Is there a "fear" that's holding you back? What should you do about it?

Most folks haven't heard the worst of it. Did you know that the very companies that are applying for approval of a drug, are the same ones who conduct the tests that show whether it has side effects, is dangerous, etc? The shocker: they are NOT REQUIRED to submit anything negative that shows up to the FDA! So, Big Pharma has the FDA under their thumbnail, not the other way around as it should be. The FDA is a puppet, essentially, for the pharmaceutical companies to manipulate.

Doctors (and patients) get 'free' medications samples...and in exchange, the doctors 'push' Big Pharma's products even when generics at half the price are available. A high percentage of doctors are nothing more than sales reps for Big Pharma...and the patient pays the price in lost health, not to mention high prices. The cost in human lives and suffering completely over-shadows the highly-touted research that Big Pharma loves to hoot and holler about. The only things they 'research' these days, generally, are things that will boost their own bottom lines while people who could be genuinely helped with just a bit of research suffer and die because it's not cost-effective for Big Pharma.

In the meantime, highly effective, natural, and less expensive genuine cures are being withheld from people who need them. Why? So Big Pharma can come up with something they can patent (and profit from) that will do the same thing, in theory. Realistically, it's never as good as the natural products and usually have tons of dangerous side effects that the original doesn't.

That's big business for you...and absolute power corrupting absolutely anything and everything it can reach. The cost in human suffering is just an 'unfortunate consequence' in their quaint dismissive language.
