Prescription Drugs Scam

Don’t Be Hooked On Prescription Drugs

Remember when there used to be gas stations at every intersection? Today, they’ve been replaced by pharmacies. A government study showed more than 40 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug and the number continues to rise. Does that mean 40 percent of us are sick? And if we’re taking all these medicines, wouldn’t you think we’d all be healthier?

Drug companies have become very good at the art of advertising and marketing. They market to you and they market to your doctor.

So how are we supposed to know the difference between a medicine that hypes and one that helps?

Suzy Cohen is one of the most unique pharmacists in America. She thinks outside the pill. And she couldn’t believe how uniformed many doctors are. She did some digging, some research and some testing. The results were startling. Many of the medicines you’re taking, and paying big bucks for, are unnecessary.

She wanted to shout it to the world. She wrote to 200 newspapers, offering to write columns, give suggest advice, alternatives. She got 200 rejection notices. She finally got a community paper near her home to give her a shot. Her message spread like wildfire and before long she was nationally syndicated.

Her straightforward presentation is eye-opening. Her message is a refreshing change. Her voice is growing by leaps and bounds. Anyone on prescription medication now has an advocate. You now have someone who’s opinions you can trust. She says it best.

“You have natural options, it’s not just about medication radiation and surgery. I’m not saying bypass your doctor, of course not, but I want people to understand they have more options than what they doctor may be telling them. There are some valuable medicines but some are silly, and I’m not afraid to point that out.”
