The retail mark-up for otc and prescription drugs could explain the need for “prescriptions only” insurance programs that appear to offer great savings to consumers; with low monthly payments, patients receive substantial monetary saving when purchasing medicines that “treat” disease.
Akin to treating the symptoms, is the illusion of health created when our ability to think naturally is numbed; re-programmed to feel better about buying overpriced drugs that keep us dependant while treating a disease until we die … probably from side-effects.
However, numbing the symptoms of a disease that requires decades of “treatment” generates a price none can afford. The side-effects of treating symptoms instead of focusing on the cause and cure of disease are financially and physically killing us! During my research, NOT one otc or prescription drug has less than 3 side effects.

Someone is listening! Thank you Anonymous for visiting http://TheHealthAlert.blogspot.com/ and taking time to comment. How right you are! The drug manufacture’s goal is to assure the public remain addicted [asleep] to over-the-counter and prescription drugs. There are Tonic Herbs for every ailment, disease and sickness known to and made by humans, AIDS included. God created Tonic Herbs before forming man. http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7765698910250667592#editor/target=post;postID=8036563362484284825;onPublishedMenu=overview;onClosedMenu=overview;postNum=35;src=postname
DeleteDr. William Osler, (1849-1919):
1) Far too large a section of the treatment of disease is today controlled by the big manufacturing pharmacists...
2) The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
3) One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
4) We take into our bodies that which we know little about, drugs that we know less about, to treat diseases we know nothing about. http://www.medicalarchives.jhmi.edu/osler/osler150.htm
What would Dr. Osler say about the litany of side-effects associated with over-the-counter and prescription medicines; about treating side effects; and about the frequency and ease with which doctors over-prescribe synthetic drugs? http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7765698910250667592#editor/target=post;postID=2122553689262238523;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname
