As a statin side-effects sufferer, I can tell you definitely that chemical intervention at the symptom level is fraught with potential dangers; some of which are non-recoverable. When you think about it – why would any business want to develop and offer a product that would make their business obsolete when the obvious path to success is to make people DEPENDENT on the products and services the business provides. Such is the manner with which we should view the FDA/BIG PHARMA conglomerate. Caveat Emptor!

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about the paradoxes that plague our medical system and culture in general. It is as though these factors–overmedication, horrible nutrition, and treating the symptoms rather than the causes–are inextricably linked and work together to make and keep many people sick. I guess the only bright side is that awareness seems to be spreading slowly but surely, thanks in part to articles like this.

Thank you Sho for sharing your own personal experience with us. As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I have treated many people who are being over dosed on pharmaceutical drugs and experiencing terrible side effects. It’s hard to watch especially when there are fabulous plant medicines and foods that can treat the root of the problem instead of just treating the symptom. There really is no replacement for a healthy diet.
