It’s scary the amount of people who buy the hype of the latest health/drug craze.

Yeah, this just another advertising form for the pharmaceutical cos to make themselves wealthy using people as guinea pigs. People don’t realize that pharmaceutical cos spend hundreds of millions on lobbying doctors to prescribe their medicine. A friend of mine who works in OBN/GYN office informs me that it’s nothing for pharmaceutical reps to provide breakfasts, lunches or dinners and trips for all the doctors and employees. Also, the pharmaceutical reps provide donuts every morning for the doctors and employees. What I named doesn’t even scratch the surface. But the bottom line is that the more lobbying the reps do the more the doctors write the prescriptions for that particular form of medical treatment. The pharmaceutical cos get rich for the drug or treatment and the doctor gets a kickback from the prescription written and everyone’s happy except the insurance co that has to pay or the patient that doesn’t have the insurance. It’s a racket!
