The medical industry has, for years, been "selling sickness" (a book by Ray Moynihan and Alan Cassels written in 2005) by systematically lowering the bar on what is considered to be the threshold for treatable diseases, or downright using fear to cause you to abandon proven cheap alternatives. Consider drugs for cholesterol, osteoporosis, blood pressure etc that have to be taken for the rest of your life. $$$$$$. And then consider the warnings against things like sunshine (vitamin D), aspirin (stomach bleeding), vitamins in general, all leading to expensive drugs, for safety!!! Sound familiar????
