To be clear, I do take Armour for my thyroid. So I mix homeopathic with allopathic in treating this. I'm not 100% against pharmaceuticals.
But when I hear a doctor prescribing high blood pressure medicine for a patient (first diagnosis, mid-age, no other severe medical problems), instead of taking a month by month approach and getting them to exercise more, eat better, try a few supplements like garlic, and Omega-3, I go off my rocker. MY pet peeve is that doctors and drug comapnies are so far up each other's asses that it makes politicians and lawyers almost look like angels. Got high blood sugar in your late 30's to 50's but no family history of diabetes? Are you overweight? Do you get any exercise? Instead of asking LIFESTYLE questions the docotrs hand you these drugs that cost a fortune and give you other problems. OR interfere with medicine they've ALREADY put you on, that they haven't even considered! It's BULLSH!T! Get a grip. Get out there and exercice. Choose the right foods. Etc. TRY that way first. Give a patient an opportunity to fix themselves before you bombard their body with chemical crap. No it isn't for everyone and I am highly cognizant of that, but my god. You've got one single life to live in your body AS IT IS, either treat it well or don't complain when you're taking 12 different pills every day just to get through life. I may be blurring some lines here between homeopathic treatment and simple living better, but I think you catch my drift. Gah. Blah. Meh.
