I know many physicians no longer have Big Pharm in their pockets today as 10 years ago. They are far more concerned about just writing scripts.
I Do you find it interesting That you consider acupuncture Not holistic And yet Almost every herb, flower, bark used for decades By physians has helped big pharm create modern drugs today.
Please clarify:
1) You think "big pharma" is at fault because YOU are allergic to something?????
2) DES??? And multiple other drug failures as well that you know nothing about??? That's like blaming leeches and bloodletting as "treatments" with poor results
3) We were in "big pharma's" pocket 10 years ago??? Sorry I missed that
4) Now we "just write scripts"??? God help my writer's cramp, not to mention the boredom
5) The only thing in that post that is even remotely true is that many modern pharmaceuticals have a basis in plants---but which do you think is better, let's say for depression--St. John's wort with an arbitrary potency factor of 1.0, or it's pharmaceutical derivative - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with a potency factor of 100?

I always wonder where the non-professional public gets some of their bizarre ideas.
