that said, the brain is a very complicated device, some problems MUST be medicated 'properly', which when done, gives relief to the individual, and being human, once they start feeling better they stop the meds and the brain kinda shorts out again...
former pastors' wife is a great example...they spent literally months/yrs at a time over her life [shes in her 80s] getting the 'right' combo of drugs to manage her brain chemicals...then she comes off of the meds and goes depression/'sick' again...as in emotionally dying, 'shut-in' sick/depressed...UN-functional...
at that point the previous cocktail doesnt work anymore and they start the whole process over again...
the last time the doctors stopped the meds due to a needed surgery, [they were concerned with reactions to the anesthesia ?] and its been well over a year now and they are just startin to get the right mix again...
of course, as said before, most of the population could simply benefit from diet and exercise, and a little 'reality' that life aint exactely about their petty selves and learn to live in 'the world' and accept their responsibilities...
too deep for most sheep...
In general, with our medical system, there is no room or money for “optimal health”. Nowhere can I find an exit strategy off of meds. Why should anyone have to live a life dependent on a chemical cocktail?
It just isn’t in our medical communities best interest to introduce a patient to green veggies, fish, bone broth soups and perhaps some supplements. Any chemical should be short term to help jump start a person to a healthier life naturally. Nowhere in our giant agriculture/ food/ fda/ big medical is this even a realistic option.
Then, we have people stuck on chemicals forever, which any event can throw off the amounts, then you have a chemically dependent, now genuinely crazy person in charge of their meds.
Just doesn’t seem healthy to me.
My point on this thread (again, I don’t really follow the gun threads) is.... Why are their meds not a part of the fodder of their lives that we talk over endlessly? I know the answer - it is now a rhetorical question. Big medicine and Big News are tied together.
Anyway, if anyone you know is on meds, I think it is best to help them find an exit strategy which involves lifestyle and dietary changes - healthy ones.
Thanks
The only fact I want to know about guns is a simply one. The gun hating leftist constantly chant gun control laws are not being enforced.
Can these gun hating leftist tell me which gun control laws are not being enforced?
