My next door neighbor in Florida went to a doctor for tests to prove to her family she was fine and could live alone. She WAS fine and 82 yrs old. One of her numbers was a little high so that put her on a med. The med made her legs swell up so they gave her a diaretic. Then it was like a snowball to hell adding meds to take away the side effect for other meds. In 6 months she was taking a handful every day and her last side effect was depression which she NEVER had. I showed her. that ALL her symptoms were from her meds. I encouraged her to wean herself off all. But she was so depressed, she told me she had had enough, and closed her eyes for over a week and died! She was my best friend, but started going on this trolley to please her family!
The docs killed her. I suggest to everyone I know, that if you have a health problem, YOU investigate what YOU can do to help or eliminate through diet, habits etc.
