Pharmaceutical firms are inventing diseases to sell more drugs, researchers have warned.
Disease-mongering promotes non-existent diseases and exaggerates mild problems to boost profits, the Public Library of Science Medicine reported.

Why wouldnt they do it if they can and it increases profits?
If they want to make huge profits, then they would do it, although I question the need.
We see a lot of this, pharma is great at advertising and trying to show that any condition can be treated chemically - especially given the Govt push to treat conditions outside of hosppital. You'd be amazed how often I am told that by using more of medication X we will reduce hospital admissions.
The reality is a little different of course.
prove you can make and spread a malicous virus and you'll get a job straight away with an antivirus firm.
so ...all the manufacturers of anti virus software are full of virus writers ...keeps them in bizz and helps confuse the smaller firms who are always one step behind ...what am i on about ....yes right ...i can well believe drug companies behaving like this.
Yep that how they do business... creating new virus so people get their products to be protected from that virus instead of using an other antivirus software...
... should probably talk to Klintock then!
Irritable bowel syndrome is a case in point. So many over the counter remedies for a problem that is mind numbingly common, and usually treatable without medication.
Modern government and corporate business is mafia without any code of decency.
Nothing they did would surprise me.
