DRUG COMPANIES

"Almost everybody (except investors) loves to hate the drug companies. Drugs cost too much, drug company profits are obscene, and it seems that every few months some drug once claimed to be safe is yanked off the shelf after patients die. It's little wonder that the drug industry is looked upon with suspicion. But some proponents of "alternative medicine" believe that drug companies actually conspire to keep people sick to reap profits. For example, Kevin Trudeau (bestselling author of "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About") claims that important medical information is being kept hidden by a conspiracy between the medical establishment and big drug companies. According to Trudeau, "There are certain groups, including... the drug industry... that don't want people to know about cures for diseases..." Actress and model Jenny McCarthy appeared recently on "Larry King Live," accusing doctors and the pharmaceutical industry of conspiring to suppress evidence of a link between childhood vaccines and autism." I pulled that off of some website. I had heard about this prior to now also. And according to the conspiracy, the drug companies make drugs to fix problems temporarily, but not permanently, because how else would they get money if everyone was immune to the sicknesses that their drugs "prevent". I understand this completely and on a certain level, agree with what is being said. What about you guys?

  3. These companies have all the cures for everything. It's just more profitable for people to get sick and (slowly) die.
