All of these DRUG AND HEALTH COMMERCIALS HAVE TO GO. Plus we just love the one where they try to hook people onto various pharmaceutical drugs and then cover their bases with "Can cause lymphoma, T.B., blood diseases, cancer, etc., etc. infections, etc." [QUOTE]

Yes, Senior, I've been thinking about that very thing. I always thought it was up to a Doctor to suggest whaever drug would be appropriate to remedy a health issue. Yet these ads are all appealing to the Consumer .... "pick me", "suggest me to your Doctor". It must be driving Doctors crazy to have patients demanding inappropriate drugs. At least now the ads have to talk about side effects and not hide them. (Even though they do it so quickly and in such a low tone that you can't even hear them!)
