Prescription Drugs Do Not Cure Disease

While listening to Pandora this morning, I heard an advertisement for a new drug, marketed to parents, through the voice of a child.

This is a new topical medication for eczema and in the ending disclaimer, the spokesperson said: the “𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥.”

Wait.... What?

So we are advertising a drug, through the voice of a child, about a ‘remedy’ that who’s action is 𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧?

Sound familiar? Can you think of any other drug(s) being marketed to the public right now, particularly through MSM (mainstream media), that have not yet been fully vetted?

I concur that DTCA (direct to consumer advertising) has benefit. I am 100% on board with educated consumerism. My problem is that DTCA encourages the consumer to request a drug — without addressing the underlying cause, forgoing lifestyle modifications, without asking why, without sufficient knowledge to instill confidence in the drug’s recipient.

This puts the provider + client in a precarious position.

Most drugs marketed treat symptoms. Not underlying dysfunction. Sure, you may 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 better - but what other side effects are you collecting along the way?

Friends - I encourage you to ask why, to dig deep, to follow the dollars. The conventional narrative is flawed. It’s time to practice #GOODMEDICINE.
