I do NOT take any meds (except for one thyroid pill) and do not let the doctor prescribe any. I try to eat a balanced diet, swim three to four times a week, and don't smoke. So far so good. <br /><br />Nowadays, the medical world prescribes meds for little children---get 'em started on pills early! No way. That is awful.<br />I hear those ads on tv. Why ANYONE would take some of them after hearing about the possible side effects is beyond my comprehension.<br /><br />My Mom died at age 91 and did NOT take meds until the very last year. I think that's why she lived so long!

He says the ads go something like this: "Are you tired? Are you hyper? Do your feet hurt? Is your hairline receding? We have something that will help you. Are you feeling stressed? Have you gained some weight? Is your skin losing its elasticity? We have a medicine that will help you." (and he goes on and on, much better than this)Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854398072237743090.post-15016195837171321322011-05-28T14:40:58.358-07:002011-05-28T14:40:58.358-07:00hahaha...love this.
