Does Big Pharma Have Your Best Interests in Mind? with Nathan Wenke | Harley Seelbinder Podcast #36

In this episode, Nathan joins me again to talk about the pharmaceutical industry in America compared to other countries. We talk about how there are many methods in which to improve health besides prescription medications. We talk about a study that found no evidence supporting the idea that people have chemical imbalances in their brains. We also dive into the actual process by which new pharmaceutical drugs are approved in America, which should raise at least some skepticism for anyone listening. We also talk about how all of these ideas tie into the discussion about Covid-19 and the vaccines. I hope you enjoy this episode.
