THE PILLS WE TAKE
A recent medical seminar disclosed some sensational data: up to 60% of pills
that we swallow are utterly ineffective. Furthermore, drug manufactures invent
nonexistent diseases in order to maintain their profits.
Nearly half of Moscow residents use nootropil to stimulate their brain
function: with the current hectic rhythm of life the little gray cells need
additional support. And the brains are working better. But it isn’t nootropil that
does the trick. At least,Prof. Pavel Vorobyev, MD, head of the Hematology and
Geriatrics Department at the I.M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy argues:
nootropes – extracts from cattle blood – have no effect whatsoever. Also
ineffective are numerous ointments that are offered by drug manufactures in
abundance. Last year the Una cream became a subject of special research, which
showed that it had a zero effect.
The situation with vitamins is even worse. Pavel Vorobyev has credible
evidence suggesting that 60% of vitamins on the market are ineffective. Their
producers without a twinge of conscience cash in on our desire to keep up with
the civilized world in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. Meanwhile, doctors advise
people not to succumb to the latest craze and use vitamins in natural form –
fresh fruit and vegetables.
Over the past 10 or 15 years pharmaceutical giants have felt rather
depressed. They have tapped the market to the full and now there seems to be no
more growth potential for them. True, there are still a dozen or so diseases that
humankind, try as it might, has been unable to find a cure for. After long
consideration manufacturers came to a “wise” conclusion: to get on they need to
invent new diseases. “First a drug is created and then a disease is invented to
match. It’s an absurdity, which has become the norm and an effective marketing
policy,” Prof. Pavel Vorobyev says.
