Really!!!
On numerous occasions, I’ve written about how drugs in general only treat symptoms not the actual cause of the illness or disease you are taking it for.
When a drug, masquerading as medicine prescribed by a so-called health professional is taken for a minor health issue, the chances are that the side effects of the drug, and yes there will be side effects, are likely to be inconsequential and ignored, but the more serious the illness the stronger and potentially more damaging the side effects will be.
Now every manufacturer of pharmaceutical drugs is required by law to list the possible side effects and make them available to anyone to see.
The problem is that upon receiving the diagnosis of MS, 99.9% of sufferers only want to know how it can be treated, their minds are completely shut off to the dangers, and they don’t want to hear anything else.
As I’ve said, the manufacturers must make the information on side effects available.
The most common drug that’s recommended by drug pushers, aka doctors, is Beta interferon … Avonex is the trade name made by Biogen.
On their website they list in small print listed behind several lists that need to be clicked the information listed below.
Read it all…
What is AVONEX® (interferon beta-1a)?
AVONEX is a prescription medicine used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease in adults.
