You need these pills to be healthy and happy. Madison Avenue and the pharmaceutical industry have worked together to create the great American need for pills.

The doctors are duethe problem?

I'm not going to thrash away on a legitimate medical use of the pill. Not entirely, but the great advances in medicine have really taken second place to the appeal of big profits. Pharmaceutical companies, clinics and hospitals to visit to sell their products to doctors. Take advantage of our drugs, no drugs is the message. Financial incentives may or may not for the doctor, depending on individual ethics. But ethics is the focus ofEdition.
