Is there a drug around for just about everything?

So it seems. Although whether they are actually effective is another story. Pharmaceutical companies seem to be heavily pimping out all these flashy new drugs that claim to fix any problem you may have. They heavily persuade the doctors who many of us blindly trust, to prescribe their medicine. Their commercials make life appear as it though is all happy and wholesome with good looking healthy people frolicking in parks and on beaches, making you feel like if you take this drug you could be one of them. Isn't there something a bit creepy how at the end of these commercials they read this long list of possible side effects in a really fast voice? As though if they say it fast enough we won't really pay attention to the fact that the medication could actually do you more harm than good. Many of the side effects apparently aren't even detected before they go on the market. Hundreds of thousands of people in the United States die every year from adverse drug reactions. I don't think all medication is evil but I do think that many of the problems that people are suffering from need to be looked at from a more holistic perspective. I understand wanting a fast and easy solution to take the pain away but the same disease can manifest so differently in each individual and therefore it doesn't make sense that can be one cure for all. So while they continue to create drugs for conditions we didn't even know existed, there still haven't really found a cure for conditions that are very prevalent in the U.S. such as cancer and other chronic diseases.
