Drug Advertising & Made Up Diseases.......Oh My!




CBS Sunday Morning, revealed today, something, I've long suspected. The drug companies and their advertising honchos make up diseases to sell drugs!

RLS or Restless Leg Syndrome was a fine example. Just one of hundreds of diseases that did not exist when I was younger!

The other amazing revelation was that all drug advertising on TV is banned world wide, except in New Zealand, and of course the USA! And New Zealand is considering a ban!

I once worked for a pharmaceutical company in Ft Collins Colorado. It was the most corrupt, greedy, and immoral place I have ever worked. It should have been run by the Mafia instead of the Southern Baptists that actually ran it.........many who where graduates of Virginia Military Institute (VMI).

This company violated most SEC laws and rules, as well as FDA regulations...........OK, they lied, big time. It was all for money....big money. The biggest joke of all on investors was the drugs the company was built on didn't work........or in fact caused cancer........all are off the market. The company was sold and everyone who lied, became millionaires!

Maybe I should go see that new Michael Moore movie?
