Dreamy, soft background music with a womens soft voice narrating.   Lulling you into an almost hypnotic state, to ignore the side effects warning?   Then 10 seconds of what the medicine can do (positive results) and 50 seconds of side effects (negative) enough to not want to risk taking it.   They solve one health issue, create others.   Some of the side effects listed for certain meds-Stroke, heart failure, diarrhea,hives,dizziness upon standing, etc.   Then you may need another pill to combat the side effects.   Makes one wonder if the cure is worse than the disease.   This thread has no known side effects.

In 99% of these commercials it sure seems like it

How about the new one I saw for the first time today BED - Binge Eating Disorder https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/binge-eating-disorder

I think I have this problem, at least after reviewing the list of symptoms mentioned on the commercial.
I might need to get the drugs being push by the drug companies.



I think I am going to push the following idea to some big pharma company.

Consistent Retort to Annoying People

Aka CRAP – If you have problems with CRAP see your doctor and ask about Earplugacia. Earplugacia typically blocks out the sounds of annoying people and quiets most of those who are getting on your nerves. Allowing you to avoid offensive replies and arguments.

Should not be taken by those who are driving or operating any equipment that needs all your senses. Side effect include a buildup of earwax, noises when chewing and failure to hear orders and commands which could led to job termination jail or divorce depending on the filtered party. Do not take Earplugacia before crossing the street since this may result in serious injury or death.

My mother never had restless leg syndrome until she starting watching the commercials selling the medicine for the condition.

drugs don't CURE.....they alleviate symptoms.....or so they claim.......

you have chest pain with a heart attack, get drugs to alleviate the pain by stopping the heart attack but depending on the underlying
cause of the heart attack you get an intervention that may or may not prevent future chest pain from preventing future heart attacks....

no cures, just diversions.....

this is the difference between health care vs medical care vs medical insurance.........


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
