Americans Are Finally Starting to Catch on to Deceptive Marketing A nationwide survey indicates that there are significant differences between the public's view of pharmaceutical companies and the industry's perception of itself. These differences have caused the pharmaceutical industry to lose the trust of many. The survey asked questions of consumers, physicians, health insurers, researchers and policymakers. The survey found that: More than 60 percent of industry stakeholders believe drug companies manipulate or suppress negative clinical trials to maximize sales. Almost all the consumers surveyed (94 percent) and most stakeholders (81 percent) feel drug companies promote their products far too aggressively when it comes to unapproved uses. Consumers are split roughly evenly between believing that pharmaceutical companies consider important unmet medical needs when deciding to develop a new drug (55 percent) versus believing that they tend to develop "me-too" and "lifestyle" drugs with the greatest sales potential (45 percent).

Hi Angie,

Thanks for the great information.  I am only surprised that the numbers are not higher.

Thanks to a Loving God, an understanding Physician, and a Reformed Pharmacist, who is my Nutritionist, I have been Blessed to remain Pharmaceutically "Drug Free" for over 20 years, without so much as even a Cold.  There is a better way to live.

Have A Blessed Week,

Phil 

Hi Phil, Unfortunately there are still plenty of people in the world like my mother-in-law, who believe only what they know and are unwilling to change. They think that antibiotics are the best thing since cupcakes and they live at the doctor and are pumped full of more medical garbage than a lab rat. I'm just glad that it is on the rise. Keep on truckin my friend. Have a great day.

Hi Angie

I really think we all saw this one coming!
