I have seen hundreds of people that are hooked on drugs that they never should have taken in the first place. It make my job so much harder to have to work around modern meds. Man can not do what the Great Tao can, heal people's body, mind and spirit. You are the light that shows the way. Thank you for all you share with us, your readers. I am always taken a back by what you write, and always feel closer to the truth when I am done with each of your blogs. After I read your book I felt as if you had thrown a switch in my spirit and it lit the Way so I could see clearly the path before me.

In fact I always wondered about advertising drugs that way. People then get it into their heads they need one or another of them, and they basically end up prescribing themselves when they go to the doctor and ask for them, even regardless of the stated - and often very dangerous - side effects. It's a crazy mixed up world indeed. Excellent point, Rambling. In fact I always wondered about advertising drugs that way.

Every miracle drug comes with a long list of known side effects -- some that actually exacerbate the very condition a person is taking the drug to combat! There's one to help treat depression that has been shown to increase the rate of suicide in some users. Another problem is prescribing drugs to counter the side effects of other drugs: Here, take this for your migraines, but be forewarned it will screw up your intestinal tract. You will need to take this one for your intestinal tract, but be forewarned that it is likely to mess up your equilibrium. You will need to take that one to help restore your equilibrium, but be forewarned that it might cause migraines. Aaaaaah!!
