I don't think it's the medical profession that's doing the hoodwinking... people hoodwink themselves...
Ever read the pamphlet that comes with the prescriptions? Most people don't. Pages of contraindications... It's not exciting reading, but it should be required or no prescription. The majority of the human race only hears what they want to hear... (oooh, i'm on birth control I can't get pregnant, but doesn't want to know that there's responsibilities there as well, like taking the pill at a specific time every day... and watching other drug interactions...
It's frightening to me that anyone would put something into their body and not check out thoroughly what the side effects could be.
