Someone mentioned "not intended to treat or cure." You will see this on a lot of natural products regardless of how effective the product is. In
other words this statement does not mean that the product does not work.
I don't know much about Kevin, but I do like folks who stand up to the drug companies. Drug companies are very much taking on the form of
"quacks," and they continuously are selling "snake oil" that creates extra problems. I honestly haven't a clue why anyone would back some of the
stuff they are pushing off on the people of this world? Truthfully, I guess there are times for drugs, but not near as much as they are being pushed.
Would you come back over to my house and eat my food if every time you ate it you went home feeling sick? Then why do people insist on taking up for
the drug companies. Are some people sadists? "I just love the stomach pain and diarrhea I get with the purple pill."
Now, in all fairness, I'll support whatever the drug companies have done to actually help us, but it is getting increasingly difficult to find
something to like about the drug industry. And I'm sure there are quacks in the natural field in all fairness. Let's call it like it is. Some
natural products undoubtedly may not have worked.
The prices for some of these medicines are just silly, especially when I can stroll down to Vitamin World and find something that actually helps me,
and it's not $200 a bottle. I guess there is insurance, but if that's what insurance gets me, then I'll stick with paying for my vitamins. And I
don't have to check in with the doctor about my indigestion, because I have it under control now.
The drug industry is a monstrous profit machine. The monster, largely does not care about you. If it did care, then why does it bombard you with
pills that have so many potential side effects?
