The fact there are commercials for prescription drugs is very troublesome.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79010667


They pay for "advertising" but what they're really doing is buying the content on every media platform.

It's a payment to the media company, it's not really an "ad" for the product.

They control all the content, every story, every opinion, every news event that is covered, in every channel, station, broadcast company, cable network, newspaper and magazine.

Re: Have you guys been watching drug commercials lately?
I’ll never understand pharmaceutical commercials… if someone has an illness, their doctor will know what treatments are available. It’s bizarre to spend money on marketing if treating patients with the illness is the actual goal. Especially all these commercials I see for super niche meds for rare illnesses.

I hate living in this clown world.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83767018


Did you? That would be awesome!

I did a kind of crash course study of medicare recently for someone, so I know what the different parts are and which are not a monthly bill and which are.

I am in my early 60s and in my entire adult life I had medical insurance for about 2 years in the late 80s/early 90s.

I haven't been to a doctor since January 1992, and I regret going for a "physical" then, I just thought I "should" because I had paid for it. Doctor was a real creep!
And there is nothing wrong with me.

Any time I have had issues or symptoms I have dealt with it through radical dietary changes, nutritional supplements, herbs, and lifestyle changes.

Disclaimer, I have been to dentists and had dental procedures down a few times, but not in the last 15 years.

If you refused Part B of Medicare, that is pretty cool, and I hope you're spending that money on things that actually promote health, like great food, a wide range of supplements, and herbs, etc.

The disclaimer is longer than the commercial.

Anti depressants "may" cause suicidal thoughts, and many other conditions.

These commercials push the drug with a longer disclaimer on the side effects than the commercial.

Small print there for 2 seconds just so the drug company can say "we told them!".

What a clown world.
 Quoting: Radagast the Brown


Almost all of them contain disclaimers for "may cause death or stroke". From the sounds of things all drugs are engineered to kill you and they tell you outright and in your face....but people are in such a mind controlled trance they smile and take the drugs anyway...like never hearing the warnings....

Ok. so my doctor was pushing a colonoscopy. Why? instead I requested the Cologard test. Came in the mail.

There's a little shit bucket. cringe. And the whole process was disgusting. Sent it in and guess what... comes back "abnormal" because it detects any amount of blood in stool. Of course 90% of people will have blood in their stool.

Results say vaguely "this test is only positive or negative" does not detect anything else... but to send you to your doctor for a colonoscopy!!!

 Quoting: Vision Thing


I refused it and it's been almost 10 years since I did that. I do see an eye doctor every few years to get contacts, and I've seen dentists. I did get essential dental work, due to the literal gutting of teeth by former dentists going back to childhood. I got deluded into further work that I regret. Now I'm trying to figure out how to repair what's possible and then stay away from the dental establishment as much as possible. I've not seen an MD for many decades, and only from a job I had back in my 20's. There was a required chest Xray, and I felt it for about 48 hours. I felt it took something from me, but medical "science" disagrees. I felt the same thing from tooth Xrays.

Obviously, I've refused the vaxx even though it cost me a lot. I'll test various products and note the results. I use some supplements and try to eat right, but that's nearly impossible for a single guy getting lots of other stuff done.

So far, so good. I'll live until I die, but I won't enrich the medical establishment.

Pharma's whole business model is selling poisonous products that will require you to purchase more of their poisonous products. And that healthy people are bad for a debt based economy. Keep people just healthy enough to be productive but just unhealthy enough to keep needing expensive meds and surgeries. If people were truly healthy the entire medical profession would practically disappear and big chunk of GDP along with it.
