I'm just passing on what my friend told me--word for word. I wasn't trying to be cynical and if you knew me personally, you would know that I'm not into conspiracy theories, etc. Sadly, this has been my personal experience with commercial medicine. Its a cycle I see my parents going through--being prescribed prescription drug after prescription drug to satiate side-effects while no one bothers to investigate the origin of the problem.

You can roll your eyes, that's fine. I just want people to be aware that there are other options out there and they are worth being explored. Prescription drugs are NOT the only solution.
