I know I am in the minority - versus either side of the aisle on this issue.

Most people think the drug industry is marvelous. I do not.

I started out as a biology major, on the pre-med path. Ironically, my own health problems were never rectified by allopathic medicine, and I did experiences side effects at times.

I nearly died at 32. I decided I could die for free, without spending another dollar on doctors, and waited to die. When the crisis passed, and I failed to expire - five weeks later - I decided as much as possible to live according to Nature as provided by the Creator.

I have not been to a Medical Doctor since 1995, and have been on no medication since then. I am healthier now than I ever was while following an allopathic doctor’s orders.

Trauma is one thing; maintenance is another. If I break an arm tomorrow, I will go to a doctor to have it set.

I no longer consider submitting to the artificial cut-burn-drug dogma automatically viable for someone who claims to follow conservative and Christian philosophy.

There is no such thing as a drug deficiency - and there really is no such thing as a drug without negative side effects.

I hope Peterson will recover from his addiction, and seek for a natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs.

Nota Bene:

I have nearly died three times in my life. I am permanently disabled, and live with daily pain. However, I have not only reduced the worst of my symptoms, but found natural and safe analgesics (i.e., systemic enzymes) as alternatives to opioids and the like.

I am not indifferent to the sufferings of others, and have spent years helping such persons. But I do so via educating them about natural and holistic means that avoid these unnatural, and highly addictive substances.

“I decided I could die for free, without spending another dollar on doctors,”

Interesting sentence. Logical. Pharma and docs are so financially benefitting from our pain. I am on Meloxicam for pain, hoping to stave off another hip replacement a little longer, but only take it sporadically. I can’t imagine what people with much worse pain deal with day-to-day living.
