Meds are not all evil. I have been onthem n moderation just like my carb
intake, for now over 16years. If you can manage without meds that's fine,
but many can't. You throw around terms like carbs are poison, hating
meds, but accepting traditional medicine(herbs, etc.) How do you feel
about the sulfa drugs introduced after 1934? How do I know that date? I
lost a brother before I was even born to a strep infectin in january of
1935. A year later his life would have been saved by a sulfa drug. Hate
meds, not me. I wish I could have knon Jonny, but i never had the chance

Using tons of meds to try to avoid diet adn exercise is foolish
andnon-productive, but meds , when necessary are a Godsend. As Alan S use
to say "all things in moderation except laughter."
