I prefer not to take anything these medical "pros" hand out now. From 1957 to the 70s I had a doctor who actually cared about his patients and would prescribe only medicine that had been tested for at least ten years. i know of some people whose health actually improved after they stopped taking all of that junk these doctors hand out like candy. As soon as anything new is produced, they jump right in and dole it out. Sort of like the FDA and all the food they "approve" that seems to cause more harm than good while telling you what is good for you.

Of course people die from taking prescription drugs. Did he scare people? I doubt it. When people get sick, they will try something to get better and most prescription drugs are safe when used according to directions.

I do not think so. All of those people are going to die someday anyway. Furthermore, more and more people are beginning to realize that the U.S. government does much more harm than good. If the free market dictated what drugs people use instead of the government everyone's health would be much better.

That is absolutely TRUE. They kill more people than all diseases combined. Scared? Helll no. corporate PIGS want us scared. It doesn't help those who are scared to know BIG PHARMA runs the FDA. WHEN my father died he was taking 28 different prescription pills. The last one prescribed him was an antidepressant. WE SHOULD BE MAD AS HEILL!

Compared to what? All the other candidates that kept telling the people about how there is a terrorist hidden under their beds and that they should be perpetually frightened?
