Talking about the benefits of DRibose and heart health with some members on another health group, one member talks about objecting to Dr. Sinatra et al selling supps and books etc. Another member got into the dialogue and went on about the prescription drug world outragous prices. Think about it, once many of us get on drugs and I'm one of them with BP meds, it can be a lifetime of profits for you know who. This person posted some links about the history on a lot of this. And yes I know everyone NEEDS to make profits, but some are so extreme.
http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2014/08/...eeds-stop.html http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/12/bu...anted=all&_r=0 The conversation was about how much DRibose has helped a person with horrid fatigue. Sounds like the heart needed energized. I'm not a ball of energy but could be much worse I believe if not for the DRibose I take daily. Take care all. Keep very open minds and question everything . |

I only take my BP medicine when I feel it's going up. I use an inhaler too. I stopped going to another drug store because they charged me an outrageous amount for both meds. I can't afford both. So I have to chose. It's breathing or lowering my BP. These insurance company squeezes you all they can. I will not give up food. That's where the money comes from, my food budget. We're all getting squeezed, it's a crying shame.
All I see on the TV is insurance ads. It's pounded into you. Boy, are they making it. I go to the doctor once a year and it takes me all year just to pay that off. It's a balancing act. I can't pay for my last hospital stay. They took me by force and kept me for two weeks. They would NOT let me go home. |

New Cystic Fibrosis drug and my friend tells me her niece is turned down for it and she's in a battle with her insurance company. The drug costs the patient/insurance over $300K per year. But it could save her niece's life. Sounds like mega profiteering going on. To save a life...

My inhaler went up $10. in one month. Guess I'll have to wean myself off of it.
