I deliberately chose current events, activism, human rights because I truly believe that reasonable prescription medication prices should be right of everyone in every nation.

I and many other health consumers believe that cost of prescription medications are much too high. In fact general concensus is that they are grossly, unfairly expensive.

The truth is it is far from rare for people on fixed incomes to have to literally choose between food and their health!!! I think this is terrible and frankly I hope you do too.

It isn't just persons with limited incomes. It's also working class and middle class persons with no prescription plan or no health plan for that matter who have to suffer.

Now you might be thinking, sure I feel sorry for these folks, but I don't have to worry. My drugs are included in my plan. Well if your health care provider gives you a prescription for a medicine that isn't covered, well to put it politely, "tough toughies". Unless you're able and willing to pay sky rocketing prices you might as well forget it.

Fact: Health Maintenance Organizations all have a formulary. If your medication isn't on it they won't pay for it. Maybe if you ask for a special request they will but that's rather iffy.

Here's a few examples of how pharmaceutical companies rip off public. Television, popular magazine advertizing. Perhaps you've seen or read these ads. They make new drug sound like practically e ighth wonder of world. Notice they rarely mention prices.

Stunning breakthroughs in medical research demonstrate that you can literally feed your aching bones and joints exactly what they need to move more freely and with less discomfort. Taking certain nutrients to eliminate discomfort, rebuilding deteriorating join structures, and restore freedom of movement is rapidly moving into mainstream medical consciousness. Long overdue but still not fast enough... In fact doctors at Johns Hopkins have developed a "bone/joint diet? That they believe can help alleviate burden of stiff, inflamed joints. (Diet to follow)

Although denied by medical profession for last three decades, diet does influence your pain... Prior to denial phase of medicine it was and in some circles still a known factor that certain foods and drinks trigger certain problems. For instance, Joint problems have been found to be exacerbated by use of alcohol, liver and other organ meats. The most famous joint problem recognized is "Gout," even though pharmaceutical companies have tried to convince world this is not true, it certainly is and gout suffers who have had direct results of those foods will tell you... Chemicals concocted by pharmaceutical industry does help with a few cases but digestive system is suffering affects as well as liver and kidneys which have to filter out foreign matter in body! As we get older our digestive system does not work as fast nor as thorough as it needs to and therefore medications can create as many or more problems than they help!
