A prescription of a different kind

Just look at "rates" of depression, which are magically skyrocketing in direct proportion to pharmaceutical greed. PeterB |

"PeterB" wrote in message ups.com... Just look at "rates" of depression, which are magically skyrocketing in direct proportion to pharmaceutical greed. PeterB Yes in deed! Have you noticed how every single solitary treatment for depression has the very most common side effect of being "Sucicidal thoughts?" Like, what's up with that? Maybe it's a simple case of as the person comes out of depression, they gain some energy enough to even consider it when maybe they didn't before. I had major depression for 10 years - I could watch a tearjerker move and feel nothing, absolutely nothing, and to try to get treated with drugs for the depression was completely impossible. Then it vanished as mysteriously as it appeared. Now the doctors have gone completely the other way and take the shotgun diagnosis approach. Instead of ordering cat scans, they do diagnosis by experimentation. If they think the person might be depressed, give them a pill and then another and another, instead of finding out more. Is the patient saying that it just came over them without any apparrent reason? Than maybe they are depressed, but if they say "I lost my mate or friend or whatever" maybe they are grieving and need assistance in learning how to move past that instead of a pill. There are plenty of REAL diseases without having to confuse me or others by making some up to boot. If this trend of shotgun diagnosis via pill experimentation doesn't stop, the drug companies will become richer, and something terrible is going to happen. Enough people are going to get hurt that it will swing around again and those who really do need treatment will NOT get what they need. Balance, that's what's needed, but what we got is chaos. |

My older son has AD/HD and we worked with him from the beginning using a combination of medicine, special education, counseling, parental involvement and not listening to bull****. The claim that this is "manufactured" is pure unadulterated bull****. AD/HD was around and described over a century ago. It has undergone name changes, but, a rose by any other name... |

Oh, I forgot. That's OK because the $2 million comes from supplement manufacturers. Your sponsors make the supplements, you idiot. 90% of all manufactured vitamins come from the drug makers. It's the reason your bosses tried to fix prices on vitamins during the 1990s, until they got caught. Industry influence over the legislature is wrong and should be eliminated, but prescrioption drugs are responsible for 100,000 deaths per year. Supplements, by contrast, are associated with fewer mortalities than death by bee sting. Look at the relative differences between these product classes (ie, their impact to public health), not just the politics. PeterB |

Markey, I've told you about pandering to the interests of your sponsors using these stories of yours. We are well aware that you have encountered every disease known to Man, either yourself personally or in a friend, pet, or family member (same thing?) But we hear that rumors of your resurrection are wildly exaggerated, and you failed to answer any of my prayers last week, so I'm suspicious. BTW, do you wear a cape? |
