Don't Take That Pill!

I already wrote one book that deals with my research in one very specific (and very technical) area of the problem:

I am also working on another book that deals with another specific and technical aspect of abuse.  But the problems are so comprehensive that it would take several life times to catalogue them all properly, let alone propose remedies.  Moreover, the issue is not so much the specific problems as the intent to create them.  If we were to police clinical trials to ensure that none of the current problems can continue, then I guarantee you that new ones would arise to take their place.  Was that Medusa, who had snakes for hair, and when one was killed two more would grow back?

Yeah.  Just one of many.

And hence I do not put drugs into my body. More people die from prescribed medicine and miseducated doctors than from the illnesses themselves. One should wonder about the good outweighing the bad when they listen to the long list of side effects that is quickly ratted off at the end of medication commercials. It's funny to me the mood altering medications prescribed for depression, one of them being suicide. Ironic eh? Death being one of the others. No thanks, I am better off changing my lifestyle patterns than drowning my poor choices out with medication.
I understand what you're saying about methodology and such, but I simply have to also interject my sentiments of the entire subject of pharmaceutical companies and the medication they claim will cure your problems/illnesses, etc.

I could not possibly agree more!  Brilliant minds think alike!
