Pharmaceuticals considered generally UNSAFE
"Pharmaceuticals are potentially dangerous, and should be used only in extreme circumstances; they must be ALL be considered dangerous because there is no disclosure of ANY dangers by the manufacturer"
This is the conclusion we could come to when we see how many problems people are having, all the lawsuits, all the side effects ranging in seriousness from mild to deadly.
Here is a link to info on the worst pills [below, first one]. Check it out if you are taking a prescription, if you care to know the danger you may be in [some won't want to know].
Some pills cannot be stopped suddenly, but they do not call them addictive. And it is not given as a warning when you start, its only mentioned when you try to quit!!
These are serious issues, and people have a right to know!
Having a stroke of heart attack while on Vioxx? Its not rare, and it was well known long time before they warned us. That kind of info tells us that the drug reps, who your doctor gets MOST of his information on the pills he prescribes, have NO INTENTION OF PROTECTING OUR HEALTH.
They have no concern if we live or die, thats not their job.
Their only job is to promote their drugs,and to promote off label uses of their drugs even when not approved for those uses.
Am I getting thru yet? Your health is in danger, you are in danger, if you take anything made by a pharmaceutical corporation because we only know that they do not tell us the dangers, so we have to conclude "pills are dangerous".
I think telling the truth about the bad ones would allow us to have confidence in the good ones, but they have chosen to play it this way and we have to assume they are all dangerous and without disclosure when dangers ARE known.
