Re:A face-off on the safety of a drug for diabetes - New York Times - S

Amen. And there are just too many bean counters running Big Pharma, I

fear. My sister had a heart attack some years ago. It was caused by

a drug. That they were giving her for high blood pressure, to avoid

things like heart attacks. Causing heart attacks was a known

side-effect! And they wonder why we don't trust them.

In case anyone wonders why I tend not to trust Big Pharma. I don't deny that there are many useful drugs. BUt I don't trust the bean counters.

I find it more appropriate the acronym read Big pHARMa, with

emphasis on harm. Big pHARMa does not have your good health in mind when they

fast track their potentially damaging wonder drugs to market.

Drug research in this country used to be done by university

medical schools and research facilities. We need to get back to that way of

drug research. The Drug Industry is only interested in profit and their greed

is killing vulnerable people. I would say that if the drug side effects

are worse than the symptoms it’s treating, well…

Carol,

I wanted to say how astute; pHARMa.

Amen.

Most drugs almost killed me due to greed.
