Anyone who watches television Knows that prescription drug advertisements seem to out number any other kind of advertising.
One question I keep asking myself.
If only your doctor can prescribe your medication, why target the public with all these drug advertisements.
Why does the public need to be so well informed on on all these drugs? Is the average person qualified to decide what drugs they should be taking based on television commercials? I think not.
The brilliant plan behind all these well thought out adds is simple.
People are being sold prescription drugs well before they ever set foot in the doctors office.
These adds even go so far as to tell people to ask their doctor about a specific drug! Letting the drug companies decide what drugs people should take would be like letting the tobacco industry decide if smoking is bad for your health.
Maybe just a little conflict of interest? There must be a lot of powerful people out there that disagree with this whole concept of selling prescription drugs directly to the public? The only thing that keeps this legal is the doctors writing the prescriptions! This truly is a very simple and brilliant system for making billions! Maybe the definition of the war on drugs needs a little work.
Im not saying that we should do away with prescription drugs, but at least give us the impression that your trying to help people.
It appears that profits are top priority.
The FDA says that only a drug can cure prevent or treat a disease.
Common sense says take care or yourself and avoid getting sick in the first place.
It is impossible to say that people can avoid all disease and sickness.
But to say taking good care of your health through proper nutrition and exercise has no effect on prevention is foolish! Take Quality supplements, eat healthy, Exercise.
Try to avoid ever having to take any of those commercials seriously.
