    I recommend not taking two, and calling him a quack.

    But without the profit motive there’d be no research into better witch craft!

    10 yeas ago went to ENT for tinnitus. He recommended herbals. With a disclaimer sheet that he had an interest in the company. 10 years later returned to ENT to see if anything new on tinnitus. He could only think of a hearing test and a hearing aid.

    A lot of pressure and a lot of kickback profits too, I assume.

    Drug reps…make a huge amount of money….push Drugs for their company to docs, who in turn push on patients wether they need it or not! In today’s world, bribery will get you everywhere. Just look at congress! Big Pharmaceutical cos are the biggest drug pushers in America! Their ads are nauseating, long and push people to try drugs for every ache and pain! Doctors are right behind them….all for a free lunch and samples….

    At least healing crystals don’t have a list of side effects that take up 30 seconds of the TV commercial.

    Doctors have to eat too.. and have a lifestyle commiserate with being a doctor. Those commissions really help.

    Most people are over-medicated, and yet most medical professionals will tell you there isn’t any kick-backs.

    Real drug pushers wear lab coats and work in offices, not in some dark alley

    I used to ask my doc to prescribe whatever he had free samples of. Until he offered me birth control pills for my gut upset problem.

    Saw my dermatologist for a “private” area rash. She prescribed an ointment. The condition became chronic.

    That is the real power of capitalism.
