The Cult of Big Pharma

Of course the grape Kool-Aid connotation comes from the Peoples Temple cult who committed mass suicide by drinking poison laced grape Kool-Aid. But there are chilling analogies to our current society.  

We make decisions based on the information we are given without questioning the sources.  We buy certain foods and take certain supplements and drugs because we are told we should and because it is popular.  We take prescriptions because everyone else is doing it and we accept it will always be so. But if we listen, somewhere inside each of us is a misgiving 'heart" - a visceral "voice" which rises from a place subconscious and autonomic and it's trying to save itself.

The truth is, the toxic agents in our food and in our environment may act more slowly than cyanide.  But the results are just as certain.  Over time,  health degrades and life is ruined.  

Preposeterous?  How can that be? Surely, those we honor and respect would not knowingly cause us harm!  

But what if some best intentions are unintentionaly lethal? And what if other entities are purposely malicious, to further their selfish interests?

Most of all - What if, because you know no better, or go along with the crowd, YOU are inadvertently misleading your loved ones?  

It's true. The Foods you eat and the Environment you live in cause and/or exacerbating the very chronic illnesses treated by the pills everyone seems to be taking these days. Even many "vitamins" are actually nothing but chemical imitations of the natural componds now.
