Marketing Disease and Pushing Drugs, 1/7

March 23 11 Comments Category: Marketing

http://www.encognitive.com Doctors might not be crazy about the idea, but patients are walking into their offices asking for specific drugs. They have heard about them on TV or read about them in magazines. Askier travels blissfully down a mountain of ragweed, his skis in perfect position as pollen scatters across a parched mountain landscape. Quick–is this an advertisement for weed killer, a new type of skiing, or an allergy drug? Unless you've stayed away from magazines and TV this year …

  2. In “Middlemarch” by …
    In “Middlemarch” by George Eliot (written in the mid 1800s) one of the main characters is a doctor, he opposes the drug trend that was blossoming and says drugs “undermine the constitution” of the human body. I couldn’t agree more. Doctors and “scientists” in fact know little about the body, yet they think they can manipulate it with synthetic chemicals. Respect your body, don’t abuse it with drugs.

  5. Drugs instead of …
    Drugs instead of curative/preventative measures kept me undiagnosed and now in4th stage renal failure. Caused by a disease I accurately diagnosed myself with after 35 yrs I had to go fromSpokane to Seattle to finally have confirmation. Pharmeceuticals KILL. By the way deprssion is not most often an illness, it is part of the hiuman condition and people for hundreds of years worked through it. A pill ? No wonder our society has been ‘retarded’!!!

    LOL. You’re braver that I could ever be. :-)

    When my doc asked me to take drugs, I just grinned inside and said to myself, “Don’t burst out laughing. Hold it, hold it…until you get outside…” :-)

    It used to be illegal for drug companies to have Direct to Consumer (DTC) advertising, but this changed in 1997 when the FDA started allowing it. I never saw all these drug ads on tv and in magazines until then.

  11. I keep seeing the …
    I keep seeing the pharmaceutical trade commercial on CNN. The one where they go around America in a huge bus with a humongous pill bottle emblazoned on both sides of the bus. They make stops at troubled areas and hand out food, clothing and other necessities to people in need.

    These commercials make me want to throw up–not what is being done but who is doing it. Publicity stunt.

    If they want to help people, stop selling their dangerous pills to the public.
