Great post @steemtruth and yes to big pharma we are a potential revenue source from birth the death. Indeed it's difficult for people to understand how ruthless some (certainly not all) people at the top end of this industry can be. They make huge amounts of money from us being sick and as such the sicker we are the more money they make. There is only so much medicine that a human can possibly need or safely take and yet their entire business model revolves around people consuming more and more drugs with each passing year, where does it end?

The drugs themselves are used to treat specific problems, but the treatment of said problems are often at the detriment of other aspects of our health. You may not notice the connection at the time, but you end up taking a pill for one condition which damages another aspect of your health. And so then you take another medicine for the new condition and from there it begins to snowball. It snowballs to the point where you're literally taking handfuls of pills to simply exist and are akin to a big pharma cash cow. Great work my friend!!
