As I sit in my physician's waiting room, I notice a drug company's sales rep.  You know them, they are the off-duty cheerleaders seated quietly holding a stash brief case.  Pharmaceutical companies take good looking people, "educate" them on all the wonderful things their drugs promise, and send them off to sell their drugs, totting lots of free samples and incentives for our doctors.  That is just the beginning...

Watch this in depth investigation into the dark side of medicine.  Dr. Gary Null exploits all the angles of deception; including the shady dealings of the FDA and pharmaceutical companies, marketing and compliance tactics, lobbyists, lawmakers, and even the roles our physicians and medical schools have in promoting drug abuse use. 

It seems that everyone is on at least one pill or another, even though these drugs only treat their symptoms and not the actual problem.  I asked my doctor why there is such an increased use of prescription drugs and his response was clear - people won't eat right, they won't drink water, and they won't exercise - but they will take a pill.  

That is sad.
