    Eli Lilly 3Q 10% profit rise is nearly all from psyche drugs including zyprexa.How have they schemed to squeeze more money from their zyprexa cash cow when pill production has actually gone down?

    ANS-Eli Lilly profiteers have jacked up the price of zyprexa to the federal govt,from the Medicare D payouts.Eli Lilly is a big drug company that puts profits over patients.

    They covered up findings that their Zyprexa has a TEN times greater risk of causing type 2 diabetes

    Only 9% of Americans trust big pharma,right around the same rating as tobacco companies.
