Is Your Doctor Moonlighting--As a Drug Rep?

By Dr. Mercola

Is Your Doctor Moonlighting--As a Drug Rep?

“Dateline” went looking for some answers and has the results of a year-long

investigation into what may be one of the biggest medical deceptions in history.

Most people don't know that doctors can legally prescribe any drug to any

patient for any condition.

Drug companies then take advantage of this fact and bypass the FDA restrictions

by paying doctors to promote " off-label " and frequently inappropriate and

non-tested uses of these medications.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

The bottom line here is that if you are relying on prescription drugs to keep

you healthy, you are likely headed for some problems sooner or later. Drug side

effects are often worse than the condition it was prescribed for, and as the

above article says, your doctor may be prescribing drugs based on drug-company

marketing rather than the patient’s best interest.

It sure seems more logical to boost your health naturally by cleaning up your

diet, exercising and reducing stress. You will be amazed at how much difference

following the nutrition plan and The No-Grain Diet can make in your energy

levels, weight and overall sense of well-being. But you don’t have to just take

my word for it, check out the nutrition plan and try it for yourself.
