The Alternative Perspective and The Medical Perspective

YOU must be the one who watches over yourself. Because nobody else is going to do that for you.

Many doctors just throw things at the wall, and see what sticks.  

Appreciate that we as a country represent 4.5 % of the world's population and yet we consume greater than 91 % of the world's medication.  

Are we over medicated?  

I think the answer is obvious.  

Is the problem getting better?  

I think you know the answer based on the number of television commercials for medications that we see.  

My approach is the old-fashioned "If-there-is-smoke-there-is-a-fire" reasoning. Some doctors disdain anecdotal evidence as not valid. I believe that it is the very best evidence we have, if the sample size is large enough, and the population is diverse.
