Otherwise, compared with many of my peers, I too am one of a few who refuses to accept pills are the answer to everything. Don't get me going about statins!subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-14694272001649538812012-10-05T14:17:54.730+01:002012-10-05T14:17:54.730+01:00My beloved spends much of her time (she works in a...My beloved spends much of her time (she works in an area of comp. medicine that <br />*does* work, helping OAPs get off the massive doses of varied medicines that GPs now prescribe regardless to the aged. E.G. Anti-depressants to an old feller who had many symptoms - but depression was not one of them. Statins a gogo here, there and everywhere, causing all sorts of problems. Statins, you see, interfere with the business of re-building muscles. And yes, the heart is a muscle. <br /><br />Goldacre is spot on. But who didn't really know what he has to say already? <br /><br />At 61, I have had two hip ops, and one shoulder op in the past four years. Each time on admittance, I get astonishment that I am not on any regular medication. <br />Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-50700749290407621622012-10-05T00:11:00.510+01:002012-10-05T00:11:00.510+01:00Mercola may come on a bit strong but it is a sad f...Mercola may come on a bit strong but it is a sad fact that what he writes about is USA medicine and he is in the middle of it,experiencing it and I don't see him being sued. This cannot be said for the main Pharma companies who have been fined amounts averaging $750 million to $1.5 billion for blatantly criminal activity.Flu jabs? no thanks. I don't need my body filled with mercury or aluminium ,both poisons, used as preservative and ajuvant in a concoction with a success rate of between 25-50% You don't have to believe every thing you see on the net, but from bitter experience I don't believe what big pharma says,<br />and you don't always get anything like the full story from the Medical fraternity either.

A few months ago in a local supermarket there were jars of it reduced to 25% of the price because they were past their sell-by date.<br /><br />I wasn't aware honey went 'off' so I bought them all. A quick flash in the microwave and any solid particle liquify. Perfect.<br /><br />I read Mercola too. He does speak sense but he's rather too much of a fanatic at times.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-81508921536574562922012-10-04T20:32:08.923+01:002012-10-04T20:32:08.923+01:00I had mine too EP and am reluctant to get it for t...I had mine too EP and am reluctant to get it for the same reasons.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-83078447476109476562012-10-04T20:31:14.499+01:002012-10-04T20:31:14.499+01:00I'd agree JRB but I do try to keep a very open...I'd agree JRB but I do try to keep a very open mind when delving into Google.<br /><br />I thought you'd be pleased with that comment. :) It is true though.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-5656128525099404172012-10-04T16:26:35.243+01:002012-10-04T16:26:35.243+01:00Manuka Honey from New Zealand, alas, is expensive ...Manuka Honey from New Zealand, alas, is expensive but one option. Then there is Baillie Jamie Nichol of Leith, a nicer antiseptic is hard to find. We are in the position of having to check everything in medications and for that matter food products. It can be quite scary with some stuff. On this subject the Dr. Mercola site is a fun read if rather strident and its own agenda.Demetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198549581667363991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-21031060886092472332012-10-04T12:50:01.846+01:002012-10-04T12:50:01.846+01:00I've just received my annual letter from my GP...I've just received my annual letter from my GP "inviting" me to go for my annual flu jab. Needless to say, I won't be going, having read about the possible problems that we are rarely told about. There is no guarantee that it will be effective against the strain of flu we get this year, it is simply a guess as to the most likely.English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-59059401056005191612012-10-04T10:00:35.737+01:002012-10-04T10:00:35.737+01:00Be careful about reading health books.
