Medicine: when profit takes precedence over healing

PROBLEM:

You are an extremely profit-oriented industry whose only market place is the human body.   How can you be successful in what you do and still maintain and increase profits?

ANSWER:

1. Cure almost nothing, but instead create a system of managing illness instead of healing illness which treats symtoms with drugs that have side effects which lead to other conditions you can treat with still more drugs in a never ending cycle so that by the time an average male reaches the age of 65 they take a combination of 15 prescribed and over the counter medications daily.

2. Suppress any and all competition from natural and alternative sources which might be safer, more effective and far less expensive.

3. Use fear, massive advertising and propaganda to create new conditions which "must" be treated and new vaccines that must be administered.

4.  Endeavor to get children hooked into a lifetime of managed illness at younger and younger ages.

And then there are the payoffs and flawed studies, huge marketing and lobbying efforts, and on and on.
