The pharmaceutical industry is an investment industry driven by the profits of its shareholders. Improving human health is not the driving force of this industry.

The pharmaceutical investment industry was artificially created and strategically developed over an entire century by the same investment groups that control the global petrochemical and chemical industries.

The huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry are based on the patenting of new drugs. These patents essentially allow drug manufacturers to arbitrarily define the profits for their products.

The marketplace for the pharmaceutical industry is the human body – but only for as long as the body hosts diseases. Thus, maintaining and expanding diseases is a precondition for the growth of the pharmaceutical industry.

A key strategy to accomplish this goal is the development of drugs that merely mask symptoms while avoiding the curing or elimination of diseases. This explains why most prescription drugs marketed today have no proven efficacy and merely target symptoms.

To further expand their pharmaceutical market, the drug companies are continuously looking for new applications (indications) for the use of drugs they already market. For example, Bayer’s pain pill Aspirin is now taken by 50 million healthy US citizens under the illusion it will prevent heart attacks.

Another key strategy to expand pharmaceutical markets is to cause new diseases with drugs. While merely masking symptoms short term, most of the prescription drugs taken by millions of patients today cause a multitude of new diseases as a result of their known long-term side effects. For example, all cholesterol-lowering drugs currently on the market are known to increase the risk of developing cancer – but only after the patient has been taking the drug for several years.

The known deadly side effects of prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in the industrialized world, surpassed only by the number of deaths from heart attacks, cancer and strokes (Journal of the American Medical Association, April 15, 1998). This fact is no surprise either, because drug patents are primarily issued for new synthetic molecules. All synthetic molecules need to be detoxified and eliminated from the body, a system that frequently fails and results in an epidemic of severe and deadly side effects.

The pharmaceutical “business with disease” is the largest deception and fraud business in human history. The product “health” promised by drug companies is not delivered to millions of patients. Instead, the “products” most often delivered are the opposite: new diseases and frequently, death.

The survival of the pharmaceutical industry is dependent on the elimination by any means of effective natural health therapies. These natural and non-patentable therapies have become the treatment of choice for millions of people despite the combined economic, political and media opposition of the world’s largest investment industry.

Because the more people ask their docs for these pills, the more profits for their company.

I'm surprised at the number of drug ads on TV in the USA, encouraging people to speak to their doctor about getting on to certain meds. As a result, people are more reliant on prescribed meds.

This doesn't happen in the UK ... you get some ads for cold remedies or painkillers, but that's about it. The reason being, that docs in the UK are less likely to prescribe meds and will suggest alternatives because the health service is free, plus they are on a budget and not benefitting from the pharmaceutical companies.

Because doctors don't have time to research the new drugs. The reps make a lot of money by telling the doctors about new drugs. Pharmaceutical reps give out samples of drugs to get the doctors to use them. If the drugs work, the doctor will prescribe the drugs to his patients through a drug store. The drug stores buy the drugs from the pharmaceutical companies. There is lots of money made this way for the drug store, the pharmaceutical company and the rep.

Because companies sink millions of dollars into developing drugs but only have so many years (generally 13-14) to market and sell them exculsively. After that, competition can step in, find out the formula, and sell cheaper versions of the same drugs because they didn't need to spend all the time developing the drug, they only needed to copy it. So, during those 13-14 exclusive years, it's the drug companies jobs to make a profit before being undersold

Business.
The companies make a product and they want the consumer to buy it. So they get the doctors to "sell" their products to their patients (which are just customers really).
If the consumer buys, so much the better (for the company, not the consumer).
Ever read or listen to those side effects? God, those sound worse than the condition they're supposed to help.

Since they represent their companies, it's pretty clear that they're out to make money by pushing doctors to prescribe expensive medications. It's all about money, not about health.
