Another reason I’m grateful for having been brought in a family that believes drug-free and natural is a good thing...

It is liberating, indeed-I’m healthy and happy, too not overweight, and do physical work. The warnings that come with meds say “this medication can cause death”-if something is more harmful than the condition it treats, why would any sane person use it? But then, there is all that lawsuit money available...

There are many (un) intended consequences under Obama care that will start to bubble through the surface.
My Spouse has had 4 Back operations, has titanium rods from her neck down to her tailbone and rods going into her hips.

Her doctor had tried all different medicines, including morphine patches, to help with her incredible pain. # years ago, she stumbled on a medication that has pain relief as a side effect. It worked wonders.

This month we tried to fill her new prescription, only to be told that the medication was refused, because of the new Obama care rules.
I spoke with the pharmacy and was told that our predicament is not isolated. Many prescriptions are affected and many customers are starting to be upset even cursing at the stores. Of course, it is not their fault. It is the ACA that is causing the problem.
Just some food for thought.................
We can pay for the prescription on our own. $ 500.00 PER month. We had it filled for 3 years without a problem. So much for your Doctor to decide what is best for you. I guess beaurocrats know better?

Reminds me of the person that said the Gerson treatment was bad because it gave some people false hope and might be dangerous.

...unlike the “accepted” (and expensive) treatments commonly used in the AMA approved hospitals. :-P

Particularly bitter medicine given the fact we are on the cusp of the genomic revolution that will allow doctors to customize drug therapies for patients.

Dangerous, like standard chemotherapy that gradually kills vital organs so that something other than cancer kills the person. The standard burn-and-poison “therapy” isn’t about getting cured, it is about treating symptoms. If you are cured, the money to big pharma goes away-a friend of mine had to get into a research program to get the new genetic therapy for cancer that is individually tailored with diet and mind/body therapy, mild side effects, etc...

I infer from this that they are actually attempting to do the Gerson treatment (or something very similar to it).

Thing is, it really works. We had heard stories, but when it was verified through someone we actually know, we started paying attention. At the very least, we purchased a masticating juicer and changed our diets. We’re taking our half acre garden a LOT more seriously this year as well.

It is already being tried-and not well received because it actually seems to work-even if the treatment is expensive, money to pharma dries up if people are cured-can’t have that-my friend had to go through a research program to get it...

It is very similar-the drug/substance is designed only for that person-what has been shown to kill cells from their tumor while not killing the healthy cells around it. Each person is different-what helps one person might kill another outright, so it can’t be bottled, labeled chemo-XXX and used on just anyone. I suspect that one-size thing is what is wrong with drugs anyway-no wonder you take them at your own risk...

I have Advil for dire emergencies, but haven’t needed it in awhile-vitamins and supplements are all I take otherwise.

I stopped eating/serving any processed items-including bleached flour and rice, processed sugar, and started baking my own whole-grain bread-when my kid was a baby, and I’ve never missed the packaged stuff-I still weigh the same as I did at 17, too-108-110. Thankfully, there is fresh-today fruit, eggs and meat to be bought or bartered here, and I do grow many of my veggies and most of my herbs.

Heh, I’ve discovered a plethora of Amish markets where I live. The quantity and types of natural foods available at many of them is simply amazing.

I confess my wife introduced me to Advil a few years ago too. I’ve always called er “Eve 2.0”. I guess with the first one it was the apple. With version 2.0 it’s Advil.

I’m glad to hear your friend is benefitting from this. An old friend is a leading figure in the genomics field. Really exciting stuff.

No Amish here, but plenty of old hippies who are rednecks-or maybe it is rednecks who are hippies-either way, most people with the room for it have livestock-I intend to soon, as well-and going in with a neighbor to buy 1/4 to 1/2 of a cow or hog from another neighbor who is going to slaughter one is common-the meat is fresh, wrapped at the locker plant and free of hormones and other drugs-doesn’t get much healthier than that.
