Like the fashion industry with it’s regular changes in style, the drug industry makes its profits on the newest drugs rather than on the older ones-and not just any profit, sickening, (pardon the pun), profits.
In 2002, the combined profits ($35.9 billion) of the ten largest drug companies in the Fortune 500 were more than the combined profits ($33.7 billion) of the remaining 490 companies together.
One might assume that the profits of 490 of the largest companies in the world would be substantially more than just 10 companies in one commercial field.
It does seem there is a Shit load of profit in disease management as opposed to disease prevention.
Might these companies have a vested interest in keeping us sick? Think about it, there is no profit in health.
Stop digging your own grave with your teeth and start to look to prevention, it is far cheaper than the cost of disease.
