Drugs are bad, mmkay...

Imagine you sit on the board of directors for a pharmaceutical company. Your job is to get the biggest return for your investors as possible. Where would you decide to spend your R&D money... on a drug for a disease that may cost a patient $100, one time and they're cured for life? OR on a drug that controls the symptoms of said disease that they have to take for $1 per day for the rest of the patients life? It's just good business. Yes that's right... "modern medicine" is a business that's after your money, and does not have the best interest of your health in mind.

A "doctor" used to be the guy that cared for your health; hence the term "Health Care." This is no longer the case. They use crafty logic--when you tell them "this hurts", they tell you "take this pill and it won't hurt anymore." You go home, take the pill and VOILA! No more pain. That's modern medicine, right? WRONG! That's drug dealing. They gave you a pain killer, which masks the symptoms but does nothing for the actual problem. We must treat the cause, not the effects.

And speaking of effects, have you heard the list of "side-effects" that most of these drugs have? Good Heavens! I'd rather be impotent! Or bald! Or have a short attention span!

So lets be honest about the industry we are in, shall we doctors? On your best day, you're in the "Sick Care" industry. You take care of sick people. Truthfully, you're in the drug dealing industry. Like McDonalds is in the hamburger industry....right? HA! They're in the real estate business, people. They own more real estate world wide than the Catholic Church. What do they do with all the profits from their 15,000 plus locations? BUILD ANOTHER LOCATION. What do doctors do with their years of "medical" training? DISTRIBUTE MEDICINE (aka sell drugs).

Let's face it--the backbone of the US economy has relied on tobacco since day 1. Finally, we're catching up and realizing that this s**t is bad for you. BUT, alas...what shall replace this backbone? Pharmaceuticals...legal, equally or more addictive than nicotine, and 9 out of 10 doctors recommend them! Its about money. Sick.

You never thought of it that way, did you...

PS:
Wanna cringe? I heard a statistic from a few years ago (around 2000) that there are "over 500,000 prescriptions for Prozac being written each year" (if you're not cringing yet it gets better...)... "for CHILDREN UNDER TWELVE!" (commence vomiting).

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."--Thomas Edison
