Patients get symptoms treated one by one, or disease by disease cumulatively until they’re on 40 meds and a complete zombie, without anybody even recognizing what has happened. Sad.
Then guess what happens when they get an acute sickness on top of all that - they nearly die.
I’ve known a couple of vets who almost died from all the meds they were getting from the VA because they were seeing so many different doctors. One was taking 32 different pills, the other over 20.
Both of them were near invalids until someone got them off all of the medication. They had several more happy healthy years before cancer eventually got them.
BINGO! HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. Started with OA drugs, which ruined GI track, then came GERD med for that, which caused OP, and Barret’s Esophagus, Degenerative spine, which in turn caused pressure on spinal nerves and Peripheral Neuroapthy. OP meds mean ER A-Fib trips.
I now use only bone vits/mins and am reversing the OP. Takes more than D3 and Calcium you are told about. In higher doses.
