Is this as bad as it sounds?

Look at what you just said.

Have we become a nation of pill poppers?

Advancing the notion that the problem is the people, helps advance the idea that chasing self improvement of some kind is the needed solution.

Which is a huge factor as to why we have the numbers you cite.
 
Yes we have.. did you have anymore questions?

The sad economy is responsible, all Bushie's fault of course ;-)
 
Could just be that we have made significant advancements in dignostics, and at this point, medications are one of only a few options for treatment. Cognitive therapy is quite effective too, and it doesn't rely on meds. Hopefully advancements in medical technology, especially the increasingly detailed brain imaging technology will lead to new tools.

Hey if you know %20 of a car engine , yeah start fixing cars.
 
I was going to start a thread about this. I am not a christian science guy but do belive that these meds are soul destroying and have helped killed this country. When 20 somethings are on so much meds they can't even get an erection there is a big problem. Gotta get degs in on this because he said the brain isn't fully devolped until 24-25 so younger people shouldn't have guns so I wonder if the same goes for meds that DESTROY the brain. It's easier to be a souless drone when you can't feel anymore or care. This is a MASSIVE PROBLEM , and it shows how these leftist doctors embrace the evil side of captialism very quickly. Get kick backs from pushing drugs , lawyers get money from settlements , and the only thing we produce in this equation is broken people and horror. The med game needs to go!

Years before they knew they had to wash their hands before performing surgical procedures, they performed them. Medical technology is all about trying to treat people with the knowledge available until better knowledge is available. No other way to do it really. We can't just ignore people who need medical treatment while we wait to know everything. We can only do the best we can with the most up to date medical technology and procedures.
 
If you count cholesterol meds, BP meds, stomach meds, mood meds and all the other meds that are out there (including all the OTC meds) then I'd have to say yes, we have become a nation of pill poppers
 
Not me. After seeing both of my parents take handfuls of meds every single day....and then both get kidney problems and require dialysis, I vowed to never go there. If I get an illness that requires medication to keep me alive, I plan to go all ChristianSciency and "just say no"...lol.

My grandmother is about 85 and may not feel like she's 20 anymore but hasn't bought into the whole scam , and is doing fine health wise. I know people half her age on 15 pills a day and on the verge of death. Everyone is going to die , no one gets off this rock alive and the medical community profits off your fears and "life extension". I try to be as go a person as I can be and hope to meet my end with some dignity.

Hey let me hook you up to a car battery and zap your brain , because that's normal and humane. Doctors have taken into the realm of evil , patching someone up is alot different then "preventive" meds designed to keep you addicted

For now it's our choice , and most of the time people fold under "paper indimation" by thinking this guy has serveal degrees hanging on the wall so he must know what he's talking about. An eductaed man would never leave in the middle of surgery to go to the bank right?

Then stop using medical science. Don't take penicillin when you get a bacterial infection. After all, by denigrating the science that allows you to live to a much older age than you ever could have done only 100 years ago, you're doing far more damage than you have any right to do to my medical profession. So become a Christian Scientist now, and stop using all of it. I would really think that was more appropriate, since your refusal to embrace medical science shouldn't really be allowed to have such an adverse impact on the rest of us, who would like to have access to the lastest medical advancements.

I guess I'm younger then you and will die before you , what I hate is science is become taken too much ( and always has been ) as an absolute truth rather then an evolving thing , and then we reinvent the wheel take some eadtern cures that have been around for 3,000 years and because some PHD decides that some old cure might have merit then the drug industry stomps it out via the FDA because it might hurt profit , and then you get taxed to quell illict drugs which are about just as harmful as the presciption meds that are legal?????? You have critcal thinking? use your head man , this game is rigged and we shouldn't make everyone play. You speak like we are the healthist nation in the world , look up some stuff piece it together. The reason some things are illegal is not because they are dangerous or unhealthy it's because the corporate controlled government might not get a kick back.

Pay to play , porkbarreled spending , lobbying are all acceptable terms in politics and you sit there and wonder why we are going to fall , we are rotting from the core. See rome for details
