I know this because I'm a pharmacy technician, studying to be a pharmacist.<br /><br />But worse than unnecessary, they are often times very dangerous and even deadly! Like all the antidepressants that lead to suicide. Or the fact that 70% of chemotherapy patients die from the chemo (compared to the 30% to 40% who die from untreated cancer).<br /><br />Sanitation and hand-washing alone caused lifespan to lengthen and diseases to end in the 1940s, a decade before antibiotics and immunizations existed, yet the pharmaceutical companies (and my pharmacy class teachers) still claim that the drugs were the cause of the positive change.<br /><br />Truly amazing that the drugs were effective a decade or two before they were invented! **sarcasm**<br /><br />The best advance in the 20th Century was sanitation, especially indoor plumbing that took waste outside of the house and living areas. Washing hands, killing rats and disposing of menstrual cloths also helped stop the spread of 19th Century diseases like cholera, typhoid, dysentery, H1N1 and polio ...... all things laid out in the OLD TESTAMENT thousands of years before man understood why God told them to do it.<br /><br />The Jews have followed Old Testament sanitation guidelines for centuries, and they were not effected by the plagues that ravaged 1/3 of the European population.<br /><br />God has always been smarter than us. :DForesternoreply@blogger.com
