If I may ...
You know what everyone in that group of people that you hear about all the time has in common? They love telling other people how they should think, how they should live, and think they know what is best for everyone else. Look in a mirror.
I don't know that at all, however, being part of the humankind (as well as of the animal kingdom), and understanding the majority of crap sold to us to eat is crap, (if a food corporations could get away using mud as an ingredient and have it listed a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA), to increase their profits, they would. Seeing as a vast majority of ailments are caused by today's modern diet. I'm not telling anyone how to live. I merely offer my advise and opinion to which I also live by and ascribe to myself. And when I do look in the mirror, I see pretty healthy fellow.
You know what's really funny? A person will not listen to a family member or trusted friend's advise or opinion, [not saying I'm a trusted friend on here], but that same person will pay a psychologist, or doctor, and follow that person's advice and opinion, thinking, because they paid for it, that somehow it is more valid over that of family and friends. When anyone, today, in the modern world, (never before widely available), can, if they so choose, have access to the exact same information, the exact same information [repeated for clarity and emphasis], that those in the medical community have access to. And instead of wasting time for appointments, and paying others, integrate that freely available information into their own lives. What is integrated is solely up to the individual using their own common sense as how far to take it, ie, such as when to really see a doctor when needed or required.
But then, people don't really want to find out, that they themselves are the cause of their own demise, do they? They don't want to know the truth that everything is a lie meant to separate them from their money. That businesses, food, medical, whatever, do not have their health and safety in mind. They want to continue to live in fantasy land, and be, the victim. The woe is me I'm ill, be gently, I hurt and require kid glove treatment, insurance won't cover a prescription syndrome. No, changing to healthy behavior is too hard, too emotionally draining, too challenging. The OP, and others, knows these things to be true, but wish to ignore them. They are hooked like drug addicts on the crap they eat. (Made so by the food manufacturers.) But just like drug users, there are winners and losers. Those who kick the habit and those that die from it. Which will they be?
You have to do your own research and adjust what you are eating/drinking and exercise if you want to stay off meds.
