...Warning: This pill causes cancer, liver failure, and other fatal events.

This isn't a joke or an exaggeration but a real ad for some anti-arthritis pain pill ad'ed on CNN. Watching these commercials critically now, I note most all of them have fatal side effects. This wouldn't be so bad if what the med is for was itself fatal, but they seem to be for relatively minor thing including treatment of itchy toe fungus or everyone's personal fave made-up complaint, restless leg syndrome.

Maybe it's not that we're getting sicker because of bad diets, but we're being convinced we're sicker because now there's a pill to treat every little thing.

Which medication do you speak of?

Progressive auto immune diseases are debilitating and life altering.

Google around for it if curious. I just tried and couldn't find it. Sorta surprising to me, but there's more drug hits than porn.

I wanted to know if you are talking about a specific medication?

You brought it up.

I think they use a standard disclaimer on every medication there is now just to avoid lawsuits but I say better living through chemicals if they work

Slightly off topic. Any and all patent expired medications available over the counter are both effective and very safe or they couldn't be sold that way.

Some diseases can be helped a little by nutrition. But there are some diseases that respond to nothing but having the immune system stop it's destructive actions on the body.

definitely complicated and most importantly we all have our own individual ways of responding to food and medicine. Ads make it sounds as if one size fits all.

If you have an older parent be informed about their meds and on top of whether they are taking them properly and whether they should be mixed and matched.
