Big Pharma, Money Before Health

     Our health system here in United States is flawed due to its being controlled by the pharmaceutical companies.  I know this is a very strong statement however, I'm going to give you an example of what I'm talking about.  This information I'm going to relate to you is actually from the mouths of doctors.
     There's a drug out there that's been used for heroin addicts for quite some time and has been approved by the FDA  for the use of helping heroin addicts get off of heroin, this drug is known as Naltrexone.   There has been studies out there done with low dose naltrexone  with wonderful results  in helping people with autoimmune diseases.   Several different doctors have done studies with this low dose naltrexone yet, it has not been approved by the FDA for anything other than  heroin addicts.
     LDN ( low dose naltrexone) has shown to have  marked improvements with people  with emphysema or COPD,  HIV/AIDS and many different cancers.    It is also shown to have marked improvements for people with autoimmune diseases such as: ALS,  Alzheimer's disease,  autism, hereditary spastic paraparesis,  multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's,  post traumatic stress  disorder,  primary lateral sclerosis, progressive super nuclear palsy, transverse mellitus,  and a long list of other autoimmune diseases like: chronic fatigue syndrome,  fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis to name a few.
   In spite of all the people who have had LDN given to them for their serious health problems and are giving it wonderful praise, this drug is not approved for anything other than  helping heroin addicts. Why you might ask?  The pharmaceutical companies are not willing to do any studies for this drug for the simple fact that it's going to be a low dose usage which means they will make very little money from it.  Believe me when I say it's always about money. In using low dose naltrexone
for cancer, they are looking to lose about $250 billion dollars, if not more, a year on chemo and radiation therapy alone that would not be used anymore.  It's just not good business, it's the moral thing to do,  however,  morality has nothing to do with good business. 
     Keep in mind the big Pharma companies have some of the best lobbyists in the nation  that are constantly whispering  in our  politicians ears. You would think the news media would be having a frenzy about this, the only problem is they are extremely bias when it comes to who is flipping the bill to run their shows, that money comes from pharmaceutical commercials. All the news channels 
would be looking at a great economical loss if the pharmaceutical companies were to pull their commercials due to the fact that the news was working against them.
      It is a broken system, we can't get even get drugs past to help ailing people. It shouldn't be about money, it should be about health.
       The only side effect these people have had from this drug is very vivid dreams, some good, some bad.
      We must find a way to fix our health care system or change the name from health care to money care, at least that would be honest.  Let's face the facts shall we, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY.
