I do not think anyone is questioning drugs for serious illness. Only yesterday there was a piece on the radio about the death of a scientist who disovered drugs which keep HIV patients in a fairly normal life.
In my eyes drugs are a failure because they are not the Cure! HIV should at sometime be cured! HBP should be cured not controlled.
If as much money was spent researching cures as is spent finding new money spinner drugs maybe we would have more cures by now!
When I here about over 50 pills for everyone it worries me not just about the benefits of mass medication but about the motives of those who market the idea!
