Prescription medicine is terrible for you whether they say you need it n or not.
Seems to me that 'they' say everyone needs to be on pills for something.
I've heard people say this too many times in recent years:

'Oh, you're not feeling good? Have you taken your meds?'
{as if the pills solve everything, and lack of them is the only problem a person could have.}

'You just have to find the right medication.'
{like there's no other way to live except being on some damn pills}

I've had terrible experiences with prescription pills myself and in one instance almost died as a direct cause of those pills.
So I kindly told the doctor I believed they were a good person with good intentions, but I will not take any more pills in the future.
On a side note, I read they load certain pills with aspartame - how good can that be for you?

I'm with you on most of your dietary suggestions {if you can afford to eat so well} except sugar; I think natural sugar is Ok, within strict limits and the more pure the better - it shouldn't be white!
U.S.F.D.A. will approve anything, it seems, and the real problem there is that once they approve something, it almost always becomes a 'rubber stamp' for the rest of the world.

Further complicating things is the deliberate confusion they {corporations, advertising} create around products.
As one example, here in Canada we have a 'Heart and Stroke Foundation', whose logo of approval is seen on many supermarket items - many of which contain aspartame, sometimes by its other marketed names.

The trouble comes when you try to explain to people how bad it is for them; they ask you why such things would be allowed for sale if they were unsafe, and further, why would the H&S Foundation put their logo of approval on it?

They just don't want to believe that certain people in this world would do such things, let alone conspire at such a level as to tell cardiac and stroke patients that poison is good for them.
It makes me sick.
