Big pharmaceuticals now take in over $1 trillion worldwide. Prices overall have risen over 30-40% since 2012. I don’t believe the hype that all this money needs to be paid for research and development. That’s the cover story.

Big Pharma has cronies in the FDA.

Fact is, most drugs just mask disease, not cure it. There's no money in a cured patient.
Worse, most drugs have side effects that indicate more drugs, it's a vicious circle. Both my parents died with enough leftover prescription drugs to pollute the water supply.

Are you kidding? Doctors make a FORTUNE pushing pills pharma asks them to. Vacations too.
They are DISGUSTING and SICKENING.
See how many lawsuits they lost AFTER making 10s of billions on a med and then paying a few billion in fines.
I’d take that deal.
Look at Neurontin for starters. Off label marketed for just about everything.

The Big Pharma, AMA, & FDA opposition to the so-called scams in natural modalities, including nutritional supplements, is, as always, about MONEY:
A drug is an artificial, and therefore a patentable, substance. Once patented, the Pharma has exclusive control, and can charge whatever it likes.
