Pharma markets drugs to solve the problems created by nutritionally inadequate and quite frankly poisonous diets, which are sold to the masses as healthy food, or rewarding food, or just tasty food - and the sugar companies have subverted the government to the extent that the government (who has no business in public health or diet) recommending products as healthy that are filled with poisons and addictive substances.

Pharma also markets drugs to alleviate the side effects of other drugs. If you follow the government (or the marketers) ideas of a healthy diet, you will end up taking many drugs (prescription and otc) to combat the damage being done.

Doctors no longer heal, or have any incentive to make you well. They are the street dealers of pharma, and/or the beneficiaries of the "health insurance" racket. Doctors are no longer even doctors; most people's primary contact in the medical sciences (in the US at least) is some kind of nurse that can recommend prescription drugs (and may or may not be able to actually write the prescription, but don't worry, someone else in the office will do it for them.)

I went to an orthopedic doctor for some recurring muscle aches that were often limiting my range of motion and physical activities. I was not given exercises, stretches, recommendations for ice or heat, etc - nope, just a couple steroid shots and be on your way! When I asked about physical activities to try or avoid, the doctor seemed surprised, maybe a little annoyed, and had no practical feedback. Very disappointing.

Pharma is more than disappointing, it is harmful. Same goes for the companies marketing poisonous and addictive foods, clearly - and they definitely work hand-in-hand, and have the masses drinking their kool-aid.

This will not be looked back upon as a good period in societal (or human) evolution - we are in a Dark Ages of sorts, and these will be seen as tough times, or maybe when humans almost? wiped themselves off the planet.

Have fun surviving out there.
