Niet alleen psychofarma hoor.
Nog zo'n "kassamedicijn" dat diabetisch 2 bestrijdt. Althans de syptomen = rest van je leven slikken. Droomziekten voor de grote farma's.

A widely-used diabetes drug should be pulled from the market, European regulators say.
Avandia is used to control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients.
It was licensed 10 years ago and more than 100,000 patients in the UK use it despite on-going concerns linking it to heart problems.
After reviewing safety data, the European Medicines Agency said the benefits no longer outweighed the risks and it should be suspended.
Peter Walsh, head of the patient group Action Against Medical Accidents, said: "Medical experts have been warning for months about the dangers of this drug, which have been well documented.
"It should not take this long to come to a decision when there is evidence that people's lives may be at risk.
"We need a review of how medicines are regulated in the UK and Europe as a whole. We fear that pharmaceutical companies have far more influence than they should have."
Simon O'Neill, of Diabetes UK, agreed action in such cases should be taken more quickly.
