    Seems a new pill comes out everyday. ( or at least the commercials, I get a kick out of the "side effects") I'm waiting for the drug, "Ignoritol".

    yeah on the side effects.....i see stuff like suicidal thoughts on some of the commercials....seriously?

    hey,let's see the prescriptions these mass shooters are on. i bet that would be illuminating. pretty sure there'd be some hi dollar lawyers blocking that info from being released.

    ^^ i know you're right the healthcare lobby is so deep in corrupting this country is really disgusting.

    Big pharma literally runs this country when you look at the big picture it's sickening. And all the new "ailments" are designed to be diagnosed to feed the pill Mill this country has become.

    Lifelong driver passed away this week in Kingston On. He was playing with his dog while waiting to be unloaded. Keeled over, reviving was not successful. Only 55 years old. Tragic indeed. Dog has been rehomed.

    Stress tests would identify problems and save lives in many cases. Many times it’s a seemingly healthy person who suffers unexpected heart attack

    I am sure the scenario described above is true. It is also true to treat an entire population for possible medical conditions is folly. The number of times a truck driver loses control of his vehicle for a purely medical reason is very small. And the unintended negative side effects of the widespread treatments would far outweigh the benefits of the number of prevented accidents. Far more lives would be saved if concentrating on preventing things like distracted driving. But there is not only no money to made doing that, there is a possible loss of revenue to the communications providers if it were done.
    Follow the money.

    Natural is the only way to go. Reduce the intake of food, better food and drink choices, get out of the seat and walk a little bit each day, and get the proper rest. Also there are many natural food derived substances that can reduce blood pressure naturally. Beet extract is one of the best. It has been shown to be almost as effective as blood pressure reduction medication.
