I'm very sorry to hear this happened. The thing is, Merck only contributed to the so called killing. I can understand people being angry, but the problem with Merck is the same problem plaguing the entire country. Did you know that any number of things, driving your car, wearing shoes or deodorant, or eating the meat and bread on your sandwich...all contribute to ill health? This means poor health for you and our environment. I am still young, and I was once given samples of Vioxx upon a visit to the doctor. They treated it like a miracle drug, and sent me on my way as if they were helping me. Perhaps they were shareholders, or more likely they just don't know any better...even though so many people regard doctors as intelligent. Even if they did know...they have to conform to a "standard of care" which is dictated by profit. People can heal, it is an innate ability or "intelligence" of the body...otherwise we would not be here. Doctors jobs are just to pretend that we can't heal, they assume you cannot heal yourself when you walk into their office.

The good thing for many of us, is that we have experienced this and know that doctors have no idea how to go about healing...I simply stopped going and my health improved. I am young as I said...still alive for now. I know others who have the same logic are out there, just look at this site.

Doctors usually believe they are helping people, but with drugs? Every medication is harmful. I can personally not tell methamphetamine apart from tylenol, and I encourage everyone I know to make the same such comparison. Methamphetamine is just another drug, it is dangerous...but created utilizing our access to other dangerous drugs. I try not to take drugs anymore, there are enough toxins everywhere else thanks to what we tend to call "progress."

I think your energy would be better spent spreading this knowledge, and learning to live more as nature intended. Industry is driven by competition, and how can we compete with nature? The drugs that are now supposedly "keeping people alive" according to doctors....are only an alternative to nature, which keeps people alive just fine and is the reason we are here to begin with. I realize you're probably just upset, but do you at all contribute to this cycle of ill health? I know I do, it would be hard not to...so who do we blame? We must not blame, we must take action...nature demands it.
