Meds? Do You Believe or Not?

KarenQVC · ‎05-13-2010

On a continuum from 1 to 10, do you tend to be a believer or non-believer? Use 1 as Big Believer and 10 as Total Non-Believer.

I will start. I am a 2.

I am sure your question makes perfect sense to you as you have all the background info in your mind, but I don’t have a clue what you are wondering about or asking. On a continuum of 1 to 10, rank me as totally confused!

Snarky responders need not reply. Move along and share your views elsewhere.

I live in a state of confusion....but if @GCR18 and @Havarti doesn't get it then I know (in this instance) I'm in good company!

Ok.

I'll qualify it.

In terms of most popular modern day illnesses: 1-10

(ex):

Diabetes T2

High blood pressure

Cholesterol

10.

These are food borne illnesses.

No medication needed to reverse & maintain if the

proper diet is established.

Sorry, gals. There was recently a thread about the dangers of some meds. A few gals said they avoid prescribed medications--like shots and pills in the bottles from Walgreen's--big pharma.

I know I am so different. I take just about everything doctors order and have not had many problems.

I was just wondering if other posters tend to embrace big pharma meds or avoid them and to what degree.

I avoid them unless absolutely necessary. Doctors are too quick to dole out pills and shots IMO. I prefer to ask the doctor if they can suggest a natural alternative rather than just say okay to the meds and have to deal with potential side effects.

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

If it's a rx I definately take it then work on trying to get off of it! I did that with my high bp rx and my high a1c. No longer need to take meds for these.

Why would anyone not take what their doc has prescribed??

I fill and take whatever is prescribed. The only exception was a prescription for pain pills after surgery last year. I filled it, but didn't take them since there was little to no pain.
