Anna what you say is so true - thanx for the post pple must be kept aware of the tragedies that GP & Health Providers can cause by prescribing unnecessary medication. Just the other day I was given some pills by a Doctor who wished me to take them for 1mth in conjunction with another med I was on - well talk about side effects gosh they made me feel so bad just after one pill that I simply refused to take anymore and I feel just fine!!! Love & Light

After reading this article, I see that there are 2 drugs I am taking that could (should) be discontinued. Will discus with M.D. Thank you for the info.

I've always taken as few arthritis pills as possible; my ex had a heart attack after taking the full dose.

Well, I can't judge that. I would have to see where the study was done, etc. But thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Anna. I agree. Most people my age seem to be walking pill baskets, and when my name comes up for market research for seniors I am usually ineligible because I take no prescription drugs.

I agree and I worry about all this preventive care:(
Making us take test we don't need so they can find something that is or isn't there. (if it don't bother you, leave it alone) Then making you take pills you don't want nor probably need.
I'm not doing their little dance.
Thank you Anna, this one of my pet peeves:)

Use your brain and don't let the pharmaceutical industry to give it a white-wash.

There are way too many doctors who would rather write a prescription than do anything else - it's so unnecessary, wasteful and dangerous. You want an antibiotic? Eat garlic :)

Big Pharma is 1 of the biggest threats to our health; their motto of better living thru chemistry is propaganda which society has bought hook, line and sinker. Personal responsibility for individual health is a far better approach than blindly believing in an industry which seeks to profit from illne$$.
Many thanx Anna, for posting this enlightening article & for other's comments which show many of us are buying into Big Pharma's lies.
