Bad Medicine

We've all seen them. Those pharmaceutical commercials that start out listing all the "great" ways that  a certain drug will cure your depression/allergies/sleep disorder, or what have you. But lets think for a second about how those commercials end...

 Be sure to talk to your doctor before using INSERT DRUG NAME HERE, because INSERT DRUG NAME HERE may not be suitable for children, those with uncontrolled glaucoma, or those who are pregnant or are looking to ever become pregnant. Do not take if you are about to drive or operate heavy machinery. Use of INSERT DRUG NAME HERE may result in nausea, dry mouth, constipation, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, excessive drowsiness, indigestion, dizziness upon standing, irrepressible vomiting, loss of taste, loss of sight, loss of smell, thoughts of suicide, overall numbness in limbs, yellowing of the skin or eyes, lockjaw, uncontrollable spastic movements, and in extremely rare cases, death. Some problems have been reported such as liver disease, Tuberculosis, and The Black Plague. 
Its a new day with INSERT DRUG NAME HERE, and you deserve it.

It's getting a bit ridiculous. I don't know how many times I've stared at these commercials and wondered why anyone in their right mind would put something like that in their body. Don't let the name "medicine" fool you, these are DRUGS. They aren't going to cure you, they're toxic. Sure it may ease the pain, but that's all you're getting out of it. Oh yeah, except it being 62,000 times more likely to kill you than food supplements, and 7,750 times more likely to kill you than herbal remedies. Visit Mercola.com to learn more about how supplements are all your body needs to heal. I don't even remember the last time I've used medicine, and I haven't been sick for years. Don't be afraid to stand up to the drug industry!!
