Doctors & The Drug Industry

there are many life-saving drugs, but there's also a less glamourous and reassuring side to the drug industry. Do you know that for every 15 doctors in the US there's one drug rep? That's a startling statistic - drug companies would not be spending all that money unless they expected some return.

Health & Fitness Is Not A 12 Week Program by Tom Venuto
You can avoid the on and off, yo-yo cycle of fitness ups and downs. You can get in great shape and stay in great shape. You can even get in shape and keep getting in better and better shape year after year, but it's going to take a very different philosophy than most people subscribe to.
