I think you have a point there. I took someone to the doctor's office
the other day and had to wait as they didn't have an appointment and he
had to work them in. During a 5 hour wait there were no less than half
a dozen sales persons who called on that office. Don't know how many
were offering free samples, but I'd bet some were.

I don't know about those products but somewhere, maybe in my old computer,
which is still operational, I have photocopies of the actual labs reports
from
NIH that shows one non-toxic stuff did better than all the toxic
chemotherapies, but the published report,that I also have a copy of, shows
the
opposite.

Sure the pharmaceutical industry is in bed with the military-industrial
complex, and all the three-letter Federal agencies.

Bill,

I don't think that it's as sinister as you paint it.

The fact is that AFTER an MD graduates from medical school, completes his
internship, and joins the medical workforce, their main source for the
latest information on medicine is going to be pharmaceutical salesmen. It's
that simple.

It's not in the pharmaceutical companies' best interests to promote generics
or various other therapies -- they're in the pill business.

The pharmaceutical companies sponsor free junkets to "conferences" in
various resort areas that are little more than presentations of their latest
drugs. The doctor learns of the therapy, and prescribes the drugs, thinking
that he is following the state of the medical arts.

- But a Good Doctor
Will wait & see how the drug behaves with patients;
& THEN decide..

If, however, you've been diagnosed with Cancer, which has metastisized;
the most agressive therapy is the best.
I do know of someone ( actually three people, no make that four people)
who'se life was saved by Surgery, Chemotherapy & ( if needed ) radiation..
- Not pleasant, But the alternative is much much worse..
Luck helps too...
When I was a Kid, some guy up the road had a heart attack, thought he could
cure it with Prayer..

He was wrong..!

So, go take the ( hopefully harmless ) pills the government is trying to stop
you from getting,
( They're digested, like everything else you swallow, & a glass of water never
hurt )

But also SeeYour Doctor..

Don't know how many were offering free samples, but I'd bet some were.

They usually are free samples.Doctors often give some to patients short on cash
to use and to other patients to try, when something else isn't working.
