medicidal maniacs

It is my belief that many drug companies are using medicine to reduce population in excess. For example, many medicines do not cure. They only provide relief of symptoms, but at a very high price. Not just in lives, but also in money.

HEXium, the infamous Purple Pill® is use for heartburn relief cause by acid reflux which is an unpleasant pain. This esomeZAPrazone, it is used to treat GERD when stomach acid is excessive. The active ingredient is esomeprazole magnesium. Medicine is produce by astral zeneca. It is classed as a proton pump inhibitor and has many side effects that are worse. Well, some are mild such as drowsiness and nausea. However, some are severe. It is dangerous to take nexium. The rate of heart attacks goes up.

First off it does not effect a cure. Merely masks the symptoms of GERD. It can cause an irregular heart beat due to blocking the proton pump. Why is it still in use? It generates close to five billion in profit and that is a lot of money.
