Rather Be Healthy

The drug companies and how they believe everyone is gullible..

I wonder if the average everyday person looking for help and believe they will get that genuine help from a drug company actually realize that they are being conned by big Pharma. The help isn’t going to come because the pharmaceutical companies are interested in one thing and one thing only and that is profit.
Next time you are watching TV, don’t zip through the commercials, actually watch and listen to the advertisements promoting a drug they are professing will help you with a health problem. Listen to the gentle voice at the end suggesting that a very occasional user of the drug may experience certain problems.
The gentle calm voice is telling you about the side effects that were experienced by a group of gullible testers of the product. People did suffer from the kidney problems, the increased risk of cancer and whatever they mention.
Oh it’s nothing to really concern yourself about if you take the drug and have an irritating problem like a mild itch or possible headache. But it is a concern when you might have liver failure or a heart attack and there is a chance, slim though it is that you might die. Then the gentle voice tells you to consult your doctor if you have any of these adverse symptoms. Why oh why would you chose to go back to the very person (on a kick back from the pharmaceutical company) and ask them for another drug that’s going to cause you damage.
Notice that every six months or so there is a new bout of advertisements from law firms asking if you or a loved one has been hurt by taking what was then drug of the month. It’s a big scam, they are all in it together. The drug companies set aside a hundred million dollars to pay out as compensation, they’ve made billions from the sale of it so what’s a million or so to be paid out to the gullible public.
Remember that these are drugs that have been passed as safe by the FDA, did you know that there is a revolving door between the FDA and the pharmaceutical companies, yes it’s normal for senior executives to spend two years with big pharma the two years on the FDA, interesting.

Zocor (simvastatin) is a cholesterol-lowering drug that has been linked to rhabdomyolysis and myopathy (muscle injuries) as well as other serious side effects such as kidney or renal failure, liver problems, interstitial lung disease (ILD), and tendon ruptures.
Zocor 80 mg Pills Found To Have An Increased Risk Of Causing Rhabdomyolysis And Myopathy
The risk of developing rhabdomyolysis is greater for patients who use highest dose (80 mg) of Zocor (simvastatin). Rhabdomyolysis — sometimes called “rhabdo” as its short name — is the most serious form of myopathy and can lead to severe kidney damage, kidney failure, and sometimes death.

o I find this a little strange because your doctor has recommended a drug, cleared by the FDA as safe yet it is possibly causing severe problems now and likely to cause even worse problems if stop taking it.
o And you are meant to trust these people…
