Every single new drug, it seems, that’s come out in the last 20 years, makes our health worse. Looking around at a group of Americans in any crowded place, you can see how unhealthy we are.
Compare this to a random picture of a group of non-westerners, and you see a much healthier group.
Greed has taken over our health institutions and the more money Pharma makes, the less healthy Americans seem to get.
Every now and then, when I truly can't stand my pain, I take an over-the-counter (now, it used to only be available via "prescription") drug.
One dose of the prescription drug used to be 500 mg, so a pharmacist who watched me hobble in one day took me over to the "no name" naproxin shelf. Told me the back story.
Said "Take 2 of these. Not for longer than 7 days or you'll pee blood." (1 blue tablet =220 mg.)
That was 13 years ago.
Naproxin is longer available here in Canada in "no name". Only the (more expensive) "branded version.
Hub takes 2, when diet which he abhors would have worked. Primary sai I needed 1, I said NO they are on my reaction list. Robert Yoho had already educated me about them.
I found out they reverse engineered Red Rice Yeast into a Frankenstein drug . Then I found out red rice yeast wasn’t to good either . Plus you need and your body makes its own cholesterol
I dearly apologize to everyone I ever filled a prescription for, not just statin drugs either.

You are right!
I have yet to see one single thing pharma 'dispenses' that is not a poison. Can anybody even name one non-poisonous medication?
I’ll leave it to other persons to discuss, but I will say one drug which is deadly to some, Penicillin G.

Aka "Aleve".
The same for me, 2 of the 200 mg strength of ibuprofen, 3 if it is really bad.
