In general I agree. Drugs almost always treat symptoms rather than curing the underlying illness. And many illnesses today are caused or exacerbated by poor diet and sedentary lifestyle.

There are many legitimate pharmaceuticals however, and sometimes even just minimizing severe symptoms can be lifesaving.

My go-to to check new Doctors is to ask for a cholesterol blood test. If they don't order the LDL-P test which is a separate vial I'm out. It tests the particle size of cholesterol, which is what causes issues not the amount. In my experience most Doctors no longer diagnosis, they punch symptoms into a computer out comes a treatment designed by Big Pharma, that's how they get paid by insurance. They don't read new medical research after they graduate.

Theres lots or good stuff out there. I do believe that our Canadian Food Guide up here does NOT have health as priority. Same as this covid...there isnt a lot of coverage/people talking about how to beat the virus when you get it. Vitamins water exercise

Seriously, don’t use drugs for things that can be remedied with diet and lifestyle changes

Thanks for the unsolicited medical advice, Dr. BasedRedPillZeus. I'll let my psych no that I no longer require his services.

They tried to put me on blood pressure medication & I told them to go fuck themselves. Some dumb twat I worked with told me that she’d rather be on it so she can be a fat ass instead of getting in shape.
