Good grief, if what you say were true we'd be dropping over dead every time we ingested a pharmaceutical. Your liver actually learns to metabolized sophisticated compounds (like drugs) that it has never seen before. Do you think complex pharmaceutical compounds are created in natural ratios? Your post is unmitigated nonsense.
I always enjoy your comments on these threads. Thank you for adding facts and reason to the discussion.
Many pharmaceuticals have warnings related to organ damage that they can cause. They are supposed to only be prescribed because the benefits outweigh the dangers associated with using them.
Pills prescribed for elderly patients with a combination of diabetes and heart problems are an example of this. Once patients get old enough, the pills are seen as the way to go as it becomes more desireable to avoid surgeries, as long as organ problems don’t shorten life expectency.
The liver does not learn, it just does the best it can - if it can’t manage, that’s called liver disease. How things go depends on how much and which medications are taken and the patient and what else is going on with the patient. Tylenol is an example with well-known issues.
A lot of information which details drug metabolic pathways, risks, etc., is available as put out by the drug companies, and I don’t think they are publishing unmitigated nonsense.
IMHO...
If one needs to take medications, one needs to take them. I’m just not living in a fantasy world where I believe that somehow the FDA has guaranteed that no pharmaceuticals have any side effects. I would think that it’s best for the patient to understand as much as they can so they can do their own common sense healthy living and make as informed decisions as possible.
And there’s nothing so good as some just-picked vegetables grown without chemicals.
