Drug goes from $50/vial to $28,000/vial. Best Healthcare in the world, Baby!

17. Pig brains are suspected as one source of "mad cow" disease.

I would not let someone inject me with purified pig pituitary if they paid ME $28,000.

More on CJD the human form of mad cow disease:

The disease has also been shown to result from use of human growth hormone obtained from the pituitary glands of persons who died from Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease,[14] though the known incidence of this cause is (as of April 2004) quite small. The risk of infection via cadaveric HGH in the US ceased when the medication was withdrawn in 1985.

Get that? We no longer inject human pituitary because of the risk of infection. But we will inject our kids with pig pituitaries--and pay $28,000 for the privilege---even though the pigs may have been fed infected animal parts. And I would not rely on pork industry reports that the pigs you eat are safe and healthy, because pigs get slaughtered young, before they would show signs of disease.
