Drugged Into Oblivion

 My wife and I had the TV on a few nights ago.  It seemed that most of the commercials were for drugs.  When the voice reads real fast at the end warning of possible side effects?…it’s almost comical if it wasn’t so serious.  “May cause drowsiness, loss of appetite, suicidal thoughts, involuntary muscle spasms that may be permanent, diarrhea, loss of bowel control, blood clots and severe depression.”  At which point my wife and I will say, “But you’ll have clearer skin!”

Rumor has it that RFK is going to push to make drug commercials on TV illegal, just like they did for cigarette commercials.  We will see.  But the world is certainly being set up for what Revelation calls “pharmakia”, the Greek word for “magic arts”, from which we derive our word “pharmacy”.

***************************

Americans watch more television than anyone else in the world, and as we watch television we are constantly being bombarded by commercials from pharmaceutical companies.  As I discussed in a previous article, pharmaceutical companies spend more than 15 billion dollars on television advertising each year.  The reason they do this is because it works.  We are the most drugged nation in the history of the world, and the pharmaceutical companies are absolutely swimming in cash.

According to polling that was conducted by KFF, a whopping 61 percent of all U.S. adults admit that they are currently taking at least one pharmaceutical drug.

That is a solid majority of the population.

And once they have you on one drug, they are much more likely to be able to get you on another.

The KFF survey found that 13 percent of U.S. adults are taking one pharmaceutical drug.

The KFF survey found that 11 percent of U.S. adults are taking two pharmaceutical drugs.

The KFF survey found that 10 percent of U.S. adults are taking three pharmaceutical drugs.

And most shocking of all, the KFF survey found that 27 percent of U.S. adults are taking at least four pharmaceutical drugs.

That means that more than a quarter of the adult population is currently on at least four prescription medications.

That is insane!

But this is where we are at as a society.

Elderly Americans are the biggest victims.  One study found “that an estimated 89 percent of older adults” took at least one prescription medication within the past 12 months.

Even if you aren’t sick, the system is designed to find a reason why you should become a customer of the big pharmaceutical companies.
