Al: legitimate points can be made for or against both sides of the debate, as well as an argument that both sources “have an agenda.” I can see I am not going to change your mind on the subject, which is all good and not my intent. I can also assure you that you won’t swaying my position on the subject. I just wanted to throw out a few points that may, or may not be in the mainstream.


I have been around here for several years and you have seen thousands of my posts. Do I come across as a Euell Gibbons, nut and granola cruncher type? I’m not on some kind of a crusade to knock modern society back into the dark ages and forgo all prescription drugs, not by any means.


My main point is, with modern medicine, they are times it comes at a high cost. I know you have seen the looooooooooong list of side effects every time a pharmaceutical company advertises one of their products on TV. They have some person in the commercial with a, “I just won the lottery grin” telling you how great their product is. Meanwhile, down at the bottom of the screen (or at the lightning fast speed of an auctioneer at the end of the commercial) they enlighten us of the “possible side effects.” It’s generally a rather extensive long winded list.

That being said, I will go to the doc and get a prescription, if I really need it. I don’t even like to take ibuprofen unless I’m really hurting and avoid prescription drugs if at all possible.


As stated above, there is an argument for both cases and people are certainly welcome to there own opinion and choices.


peace
