In 2002, the combined profits of the top 10 drug companies exceeded the profits of all the other (490) Fortune 500 companies combined. Over the last two decades, where have the profits been concentrated? I find this even more fascinating: the growth of psychiatric, mood-altering and SSRI drugs. Pharma has become the most profitable industry in America, and anti-depressants lead the pack in generating profits. Pick a typical American city, and roughly 15% of its residents will be on one of these chic and trendy drugs. I'll let you offer up some guesses as to WHY.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=288181" width="1" height="1"> If you're like me, statistics make your eyes glaze over, but bear with me here.

We really have to admire big pharma's business savvy. It's laughable and questionable in regards to whose best interest is in mind, but wow, they seem to find and exploit every angle don't they?

I'm still maintaining my position of trusting people's judgment. I believe people will make the best decisions on their own when they are given all the correct information.

Maybe we can't compete withe the budgets and business savvy of big pharma, but we can keep telling our story about holistic health.

Thanks for contributing to that Dr Mercola.
