Every day we see advertisements on the television regarding a new “miracle drug” which will cure some common ailment that many of us suffer. Interesting how there is always a disclaimer at the end of the ad regarding all the numerous side effects of this new drug. The disclaimer is often lengthy and the announcer speaks so fast that you barely catch all that is said. 

 

How many Americans are falling for this advertisement, which tells you to ask your doctor about the drug? How many Americans are questioning all these side effects? How can the FDA approve so many drugs when there are such serious side effects from so many of them? How much power do the drug companies have anyway?
