(...) Did you ever wonder how much it costs a drug company for the active

ingredient in prescription medications? Some people think it must cost a

lot, since many drugs sell for more than $2.00 per tablet. We did a search of

offshore chemical synthesizers that supply the active ingredients found in

drugs approved by the FDA. As we have revealed in past issues of " Life

Extension, " a significant percentage of drugs sold in the United State contain

active ingredients made in other countries. In our independent

investigation of how much profit drug companies really make, we obtained the

actual

price of active ingredients used in some of the most popular drugs sold in

America. The chart below speaks for itself.

 

 

Celebrex 100 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $130.27 Cost of general

active ingredients: $0.60 Percent markup: 21,712%

 

 

Claritin 10 mg Consumer Price (100 tablets): $215.17 Cost of general

active ingredients: $0.71 Percent markup: 30,306%

Since the cost of prescription drugs is so outrageous, I thought everyone

I knew should know about this. (...) Well we all know the drug companies

make obscene profits but little did I know just how obscene they really are

when it comes to ripping off an ever increasing number of sick people in the

world.Isn't it about time we all started to protest about the power that

vested interests have over our lives. Start by becoming an organic consumer

and get all chemicals and drugs if possible, out of your life. Only then

will you start to appreciate what natural good health is all about.
