@bearbayou Thanks for the reminders. The reasons the doctors prefer Big Pharma is two fold, one is the personal financial rewards they may or may not receive and the other is FDA approval for your problem.
OTC drugs are not monitored with FDA approval for anything and you cannot find double blind studies that support the claims made, plus many do not have dosage guidelines and side effects are never listed. All good reasons that I am extremely cautious about taking supplements.

@jabrown0407 --- hello again. I feel that each of us is best served when we decide which healing approach(es) serves our health. Yet, I'm not against prescribed -drugs or else I'd be in trouble with my Hashimoto. .. unfortunately, now I am in trouble because the FDA (headed by Kennedy) is now actively removing porcine- based thyroid RXs from category of accepted treatments for hypothyroid and Hashimoto. ..I can't do the chemical RX for my hypothyroid/Hashimoto.. Thankfully, I can still get something thru Amazon, but unsure for how long. -- I feel each of us has to be informed and take a more active role in our health. --Conclusion: you do you and I'll do me...And may everyone make wise choices regarding their health..
