The USA is good at one thing at this point... drugs! Drug capital of the world and all history.
If there is a problem... we have a drug for it or we are working on one. Our so called Dr's are largely, drug pushers. We sell drugs in the grocery store, specialty store. We have illegal drug pushers on the street corner.
One of my earliest experiences in school was a "druggie" trying to hook me on his top secret drug. What a sad human.
Most drugs are some kind of synthetic, made from oil. Same stuff used to pave your driveway and lubricate your engine. Go figure...
Me: I avoid drugs, the people that push them. I try to avoid the junk they expose us to that creates the need for drugs. I do use coffee unfortunately, a habit formed while on vaca in Europe. One day, I'll cut it out and juice vegetables again.
My advice... stay away from drugs as long as you can, make changes so don't need them. If the "Dr" tells you that you need a drug, go look for any alternative first. They won't give you alternatives, remember... they are drug pushers.
Dr's are not bad people, but the system is what it is and creates little drug pusher robots. It lines pockets well and it will not stop, it's great business... you're getting sick and addicted to drugs.
USA... is one sick country!! Whatever you do, don't follow us. We are on our way to hell in more than one ways.

I agree 100% with your take on drugs and the doctors who push them.
That being said, I've been taking Lisinopril HCTZ for years to lower my blood pressure.
Aside from having to take eye drops for the last couple years for glaucoma, that's it.
I don't get vaccines or take any other drugs.
Well done. It's to be expected as we age there's some advantages to keep the system going.
It's amazing to think there are peoples that lived well over 100 and there were no drugs, they just did it in times past.
why blood pressure high.. family history?
I started it in my early 30s after I had gained weight. But even after I lost the weight and got back in good shape my blood pressure still registered on the high side, so I just kept taking it. They also tried to get me to take statins for cholesterol but I refused and I'm glad I did.
My did had high blood pressure, as does my sister, maybe it is also hereditary.
I see that in wifes family for some. I'm amazed some people can live into 100s... thats like another 30rs at your age. I've watched videos of some and the answer may be, not eating, or eating very different than we are used to.
Then again, I don't care to live that long at this point. Just want to make what time we have good.
I take one pill for high blood pressure (low dose Losartan) and two medications for BPH. Relatively good for a guy who is 71.
not bad all told. I know 50 yr olds on 8-10 meds.
two meds for that? interesting.
Alfuzosin is a variant of FloMax, for regulating the ability to urinate normally, and tadalafil (Cialis) slows the progression of prostate enlargement.
makes sense. inevitable for most guys.
My father died as a result of prostate cancer. My destiny seems inevitable, so I am vigilant with being monitored.
I only take one for now as a preventative, I try not to let them push any on me
good job!
You mean legal drugs. I don't take any.
any drug. i listed coffee.
I don't do drugs
good! not alcohol?
I can have some of that, sometimes... but it is very rare
I don't drink to get drunk though, not into that
Agree. I discovered the right amount is zero, which is what the amount always was. some can handle it, most can't
None.
Good job! You are not American enough:) That's a joke. me either.
I take around 5
that's not too bad. I used to take more.
Granted only 2 are prescribed but still
if can stay functioning on that into 50's youve done well. drugs lead to more drugs in my experience as the body changes. you are just coming off your peak. changes a lot in stages post 40.
do you do fasting as a health practice? Clean the cobb webbs out? That's natural... starvation is natural.
interesting fact... you get a new body every 10 years as cells replaced. it's all new except for a few things. that's about right in my experience, things change and it's abrupt then stable for a while.
FWIW.
Nope, I eat healthy as is. But I can and do sometimes go days without eating. I only eat when I'm hungry so if im not hungry, I just dont eat.
That I did know actually.
that's smart!
