Thanks for posting that. Everyone who doesn't already know, should be made aware of what drives the pharm industry-- it's nothing less than money...

A good reason to be wary when your doc takes out his/her little pad and also an obvious explanation for why some meds are being researched thoroughly (potential patented money makers) and others are not (no potential for patent, no potential for profits).

Our health has nothing to do with it.
