We are certainly an over-medicated society by far (especially with antibiotics). And it's so hard to know when it's ok and not ok to use anything.<BR/><BR/>Plus, as you say, the side effects are often worse than the symptoms. Get this:<BR/><BR/>I had to get some pills for some bad dizzy spells I had been having.

Their bodies need to build up the anti-bodies in order to have top-notch immune systems. <BR/><BR/>The more I've messed around with drugs (mainly anti-depressants) the more I've learned that I'd rather go without. <BR/><BR/>Our culture hasi i eeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965669520527591687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12343885.post-33207043699131561672007-03-09T14:42:00.000-05:002007-03-09T14:42:00.000-05:00WOW are you right about the pills.

A pill to help 'em eat, a pill to help 'em poop, pills for their hearts, depression, fluid retention, and pills for the side effects of all these first pills. The list is unbelievable in the hospitals. <BR/>I had to laugh at your "Meds anyone" comment.

And while we need to be careful with OTC and prescription drugs, I do think drugs do wonders for mental illnesses and the like.<BR/><BR/>There's some truth to the 'oversanitizing' of our environment.

Gone are the days when a simple penicillin shot will cure it all. And bacteria and viruses do seem to be able to mutate to another strain or something. There is alot of scary stuff out there.
