Take a moment to really LISTEN to a commercial for new drug on the market. It will go something like this:
* One or two good examples of improvement of a symptom, (preformed by happy attractive actors).
* This is followed by 8 to 20 possible negative side effects, some of which include things like stroke, heart-attack, depression, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, suicidal thoughts or actions, or in some cases — death. It is both appalling and laughable that Americans are so desensitized that we accept this as OK! In what logical reality is it OK for the side effects of a drug to be far worse than the symptoms of a disorder? Wake up everyone.
* At the end of the commercial we are told to “ask your Dr. if this is Right for you,” and we actually go ahead and take whichever drugs they’re trying to sell us. Wake up! Find another alternative that is effective and does not have negative side effects.
