Aren't monopolies generally trade monopolies?
The medical industry could be one of the greatest monopolies in the world. They make it almost impossible for natural remedies that are cheap and useful to enter the market, even if they serve the patients better than the regular commercial medications that are often worse than rat poison.

I agree that even the doctors are caught up in prescribing drugs as a result of all the incentives from the drug companies.

My husband use to say that some doctors are the drug pushers for these companies that make and sell the drugs they give to people. Well they do not give them but help sell them. Praise God that I have not had to have precribed medicines maybe 20 yrs.. been to long for me to even remember.

That is wonderful testimony, Avalee. Thank God, I can say the same. I'm so thankful for the health message that the Lord has so mercifully given us, or we would probably not be where we are today.
Yes, I agree that for the most part, the DR's are just "legal drug pushers". It is a real shame. They are very good at getting their patients on to one drug, than soon, on to two, and then on to more! It is a real racket!
Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. {COL 69}

Years ago I knew a person who went to two different doctors and was prescribed two different type of drugs, which she took at the same time. When she showed up at my doorstep, not making any sense, I knew something was wrong, but didn't really know that it was her two different drug prescriptions until later on.

Seeing that two topics were merged together, the discussion on drug monopoly and physicians is on topic.
