mark them up even further (and whose business relies primarily on drug profits), it's profitable for newspapers and magazines who gladly cash checks for millions of dollars in drug advertising, and it's even profitable for doctors who receive all sorts of free vacations, "consulting fees," and other not-so-subtle bribes in exchange for writing prescriptions for brand-name drugs.

The system is extremely profitable to everyone... everyone except you, that is. You suffer devastating health consequences when you participate. You get stuck with the medical debt. Your insurance rates go sky-high. And to add insult to injury, you're sicker now than before you started taking the drugs!

Our system of modern medicine is a sham, folks. It's primarily a drug racket that's dominated by Big Pharmacy. The science is largely distorted (and often outright fraudulent), the ethics have all but disappeared, and the long-term price of all this is going to be enormous. We have an unprecedented problem on our hands that's sickening an entire generation and creating stratospheric long-term health care costs for the next round of working taxpayers unlucky enough to stumble onto all this.

But don't worry: when everybody's sicker than ever, the drug companies will promise they have the next big cure. All you have to do is pop daily pills at $200 each, and all your health problems will be solved!

Dr. Tindall's personal note: My pet lab's thyroid is not working anymore or at least not very well. I took her to the Vet. who suggested we start her on a medication and wrote the script. I asked him to call it in to my local pharmacy. He called me back and said, "Doc, the pharmacy wanted $120.00 for a 30 days supply. This is the same type of drug ordered for humans. The vet said, if I would come by his clinic, he would give me a 60 day supply for $20.00. That works out for the same amount of pills to $240.00 for a human, but only $20.00 for an animal.

There is a major problem with how much profit is being made off of human ills.
