The Doc is claiming that 99% of depression cases don't need meds and that depression meds come with serious side effects that there's no good reason for - i.e., the pills are a scam. I would go one step further our whole medical community has been duped by Pharm companies over the last 30 years and patients are paying the price both physically and financially. As an example consider that statins are a $30 billion/yr industry. Not only have they not been proven effective, it's claimed they are simply synthetic vitamin D! http://www.doctorsaredangerous.com/articles/statin.htm http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_04/b4068052092994.htm More books and info here: Overdosed America http://www.amazon.com/Overdosed-America-Promise-American-Medicine/dp/0061344761/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218992551&sr=8-1 Selling Sickness: How the World's Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies Are Turning Us All Into Patients http://www.amazon.com/Selling-Sickness-Pharmaceutical-Companies-Patients/dp/156025856X/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218992551&sr=8-2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266017 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
