Comments on: Online Pharmacies: Dangerous Prescription?

Dr. Mallika Marshall Waves Caution Flag Over Buying Discounted Drugs Via The Web

[brainteaser2]

The idea is to find a reputable online pharmacy. Just like land based pharmacies there are good ones and bad ones. I have one that has an excellent customer department and has professionals available to answer questions. Like so much else on the internet you will find fraud.

Yea yea yea...doctors have no clue how to work with a speaker phone...sure...they''d love to prescribe medications to us and give us surgery when they deem it necessary...but can you really trust that your best interest is their interest-if they can''t use a speaker phone? No, I think not.

Wise up, doctors make their money from the drug company kickbacks and surgeries. They are afraid that should the general public diagnose and medicate themselves they''d be out of money for daily golf, tennis, rubbing elbows, driving fancy cars, raising obnoxious spoiled rotten kids, fancy houses, HOs galore, hoity-toity wives...

MY GAWD MAN, you can''t know your body better than a doctor!!!

I have minimal health insurance because I am self employed, so I pay for my prescriptions as well as the trips to my doctor to get her to write them. I make a decent amount of money, but a trip to the doc costs $200, and she constantly wants follow up visits. My health problems haven''t changed in years. It is always the same diagnosis and the same prescription. Why should I pay $200 a visit to find out what I already know? I do medical marketing and I have been in lots of meetings with doctors and hospitals and discussed with them ways to raise revenues. How to get people to use this or that piece of equipment. Take this or that test. I know they have to make a living and required visits and tests are the way they do that, but I don''t have the money to support them. I just want my blood pressure meds without having to hop up on the table and let them check it for the umpteenth time. I can check it at home. I know that these regs are the result of the AMA lobby because I have been in on discussions about just that. Annual checkups for EVERYTHING are bread and butter money to doctors. Unfortunately it is MY money. I have been buying the basics on line, and if I get sick or notice a change I will go to the doctor.

FACT: there are three licensed "super wholesalers" that supply ALL drugs to all the other distributers and retailers such as CVS.

FACT: Congress protects the three super wholesalers and has repeatedly refused to change the federal laws that allow these three companies to purchase drugs on the worls spot market. These companies are then allowed to erase all traces of where the drugs were purchased. That''s right there is a federal law that allows these companies to avoid all accountability for buying cheap drugs from who knows and then legitimizing them as if they had been produced in some reputable factory in this country.

FACT: Americans, because Concress protects the super three, has absolutely no quality controls on the drugs that are sold to us. Bush knows this and prevents the elderly from purchasing drugs from Canada because he is not sure how safe their drugs are. What a fat lie!

FACT: much of the really expensive stuff is purchased off of street urchines in Mylasia and China. Its all about maximum profits and donations to campaigns.

FACT: Congress holding hearinhs about tainted drugs from China is just a dance for the public. They all know how the game works and they will never clean up the drug supply chain so long as the money flows into their campaigns.

FACT: Americans are stupid fools to believe anything they are told by the most propagandist regime on earth.

Seems equally dangerous to those imported from Canada... or those made in China and exported to (likely Canada along with everywhere else.)

Free trade... in theory not a bad thing, but in practice it''s an even bigger mess.

"CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
We can''t say it strongly enough. Don''t diagnose your own illness and prescribe your own care. See a doctor, and get a prescription."

Yea, doctor told my Mom she had a bladder infection gave her medicine and 4 hours later she was DEAD from staff infection. Do not think that Doctors have the all the knowledge because they don''t and are money based just like the drug companies they work for.

People are using these foreign online pharmacies because of the unchecked GREED of the drug companies. The drug companies have the same level of responsibility as the oil companies. Both are interested in one thing, MONEY.

Why doesn''t this author protest the hundreds, no thousands of ads on TV for prescription drugs with the line "Ask your doctor if this krap is right for you". These ads are, in effect, encouraging people to diagnose themselves.

Does anyone pay attention to the side effects of these liver killing drugs? They should say, "Ask your UNDERTAKER if this poison is right for you".

Recent tests of some city water systems have shown the presence of all kinds of prescription drugs in the water. If you''re drinking municipally supplied water, you''re probably getting free drugs. What a deal!

Why do people even think that the answer to their problem is over priced side effect laden prescription drugs? There is a natural answer out there but why look? The uneducated deserve these poisons.

Canadian pharmacy is not a physically verifiable location or business, I have been trying to contact its so called sources in Don Mills-Toronto,and Its Marketing firms based in India.
Nothing seems to work to stop these pharmacy spams.
I can''t afford to lose business emails,while I have to go through 1000/day spams from Canadian Pharmacy * replica watches & designer shoes.
Any suggestions are welcome "info at impex-canada com"
