Obese people live a pretty miserable existence as it is. That some will be able to extend that existence by taking a pill is neither a concern of mine, nor something I can do anything about, so really, who gives a rats ass? Im not about to go on some public speaking tour teaching "personal responsibility" to parents, and neither are any of you judgemental pricks :biggrin:
You got any leftover vicodin I can have?<snip>
I just read somewhere about a study that claimed the USA is the most "drugged" nation in the world.
Awesome. lthumbsdown:
English much ?BTW I never make fun of people directly that don't know me.
Being obese is something I feel would be terrible to be.
But my question (that is self answering) is why are the countries with the most always the ones that are the "most"?
Actually I have pain meds I never took when I got wisdom teeth out earlier this year, some codine like stuff. Want them?You got any leftover vicodin I can have?
Good man! No... I have to get my wisdom teeth out this summer so I expect I'll get some fresh stuff.Actually I have pain meds I never took when I got wisdom teeth out earlier this year, some codine like stuff. Want them?
Plan on racing Cyclocross this fall, other than that no.Good man! No... I have to get my wisdom teeth out this summer so I expect I'll get some fresh stuff.
You still racing?
Actually we're a pretty much med free family other than occasional doses of Tylenol and Vitamin I to control a fever.I got some 3 year old generic Lortab you can have SS. Happy to say that all of my family and my wife's family are med free. I hope we can keep it that way.
What wild claims are you referring to?Once again, a well meaning rant that has some truth to it loses all credibility by making wild claims...that's a growth industry, I guess.
i think it's the naturalnews.com blurb he's talking about. it's full of hyperbole.What wild claims are you referring to?
Here's one, to start:What wild claims are you referring to?
So while a lot of the article is poorly-written and seems to alienate its intended audience, I think there's a lot of truth in what is being said.Here's one, to start:
If you're as fed up with the mass poisoning of our children by drug companies, corrupt psych doctors and misinformed pediatricians, just invoke the law enforcement resources your tax dollars pay for: Call 911 if a doctor tries to poison your child with synthetic chemicals.
There was also the insinuation that nutrition could reverse cancer close to the beginning.
If you can prove that, you'd probably be up for a Nobel prize. Find out what they ate, write a proposal, do some double blind trials, and you'll not only be a billionaire, you'll have the thanks of millions of people worldwide.I think nutrition can reverse cancer close to the beginning in some cases. I can think of two people this has happened to. And there's no doubt we as a society are waaayyy over-prescribed. We are conditioned to look for something to treat the symptom rather than the cause. We look for cures rather than prevention.
Funny you mention that. That was the other thing my father and my friend Karinna's father did.Me, personally, if I wanted to do something useless to treat cancer, I'd pray.
What was he basing the anti-cholesterol drugs on?Professional drug pushers. I RARELY go to the doctor so I was not very familiar to him even after being with him for 3 years.
I fell off my bike and broke my thumb. Went to see my doc and ALL he could talk about was getting me in for a physical, do the blood work, and get me started on cholesterol drugs. (He barely knows me at all and has no idea of my history or family history. But that didn't matter at all. All he wanted to do was get me started on a bunch of drugs that he wasn't even sure that I needed. It was disgusting.) I said no thanks I'm here about my thumb. It pissed him off. After about 5 minutes of his condescending lecture about why I needed these drugs, I cut him off again and told him I was here about the thumb and if he couldn't help me I could find another doctor. In a huff, he passed me paperwork to drive 10 miles across town for an x-ray. I walked out right past the front desk and the ladies started to freak out and chase after me for my signature on a form. I told them they could shove it, I'm finding a new doctor.
