And you get situaions like in the US where big Pharma pumps millions into advertizing and the news looks a blind eye.

Wasn't there a paper a while back that showed how the US is more than likely a plutocracy.

But what if you are like most people and trust doctors to do the right thing and they convince you that unless you treat you'll die. You go along and the doctors damage you. This just happened to a mentor of mine (67 y.o.) with a PSA t
