Obscene Drug Profits: Where They Go

from NaturalNews.com...

"They found a 100 tablets of 20 mg Prozac runs the consumer about $247.47, while the active ingredients only cost $0.11. Yes, that's right. Eleven cents for all one hundred tablets. It's a 224,973 percent mark-up, a profit margin most business owners dream of - but could never get away with.
Even more profitable, Xanax customers regularly pay $136.79 for a hundred 1 mg tablets, while the active ingredients cost just under three cents. The mark-up is an unbelievable 569,958 percent."

Crack Your Bones

Just signed up for a long, intensive series of sessions with a local chiropractor. I've had a lot of neck pain lately which a couple of X-Rays revealed to be some nasty shenanigans from the vertebrae in my neck. Basically my once straight neck is now a pretzel thanks to years of staring at computer screens... with some possible help from some bad snowboarding tumbles I took a decade back. So the next month of my life I'm going to be spending 3 evenings a week getting my bones cracked, my shoulder muscles pushed back into their correct positions, and rocking in weird chairs with my neck in a noose - kinda fun actually, I feel like a kid again! Lets hope it works :-)
