Prepare to be slapped silly.  Listen to perfectly calm, sane, credible people from the medical industry, including industry and government officials, insiders, victims, doctors, pharmaceutical sales reps etc., give you the plain truth about the FDA and it's inextricable relationship with big Pharma, medical schools and pretty near every doctor in sight. It's a Capitalistic Mafia Style Monopoly strangling our health care system to death.  They're not just playing with our health, they're sacrificing it in the name of big, big profits. 

Are they just a bunch of heavy handed thugs who are more interested in keeping us sick than keeping us well?  In hiding the truth about the abundant and shocking harm they cause (at the rate of a million people a year)?  Are they routinely obstructing justice to keep on getting rich?  Are they actually taking steps to make sure we won't be able to get healthy, so we'll be stuck taking their grody pills for the rest of our lives?  It sure looks like it.  Decide for yourself after seeing this excellent expose', revealing the best kept secret of American healthcare...namely, we could sure use some.

Prescription for Disaster is an in-depth investigation into the symbiotic relationships between the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA,  lobbyists, lawmakers, medical schools, and researchers, and the impact this has on consumers and their health care. During this thorough investigation, we take a close look at patented drugs, why they are so readily prescribed by doctors, the role insurance companies and HMO's play in promoting compliance, and the problem of rising health care costs. We examine the marketing and public relations efforts on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies, including sales reps, medical journals and conferences. Further, we look at alternatives to traditional pharmacology and drug therapy, such as vitamins and nutritional supplements, and why they are often perceived as a competitive threat to the drug manufacturers. Alternative therapies also include diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle.

Prescription for Disaster takes you on a journey through the tangled web of big business, the way disease is treated today, and the consequences we suffer as a society.
