What is the third leading cause of death in the US?


Legal Medication!! Hard to believe, huh?


We live in an overmedicated society that has been told the solution to every problem or ailment is another pill. As a result, people are dying at record rates of complications, side effects and interactions related to prescribed medications.
What did people do about heartburn before Prilosec? Maybe ate a vegetable and laid off the Mexican food or chili-cheese dogs? Heartburn is NOT a disease - it is your body telling you, "HEY IDIOT! YOU ARE KILLING ME OVER HERE!!"
Taking pain medication because your back hurts? Maybe if you got off the couch and got some exercise, you would lose the gut, which is the single largest cause of back pain. Again, pain is not a disease to be treated - it is a sign that you need to fix something!
What about vicodin, zoloft, prosac, praxil etc? Come on, is there THAT much depression? These are the hottest drugs going. Why is it that the United States leads the world in depression cases? Could it be because we have the most ads on TV telling us we are depressed?

Okay, lets talk about the real cases of depression - not just the ones where impressionable people were convinced to be depressed. What are the causes and cures? Causes - again, that idiot box that spends all day telling you how terrible your life is by showing how great others lives are. TV shows that solve all the world's problems in a half hour and the credits roll to the laugh track. How bout the fact that you are sitting watching others be successful instead of out there making your own life better. What about the treatment? Again, the idiot-box would have you believe that you pop a pill to return to normal and your life will consist of moonlit walks on the beach and a picnic in a field of flowers (as long as you bring your claritin). Patients have been treated with excellent results (better than cure rates with medication) using EXERCISE!! HOLY TOLEDO!!! Can you imagine that? The endorphins released when exercising CURE depression!!!

A deadly partnership has developed between the pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and the FDA. If a doctor prescribes it, then it must be the right thing to do, right? BULL! It is ridiculous if you stop to think about it. I have known my share of drunks, crooks and outright scoundrels with the title of doctor - they are not the gods that their professions and the drug companies would have you believe.

Ask yourself this? If you are healthy does the doctor make money? Why is everyone skeptical of the honesty of their auto mechanic, yet treat a doctor's word as gospel? The mechanics do not have multi-trillion dollar pharmaceutical companies running PR and ad campaigns for them.

Doctors used to be around for triage - they were there to treat acute trauma... now they are filthy dope pushers.

Take a look at all of your medications and really research what they are curing. Chances are you can fix it yourself with a lifestyle or diet change. Learn about the healthy lifestyles that will allow you to avoid needing most medications in the first place.
