Question by Cranky Old Goat: Why have Americans Become a Quick Fix Pharmaceutical Society instead of Alternative/Homeopathic Treatments?
I don’t mean Drug Companies or Doctors.
They are in it for the Money.
WOW,
Another couple of good points I didn’t think of.
My best friend is a doctor and we have some interesting talks on this subject.
Just las tnight I was talkin’ to a Local Cop Friend about one of his friends with terminal cancer getting very sick after Chemo. Tossed the pain pills and used you know what. Sometimes we “gotta” look the other way.

Best answer:

Answer by mystylazuli
Because pharmacutical companies have lots of money and keep it that way through bureucratic legislation and laws and lobbying and Americans are mostly shallow and follow the masses. Remember the witch hunts of Salem? Americans associate herbal health and remedies with witchcraft and Satan….they have Christianized medicine.

    I sure hope that medicine has not been christianized. As for the quick fix thing, well no one wants to wait for anything for anymore it seems. The drugs offer that to everyone, look at the popularity of anti depressants… Ridiculous, now everyone and their infants are depressed.
    Please don’t get me wrong there, I believe that lots of people are depressed, but I also can not believe that drugs actually make it better, they are just covering up the problems. Making you feel numb so you can get on with life. HA
    This is an issue that really gets to me, I have been ill for many years and after so much bs I was diagnosed with MS. Now, I receive disability payments monthy and receive medicare. Guess what? They won’t pay for the less expensive, less dangerous natural treatments, like acupuncture.
    It is ridiculous to me that something that works, maybe not for everyone or for everything, can not be covered. But the drugs that I need to take daily which are very expensive, cause their own set of problems that then need to rely on new medications.
    What a ridiculous cycle perpetuated by our government and those in the medical community, not necessarily the docs but the big business insurance companies…… time for them to go
