It's a shame really. I think that around 90+ percent of the time there are natural and healthier alternatives to the drugs doctors are constantly prescribing. But it really is all about money, and the natural remedies are often cheap and plentiful leaving no room for profit.The the thing that kills me is the side effects that most of the drugs seem to have, only to send you into a downward spiral of needing to take more drugs to counter the side-effects of the first drug....next thing you know you are needing to take 20 pills a day just to stay "healthy". Often times the side effects are worse then the problem they are supposed to be helping.
Out of curiousity I recently started researching an antibiotic I was taking for a sinus infection. I started researching it because it made me feel abosoultely horrible, much worse actually. I was pretty shocked to read the fine print and find out what some of the possible side effects were......depression, headache, nausea, diarrhea, heart failure, stomach infections, tooth discoloration, insomnia, liver failure......! I stopped taking it asap.
I think you really said it all when you said most people are looking for a "quick fix" this is very true, and to our own detriment.
