Thank you, GTHS! (All hail, Georgia Satellites and "Cocktail.:) And here's another story about Parkinson's that you might find meaningful. 💜 https://shorturl.at/yfIce
Having had family experience with PD, I hated that commercial, too. Nothing like a little fear-mongering from Big Pharma. Only you could make me laugh about it, though.
Having so much experience in the pharmaceutical industry I can’t help but be skeptical about all commercials. First, their ad spends outweigh their research allocations. Secondly, I wonder how they may “unintentionally” worsen the symptoms of the more mildly afflicted, in effect building market share through the power of suggestion. Thirdly, we are so bombarded with cancer drug commercials I wonder if it all is becoming embedded in our minds that if we don’t get it, we will. Looking at the fine print of survival data, the life extension properties are variable, and must be weighed against cost and sadly, debilitating side effects. Not that pharma- they prefer the term “medicines” - aren’t great, they are. But honestly they’ve gone soooo far into advertising, and I see machinations underlying the path to profitability.
