If it's on your mind and it has to do with multiple sclerosis in any way, post it here.

FDA

Post by want2bike »

The article explains how the drug companies get the FDA to approve the drugs which are killing people. There are no morals with these people. It is all about the money.

Coming from Mercola the King of "...Misleading Statistics..." this is a joke. I wish we could ban links to that fraud. Mercola makes millions of dollars selling useless supplements to sick and desparate people. Where are his morals? How is he not all about the money?

Of course he wants people to avoid drugs and doctors and buy into his conspiracy theory fairy tales like you have. If they stay sick he can continue to sell his ridiculous supplements.

Dr. Mercola gives us a better solution for treating pain other than the drugs the doctors prescribe. He will not make a penny off you if you follow his advice.

Many but not all drugs do help people. As yes, some are probably approved prematurely. And some have serious side effects. But to throw all drugs into one category as being bad is not necessarily fair. Is it OK for a drug company to make money? Of course it is. I hope the company that finds a cure for MS makes trillions!

A quote from ... guess who:
Dr. Mercola gives us a better solution for treating pain other than the drugs the doctors prescribe. He will not make a penny off you if you follow his advice.
Actually, this is only true if you do not fall for his sales pitch.

On Mercola's list of ten non-drug solutions for pain relief, No 2 is a plug for Krill Oil. Now look at:
http://krilloil.mercola.com/krill-oil.html#sales-box
and look at all the different options he give for purchasing Krill Oil.

He talks about an infusion of ginger, but conveniently fails to suggest an infusion of willow bark which herbalists have been using for centuries. The actual chemical involved is the same as Aspirin - but of course, that is a known drug, and it seems to be one that Mercola does not sell.

Of course what Mercola does not have is any solution for Neuropathic Pain - so, sorry folks, you either have to go for Gabapentin or Pregabalin, or try some dubious Chiropractor (and there are plenty of those around).
