Health Website is deceiving you
Great article to read
BUSTED: This Popular "Independent" Health Website is deceiving you
Exert
In a shocking report published earlier this year, BNET exposed how WebMD's online test for depression is rigged for profit:
"Feeling depressed? Cheer yourself up by taking WebMD's comical new depression test.
It's sponsored by Eli Lilly (LLY) — maker of the antidepressant Cymbalta – so they must know what they're talking about, right?
In fact, no matter which of the 10 answers you choose on the test, the result comes out the same:
You may be at risk for major depression."
Full article is found BELOW please read even if it doesn’t TICKLE your particular interest.
Dr Marcola is a down to earth guy that always presents both sides fairly IMO he has allot to offer when it comes to our health AND general nutrition .JMHO something that us TMSers usually overlook when applying the Mind body connection.

I am posting this for the benefit of those who seek to get off drugs understand the consequences. I am sure most of you area ready aware of the dangers in taking these drugs. And the cycle they play in never getting to the underlying condition. As most mainstream Drs only treat symptoms NOT the underlying condition.
We all know that Taking Rx drugs while trying to do the work of TMS can be helpful, (I believe this was state in his first 2 books) However there must come a time within our recovery that we no longer depend on these drugs.
What I wanted to share was there is always an alternative to drugs and medications IMO there are many ways to get relief from a wide variety of conditions by use of common sense and general nutrition .I believe if we start from the ground up as we apply a more natural approach and give our bodies what it needs it will ultimately assist in the healing.
In My last plight to try to get relief from Back pain was to be put on Nerontin (sp?) DANGERIOUS STUFF
It WAS NOT a fun ride ,I almost Died in what it did to me . I am so Glad that at that Time I was already exposed and open to the Work of Dr Sarno .
This was AFTER being in a pain cycle for 22 years with no where else to go. Prior to that I had already rejected any consideration for surgery After 22 years of Chiropractic and orthopedic Docs, I was left with no other choice and ended up at the pain institute for injections. Btw this was after 6 months to a year of intense physical therapy. Well today I have to Give praise to God, give thanks to Dr Sarno , this group . In addition I must mention good old common sense, by listening to my body in what it needed to assist in my recovery.

Is Your Doctor Being Paid and Manipulated by the Drug Companies?
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/12/17/how-much-is-your-doctor-being-paid-and-manipulated-by-the-drug-companies.aspx
Exert
Many people are still completely unaware of the many ways in which they are being manipulated into taking dangerous and unnecessary drugs.
There's the $5 billion direct-to-consumer marketing, of course, which is rather obvious. But physicians also play a major role, and the manipulation that takes place on this level is more obscure.
Drug reps often give 'gifts' to convince doctors to prescribe the medications that they represent. These drug reps usually have no medical or science education. Instead, they're armed with some of the most potent brainwashing techniques used throughout the world, which I'll discuss in a moment.
Exert
Is Your Doctor Paid to Promote a Drug?
Chances are your doctor has fallen prey to pharmaceutical marketing tactics. Most doctors simply do not have the time to research each drug, and rely heavily on information from their pharmaceutical reps and from other 'experts,' i.e. doctors who are receiving significant fees to talk about drug treatments.
Pharmaceutical sales reached a staggering $300 BILLION last year, up five percent from 2008. It's no secret that the industry spends big bucks on direct-to-consumer advertising, but just how much do they spend on marketing to doctors?
A LOT!
According to a new database created by ProPublica, seven drug companies paid $282 million to more than 17,000 doctors during 2009-2010.
The drug companies included in the database are:
1. Cephalon
2. Johnson&Johnson
3. Merck
4. Pfizer
5. GlaxoSmithKline
6. AstraZeneca
7. Eli Lilly
Bear in mind that these seven represent just a small portion of the drug industry as a whole!
In 2006, the pharmaceutical industry spent an estimated $16 BILLION on physician advertising. At the time, that amounted to $10,000 for every doctor in the US.
Exert
How Does Drug Industry "Education" Help Protect and Improve Your Health?
The drug industry insists these payments are for "education," and improve patient care by keeping doctors up-to-date. However, I agree with those who call it bribery as it most definitely influences doctors' prescribing habits, which can have a seriously detrimental impact on their patients' health.
After all, prescription drugs are responsible for an estimated 700,000 ER visits a year due to adverse drug reactions. And adverse drug reactions from drugs that are properly prescribed and properly administered cause about 106,000 deaths per year, making prescription drugs the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S.
The truth is prescription drugs kill more than twice as many Americans as HIV/AIDS or suicide. Fewer die from accidents or diabetes than adverse drug reactions.
In light of those statistics, if all this money is spent to educate and improve patient care, how well is that working, you think?
These payments are entirely legal, and drug companies are not even required to disclose who they pay or how much. According to ProPublica, all but two of the seven companies included in their database were forced to divulge this information as part of settlements and lawsuits.
This will all change in 2013 under the new health care law, however.
