Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Good morning, everyone, and how are you today? Another spot of rain is hovering over the Pharmalot corporate campus, where we are hustling the short people off to school and planning another busy day of phone calls and R&D. We trust you can relate. But, as they say, busy is good. Speaking of which, please join us tomorrow for a webinar on salesforce effectiveness (

see this). Meanwhile, here are some tidbits to get you started. Catch you later...

My disturbingly, NEGATIVE, experience w/Chantix 5 years ago...left me no choice but to dig. Once I started reading what goes on behind closed doors of big pharma... connections between our own doctors, and FDA...I was shocked!!! DISILLUSIONED...the scandals, lies,....corruptness...who KNEW???!!!

Certainly not MEEE!!!! I feel like such a STUPID, NAIVE, GULLIBLE...fool!!!!!!!!! I trusted BLINDLY, complete strangers w/my LIFE!! Never again. Never again will I put my faith and trust in any of the above. I'm done. Greed is ugly...and CAN be DEADLY. Save yourself!! Do your homework before ingesting any new drug and always get a second opinion on any diagnosis you receive. No one's REALLY got your back. KNOW that. You are your own best advocate!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, terri. Unfortunately for some of us, your warnings come to late and our family members are dead.
