We swallow so many fucking pills

Just say no.

Maybe Nancy Reagan was good for something after all.

You know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Phelps ?

He's ADD. No drugs either. 7 world records.

He found an outlet. You need to do the same.

you're saying his outlet is swimming I guess.
my outlet is art and science

 

You have to take that bullshit just like! One 20mg adderall everyday, sure the side effects include anxiety, loss of appetite, anti-social behavior and in some rare cases- psychosis! Thanks Mom!

I can't stand it.

 

well, my sis is trying to be checked for ADD. She does have trouble concentrating so thats how it is for her but, many people can do without it.

It must suck for you

 

perhaps try looking into alternative forms of healing.....
crystal healing, vortex healing, herbal healing, reiki....
or maybe just smoke some pot =]

 

I take about 10 pills a day bc of a liver transplant. If I don't take them, my liver starts to fail again. I can see your point about how everyone is overmedicated and unable to handle the slightest cold, but for the most part, assholes or not, we need pharmaceutical drugs. Unfortunately, natural cures don't work for every condition. Sure, you could argue that without drugs our population would drop back down to a more sustainable level, but most of us wouldn't be okay with one of our loved ones being among the people who would have to die bc of a lack of meds.

 

the trick to not using meds is not needing them in the first place. that means prevention. eat and live healthy and chances are you wont need drugs. i'm sorry for those that have health issues from a young age and don't have any choice. thats likely your parents unintentional fault, probably because they simply didn't know any better.

I know thats a pretty bold thing of me to say but its the truth. i know an awful lot about living healthy and i don't just mean eating a balanced diet. it goes so far beyond that. taking drugs for example disrupts your bodies natural chemistry. its simply not good.

 

theres ppl like me who have seizures and need it (meds) 2-3 times a day. And, my hubby who has restless leg syndrome who needs it. before just making a post about pills please google syndromes and understand what can happen if someone can have something. I myself was prescribed antibiotics ALL my life till i refused them when i was an adult now my immune system is shot. i refuse to take pills unless i need them.

 

and yet, people are living longer than ever....hmmmmm....

 

you know, i got restless leg syndrome HORRIBLY when i was pregnant both times. it was the more horrible thing ever. thank god it went away as soon as i had my babies. jesus. HELLISH MISERY.

 

But yet, people are sicker then ever.

 

people THINK they're sicker than ever. totally different.

there's a great saying that i think applies to this, tell me if you've heard it: don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

 

i take meds for a seizure disorder also, but i'm very anti-pill when it comes to "mood disorders" and cold medicines. depression, ADD... that shit ain't real. but if you physically need them, then i guess pills are alright.

 

Just to name a few...cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and mental illness rates are higher then ever before. People are getting sicker.

 

I like some pills but there are a lot I don't care for, or even know about. Like benzos or whatever? That stuff doesn't interest me.

 

I don't even like taking aspirin lol

 

It’s even worse than you think

we consume so many pharmaceuticals that when the water was tested in a number of major municipalities, they tested positive for a variety of anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs

Whenever we flush the toilet we release every drug we’ve ever taken into the towns waste water system which doesn’t filter them out

Hotwater

 

not me. i don't take meds hardly at all.. only tylenol and even that i take very rarely.

 

The US has really become dependant on medications, hell they start you out early getting the whole "take a pill to be healthy" idea stuck in your head, basically starts with vitamens then as you get older the Doc hands em out like candy but half the time they dont do shit.
