Maybe different but remember
Winters warm where you and I

We’ve all seen them, TV commercials advertising prescription and over-the-counter medications designed to cure every sneeze, cough, pain, desire, emotion, hunger, lack of energy, and sleep irregularities. It seems every time I watch TV or check my email I’m being told I may have some disease, irregularity, or condition which should be treated through chemicals.
While I understand companies must turn profits to survive and that there are many medical conditions where medicine is needed for treatment, I’m troubled by the means these companies are using to accomplish their goals.
