My name is John Jameson. I am a Professor of Pharmacy practice at Ferris State University. The opinions expressed on this website are completely mine and Dr. Smith’s and do not reflect opinions of the University. pict01781 I received my Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota.

You may be surprised to learn that many Clinical Pharmacists (including me) believe in limiting the number of medications and actually are fairly skeptical of many of the current claims of benefit made by the pharmaceutical industry. I have had this website idea in my head for a number of years and actually started developing it in January 2009. One important point underlying many of my opinions is that we as human beings are a combination of physical, psychological and spiritual beings. Many medical problems cannot be fixed by simply using a drug that blocks some receptor. I do believe that many medications currently available can be of great benefit. This website will provide balanced information about benefits and risks of commonly available drugs.

My name is Curtis Smith. I am also a Professor of Pharmacy Practice. I am probably a bit more conservative than my friend “Prof Jameson”, meaning I will provide balance toward more conventional medical views. I received my Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the Medical University of South Carolina. I have years of experience in the hospital setting, which means I see the problems people have with their medications. I will be contributing to the content of this website as well. Look for the “edited by Prof Smith”
