First you act all offended at sophomoric humor in a forum where sophomoric humor is the norm.
Now I treat you as a serious (yet losing) debate opponent and you resort to mother comments?
Which is it? Serious debate, or yo momma?

Make up your mind, fool!

......my point is that before anyone starts thinking that it's the bees knees it would be wise to have a look under the hood....a real good look.....i was half asleep there....no, i doubt if private companies can find as many worthless paper shufflers,though the money goes to profit,and there are always pressures to cut costs to that end....

As I said, the grass is always greener. I can testify to the fact that there are plenty of worthless paper pushers, red tape, and redundant processes here. My favorite thing here is to get prescribed medicine by your doctor, then when you look around you notice that all of her office supplies have that company's name on it. Not to mention the catered lunch that's sitting over on the table. Do you really need that medicine? You'll never know.

Exactly. There's a reason every "pharmaceutical company representative" looks like they're on their way to the set of a fairly well funded pornographic film shoot.

Even worse I think is that some good medicines never get a chance in the market because larger companies can exert so much pressure on physicians to use their particular drug. Then it becomes embedded in the physician's mind that it is the best protocol. I worked with youth groups packaging stuff up for World Medical Relief for a few years - incredible amounts of name brand drugs from smaller pharmaceutical companies go to 3rd world countries. Even expired stuff - if you make $2 a month you'll take 10 year old dog deworming pills to[hopefully] get better.

As a slight side note - it's estimated more than 50%+ of all pharmeceutical pills never get absorbed, get crapped out. Frequently whole.

Along with many vitamin pills, they are collectively known as "bedpan bullets".....for good reason.

And a good reason to throw your pills into a smoothie. Although, that tastes like ****. Might as well just eat from the bedpan.:vomit:

A smoothie is a good idea because it adds something for the crushed up pills to bind to and assist in absorption. It's probably even more beneficial to just crush 'em up and snort 'em.:woot:

Ok, you want to get sick about it..... my late father would crush any supplements that were minerals and wait for them to dissolve, then mix with his food.:vomit::vomit::vomit: Poor ****er needed to die after that.
