Yup, we're screwed

The pharmaceutical industry has turned into (turned? it already was) the greediest piece of shit ever! I saw this comming... i swear... and it will happen soon. first, it was:

xenical... treatment for obesity (fat people were buying it like hot cakes, doctors prescribing it without thinking twice... now, not many use it because it causes yellow ass piss and makes you feel like ass... ofcourse they don't tell you that it gives you the lipid profile of an obese 120 year old man who never lifted a finger and is about to have a heart attack any second now)

then came:

rimonabant... a drug for weak ass people who don't know when to say no to food. it kills the appetite. can you say "malnutrition"? ofcourse, doctors won't tell you to learn self control and exercise, they'll just write up a prescription for that shit without thinking twice.

then came:

anti aging clinic!!!!!!
where steroids will kill you immediately, if not, your balls will fall off, you won't be able to have children, you'll have every disease known to man, and you will develope tits. steroids are the worst things you can ever put in your body. cocain would be a much wiser choice, it's not 1% as bad as steroids.... that's if you get them for $3 an amp in the black market or from 3rd world countries... but if you get them from the US or Europe for $45 an amp, they will make you feel and look younger, they will make you healthier, they will make your skin glow, they will melt off the fat in your body, they will make you feel 18 again witha stronger sex drive, they will give you confidence, they will give you muscles without even working out, all doctors recommend these "anti aging healthy hormones"... as long as you pay $45 for teh same shit you buy for $3 in the black market.

and now we have:

Alli
the wonderful drug (it's basically xenical... see the first drug in the list), but YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO GET A PERSCRIPTION FOR IT!!! IT'S OTC!!!! HURRAY!!!!


and what are they doing to boost business and get more money... read this article


GSK Petition Threatens Weight Loss Supplements
Posted Monday, May 12, 2008
GlaxoSmithKline, the second-largest pharmaceutical company in the world and makers of many prescription and over-the-counter drugs has petitioned the FDA to classify weight loss claims for dietary supplements as ‘disease claims’.

Many believe that this is an effort by GlaxoSmithKline, makers of alli™, an over-the-counter weight loss drug, to quash competition from the dietary supplement weight loss industry.
Their petition is designed to accomplish this by making it illegal for dietary supplement products to make claims about aiding in weight loss, as by law supplements may not make claims about treating any disease. Many view this as another in a long line of legal attacks by the pharmaceutical industry on competing supplement products. Read the full petition by clicking here: (PDF 3.2 MB).

GlaxoSmithKline already has a questionable record of honesty. The FDA recently issued a warning to the company for not reporting safety results on its diabetes pill Avandia. Previously, the Senate Finance Committee found that GlaxoSmithKline intimidated and coerced a prominent critic of Avandia so that he would no longer speak critically of the drug. Just before that, it was alleged that the company systematically hid and manipulated data concerning Paxil-induced suicide in depressed adults.

Given the relative strength of the pharmaceutical industry, estimated at over $550 billion per year and rapidly growing, its political influence is significantly stronger than that of the dietary supplement industry. Protection of dietary supplements relies primarily on grassroots action from consumers concerned about protecting their rights and preserving access to safe products with few side-effects that often work as well or better than their drug counterparts.
Part of our mission at DSIB is to educate the public about issues related to dietary supplements. GlaxoSmithKline’s petition has huge implications for dietary supplements, and we feel that a negative ruling by the FDA could result in more attacks from pharmaceutical companies, and perhaps eventually the death knell for the dietary supplements industry.







I only agree with these assholes on one issue...
"FDA to classify weight loss claims for dietary supplements as ‘disease claims’. "

fatassism... it's worse than herpes.
