Twenty-odd years ago if you had a heart attack and managed to get to the ER, they could zap you and thump you -- and maybe you'd live after a long, painful, possibly crippling recovery.

Dr. John Abramson has written a new book, "Overdosed America". He's a family doc who has seen plenty. He covers the cozy relationship between drug cos. and the FDA and docs and drug cos. He says 70% of our medical problems are preventable by diet, exercise and other lifestyle choices. I know a lady who was on 14 prescription medications (28 pills daily). She was a zombie. I helped her get on a nutrition program and she is now drug-free and living a full life again. Drugs are wonderful in some limited circumstances, but they are way over-prescribed and causing many problems.
