what are your thoughts on the pharmacutical industry

[Deep Dish]

Deep Dish - Wake up The Matrix has you! Do you work for the Pharma industry?? 100% of those who say, "1 in 5 people have a mental illness", are mentally ill!!

Last Man Standing, the boy of eloquent infinite wisdom...

Hidden beneath the thick layers and illusions of Western consumerism is Reality, which is only perceived and understood by an illumined few; and this reality is so cruel, so monstrous, so unbearable for the average human being, that, no matter what, people must escape it, either naturally(by denial), or articicially(by pharmaceuticals).

'Welcome to the desert of reality...'

Most will never find the courage in their hearts to confront reality, and the earth and entire humanity remain in great danger.

One thing most of you are avoiding thinking about, Deep Dish touched on...

Many of us would be dead without the meds!

I would have died at age 3 without antibiotics, due to a staph infection. I imagine that at least 25% of those who are alive today, maybe many more, would not be alive without drugs. As for the "danger" of mercury in vaccinations, how many would have died of smallpox or measles? Billions!

So now that the drugs/vaccines keep a lot of people alive, who should have died, they have other problems crop up, which need yet more drugs.

Of course we have autistic kids and people with problems... back in the year 1500 most would have died as infants and not be in our society - therefore almost zero autism or retardation, etc!

But, they are here now and need more medications.

It is a vicious cycle but I cannot hold the pharma industry at fault... society is at fault for demanding a drug to cure each affliction we have.

The problem is not the meds themselves, its doctors who prescribe unnecessary medications and procedures. These days if you go to a doctor for anything, chances are you will walk out with a prescription in your hand. That would not be a bad thing if pills didnt have side effects, but unfortunately if you treat something with medications, it always affects some other function in your body. Just look at disclaimers for prescription pills.."may cause heart attacks, diarrhea, stroke, liver failure, trouble breathing,blood clots, kidney damage, yellowing of the skin.." i would take those risks if i really needed the meds to get better, but if 2 days of extra bed rest will have the same effect i'm not taking it.
