21. Sorry if I don't make sense. All I am trying to say is that sometimes
meds work... sometimes they don't. Sometimes there are safer alternatives to meds that work much of the time. Also, you shouldn't treat a condition that is a symptom of a nutritional imbalance or deficiency with a chemical. It might work for a time but the longterm effects may be very undesirable. I have seen people removed from umpteen medications through the use of nutritional supplementation. I have seen diabetics get completely off insulin. I have been exposed to the FACT that a woman needing kidneys (hers were working at about 25%) return to normal function WITHOUT surgery, but rather with glyconutritional supplementation.

On the other hand, I have seen members of my family go down a terrible path paved with medications. It only stands to reason that I rail against a system that has caused me anguish over the things my loved ones have been made to endure. Above all do no harm so the mantra goes. If this were truly put into practice rather than Above all, piss off no shareholders, then we would see much more good done in the name of healthcare in this country. I'm just sayin', if you don't believe it, look at the quality of life ratings and infant mortality ratings for Europe vs Amurka. The truth is in the numbers.

Parts of this message may have been cut and pasted. Others may have been the result of a malignant brainfart. Your mileage may vary...
