I'm glad you put forth the truth at the top of this thread.
Rx has it's place, but we all know for a fact that humans need vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes to sustain life. We don't need Rx to sustain life.
Vitamins/Minerals are well known, hard to produce, but relatively cheep. Exactly the opposite for drugs.
I am 44. I take NO drugs except the occasional analgesic. Everybody I know and work with takes handfuls of drugs every day. Some of the drugs are to counteract other drug side effects. These azzhats want to point the finger at the natural foods and vitamin industry? When I get sick I treat the illness. I have not taken an antibiotic in 10 years.
My parents are in their 70’s. They take NO drugs. None. Before you blame genetics. Dad, is Stepdad. But they treat with alternative medicines when sick.
A Conservative argument: Government wants to take away the choice of how I treat illness and maintain health. That comes under Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Choice IS freedom.
This war on the Natural Foods and Health industry is spawned on K street, who is using the present occupier of the Oval Orifice and his propensity to make deals with corporate entities. That’s why the big push is on. This is just the start.
