Big Pharma

I have used prescription medications. My kids have used prescription medications. In all likelihood, we'll all use them again at some point in time. I think pharmacology has its place, even for those committed to living a natural, holistic lifestyle, but the business as a whole has turned into something ugly. Prescriptions are far too widely and freely handed out, and people are accepting it as status quo, instead of doing their own research.

What are you prescribing?
Why do I need it?
What are the side effects?
What are the alternatives?

This video is from a former pharmaceutical rep, who talks about the industry and its purpose (hint: it's not to make people well)
