In no way am I telling anyone what meds to take or not take. I merely passed on the information I had read in this particular book (as I stated in my original letter). It wasn't my OPINION, it's printed in many prescription drug sources. Anyone's welcome to read them anytime. When I said I wouldn't take it myself, I was speaking ONLY for myself. You see, I am no longer on any prescription drugs, thanks to all natural products I've discovered. In researching them, I found there have been double blind studies done on these things for years & years, but the FDA can't patent them, so there's no money to be made...I was quite skeptical at first but then when I had a heel spur and the Doc said "OPERATION", fortunately I was told by a friend what natural supplements to use to rid myself of it and it worked. Also, friends and family with Lupus, M.S., Fibromyalgia (my daughter), Hypothyroid (my mother), and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have found relief with natural products and are now feeling tremendous energy; also my in-laws (now 88 & 89) are finally off all prescription meds and are doing better now than 5 years ago, mostly due to the fact they no longer are experiencing dizziness, fatigue, etc. which were common side effects of the meds they were on. Everyone has choices to make and this is mine. It's not meant to influence anyone else into making the same choices. I really hope you get along well and wish you much luck. Respond if you'd like. I'm open minded!
