Thank you, Cyndiee.
It is amazing how much joy our beloved pets bring us and how painful it is to lose them. I just had to post something in Fred's honor, and I truly appreciate your thoughtful and caring response.
All right, Cyndiee, glad that you are back.
But what can I say?
I hate drugs and medicaments and stay away from them as long as I can, maybe therefore I am so healthy and because I have good genes.

I admit there are diseases which necessitate medicaments, but there are also people who just swallow everything that comes into their hands, without questioning it. The doctors encourage them in doing so.

Sometimes I type reports (mostly AVR) where the doctors prescribe up to OVER 10 medicaments to a patient, this is just uncomprehendable to me when I think of all the possible side effects, interactions and the effect on the liver and kidneys, etc...I feel sick to my stomach. Can this really be good, in any way?

Generally I do not trust doctors much. They are all more or less quick-fixer, because that is actually what the patient expects from them, a 'quickfix'.

But if medicaments which offer a quickfix in the short run and feel good at the moment, are also good in the long run, is very questionable.

Doctors are here to prescribe medicaments and they are encouraged to do so by the pharmaceutical companies. The first to take drugs which are new to the market and released by the FDA for 'studies', are always the guinea pigs, we have seen this with HRT, antidepressants, especially Prozac etc...

I am fiercely anti-medicaments, as already said, the only medicament I trust is aspirin and I take also supplements, I believe in those.

Patients should ask the doctor when they get a medicament prescribed, 'Doctor, do I reallyy need this?'

I have great respect for surgeons, dentist and gynecologists who deliver babies, not so much for other things, like prescribing hormones and advice on menopause etc....
there is still a lot of 'guessing' and 'experimenting' going on.

Glad to see you back, Jan.
