Ever wonder how the drug companies REALLY want to sell pharmaceuticals?
Here's the answer: Through vending machines! Bypass the doctors,
advertise drugs directly to consumers, and get them to insert their
credit cards into drug-dispensing machines that pretend to "diagnose"
diseases by asking people to take an instant survey.
Do
you sometimes feel like life is too much to handle? Do you ever start
projects but fail to finish them? Have you ever felt sad about
something? If so, you may be suffering from a brain chemistry disorder
that requires pharmaceutical treatment! Here, just insert your credit card, push the "BrainZac" button, and this machine will issue you a diagnosis AND deliver your "treatment."
The
small print, of course, says you'll be billed $12 per pill, and
dispensed 100 pills for a total of $1200 dollars, 90% of which will be
billed to the federal government and paid by taxpayers.
What
a scam, huh? This is where the industry is headed. CVS Pharmacies
already have in-house clinics that can diagnose diseases and prescribe
drugs for them all in the same minute!
If retail pharmacies are going to play doctor, diagnosing fictitious "diseases" and then
prescribing dangerous pills to "treat" those diseases, then why do we
need doctors in the loop at all? Big Pharma has figured out it would be a lot more
profitable to just skip the doctors and sell drugs directly to
consumers.
This is why they are lobbying the FDA so strongly to move hundreds of popular prescription-only drugs to
over-the-counter (OTC) status. That way, the doctors are taken
completely out of the loop, and consumers can buy all these high-profit
pharmaceuticals themselves, like mind slaves responding to direct-to-consumer drug advertising.
The FDA recently admitted it hopes to convert 50% of blockbuster prescription drugs to OTC status. That list even includes dangerous, deadly drugs like statins and antidepressants.
Keep
in mind this is all happening in a political environment where the FDA
claims herbs, supplements and superfoods are so dangerous that zero
health claims should be allowed by the companies selling them. But
deadly prescription drugs are so safe, the FDA says, that even children
should be able to walk into a Wal-Mart and buy unlimited bottles of
statins and antidepressant drugs, completing the purchase through a
self checkout lane that doesn't even require the oversight of a
pharmacist.
It's an amazing world we live in, huh? Just remember: When you someday see prescription drugs being sold in vending machines, we predicted it first right here on NaturalNews

Doesn't surprise me a bit, Mike. A hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida has a billboard one block before the their turn. The Billboard reads, "Having chest pains. Take the next right.
