Too Many Drugs? You Bet!

Americans filled some 60 million RXs for sleeping pills last year, up from 47 million in 06. If there were just 30 in each RX, we gulped down 1.8 BILLION pills. Do you think that's a lot of sleeping pills? 


Let's keep in mind that this data is ONLY about sleeping pills. There are hundreds of other drugs in a myriad of categories.


Drugs are the ONLY legal treatments for disease. That's harebrained, but true. The Diamond nut company recently received a letter from the FDA informing them to stop referring to the health benefits of their walnuts. If walnuts actually did what Diamond wrote, they would have to be considered a drug. Since Diamond has not gone threough the new drug application process and received FDA approval, their new drug (walnuts) cannot be marketed as such. 

 I KID YOU NOT.
