This is clearly demonstrated by the recent FDA action to ban Merck's pain killer, Vioxx. It was found out that Merck had bogus-ed the clinical trial results in order to win FDA approval to market the drug.
Not only was it not effective but it had serious sideeffects including the risk of heart attacks. All drugs just suppress symptoms; that is what Vioxx was supposed to do; suppress acute pain in arthritis patients.

Vioxx dose not cure the arthritic condition.
Pain is just the symptom of the condition.
Drugs do not treat the cause of the condition.

Pharmaceutical companies like Merck research to find drugs that suppress symptoms, and can be patented. The patent protects their right to sell the drug at a high price. Drug companies never discover cures for diseases, because amazingly they are not looking them. They are looking for expensive drug protocols that require repeat prescriptions. This repeat business creates a chain of money making opportunity . If the patient were cured, there would be no further need for treatments or drugs and�would end�this cash cow situation.�

Rather than take expensive pharmaceuticals that have health endangering side-effects; build your body's defenses with natural supplements that enhance your �immune system. For best results take supplements that have the required vitamins/minerals and herbal blends the promote healthy organs.

Takeaways
  • Merck bogused their clinical trials on Vioxx.
  • Drugs suppress symptoms, but do not effect cures.
  • All drugs have serious sife effects.
Did You Know?
Did you know that drugs often have side effects worse then the condition they attempt to treat.

Great article! Drugs ain't good. I have only used natural remedies to handle health problems for the last 20 years and they work. No side effects - quality of life. Drugs are not necessary. No FDA corruption involved - no danger involved.

Dear dr. Watermark, very interesting article! OK, than what do you suggest? Let the infection kill us?

Drugs classified to treat infections, like Penicillin, also kill the good bacteria causing serious intestinal problems in most users. Drugs do not address the cause of the infection. They just suppress the symptoms, like killing bacteria. The more important issue is, what is the cause of the infection.

your blanket statement about drugs not treating the cause of conditions in the body is incorrect and misleading, and dare i say, inflammatory (a little arthritic pun). in the case of some STDs and most bacterial infections, prescription drugs do actually cure the cause of the conditions that a person experiences. i'm sure there are other examples which would suffice to prove your blanket statement wrong...
