MEDS! Finally, my husband read his doctor the riot act. [View all]

He has been taking meds for high cholesterol and low thyroid for over 20 years. His blood work came back with EXTREMELY LOW for both. What did the nurse say? Oh, you will have to see the doctor about lowering the DOSAGE of your meds. Excuse me? To quote him, "Why the HELL am I taking these to begin with and WASTING MY MONEY?" "Am I suppose to scrape powder off these pills to take a low dosage?"

High cholesterol? I am a semi-vegetarian, have gotten my husband to eat this way, and do all my cooking from scratch. I made Butternut Squash Soup from scratch today. Tomorrow I am making Spiced Lentils (not canned). Horrible, terrible, food? I make meat 3 times a week and it is always stir fried or baked with a lot of veggies.

Years ago when my daughter was 16 her doctor wanted to put her on meds for a high thyroid. I refused it. She is now 30 years old and fine. If left up to them, she would STILL be taking them. Once on meds for a condition, always on them. You will NEVER be cured.

I am very, very happy that my husband has finally seen the light. The health care industry NEEDS you to be on meds constantly so they can make money from you and keep you "hooked".

BTW, I used to work for one of the largest pharmaceutical corporations in the world. I know what they do and how much profits they make from people's fears. Their advertising feeds this fear. I sat through all of this and how they could sucker people into it.
