While I happen to be an architect, I also know many men of the mind inside the medical industrial complex. One of those guys told me that all prescription drugs are poison. Sounds bad. I said well doesn't the "Dose make the poison" as they say.

He said that if the dose makes the poison, then all things are poison. For instance Water will kill you if you drink enough, but would you say water is a poison? In other words, that definition is kind of useless.  So from Websters:

Definition of poison

 (Entry 1 of 3)

1a : a substance that through its chemical action usually kills, injures, or impairs an organism b(1) : something destructive or harmful (2) : an object of aversion or abhorrence 2 : a substance that inhibits the activity of another substance or the course of a reaction or process

So Water doesn't usually kill or impair, and more importantly it doesn't violate the second definition. Within your body their are almost an infinite amount of different reactions going on all the time. Water doesn't stop any of them, it is actually fosters them. Your body needs water. Therefore, water isn't poison.

Prescription drugs ALL of them work in similar ways. They stop chemical processes in your body. Mostly by blocking various receptor sites, or stopping enzymatic reactions. This is a fact, and they are all poison. Then he said:

"Sick People need drugs, healthy people do not. If you are on medication you, by definition, are not a healthy person and will never be one again"

Whoa! If you are on medication, you are by definition poisoning yourself, and you will never be a healthy person. Pharmacies and Doctors are not paid by how many people they make healthy. They are paid if you stay sick. That is hard to accept for most of us. Once you come to the understanding, that your body isn't deficient in cholesterol drugs, pain pills, heart pills etc....you might be more open to the possibility that they know nothing about health. They know about sickness.

The world is awash in prescription drugs that do nothing but cover up symptoms. Except in extreme circumstances, these "medicines" do not extend your life a single day.  The medical system itself isn the 3rd leading cause of death in America.

Prescription drug errors kill about 100,000

The "man of the mind" that has worked in pharmacy for 20+ years said that anyone who has worked enough in a pharmacy will notice: This is not a place of health. This is not a place of wellness.  The people that work in the pharmacy are sick. The people that come there are sick. One pill after another. Month after month.

I'd try and stay as far away from these guys as you can. Lifestyle changes are needed, not drugs in the vast majority of instances. People simply don't want to make those changes. You know who you are.
