FDA SAYS "TO HELL WITH DOCTORS!" SELF MEDICATE!

Well, the FDA (Flippin' Dumb Asses) considers Americans to be too stupid to make their own dietary choices. But when pharmaceuticals are involved, the FDA apparently believes individuals should be able to completely self-medicate themselves without a prescription, having recently proposed new guidelines that would make it easier than ever for patients to access high-risk prescription drugs without even having to see a doctor.

The Washington Times reports that a new four-page proposal made by the FDA suggests that cholesterol (statins), diabetes, and asthma drugs, among others, be made available over-the-counter (OTC) to patients without a prescription. And what is the reason for this? According to the agency, too many patients are not getting their prescriptions filled, and many would-be patients are not going in to receive the treatments that their medical overlords feel they should be receiving.

QUACKBUSTERS, SKEPTICS AND EXPERTS!

Hey Howdy Hey! The "quackbuster" operation is a conspiracy. It's a propaganda enterprise, one part crackpot, two parts evil.  Its sole purpose is to discredit, and suppress, in an "anything goes" attack mode, what is wrongfully named "Alternative Medicine." It has declared war on reality. The conspirators are acting in the interests of, and are being paid, directly and indirectly, by the "conventional" medical-industrial complex. Remember Mercury and fluoride for instance are not poisons for skeptics, and anyone who thinks they are must clearly be a conspiracy nut.
     Vaccination is good for you, as are chemotherapy and radiation cancer treatments offered by conventional medicine. If you oppose either of them you are simply a 'quack' or at the least you are an easy target for those who take advantage of your stupidity. Besides, there is NO such thing as the mind-body connection!
     The practices of alternative medicine, including "chiropractic, the placebo effect, homeopathy, acupuncture, and the questionable benefits of organic food, detoxification, and ‘natural’ remedies" are a favorite subject of the skeptics. They know that only mainstream medicine should be relied on and everyone who is into those practices really needs to have their head examined.

Call me a Quack!

WHEN BIG PHARMA WHISTLES, LOOK OUT!

Hey Howdy Hey! Looks like Big Pharma's been "bearwy bearwy" busy! When they whistle, the DEA comes runnin'! Did you know that US pharmacies dispensed the equivalent of 69 tons of pure oxycodone (used as ingredient in OxyContin, Percocet, and Percodan) and 42 tons of pure hydrocodone (used in Vicodin, Norco, and Lortab). That’s enough to give forty 5-milligram Percocets and twenty-four 5-milligram Vicodins to every single person in the United States. Sounds like my kind of party! Oh, but the hangover! Guess I'd rather stay sober and read a good book! But then again, think of the FUN we could have! Gotta love Big Pharma!
