These days we are constantly bombarded by countless spam messages and a great deal of these unwanted messages contain offers for all kinds of medication that can be bought on countless online pharmacies. Normally it’s just irritating but it gets ever more irritating because it has just been reported that almost 90% of all e-mail is completely useless spam. And more and more of it is trying to sell you medicines, like Viagra.
I always wonder what sort of people would order any kind of medication in such questionable stores.
Because you have to diagnose yourself as no doctor will ever knock on your door to check if you are really physically or psychologically ill, what illness you could possibly have, and which medication is best to treat your symptoms. No, in these online pharmacies you are your own doctor and you prescribe your own medicines.
The right medicine for the right illness makes you better. At least, that’s the current medical theory. The wrong medicine, in contrast, could make your existing and possibly illusionary illness worse or create a new one to accompany the one you already have. It could even kill you.
So, what sort of customers do these companies cater to? Out of pure greed they cater to desperate people.
People, for instance, who are feeling so depressed that they want to step out of this life and use online pharmacies to get their medication to accomplish that goal. They just order a huge amount of sedatives, no questions asked, swallow them all at once, and they just fade away from this life into the next. And, more often than not, leaving their grieving family and friend behind with lots of unanswered questions and doubts.
Another problem arises when you are already using some sort of medication that has been prescribed by your regular doctor, that you believe that they work insufficiently in your particular case, and you’ll decide to order some new ones on the internet.
Recently we had some tragic examples of this behaviour when model and actress Anna Nicole Smith (and shortly before that her own son) was reported to have died as a result of taking a mix of medications, that interacted with each other and so sedated her vital organs, like respiration, that her death was the unwanted outcome.
And these companies often sell their products to people who are addicted to drugs but who are living in countries where the police and the justice system are treating users harshly. People who are afraid of getting caught by the police sometimes turn, in some desperation, to these online pharmacies and order medications that have the same effect as the drugs they were addicted to. And they are always safe because the orders are delivered on their doorstep by their trusted mailman. Until death catches them here too.
In the end you are also at serious risk to be conned out of your money. Some of these online pharmacies will not hesitate to deliver worthless and useless pills. You think your sex life will improved markedly with a little blue Viagra pill but imagine the deception when it turns out that you have swallowed a simple placebo.
Most of these shady companies have their origins in far away countries like India or China. And who knows what they put into their pills.
Would you ever trust them?
