The Emperor isn't wearing any clothes.

RE: Lack of ethical conduct by the pharmaceutical industry.

In this story, the Emperor is the pharmaceutical industry.

Most (but thankfully not all) of the media is pooh poohing the news on

the statin (Paxil, or fill in the blank) is because they want the

money they get to show ads. Money. It's the same reason why all of the

drug companies cover up their negative research. Money. The same

reason why some doctors and psychiatrists now invent different

diseases so a drug company can create a new pill. Money. The same

reason why politicians don't get involved because of the donations

they get from the drug companies. Money. The same reason why drug

companies give doctors bonuses for prescribing their pills. In a word-

yupp- money.

I sincerely hope that some day the public realizes that the Emperor

isn't wearing any clothes.

My mother's life was ruined by a doctor that insisted she stay on

Lipitor for years, even after she complained to him about many of the

current side effects. After I did some research on this drug, I told

her to stop taking it immediately. It was too late. She now has

chronic muscle weakness, memory problems, heel spurs and hand tremors.

This once vibrant woman now has to go to weekly pain management

doctors and even now has problems with her immune system. Obviously

this " doctor " didn't bother to read about the side effects that this

poison causes.

She's then, since been to other doctors and it's the same thing. They

seem to be obsessed with prescribing cholesterol lowering drugs. I

have to hand it to the drug companies. They've done a superb job

(using their fake research) to completely brain wash most of the

doctors. I wonder how the human race survived for thousands of years

without cholesterol drugs. Absolutely amazing.
