He's going after the things that can be usually fixed by physical therapy and other non traditional practices. What ya all think?

I wouldnt need drugs, either.

Came here just to find a reference. Thank you for not disappointing.

it isn't

I do agree that there are too many drugs being prescribed. I am surprised at how almost everyone seems to take several prescriptions these days.

I have a regular 'script, a premarin patch. It doesn't save my life but does make life much, much less miserable. I understand how that works and so do people who share my view that too many drugs are being prescribed.

Add to that supplements and OTC stuff. I marvel at how some are just obsessed with this stuff. 20 'scripts and another $150 in supplements. I know several people who do this. They all look worse every time I see them.

This is getting out of hand.

Who claims not to use any drugs. Seemed outlandish to me. Fewer drugs, okay....no drugs at all? Not a good idea.

I'm always fascinated by this, because, in my experience, most doctors are reluctant to prescribe medications unless they feel they are necessary. Were and are there problems with overprescribing antibiotics, for example? Yes, there are specific examples like this for some classes of medication, but does that mean there is a problem across the board? I don't think so, and it should be up to the doctor(s) and patient to determine what is the correct amount of prescriptions they are supposed to take.

Convincing us we don't need our medication is a brilliant move in this regard, because clearly a lot of people are falling for it. It's scary.

particularly with the attempt to replace a patient's anti-depressants with cryotherapy, which is, at best, unproven, basically making her into a guinea pig. This can be extremely dangerous depending on the severity of her depression.

Truly it's not. Yes, many people take too many medications. The answer for that is a trip to the doctor and the pharmacist to do a medication review. The answer is not that nobody should take medications.

This kind of binary nonsense is one of the reasons people are so confused.

Don't give up on medications. Ask why you're taking each one and whether there is a good alternative. Make your medical professionals do their jobs.
