How the Pharmaceutical Industry & the FDA are Endangering Your Health for Profit
http://www.mercola.com/dvd/prescription_for_disaster.htm?aid=CD12
It is estimated that in America last year, nearly $2 trillion was spent on health care -- and virtually all that money was spent on treating disease. Despite this massive expenditure on treatment, more Americans are sicker than ever before with diseases that are largely preventable: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and depression, to name a few.
Each year more money is spent on treatment, mere patchwork, even though it has become crystal-clear that treatments do NOT enable you to live a longer, better life. So why is the amount of money being spent on prevention just a pittance compared with the amount spent on treatment?
The answer is simple -- when you are sick it is highly profitable to various giant corporations. When you are well, it doesn't profit them much at all.
