A German medical doctor named Mathais Rath makes really extraordinary claims about the supposed evils of pharmaceutical companies. He has an extensive website that is well worth reading. I would characterize his perspective as extreme, but given the facts of history, not paranoid.

His group seems to have something to say about all kinds of issues; the site is worth a bookmark.

I understand your feeling, Faith, but please do understand that plenty
of people have less faith in the system than you do.

Twenty years ago you wouldn't have predicted that millions of school
children would be on powerful prescription drugs, or that you would not
be allowed to take a nail file on an airplane.

Go back 40 years and our food was much more nutritious than it is today
-- and 40 year before that it was even better. The levels of toxins, hormones and pharmaceuticals in it has skyrocketed. All along the way,
regulators have supported and protected the preactices that have
brought this about.

Marlene's scenario might be pushing it a bit by today's standards, but
fast-forward 15 years and who knows?

Be well,

I agree with Kathryn, It might become  illegal to be well without any
supervision of the government regulated Pharma Companies, or their
physicians. Seriously I appreciate the freedom we still have to share our experiences via the internet. I hope this freedom will not become a
regulated system.

  do with money, and who is going to be making a bundle off of what
product, and through supression of competitor's products. This world
  is not much fun for us pollyanna types.
