So true! After seeing what decades of prescription drugs has done to my Dad, I will avoid them at all costs. My oldest has asthma, but at 15 is controlling it almost entirely without meds. He is a fitness machine and avoids sugar and processed foods completely. It has made all the difference in the world.
My youngest son has been hospitalized in the past for a horrible reaction to a skin virus. I replaced is meds with a homemade herbal treatment.
My youngest sister has Ichen Planus, 3 types of skin lesions, oral and vaginal. NO cure. And Predisone not very helpful. She is going total organic in an effort to control it. As some of the lesions can turn to cancer.
Main causes are Hep B and Flu shot or dirty needles and unprotected sex. She has been married a couple of decades so that is not the cause, she does not do drugs, SO the most likely suspect is the Flu shot as they are mandatory for her in her profession.
My granddaughter’s Gardasil gave her RA and you can see the swelling in her joints. She is 16, by 20 will be in a wheelchair.
I face the fact I will need a OP drug as the Vit/Min route only allowed it to get worse. I REFUSE any but a daily I can pitch. When researching them Evista has HRT issues...Already been through all those side effect riddled drugs. Foreto can interfere with you Synthroid uptake.
And EVERY one hits another health issue their DA*N pills caused. Every one has GI side effects. I’m trying to ween off the PPI’s as the are a bone density causing drug. Been on them 30 yrs thanks to HRT and Estrogen’s plus other meds that cause GERD. I’m in a no win situation. My risk of hip fracture is 60% with the same rate of dying If I do break a hip. With Medicare mandating that bone density test be done every 2 yrs, it ties the doctors hands in the way they treat for OP.
