Thank you, thank you, thank you for your post. You said it all.

NP: some smart people still here on FR!

Thankfully there are, but sadly, fewer and fewer now, than in years past. :-(

Now we have a bunch of propagndized and brain washed babblers who post a lot, but what they post is mostly NOT factual at all.

Medicine isn’t perfect by any means. And I am happy for people who don’t have to take it, or can find natural alternatives.

For example, I have been trying melatonin, but it only provides some help.

I don’t advocate taking the profit motive out of medicines. If anything, I believe there should be more minimized, streamlined and effective regulation than the FDA provides, coupled with tort reform.

Everywhere the profit motive has been leveraged, it has been effective. And every time we have the government taking the lead role, it is a boondoggle.

I am all for a better middle ground on all this, but I think people who have it out for “Big Pharma” are simply not thinking it through.
