Why Havent I heard of this?
Your Problems, Their Profits Pharmaceutical companies are more interested in profit than in your well being-
Rx Company Executives control the FDA board of directorsDoctors get paid by Rx Companies to prescribe their drugs (Kick-Backs)
The Truth About PharmaceuticalsThe use of Vicodin, the most popular pain relief drug in the country, has grown dramatically from 112 million doses prescribed in 2006, to over 131 million in 2012.
The United States makes up only 4.6 percent of the world's population, but consumes 80 percent of its Opioids -- and 99 percent of the world's Hydrocodone, the opiate that is in Vicodin.
Opioids are essentially legal heroin" says Lewis Nelson, who served on an FDA panel to revise the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy.
Accidental overdoses from Vicodin and other narcotic pain relievers kill more people than car accidents in 17 states now, according to Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Responsible for more deaths than crack in the 1980s and black tar heroin in the 1970s combined
Some Pharmaceuticals are necessary treatment options, and are vital to your health- but did you know that most painkillers are more dangerous than Heroin-?
