<<<Are you of the opinion that the pharmaceutical industry isn't trying to
stop the sale of natural supplements? >>>
Personally, I think in this market-driven society, no one is going to stop
the sale of anything that is making big bucks... and the supplement industry
brings in something like a couple of billion dollars a year, from what I
recollect hearing. That's nothing to sneeze at, even by Big Pharma.
Rather than trying to stop the sale of natural supplements, I think they
would be more likely to get on the bandwagon and join in reaping the
profits... that way they'd be getting the bucks from the people who do use
their drugs, and also profit from the people who don't.
If there's money to be made, I think they'd go after it, rather than
possibly losing a huge market completely, which I think is a real
possibility. I'm sure a lot of people who prefer using natural things and
tend to be independent aren't going to just jump into using pharmaceuticals
if the choice is taken away. So instead of bringing those folks into the
pharmaceutical fold, they'd just end up losing that market completely, and I
don't think they want to see that happen.
Sure, they might not make as much money from a natural herbal that they
can't patent, but any sale is better than no sale when you've got
stockholders to please, eh?
