Help finding 5/28/09 aol health article

Yeserday I read an article about generic drugs that are different than the name brands they are replacing and how some can harm you. I wanted to print it and show it to my doctor as I am taking one of them, but now I can't find it. Can you help me to get a copy? Thank you.

I can do better than answer this question - unfortunately the drugs companies are legalised criminals. Without going into a long rant about how low their moral standards are and all the things they have done to destroy lives I feel that I should direct you to a good starting point for information on how to treat illnesses and improve general health using natural and forgotten remedies.

I work for a charity who raises money for children suffering from cancer by selling such products and they have helped to cure a very large number of people.

Please visit the website and read the information on the various products and then decide for yourself. You will also be able to find various other sources of information that is relevant to your question on the site.

Hi, Thanks for the website.  I'll check it out.  But I really do need a copy of the article.

 

did you try web md's web site ?

 

While I do not know the article you are asking for, this website has a great deal about problems with generics and lists specifics. Joe and Theresa Graedon have a radio show and several books about drugs. Hope this helps.

I did not see the article however some generic are different all the many medications generic or brand have to cross fda still each pill can not it is the huge batches that do if they settle then each are different still it only comes down to what is most popular at the many different pharmacies it depends only what moves quicker that is usually generic still some cases the generic form is fairly new to the market and causes people to keep requesting brand then that moves more whatever moves is naturally fresher and better does not matter what they say it is possible stillif you have insurance is a stronger chance they do not like or want to pay for the brand it is extremely more money most cases it is.The insurance co do pay much of the original brand cost but usually you have to have your personal dr. To specifically write brand necessary out direct on the new perscription every refill or they do not pay it automatically goes to less generic if a dr. Has a problem with you requesting brand that is a alarm change drs this is never a problem for a caring mannered dr. The issue is a problem for a dr. Then it would show that they do not care about your opinion and think it is silly then that is a big problem some do have big egos you do not want that type they would be making fun if they have a issue with it what would they do then if you had a real urgent healthcare that is a semi /big  problem........Scary there are many varied opinions out there with articles that go both ways generic vs brand it is a persinoal choice that only you can make if you notice differences when taking a medication chances are it is real do not ignore it still generic may actually be better some anyway depends on the manufacture who made it but brand could it is different with many factors unfortunately good luck your heath is important.

Hi;

 

This looks like the article (or very similar) to the one you are requesting. I used a Google search with date parameters for that week.

I think by this time you would surely get an online copy of the article at some website. I would suggest you to search it over the internet.
