EVERY , E-V-E-R-Y!!!!! DRUG IS A POISON TO THE BODY!!!!!!! EVERY DRUG DAMAGES THE BODY. ALL ILLNESSES CAN BE CURED WITHOUT DRUGS. IN FACT, NO ILLNESS CAN BE CURED BY ANY DRUG!!!!" Randy Gomberg: Perhaps some research would be beneficial before making ignorant comments such as this. Im sure your tune would be different if you were lying in hospital dying of cancer. The idea that every drug is a poison to the body is at best amusing. In fact every common compound can be toxic, even water. The level of toxicity simply depends on dose. Drugs, when used properly, CAN cure disease and ARE beneficial to society. You also promote the benefits of natural medicines. Again i find this amusing as most natural medicine techniques that actually work rely on plant preperations. These are actually drugs, just in a leaf and not in a pill. This makes your comments just a little contradictary. Let me put a hypothetical to you. Your lying in hospital, with an infected cut on your leg. The doctor tells you he can cure it with "barbaric drugs" such as a simple antibiotic, or he can get kirk and bones off star trek to come and cure it for you; using "natural" techniques of old. Such as amputation. Which would you use? “THERE IS NOT A SINGLE DRUG ON THIS PLANET THAT IS GOOD FOR ANYTHING!!!! EVERY , E-V-E-R-Y!!!!! DRUG IS A POISON TO THE BODY!!!!!!!

I escaped the medical matrix several years ago and I just shake my head at the Brave New World that has been created in my lifetime. I will be blunt: THERE IS NOT A SINGLE DRUG ON THIS PLANET THAT IS GOOD FOR ANYTHING!!!! EVERY , E-V-E-R-Y!!!!! DRUG IS A POISON TO THE BODY!!!!!!! EVERY DRUG DAMAGES THE BODY. ALL ILLNESSES CAN BE CURED WITHOUT DRUGS. IN FACT, NO ILLNESS CAN BE CURED BY ANY DRUG!!!! When you study and apply natural healing techniques, which truly work, you begin to realize the madness of modern medicine. It reminds me of that scene in Star Trek 4, when Kirk & Bones are rescuing Chekov from a hospital back in the 20th Century, and Bones overhears 2 surgeons discussing contemporary techniques. He yells at them: barbarism!!! It's barbaric. THAT IS THE STATE OF "MODERN" MEDICINE ON THIS PLANET TODAY. And the real crime is how the PR, marketing and advertising arms of the pharmo-medico industry has almost everybody brainwashed. THIS is the real crisis of health care today, not the cost, but the sham that passes for "healing"!

COX-2 inhibitors were introduced with the explicit claims that they do not carry the risk of gastric bleeding like common NSAIDs and are better performing. The PR departments of these companies bring on TV a couple or few patients and show-case them as the living proof of their 'better' product. There are hundreds of remedies out there that works like a magic for certain patients but they do not become a 'celebrity' and do not make billions. Now, we are dealing with not only the gastric bleeding but also the added risks of other potentially fatal diseases. Nevertheless, these companies have already made billions in profits at the expense of patients. Our age-old Aspirin is still a champion in this arena if used properly and is dirt-cheap.
