    i am a bit weird i will agree----
    but i prefer my pickle juice on my pickles
    my mustard on my weiner(you know what i mean)
    but i have to take so many drugs--at max dosage to get cholesteral down that pretty soon i will be on the look out for a new liver
    if somebody has a slice or two i could borrow---would be great
     
    Meltom Thanks this.

    Most good doctors will do blood work once a year and test liver functions.
    Diet and weight loss can sometimes help lower the bp med dose one needs.

    my BP was also too high when i went to get my dot physical. I told them i have white coat syndrome so they told me to come back tomorrow. So the next morning i didn't drink coffee and i started poppin asprin by the time ai got there 4pm i had about 5-6 asprin over a 8hr period got it down and got my 2 yr card. since then i started exercising and went to see my doctor got on a low dose bp medicine and my bp is fine now. The asprin will thin your blood it was a short term fix so i could get my card.

    Ok for the record viagra doesn't give you a woody.. it simply allows the veins that do give you a woody to work... so if you get a woody from the doctor poking you its because you enjoy it.. hahaha

    I passed my hearing test when I told the examier word for word what she said down the hall.. sometimes having such sensitive hearing is a curse.. sometimes not. Hahaha

    Mustard or vinegar isn't going to hide drugs.. now if the find the acidity of your urine to be high little flags will be raised

    Instead of drugs, maybe they should test for mustard or pickle juice to weed out those dumb enough to think they can fool the tests..........

    Well, you know what they say...

    For erections lasting longer than four hours, seek immediate female doctor.

    Or something like that.

    What scares you about modern medicine? Is it the science? Is it the scientific method used to distinguish between what medicines work and which ones do not? Is it the licensing exam that all physicians have to take to get their medical license? Is it the 4 years of medical school, after 4 years of college and then 3 more years of residency training? Is it the chemistry that they must know?

    Maybe it is just me, but when I have a medical issue I will see my doctor for his diagnosis. I always have one or two of my own diagnoses in my head when I go into his office, but I am always wrong.....I guess him going to medical school and a residency training program gives him better odds of making a correct diagnosis than I can... :biggrin_25523:

    Once he has a diagnosis, then he will prescribe either a treatment or a prescription to achieve a healhty result for me....and then I take the pills and lo and behold, my blood pressure comes down, my cholesterol comes down, and I get to live another 10 years.

    I gotta run, there is some catsup and mustard in the fridge and I need to drink them down tonight before I go to bed, so I can pooh in the morning. :biggrin_25525:
