What I find particularly repulsive is Wyeth’s continued denial that they are causing cancer in people who are taking their drugs and this is just so typical of pharmaceutical companies. When will this country wake up and realize we have been sold down the river by our own doctors who are nothing more than front men and women for drug companies? Our doctors DON’T know enough about the drugs they prescribe and they are basically experimenting on us! They also don’t “manage” patients and understand how drugs interact.

As a patient YOU have to be your own doctor and be informed. If you choose to rely only on your doctor today, you will suffer the health consequences of being so lazy.
