Do you think pharmecutical companies are suppressing and or buying out research acheivements for the sake of profit...putting ourselves and or loved ones at risk...and causing millions of people to die and suffer each year...especially children?

In this day and age of technological advances in medicine etc....we seem to be not finding cures for diseases and other inflictions.

    sad to say but yes I do believe that. I also believe that they have found cures for things but that would cause them to loose money so they do not share these cures with the public!

    I am not sure what to think, I do believe that more can be done then what is being done, but without proof I can only speculate, It is sad to see so much suffering but what can we do?

    i am a bit of a contrarian, but i think all companies weigh risk against potential return. . . .so convince they will not be caught & exposed

    Absolutely. My uncle goes to Mexico to get stem cell injections which have cured him! He says the doctor is great and he has an endless supply of customers from all over. I'm sure there are many more cures we aren't taking advantage of!

    NO doubt,, and worse yet the pharms get PAID to do it!!

    I knew a little girl who was in the foster care system who was on..

    1. anti-depressant (ssri and in a child no less)
    2. an anti-psychotic
    3. an anti-anxiety
    4. an amphetamine like ritalin for ADHD
    5. a sleeping pill at night!

    Now I know for a FACT that two of those meds shouldnt be given together myself,, but to be putting all those brain chemical altering meds into a CHILDS body.. she couldnt gain weight and was underweight and then she finally just snapped and pulled a knife on her foster mother.. I have little doubt shes in juvy now.

    Before my father passed away...he had a list a mile long of the meds they were giving him...he wouldnt eat...was losing weight drastically...so I told the Doctor that the meds had to have some effect on this if not all....the Doctor eliminated over half or cut back these meds....within a week he was eating and gaining weight, and even eating things he didnt like before....they dont seem to check for medications that conteract with others

    Doctors pushing medications for the benefit of the perks they get from the companies....I read here on SH that they finally stopped drug companies from giving away perks and whatever to Med students
