A vast amount of wealth is being created over the next ten years. Here's why--and how you can be a part of it.

Rx for Health Care

page 6 of 7
     The prescription drug business was founded by people such as Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the first vaccine for polio, and Dr. Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin. The products these dedicated doctors developed prevented diseases from developing in the first place or cured diseases over a relatively short period of time.
     Sadly, as health care moved away from the work of medical professionals and became the most profitable sector of our economy, the prescription drug industry shifted from making products that prevented or cured diseases to making products that merely treated the symptoms of diseases.
     Today about 95 percent of the prescription drugs sold are maintenance drugs—drugs that treat only the symptoms of a disease and that are expected to be taken for life.
     In my latest book, The New Health Insurance Solution, I
examine a list of the world’s five top-selling prescription drugs: Lipitor, Zocor, Nexium, Prevacid and Zoloft. These five account for more than $25 billion in sales in the United States alone. Yet for most people taking them, these five drugs share these traits:

They do not prevent any disease, but treat only the symptoms of disease.
They are dangerous to your long-term health, because by treating only the symptoms of a deadly disease, they prevent you from
modifying your behavior to cure the disease.
They are designed to be taken for the rest of your life.

I am an economist and businessman, not a medical doctor; however, in conducting the extensive research for my last book, The Wellness Revolution, I concluded that of the tens of millions of people taking maintenance drugs, few should be taking them.
Instead, most people taking maintenance drugs should be working with a medical professional to cure the
underlying disease—for example, changing their diet instead of taking Nexium for life (to counteract heartburn), or losing weight instead of taking Lipitor for life (to lower cholesterol).
