On The Glories Of Taking Drugs...

Let the venting begin...

Fed up with side effects and the expense, years ago I gradually stopped taking ANY medication for anything almost 100% (that time with chicken pox being an exception for example). Yet, in all this time, I've HARDLY been sick. No matter what, no "coming down" with anything unless I've been running myself ragged for weeks. Gee whiz, could that MEAN SOMETHING very interesting ABOUT drugs?

My grandmother's been staying over the last couple days. It's PLAIN to see that all these pills she's been given she has to struggle to remember what they are and the right dosages to take, are doing just a little shade of a bit more than NOTHING! NOT ONE problem is fixed, not the slightest health issue she has is permanently cured. Never mind what the drug interactions are doing inside her. Remember, people go take multiple pills together AS A WAY TO COMMIT SUICIDE. They just hurry up the dying-from-it process by taking a massive dose. The real curve balls are when this happens by ACCIDENT. R.I.P Heath Ledger.

So go ahead, have fun, suck down the drug-company-trained-and-paid-by-doctor-prescribed drugs. Have some more. Watch the ads; ignore the side-effects read out really fast in a low voice at the end. Don't wonder why there's a need to advertise DIRECTLY to YOU the consumer/patient when your doctor's supposed to be the one to decide and prescribe the right medicine for you. And don't wonder how come you take 1 drug for something; then later have to take another drug for a side-effect, then another for the side-effect of the drug covering the first drug's side-effect!

Buy the over the counter stuff too, what can it hurt? Don't wonder WHY one way or the other, despite a drug for every ill, you keep getting sick. Don't wonder why people of deeply impoverished countries, humans just like the rest of us you know, rarely suffer from most of the sicknesses "normal" in "better-off" nations (who can afford to feed on drugs).

Don't wonder how come many of the blockbuster-profit drugs of all time have been recalled years after release for their deadliness. Don't wonder how those things get past the FDA and are not prosecuted for by the FTC. (Can we spell Vioxx?)

Don't think about these FACTS. Just keep taking what you've been taking. Everybody's doing it after all...


Peace and Victory...
