MESICS Economics of Disease
Prescription Drug Use in America is Rampant
And We're as Sick as We've Ever Been
Maybe
you've heard in recent news that the pharmaceutical
companies are "just big business." How drug companies
care more about profits than you the consumer.
What about your needs? Your
long term health? Your safety? Do they really count
for much?
Unfortunately, no.
According to The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
in 2006 the average American received 1.7 drugs (ordered
or provided) per physician visit. For outpatient hospital
visits, this number shoots up to 2.8. The total drug
output for hospital outpatient visits was 162.6 million!
- What do these numbers
say about America as a country?
- At what point do we say
"drug company sales are just too high?"
- And if we are in fact
swallowing so many pills, how come we aren't any healthier?
As Harry Loynd, former President
of Parke-Davis Drug Company, put it: |
| "Pills
are to sell,
not to take. If we put horse
manure in a capsule we could sell it to 95 percent of
these doctors." * |
A lot of doctors dole out prescription drugs like candy.
You complain of an ailment, they have a cure in pill
form.
If you have:
- Stress
- Depression
- Migraine headaches
- Back tension
- High cholesterol
- Arthritis
- Or any other health complaint
Chances are, your doctor has a pill for
it. Sadly, not all medical physicians are immune to
the greed that drives the push to sell drugs to as many
people as possible. **
The Multi-Billion Dollar Rip Off
Taking pills too frequently is like applying
a giant bandage over an injury that will never heal.
That's because pills don't fix what's wrong with you.
They just mask the symptoms. Not to mention the exorbitant
price tag. While your pocket book is shrinking to cover
the cost of all those prescriptions, the drug companies
are getting richer and richer.
American drug company sales now total
$252 billion per year! ***
When is enough enough?
Instead of counting on prescription or
over-the-counter drugs to get you well, wouldn't you
rather be healthy naturally? Now you can. With MESICS
