[MelodyMaker]

I've been finding out the hard way. What really gets me is that the doctors never admit to the damage they do. Thanks for the info!

[throughthevalleytherapy]

Thank you for this! Could you imagine how strong our country would be if we were taught this at a young age? Keep being strong and courageous, Dr. Axe!

I am a 72 year old woman on no meds whatsoever. I have no health issues at all. I use natural remedies and supplements. I am a committed Christian and live by faith.

Man, it was a rough road, but getting off prescriptions, opioids/opiates, booze, vape, kratom, cbd, etc. gave me my Freebird Spirit back! Thank you for this information, Dr. Josh Axe 💪

[Worldpeace]

I am proud to be 61 no meds no stress I disciplined myself to not go this route all the years ago. 30 years ago I had a root canal no meds I just got through it by resting my way through. I know family members who take meds and I don't say anything because I'll be judged so I remain silent as I watch them trade bad choice of foods for meds Yuk! Thank you Dr Axe for sharing the truth

[tinacox]

[christyjeannemorgan]

You go Dr Axe. Thanks for speaking truth. I am a naturopath and work hard with my health clients to get them off meds or avoid taking them in the first place. Get to root cause of health issues.

My doctor bullied me onto Statins against my will, and I developed diabetes and cataracts. I suffered along for several years before I fired my doctor and dumped ALL of the prescription drugs he put me on. Three months later and I am feeling much better! The American Medical Association does NOT have your best interests at heart!

No one is on just one. It's multiple per patient.

Thank you Dr. Axe...
Much respect!

Medical injury, medical malpractice and overdiagnosis are real and rampant.

My rule of thumb - if it received inital FDA approval anytime after 1985 I won't touch it.

I was new to caregiving when I cared for my grandparents through their final years, but now looking back I can see that many of their medical issues were due to their medications. 😢 I was so naive during most of that time that I thought the doctors were "helping" us, and perhaps some of them were still well meaning back then.

When I first started helping them, the first thing I questioned was that my Grandma was taking two extra strength Tylenol three times a day, despite the fact that she was not in any noticeable pain. I did at least have the presence of mind to start backing off on those. Even at that time we knew large doses of Tylenol are harmful. Something that was likely a huge part of my grandfather's decline was the fact that he was on Flomax. He was having weak spells every single day and fell on an almost daily basis, sometimes getting injured very seriously. At this point, of course, I had to leave my job to be home with them full time.

[scarlettwinters]

I’ve been stuck on meds I don’t want to be on for years, I wish you still helped people get off their meds

[nancybaumgartner]

I am 61 years old, and find that eating beef, lifting heavy things, spending a lot of time outside, doing lots of vinyasa yoga, and staying away from doctors works well .

[dianetaillefer]

Thank you, much needed content. Your courage to go against the grain is so appreciated.

[ZsuZsu]

The majority of doctors are not trained in nutrition. And the nutritionist that are certified follow the standard American diet. So basically we are screwed. They are not going to recommend nutrition over prescription. We have to take responsibility for our own health. Videos like this will help us and you should keep giving us information like this. Love this video and will keep watching your great advice. I will be checking my medication’s for the nutritional deficiencies they cause and hopefully correct it.
