All the Pharma companies want us all to be medicated in some way.
A few years ago it was mooted that all over 55 yr olds would be given a 'polypill' that would protect them from a variety of ailments that are linked to ageing.
All medicines have side effects and some of these need medication to control them....so had this gone ahead we would all be guzzling down pills to supposedly keep us well and meds to cope with the side effects of the pills that were given to keep us well....meanwhile the big pharma are laughing all the way to the bank.
Alternative therapies are discouraged by medical practitioners because they know that this will rob them and the Pharma companies of money....so your doctor will never recommend homeopathy, or osteopathy or any other of the alternative health products.
I stay away from Doctors as much as I can because I do not wish to be medicated purely on my age.
I take no prescribed medicines, I eat fresh food, I keep active both mentally and physically....and when I am called off this lake, I want to go without any meddling.

I cannot argue with your sentiments Marge but then again you must admit that you have been very fortunate in not having any serious illness or accidents in your life.
As I have stated in an earlier post but for the knowledge and dedication of the medical staff and the scientific brakethroughs over the years, I would have died in 1968. The skill of the Surgeon,(Mr Jacks),and the nursing staff under Sister Hayes at Accrington Victoria have allowed me to agree or to disagree, or to agree (to) disagree with whom so ever I wish but then again with me being a naturally cantankerous little sod, maybe I would have come back and haunted this site anyway.
Ah well, Approaching Hobgoblin time, stay happy.
Your's, a Cantankerous Taddy.
