Quick rant about Big Pharm

Sat, 11/14/2015 - 00:23

Hi,

I try not to rant too much.  Lately I have been coming on this websight more often then before for some much needed community support.  The more posts I see about various meds vs. posts I see about diet.  Then I see everybody trying to get CBD oil and dr.'s won't prescribe it to them and all I can think is how I get meds by the handful.  I have 4 different meds.  Has my dr. ever spoken to me about anything different than medication? NO!  And from what I see on the chat groups few other dr.'s have either.  Why?  It's big business to keep giving us meds.  I'm fed up!!!
